I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 714: Sleeping Ancient (crossed out) Torrance Town

Although the previous search for the Sleeping Ancient Town had become a waste of effort due to the poor translation, considering that he had not spent too much time on it in the first place, and now he had stumbled upon it by accident thanks to Klee's good luck, Xie Wen naturally had nothing to be upset about.

Bringing the cats into the town of Tolas, Xie Wen discovered that the residents of this small town with a small population expressed mainly curiosity after seeing them.

It’s not that they shouldn’t be curious, the problem is that Xie Wen is now one of the “Five Emperors” who are famous all over the world, and the cats’ fame is not much worse than his. In theory, they should be more surprised than curious... Even if they are mainly afraid, Xie Wen will not find it strange.

"Welcome, guests from afar."

An old lady with wrinkles all over her face and about the same height as Elu's cats (except Kaido's cat) came forward with a cane. She looked at the cats and Shirahoshi with curiosity, and said slowly, "It's been a long time since outsiders have come to Torrance. I'm the village chief here. You can call me Maroma."

"Hello, Granny Maroma. Klee is here to look for treasure!"

(=＞＜=)

The little puppet, without any guard, held up the treasure map and directly stated his purpose.

As a result, the village chief Maroma didn't pay any attention to the treasure map in Klee's hand. Instead, he shouted in horror: "The cat is talking!"

Xie Wen: "..."

Emmm... How should I put it? It's a really nostalgic reaction.

Even if she didn't know Klee and the others, this place was at least in the second half of the Grand Line. How could she not have even seen the Minks?

Xie Wen seemed to understand why everyone here had such a curious expression. They really didn’t know him!

However, although this kind of thing is rare, Xie Wen has encountered it before. In some remote sea areas, the investment and return are not proportional, so the news birds do not come often. There are also some islands where you can only see a bound edition of a newspaper once every few years.

Another situation is that the rulers deliberately cut off the outside sources of information, so that ordinary people cannot access news birds and newspapers at all, such as the original Wano Country.

Not to mention the existence of islands like Zou that are constantly moving and that news birds cannot enter or find.

So Xie Wen was only briefly surprised, and then he had no intention of introducing himself to the other party. He just followed Klee's words and explained his purpose again.

"Treasure hunting?" Village chief Maroma shook his head. "I grew up on this island, and I've never heard of any treasure here..."

"Oh, it's possible that the treasure was buried here earlier, and we don't know."

Perhaps thinking that this was a bit impolite, the village chief Maroma quickly made up for it and then warmly invited: "Anyway, since you have come from afar, you should go to the town to rest for a while. Although Torrance is small, it also has a very good inn... It is an old inn with hundreds of years of history that has been passed down from my grandfather's grandfather to the present!"

"So it's your family's business! No wonder it's praised so much, meow!"

∑(=`Д=)

Touma-nyan shouted out the same words that Xie Wen wanted to complain about.

Although he might be suspected of bragging, Xie Wen still took everyone to the only hotel in Torrance.

Xie Wen couldn't tell whether it was good or not, but it was definitely old. The wooden doors and windows of the hotel had obvious signs of decay, and the sign on the door looked shaky...

"Ahahahaha...since there are so few guests on the island, the hotel hasn't been well maintained," Maroma laughed dryly twice, then explained confidently: "But the hotel is still great inside, after all, we also have a part-time restaurant here!"

Then, she added, muttering quietly, "Otherwise I would have turned it off long ago..."

Xie Wen: "..."

Although this old woman did not appear in the main story of the comic, her personality is that of a typical pirate.

However, for Xie Wen and his friends, the quality of the hotel is not that important. They just need a temporary place to stay.

After all, they didn't intend to interfere with the team building of Klee and the other little ones, so the rest of the people and cats stayed in Torrance Town to rest, including Xie Wen, Huamei and Kaido, the three "parents" who could control the little cats.

As for the job of looking after the kittens, it was given to Robin, who speculated that there might be ruins here and planned to act with Klee and the others.

Although he is not as good as Xie Wen and the other three, as the only "cat comber" second to Xie Wen in the investigation team, the little cats can still listen to Robin's words, so Xie Wen is still relatively relieved.

The most important thing is that, from the impression given, Luffy didn't seem to encounter any difficulties in the process of obtaining the vampire fruit. Instead, he had time to summon a large number of people to "play" with Luffy, and even copied the venue.

Right now, the Lonely Red, whose name Xie Wen couldn't remember, was still hiding in the city. It was impossible for Klee and the others to encounter a situation where they needed to drop a bomb.

With this thought in mind, Xie Wen leisurely watched Klee and the others walk deeper into the island.

"Hehe~ Keli is not here~ I can be intimate with Xie Wen again~"

(=w=)

As soon as Xie Wen returned to the hotel, Xia Ermi couldn't wait to throw herself into Xie Wen's arms and started to act coquettishly with him.

"It's not like I don't stick close to you sometimes," Xie Wen said, rubbing her head expertly, "Except for Klee and Ai, you're the one who sticks to me the most, right?"

“Huluhuhuhuhu… But I want to be like Klee and Ai, and stick to Xie Wen all the time~”

(=w=)

While enjoying Xie Wen's service, Xia Ermi continued to act coquettishly towards Xie Wen.

The Huiyuan cat squatting on Xie Wen's shoulder snorted proudly: "I don't want to stick to Xie Wen, an idiot. I just stay with this idiot to accompany Keli, meow!"

(=`へ=)

"If you want to kiss with Keli, I can do that too~ Since you don't like to kiss with Xie Wen, why don't I take over?"

(=w=)

Sharmi, who knew Huibara's personality well, teased her deliberately.

"Hmm... Hmm... Sister Sharmi is several years older than Klee, and we don't have much in common, so I'll just stay with Klee!"

(=vv=)

The little kitten grunted and struggled for a long time, and finally came up with this reason which was not a reason.

In fact, Haibara Cat also knew that Sharmi was teasing her on purpose, but with the character of this tsundere little cat, she would continue to be stubborn even if she knew it.

Seeing that the evil-minded Xia Ermi was about to speak again, the little kitten took the initiative and jumped off Xie Wen's shoulder with a "meow", pounced on Xia Ermi and fought with her.

then……

As expected, most of the two kittens' paws were on a "Blue Star" brand cat climbing frame.

Xie Wen: "..."

Just when he was about to take action to stop the two little cats from joining forces to deal with him, Sharmi, who was throwing cat punches with Huiyuan Meowth, suddenly transformed into an element, broke free from the entanglement of the little kittens, and landed on Xie Wen's shoulder.

"Thank you, dear Wen. There are a lot of people coming this way, and they seem to have bad intentions, meow!"

(=`ー=)

Xiaermi turned her head towards the outside of the hotel and pressed down her ears.
