Chapter 277 The cat opens its mouth
“Ah! It's Uncle Cody, meow!” The little puppet immediately came to the phone and said hello: “This is Keli~ Good evening, uncle, meow!”
"It turns out to be Xiao Keli, good evening, you are here too." Cody responded cheerfully, and then coaxed the little puppet and said: "Uncle and your brother Xie Wen have something to talk about. Can Xiao Keli Give him the phone bug?”
“Okay meow~”
Keli Miao obediently stepped aside and handed the microphone to Xie Wen.
“Uncle, please wait a moment, it's not convenient for me to talk about things right now.”
Even though Xie Wen and the others are now on the streets of the Seven Waters Capital, and there is no one else around them for the time being, Xie Wen still plans to postpone this conversation to a later date.
It's not that he was worried about someone suddenly coming out, and what he and the cats saw and heard was not for show. The real reason why Xie Wen postponed the conversation was...
His brain trust (Hua Mei Miao and Robin) are not around at this time.
Although I really don't want to admit it, Blue Star is obviously not good at intelligence... No! He is not good at intrigues and bargaining!
Well, that's right!
After a pause, he added: "Besides, the reward on the black market was distributed by you, right?"
That's why I hate those of you who are playing with information, you are really so rude!
“I hung up the phone.” Xie Wen said with a dark face.
According to the discussion and analysis between Xie Wen and the think tanks of the investigation team, there is another possibility that his reward order was used by the World Government to make Xie Wen feel a sense of crisis and thus agree to the Shichibukai invitation. After all, the reason why Xie Wen refused before There's no bounty on him, so why would he join the Shichibukai when he's full?
It was naturally impossible for Uncle Cody to admit it, but his answer was almost like admitting it... As an official intelligence officer, how could he know whether there was a reward on Xie Wen?
Although Xie Wen feels that this speculation is a bit wishful thinking, based on the brain circuit of the pirate world, this possibility is indeed higher than that of Big Mom and Tianyaksha.
“The fur cat who gave you advice is with you now?”
After taking the cats back to the dock, Xie Wen didn't bother to tell them about the process of going out. Instead, he gathered everyone together, briefly talked about Cody's call, and then dialed the number. The other person's phone number.
“What reward? I don't know.”
"It's not an excessive request..." Xie Wen laughed and said, "You should have found out that I have a hobby of collecting famous swords and devil fruits, so... first give me some devil fruits and the supreme sword. Things like that shouldn't be nothing to you, right?”
"So, what kind of compensation do you want?" Cody had already intended to remind Xie Wen before, so naturally he was not surprised that he wanted to raise conditions now, but Cody still bargained with a "professional ethics" Said: "It's not okay to go too far. After all, we have given you a lot of privileges."
After pretending to be a very stupid person, Cody quickly skipped this question and returned to the topic.
“You really dare to speak! Devil Fruit and the Supreme Sword! And some more!”
After the call was connected, this was the first thing Uncle Cody said.
“Hahaha! Sorry, sorry,” Uncle Cody apologized with a smile: “So, what is your decision?”
"In principle... I have no objection to becoming a Shichibukai, but..." Xie Wen deliberately dragged out his voice and said unhurriedly: "After all, I am a 'good citizen', and suddenly I and those wanted criminals were Working together...you have to give me some compensation, right?"
Cody laughed angrily. He had hinted that Xie Wen could put forward some conditions, but he didn't expect him to be so open-minded... No, Xie Wen's kid didn't say anything about this, it should be a cat's open-mindedness. !
Xie Wen didn't know that the other party was despising his IQ again, and continued to ask for prices as planned: "Yes, it's best to be of the natural type, the animal type of the fantasy beast species is also acceptable, the superhuman type of the pseudo-natural type or the ancient species." I don't mind it, anyway, give me two or three of the fruits from the three series.”
Seeing that Xie Wen was going too far, Cody quickly interrupted: "No! If there are fruits of natural type and fantasy beast species, wouldn't we use them to cultivate our own people?! Why should I give them to you!"
“Tsk…” Xie Wen smacked his lips. Didn't it mean that the Celestial Dragons didn't take devil fruits seriously and could just feed them to slaves?
"Then it's okay to give me a few more from the superhuman type and the ordinary animal type, right?" Xie Wen continued to bargain: "It doesn't matter if it's the superhuman type, it's best if the animal type can give me the Bug Fruit, but the shape doesn't matter. I'm forcing it, um...let's take three of each first.”
"No! Your conditions are too excessive, and the superiors will not agree to it!"
Cody was helpless and began to wonder if his suggestion of hinting Xie Wen was a little ill-considered.
“Uncle, you can't make a decision anyway, so just report it to the superior. What if they agree?”
"If you really tell me the conditions like this, I won't have many good days in the future!" The phone bug imitated Cody's expression and rolled his eyes wildly, "You are planning to kill me!"
"That's it...Uncle, what conditions do you think the report will not affect you?"
“At most one of each type of fruit...ah! It's best to have no conditions at all!”
I don't know if Uncle Cody was angry and confused, or if he was deliberately trying to give Xie Wen some advice, but Xie Wen accepted it with a smile.
“Then let's do it! One each for the Superman type and one for the Animal type. The best one for the Animal type is the Bug Fruit. For your sake, uncle, I won't give up the supreme sharp knife!”
"Then I really thank you!" Uncle Cody said through gritted teeth. After calming down for a while, he seemed to have calmed down and his tone returned to normal: "I will report your conditions, just wait for my news. "
After saying that, he hung up the phone on his own initiative.
After ending the call with Cody, Xie Wen turned around and forgot about the matter...
They are not the ones who are anxious anyway, and even if they fail to become a Shichibukai, there will be no loss for the investigation team, so they still focus more on adding new functions to the Dudu Qianjin.
Originally I just wanted to give her a golden lion form, but I don't know if she was inspired by the drawings of Pluto. Miao Erya thought of many new functions and added them casually during the upgrade process. Got in.
But even so, the entire upgrade process did not take much time. After Xie Wen settled the account with Carrera, he left the Seven Waters City again.
Of course, this time he finally followed the normal direction of the record pointer.
It's just…
“Are we going to Fish-Man Island now?”
Xie Wen looked at the pointer pointing diagonally downward in the record pointer and scratched his nose in surprise.
In the first half of the Grand Route, I passed fewer islands than I thought...
But after carefully recalling the plot in the comics, it seems that except for the Drum Kingdom, which is not on this line, they have not missed anything, and they even went to an extra resort island.
I don't know whether it's because this route has fewer islands, or whether it's the same for the first half of the route.
It would be best if it is the latter, because it will be much easier for Xie Wen when he comes back to draw pictures in the future.
In addition, it has been several days. Their ships have been upgraded, but there is no news from the World Government or Uncle Cody.
It seems that in addition to corruption, world governments also have problems such as cumbersome procedures and slow response that are common to most officials.
