I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 794: Marinford Changes [Merry Christmas]

Just as Xie Wen and the others were discussing Im's situation, the fight on the BIG MOM Pirates side also came to an end.

In fact, it is not quite accurate to call it a "fight", because neither Whitebeard and Red Hair who arrived first, nor Kaido who arrived a little later, actually had any intention of fighting.

Whitebeard and Red Hair didn't want to fight, but Kaido knew that he couldn't beat them both alone.

But Kaido also did not want to give up the "fat meat" of the BIG MOM Pirates easily, so he cunningly proposed to compete fairly with Whitebeard in the capacity of "ally".

To put it another way - let the members of the Big Mom Pirates choose which side to follow.

This is what Whitebeard originally thought. He doesn't have the habit of forcibly adopting others as his sons/daughters, so naturally he has no objection. As for Red-Haired Man, who just came to join in the fun and support Whitebeard, he would definitely not cause trouble.

Therefore, those who were not liked by BIG MOM or those who did not have much ambition and just wanted to find someone to protect them basically joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and among the remaining people, not all of them joined the Beasts Pirates.

Several major forces led by Perospero and Katakuri were unwilling to see the BIG·MOM Pirates disappear, so they wanted to continue to maintain it and decided not to join either side...even though they knew that after inheriting the name of the BIG·MOM Pirates, they would be visited by their former enemies.

There is also a small group of people who don't even want to be pirates. They want to return to their original "homeland" based on their bloodline and live a peaceful life.

In response to these people's request, Shanks, who had been unable to get a word in, immediately stepped forward and volunteered to escort them back.

Therefore, in the end, there were not many members who joined the Beasts Pirates, and most of them were non-blood relatives such as Long Bread and Baron Egg.

Although this result was somewhat beyond Kaido's expectations, since he had already spoken as an "ally", it would be inappropriate for him to continue to force Katakuri and the others. Fortunately, he didn't think about how long these youngsters could hold out after losing the protection of BIG MOM. At worst, he could just wait and see how they deal with it later.

As for Charlotte Linlin's "beloved" Vinsmoke Judge, even though he lost control of his three sons, he is still a favorite in Kaido's eyes. After all, what really attracts attention about Judge is his scientific and technological knowledge, not those mediocre cyborgs.

But unfortunately, Judge, who "deeply loves" Charlotte Linlin, just like Katakuri and others, wants to maintain the name of the BIG MOM Pirates for his "deceased wife", so he chose not to join either side.

Although Reiju is no longer under Judge's control, she still chooses to stay with her father because she still has feelings for him. Besides, this is also a way to repay Katakuri, Perospero and others for their concern for her...

Even though she actually didn't have a good impression of the remaining BIG MOM pirate group.

"...That means you guys can join the battle now, right?"

As soon as the meeting ended, Xie Wen and Dragon received good news from Shanks, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Revolutionary Army has the upper hand at the moment, on the one hand, we are in the open while the enemy is in the dark, and Im's teleportation is elusive, so it is impossible to establish a fixed defense line. On the other hand, in addition to the remnants of the World Government, there are many guys who are trying to take advantage of the situation, which will also take up some of their energy, so overall they are still very short of manpower.

In addition to the further expanded Whitebeard Pirates and Beasts Pirates, the second captain of the BIG MOM Pirates, Charlotte Perospero, also decided to continue fighting as an ally of the Revolutionary Army.

In addition to wanting to take this opportunity to take revenge on the World Government and Im, it is also because it will allow him to establish good relations with Xie Wen and others.

Perospero, who was originally the military advisor of the BIG·MOM Pirates, is not stupid. Of course, he is very aware of their current predicament. Without the top combat power, if they want to continue to survive under the name of "BIG·MOM" surrounded by wolves, then Charlotte Linlin's previous "connections" must be maintained.

But no matter what their real thoughts are, in short, the fighting power of these pirate alliances has not decreased much except for the lack of BIG MOM.

And the good news that Xie Wen and the others received... well, it should be considered good news, not just this one.

Because after finishing the call with Shanks, Xie Wen, or more precisely Sanji-nyan, received a call from Borsalino.

"Xie Wen, I have nowhere to go now. Can you and Dorag be so kind as to take me in as an old widower?"

The voice coming from the Den Den Mushi was still as despicable as ever, but Xie Wen could hear suppressed anger and sadness in it.

There was no need for Xie Wen to guess or ask, Borsalino quickly gave the answer -

"Kuzan is dead."

Borsalino's tone became serious, and his anger became more and more obvious. "Not only Kuzan, but almost all the senior naval officers in the headquarters were killed by that madman named Im. Only I was fast enough to escape from there."

As he revealed the details of the Marinford tragedy, Xie Wen found that his previous speculation (the crow's mouth) was likely correct again...

The headquarters navy first had a small part of their souls forcibly torn off by the Ancient Saint Grimm who had mastered the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, and then, like Charlotte Linlin, they were drained by the black mist and turned into skeletons.

Obviously, the cost of those teleportation arrays is either the soul or the vitality. In any case, they must be exchanged for human lives, and it seems that the consumption is not low.

"In that case, you can also come and stop the sabotage actions of Im and the Celestial Dragons. It just so happens that you are fast enough..."

Dorag took the microphone from Shevin and communicated with Borsalino: "Report your current location to me, and then go to the nearest base of the Revolutionary Army. Someone will tell you what to do."

Although in the original comics, Kizaru's position is somewhat vague, and he was even joked by netizens as Luffy's second uncle, the actual situation is that he is not really an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, so even if his reasons are very sufficient, Dragon would not let him come to Baldigo so defenselessly.

Borsalino obviously understood this, so he naturally had no objection. Besides...

"That's great. I have a big account to settle with those celestial dragons!"

Kizaru on the other end of the Den Den Mushi said with murderous intent.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

After ending the call with Kizaru, Dragon turned to Xie Wen and pleaded sincerely: "Although Borsalino's joining can greatly reduce our burden, as long as Im is alive, this sea will never be peaceful. So, Mr. Xie Wen, Klee, please be sure to find Im. We must destroy him at all costs!"

Xie Wen nodded, then patted the little puppet's head on his shoulder.

"Without further delay, Keli, I leave it to you!"

"oh--!"

(=`ー=)

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Klee became serious for a rare time. She jumped to the ground and started spinning in circles seriously.

Just as the little puppet used metaphysical methods to determine the location of Im, Xie Wen, who knew that she was far inferior to treasure hunters in finding people, said to Dorag, "We can't put all our hopes on Klee's luck. You should also pay more attention to places where there are large-scale deaths or disappearances, and where a large number of skeletons suddenly appear. Im might be nearby."

"I'll notify them right away!"

Sabo on the side immediately ran towards Baldigo's contact center.

At this time, Klee, who was spinning in circles, also stopped...

"Brother Xie Wen! Let's go this way, meow!"

(=`ー)

The little puppet raised its arm in the direction of its tail and said confidently, "Kelly has a feeling that the bad guy named Yimu must be in this direction, meow!"

Xie Wen did not set off immediately, but instead cast a questioning look at Touma Meowth.

"..."

(In)

Although he was very angry, the little cow cat still followed his instincts and pointed in the opposite direction of Klee. "I think Im should be in that direction, meow."

With two "destiny cats" with positive and negative dual positioning, this time it's really settled!
