I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Finally met a living person!

 After sailing like this for two more days, there was still no land in sight, but the news bird came again.

Xie Wen:? ? ?

 Could it be that Morgans does not allow payment with dried small fish, so the news bird came back to ask for repayment two days ago?

"This one is not the same bird as the previous one," Sanji, who guessed Xie Wen's thoughts, crossed his hands and cast a look of contempt at him, "The smell is different, meow."

 “Oh…” Xie Wen understood.

 So what is the situation now? What major events happened in just two days? Or is the World Economic News updated so frequently?

 It is indeed not the same one, even the cry is different...

After the news bird settled on the mast, it immediately stretched out its wings and gestured towards Xie Wen.

After a lot of guessing, Xie Wen finally understood the purpose of the other party - he had heard about Xiao Yu's work from the previous news bird, and came after him to ask for a taste of two. In exchange, he would lead Xie Wen went to find a boat closest to them.

This business is feasible. After all, News Bird can deliver newspapers everywhere on the vast sea. There must be some special means of locating ships. Compared to the land where we don't know how far away it is and we don't know the situation above, we need to take a smooth sailing boat to get there. An island with human settlements is obviously a better choice.

Even if the other party's destination is not suitable for Xie Wen and the others to land, you can first ask them about the situation in the nearby sea area. At worst, you can get off the ship in advance.

"Deal!" Xie Wen took out two small dried fish and threw them to the news bird. "After we find the boat, I will give you three more."

 “Goo!”

　　The Newsbird, which swallowed two small fish dried, became more energetic. Originally it was just planning to stay on the mast to guide the way. It flapped its wings a few times and flew directly to the front of the raft to start guiding the way.

 Xie Wen also took out the simple oar he had made before and started rowing hard.

Under the guidance of News Bird, a small black spot soon appeared on the sea ahead. Looking at the direction of the other party...it seemed that it was still where Kelimiao pointed before...

It doesn't matter, it's good to meet people in advance.

Xie Wen, who always felt a little bit shortchanged, comforted himself in his heart.

“Kelly, can you see what kind of boat that is?”

Xie Wen continued to wave the oar in his hand while asking Kelimiao who climbed to the top of the mast.

"It's a big ship, meow~" Kelly said nonsense, and then added: "Kelly didn't see the pirate flag, meow."

It seems that their luck is pretty good... Although with Xie Wen's current strength, they won't be too scared even if they encounter pirates.

As Xie Wen and the others got closer, the ship of unknown power also discovered them.

 Perhaps they thought Xie Wen's raft was not a threat, or maybe out of good intentions, the other party not only did not continue moving forward, but turned the boat's bow towards Xie Wen and the others.

"Thanks a lot."

Xie Wen, who had already confirmed that he could board the ship, threw the remaining three small dried fish to the News Bird. The News Bird caught the small dried fish, made a "coo" sound, and then flapped its wings and left.

After a while, the big ship came to Xie Wen's small raft, and then a rope ladder was thrown down from the side of the ship.

 “Come up quickly!”

 A head poked out from above and shouted at Xie Wen and the others.

 “Let's go.”

 Xie Wen waved to his two cats, and Sanji Meow and Keli Meow skillfully climbed on top of him, occupying two of his shoulders respectively.

After carrying the two Ellu cats, Xie Wen had no idea of ​​showing off and climbed up the rope ladder honestly. "who are you?"

After boarding the deck, Xie Wen was immediately surrounded by a group of sailors holding swords. They looked at Xie Wen and the two cats on his shoulders with vigilance and curiosity.

Xie Wen doesn't think there is anything wrong with this situation. In this world where pirates are rampant, it is normal to be wary of strangers.

 Furthermore, to be able to choose to save people in this situation...the captain of this ship is a good man!

First, he sent a good guy card to the captain whom he had not yet met. Xie Wen raised his hands and said half-truthfully: "I am just an ordinary person in distress. The ship I was on was in trouble and I live on an uninhabited island." It's been a long time, and I just recently escaped from that island.”

In order to avoid conflicts as much as possible, when Xie Wen discovered the ship from a distance, he put the fresh knife Bai Nagi into his extrdimensional pocket, so he doesn't look threatening at all now.

The strong man who seemed to be the boatswain looked at Xie Wen carefully. He probably felt that the animal skin wrapped around him was too convincing, so after pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and asked the other sailors to put away their weapons.

"You're lucky. Our boss is a well-known good man in the nearby waters. If you encounter other merchant ships, they will most likely not let you on board." A smile finally appeared on the strong man's face, and then he turned his gaze Moving towards the two cats on Xie Wen's shoulders, "Are they two fur tribes? I have heard some old sailors mention it. It is said that they are a rare race in the Grand Line."

"Maybe, I don't know." Xie Wen continued to lie half-truthfully: "I met them on the island where they were shipwrecked, and they called themselves Elu cats."

He had originally thought about letting the El cats pretend to be fur cats, but considering that he would summon more and more El cats in the future, it would be okay to have one or two fur cats around him, but all the cats would follow. The fur tribe is too weird, and there are still some differences between Ellu cats and the cat fur tribe, so I just don't bother to hide it.

Since there are so many weird races in this world, it's not a big deal to have one more El Cat Tribe.

The strong man didn't pay attention to this and said instead: "You have been drifting on the sea for so long. You must be thirsty and hungry? I will take you to eat something."

 “Uh...thank you.”

Although this was not the case, Xie Wen did not refuse the other party's kindness and followed him with two cats.

 After simply eating some dry and hard bread, Xie Wen also got a general understanding of the situation from the strong man.

This is a merchant ship that runs trade between several nearby islands. The owner's name is Cody, who is considered a well-known businessman in this area.

Even though there is only one merchant ship in front of you, Mr. Cody actually owns a fleet. However, the reason why he is really famous is what the strong man just mentioned - he is a rare good man.

And the strong man is not the boatswain as Xie Wen had guessed before, but Cody's steward, named Bacchus.

But looking at his burly figure and the weapons hanging on his waist, this butler probably has a part-time bodyguard.

As for the sea area they were in, Xie Wen also asked through some insinuations - the Blue of the West, also known as the West Sea.

Xie Wen didn't know much about the West Sea. He only remembered that it was Shanks' hometown and the sea area where O'Hara was located…

I don't know if the Demon Slaying Order incident happened.

 Xie Wen muttered secretly in his heart, but he was not very interested in Nicole Robin.

Although the protagonists of many fan fictions like to drag her on board, Xie Wen has no intention of becoming a pirate and has no interest in historical texts. Moreover, his golden finger determines that he must lead the cats around the world. If Take a Nico Robin with you who can translate ancient texts...

This is because he is afraid that the world government will not target him.

The reason why Xie Wen wants to know whether O'Hara was killed by the Demon-Slaying Order is simple, because he remembers that Robin was exactly 8 years old at that time, and from this he can calculate her current age, so where she is now The time point can also be roughly calculated.

  After all, it is really depressing to know that you know a lot of things but are blind because you cannot determine the time.
