I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

Xie Wen and the cats covered their ears very skillfully and looked very calm.

After all, compared to Kelimiao's sonic bomb, Rab's roar was just like that.

Crocas on the side was anxious: "Oops! I was busy chatting and forgot to give Rab a sedative!"

As he spoke, he was about to jump into the sea, and then was grabbed by Xie Wen.

"Hua Mei, please try first to see if you can calm this big guy down."

After a period of training, Hua Mei Miao has been able to freely retract and release her domineering color, and can control it very well. She has even started to try to practice domination.

After all, she is Xiang Feihu, the overlord of the Seven Seas. Xie Wen is not surprised at all that she can perform like this... at best, he is a little depressed.

Huamei Miao turned to look at Labu. The pupils in her eyes instantly shrank to the shape of needlepoints, and the hair on her body also expanded slightly.

The next second, Labu, who was still yelling, suddenly became quiet. Although he did not faint, his big eyes exposed above the sea showed a look of fear, and his huge body trembled. The nearby sea water stirred up waves.

"Overlord and domineering?"

Crocas had been following the Pirate King for a while. Although he couldn't feel Hua Mei Miao's domineering look, he could guess what happened by looking at Labu's appearance.

However, after a brief surprise, he ran towards Labu again. This time Xie Wen did not stop him. After all, it was impossible for Hua Mei Meow to "control" Labu with his overbearing color.

While Crocas was getting into Rab's body, Xie Wen took out the hunter's manual...

Sure enough, the fragments of the general pool in the Monster Manual are easier to collect. As long as it is a well-known large monster that appears in the plot, one will be given.

Regardless of those animals that only flashed by in the comics and are smaller in size, there are still many large animals with names on the route that Luffy took, such as the big snake Sky Lord and the fishman on Sky Island. The island's giant octopus Kraken, the largest known creature currently known as the Elephant Lord, etc.

Well, I don’t know if Chopper will be included in the small monster manual. If so, how can he exchange it for a summoning ticket fragment?

Just as Xie Wen was recalling the animals, big and small, that had appeared in the comics, Crocass, who had sedated Rab, had returned to the shore. Under the effect of the sedative, Rab was no longer so calm. Instead of being manic, he floated quietly on the sea, looking sadly at the other end of the Upside Down Mountain.

"Thank you." Crocas bowed gratefully to Hua Mei Miao, "Thanks to your help, Labu didn't hurt himself this time."

"Grandpa Crocas, what happened to this big whale? Kelly can feel that it is very sad." The little puppet lay on Xie Wen's shoulder and asked curiously.

(=ω=)

Because he had seen the overbearing look of Huamei Meow before, Crocas was not so surprised by Keli Meow's insightful look. He just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then talked about Labu The story...is no different from what Xie Wen knows.

Then, Kelimiao asked something that Xie Wen was also curious about...

"Then why doesn't it go find the Lumba Pirates?" Kelimiao tilted her head in confusion, "Those people should be going in that direction, right? What's the point of this big whale roaring in the opposite direction? Meow?"

"...Because they agreed to meet here!" Crocas was choked, and then replied matter-of-factly: "Rabu was worried that the people from the Lombard Pirates returned here as agreed, but saw It’s not like you, so it has stayed here for decades.”

"Emmmm..."

Xie Wen and the cats all looked incomprehensible.

Then Krokas sighed again and said: "Actually, Rab also knows that the possibility of the Lombard Pirates coming back is very low, but he is forcing himself to believe that they will come back. Waiting here is already his last point. There is little hope."

Well, this explanation is more reasonable, and more in line with the setting of this world that is easy to get crazy.

Although he admired Rab's persistence, Xie Wen couldn't persuade him like Luffy because he didn't have the easily convincing temperament of "Joyboy", so even if he imitated Luffy in the comics After a fight with Rab, he made an agreement, but that was not his sincere behavior, and Rab might not take it seriously.

However, time travelers have their own ways.

"If it's the Lumba Pirates, I actually know some news about them."

Xie Wen's words instantly caught Rab's attention. Even though the tranquilizer effect in his body was still there, the persistent whale still came to the shore excitedly, and its tail continued to create huge splashes.

"The vast majority of them had contracted serious illnesses and died many years ago." Xie Wen did not show off and said directly: "But the musician named Brooke did not die because he ate the underworld fruit. , is now drifting along the Grand Line in a state of skeleton."

"Oh oh oh oh... gah!"

Labu once again screamed excitedly, but was silenced by Hua Mei Miao's glare.

Crocas looked at Xie Wen with some suspicion, "Are you telling the truth?"

After all, Xie Wen looked less than twenty years old, how could he possibly know about the Lombard Pirates who had disappeared nearly fifty years ago, but when he thought about it, it was actually quite incredible that the other party knew his identity. , so... is it really possible?

"Didn't I say it before? I know a little more than the average person." Xie Wen shrugged, "How about you leave me a phone number or life paper or something. If we meet Brooke in the future, It's good to have a channel for him to contact you."

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing what Xie Wen said so convincingly, Crocas finally believed what he said. He quickly turned around and ran into the lighthouse, took a piece of life paper with his phone number written on it and handed it to Xie Wen.

After settling the matter with Rab, Xie Wen chatted with Krocas for a while...

Then he, who was originally confident, began to feel confused again.

Because Xie Wen didn't understand many basic things in the Grand Line at all, but he also knew some information that was not so widely known, so by the end of the conversation, he was completely confused whether to believe Xie Wen's words.

Of course Xie Wen didn't mean to play tricks on Crocas, but he had to figure out how to accurately enter the route that Luffy took, so naturally he had to figure out with Crocas what the starting islands of the seven routes were, and How to get there.

Although Crocas was a little confused, he still told Xie Wen the method competently.

The recording pointer was able to collect the magnetism of seven initial islands at the same time on Gemini Cape, but the specific island it collected was completely random. According to the experience summarized by previous people, it is probably related to the changes in the magnetic field strength of each island.

But no matter what the reason is, every newcomer who comes to Twin Capes can only determine which route they are taking by recording the charts of the seven islands and the direction of the recording pointer after collecting the magnetic field.

If you fail to choose the route you want to take, you can also use special means to remove the recorded magnetism and then collect new magnetism, so as long as you stay in Twin Capes long enough, you can choose all seven routes. over and over again.

But for Xie Wen, things don't need to be so troublesome, because when he crossed the Grand Line before, he snatched a lot of record pointers from those pirates.

so……

He just needs to take out one of them and exchange it with the pointer in Crocas's hand that has recorded the magnetism of Cactus Island.

For the sake of Xie Wen and others helping to appease Rabu, Crocas readily handed over the record pointer, but he also came with an additional request——

"Ever since I saw the news about the El Cat Sea Mobile Restaurant in the newspaper, I have been looking forward to the day when you can come here, so you have to cook me a meal no matter what." My own cooking skills are relatively good The average Crocas swallowed, "I can pay!"

It was just a meal, so Xie Wen certainly had no reason to refuse, and it was impossible to actually charge Krocas.

only……

When Sanji Miao brought the prepared food, a small pirate ship rushed down from the Upside Down Mountain. At the same time, a hearty voice broke through the sound of the waves and came from the pirate ship. ——

"Deus! I seem to smell the aroma of food!"
