I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

"Wow!"

Capone Becky, who was in the castle man state, spat out a mouthful of blood and looked in disbelief at the Nodachi sword in Xie Wen's hand that had penetrated deeply into his body.

His wall-like shell failed to function as a defense at all. Not only was it pierced by Xie Wen, but it also opened a huge gap as if it had been bombarded by a cannonball.

"Yo? You're not dead?"

Xie Wen pulled out the knife, shook off the blood on it, and said with raised eyebrows.

Although he didn't use his armor just now, he definitely didn't hold back and went straight for Becky's chest.

But maybe it was because Castleman's form made him unable to grasp his position, or maybe Becky used the fruit's ability to deal with his injuries. In short, Becky barely survived.

Xie Wen originally planned to step forward and kill Becky with a finishing blow, and then stab him with a hunting knife to see if he could dig out a Fortress Fruit, but in the end he did not do so...

Because Uncle Cody stepped forward to stop him.

"Stop it, Xie Wen." Uncle Cody looked at Xie Wen and the two cats in surprise, and dissuaded him: "The other two families of Gurez have been destroyed. If the Capone family is finished again, , the situation here will become very troublesome."

Xie Wen frowned. To be honest, this reason... he didn't quite believe it.

Cody used to be a marine after all, and he was a very popular marine. Xie Wen didn't think that his "good old guy" attribute would be effective against a gangster like Capone Becky.

But no matter what, Uncle Cody had taken good care of him before, and he seemed to be hiding a mysterious identity, so there were probably other reasons for stopping Xie Wen...

"Since you said so, uncle..."

Xie Wen, who gave up the last hit, sheathed his sword, and then said calmly to Capone Becky, who had returned to his normal appearance but was covered in blood: "But, Boss Becky, shouldn't you give me some compensation?" ?”

"Cough cough cough..." After Capone Becky coughed out two more mouthfuls of blood, he covered the wound that was finally not so tragic after returning to normal state and decisively admitted: "You won, tell me, you what do you want?"

In just a short moment, the losses suffered by the Capone family far exceeded the losses of the other two families just solved, and even he himself almost lost his life. What else could he do if he didn't give in?

"Well..." Seeing that Becky knew the current affairs so well, Xie Wen nodded with satisfaction. After thinking for a while, he said: "My cats and I want to go to sea, but we still need a boat for the time being. In addition, I still have one year left." A well-qualified sword."

The chance of getting a Devil Fruit by stabbing Becky's body was very low. It would be better to just use a famous sword and get a summoning ticket fragment safely. Thinking about it this way, it seemed more cost-effective to let Becky go.

"No problem, it's just a ship. I'll ask someone to take you to the port. No matter which ship you like, you can just drive away! As for the famous sword, I will also ask someone to send it over as soon as possible. No later than Three days." Becky agreed without hesitation.

For the Capone family, a ship is nothing. Even if Xie Wen picked the biggest one, he would not feel any distress. In this world dominated by oceans, the cost of building ordinary ships is not high.

As for the famous sword, the price is actually not too high, especially when Xie Wen has no special requirements for the grade of the famous sword.

Therefore, Becky had no intention of bargaining with Xie Wen on this matter. He was more worried about what other big demands the other party would make next.

Capone Becky stared at Xie Wen, his eyes sinister and fierce.

Xie Wen looked back at Becky calmly, his eyes clear and...simple.

"..."

"..."

"...What else?" The two looked at each other for a while, and Becky, who was waiting for Xie Wen to continue to raise conditions, couldn't help but speak first.

He couldn't do it without speaking first. His injuries were still waiting to be healed.

"...What else?" Xie Wen looked innocent.

"..."

"..."

"So, you just want a boat and a knife?!" Becky almost spit out another mouthful of blood.

Was he seriously injured by this kid just for such a trivial matter? !

"That's right!" After being reminded, Xie Wen slammed his palms and suddenly realized: "You are rich people! Then add...50 million Baileys."

"Pfft!" Capone Becky was really vomiting blood now, and even wanted to slap himself twice... Why are you talking so much when you have nothing to do?

But in the end he agreed with a sullen face: "I understand, when the knife is delivered, I will send someone to deliver the knife and money to you."

After saying that, Becky and her men fled the hall in a panic but quickly, for fear that Xie Wen would say something that would stimulate his blood pressure.

"Tsk...did I offer too little?" Seeing that Capone Becky chose to run away after agreeing without hesitation, Xie Wen patted his forehead with some annoyance.

In fact, at first he wanted to offer 350 million Baileys, but he was worried that if he pushed too hard, Becky would choose to break up, so in the end he just offered 50 million Baileys as a test, but he didn't Thinking about it, the other party agreed without even frowning...

Okay, I still have a frown on my face, but that's mostly because of the pain and has nothing to do with the compensation.

There is no way. The biggest amount of money that Xie Wen had access to before time travel was the down payment when buying a house. Moreover, the prices of goods in this world have only been in the past few days. He has not yet gotten used to the rampage in the pirate world. There is no concept of driving prices higher.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like the "emperor's golden pole". Xie Wen's consumption habits limit his ability to speak widely.

However, Xie Wen quickly put aside his annoyance. Anyway, he already had the boat and knife that he needed most at the moment. He could still find ways to make money in the future. After all, his golden finger was not a krypton gold system. Bailey is just one of the indirect means for him to obtain the summoning ticket, and its importance is not that high.

The key is……

"Brother Xie Wen is so awesome, meow!" Keli meow jumped onto his shoulder, hugged his head and started licking him.

"So, we're going to have our own boat, meow?" Even Sanji meow excitedly climbed onto Xie Wen's other shoulder and gently tapped his cheek with her little paws.

In front of Maomao, any Bailey sword must stand aside!

Cody and Bacchus also stepped forward at this time. Although they already had a certain understanding of Xie Wen's strength, the battle just now still shocked them.

"I didn't expect Xie Wen that you are so strong." Bacchus was somewhat discouraged, feeling that all his years of swordsmanship training were in vain.

After Cody looked at Xie Wen in surprise, he finally said, "Are you interested in joining the Navy? I can recommend you to go to the Navy Headquarters for further training."

"No, I still have to look for their clansmen. The navy is not suitable for me." Xie Wen refused again with the same excuse.

"If you join the Navy, you can use official intelligence channels to help search for them. Isn't this more convenient than searching for them on your own?" Cody continued to persuade without giving up: "And after you come out of the training camp, you can do it. Choose to join the special forces with more freedom.”

If the El cats are really scattered all over the pirate world, then Cody's suggestion is actually the best solution, but the problem is... those cats were actually summoned by Xie Wen, so we borrowed the navy's intelligence The method is meaningless.

As for joining a special force with a higher degree of freedom... no matter how high the degree of freedom, you still have to obey the instructions from above, even if you join SWORD, which has the highest degree of autonomy.

So Xie Wen shook his head, then pointed at the two cats on his shoulders and refused again: "No, neither I nor they like to be restrained."

"That's right, meow! Keli likes adventure the most, meow! ...and bombs!"

"No need to add the next sentence..." Xie Wen pinched her little face helplessly.

"Adventure?" Cody's eyes narrowed, "Are you also planning to become a pirate?"

"Keli doesn't want to be a bad guy, meow!" Before Xie Wen could explain, the little puppet on his shoulders retorted angrily: "Kelly will only blow up all the bad guys, meow!"

Xie Wen shrugged, "I have no interest in being a pirate at all. If I really wanted to be a pirate, I wouldn't agree to be your bodyguard, but would just start robbing you."

These words were still very convincing. What was even more convincing was that Cody knew how much Xie Wen usually doted on Kelimiao, so he breathed a sigh of relief and did not try to persuade him again, but he still asked curiously: "Then what are you going to do in the future? Fifty million Baileys sounds like a lot, but in fact it's not very easy to spend, especially when you have to look for people everywhere."

Xie Wen has actually considered this issue. Although he plans to form an investigation team, there is no meeting place for him to make money here, so naturally he has to find other ways to make money.

But fortunately, there are many ways to make money in the world of pirates. If you can't be a monster hunter, you can definitely be a bounty hunter.

"In addition to bounty hunting, hunting sea beasts and sea kings, running a business, and opening a mobile restaurant on the sea are all good options. I can even write some short stories for newspapers, and Keli really likes to listen to me. Telling stories.”

"That's right, meow! The stories told by brother Xie Wen are so interesting! The food cooked by brother Sanji is also super delicious!" Kelimiao cheered as always, and then added: "Kelly can also fry fish and sell it. Meow!"

Uh... forget about the last one...

Xie Wen turned his head and glanced at the excited Kelimiao, but in the end he didn't say anything to dampen the little puppet's enthusiasm.

Originally there was a scene where Gordy rescued the driver, but you said it was too slow and deleted it...

I'm already revising and saving the manuscript, but there's really no time to revise these recent chapters, so this is the only way.

Letting Becky go has been planned a long time ago. Some readers may think that this is a bit merciful, but the protagonist has no experience of bitterness and hatred. A person who came from the peaceful era will not change so quickly.

And if I kill Becky, will the rest of the plot need to be revised accordingly? Some of the previous foreshadowing that can no longer be changed will be scrapped.
