I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Boom!"

Seagull dropped the package at Xie Wen's feet, making a heavy impact, and then fell on the back of the chair next to him, sticking out his tongue in a very humane manner, and gasping for air.

"Oh, it looks like the items promised by Lieutenant General Garp have arrived."

Xie Wen picked up the package on the ground and took out two paper rolls, a small box and a large gray stone.

There was nothing much to say about the two maps. Xie Wen glanced at them casually and put them aside. The record pointer in the box was given directly to Hua Mei Miao for storage. Finally, he held the piece of sea tower stone and handed it to Luffy. …

"Here, let's touch it and try it."

"what?"

Luffy didn't know why, but he still stretched out his hand obediently and put it on the sea tower stone.

"Ah...my body..."

In an instant, Luffy's body went limp like noodles, but he quickly recovered as he fell to the ground and his hands left the sea floor stone.

"What's going on? My body just couldn't work hard at all!"

Luffy jumped up from the ground and looked at the inconspicuous stone in Xie Wen's hand in surprise.

Xie Wen put the sea floor stone on the table aside, reached out and took Keli Miao, who was full of curiosity and wanted to touch it, into his arms, and then explained: "This thing is called sea floor stone." , is an ore that has the properties of seawater. If a Devil Fruit user touches it, it will be as if he fell into seawater, and he will be completely unable to use any strength."

Then he continued: "However, it is somewhat different from sea water, because after a certain amount of training, ability users can adapt to the sea floor stone to a certain extent. Although they are still unable to use their abilities, they can still freely use it. Action, one of the reasons why I asked Lieutenant General Garp for this stone is so that Keli can overcome this weakness."

With that said, Xie Wen placed Kelimiao on the sea tower stone. The little puppet, who had not yet figured out the situation, instantly lost his strength and lay limply on it.

"Ah~ Brother Xie Wen, Keli can't use any strength anymore, I feel so uncomfortable..."

_(`　∠)_

At this time, Kelimiao's limbs, tail and head were all drooping limply, and her little tongue covered with barbs protruded from her mouth, just like those cats that had been anesthetized.

Xie Wen quickly hugged her back. The training should be done step by step. Let the little puppet experience it first today.

After Kelimiao was brought back, she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with Xie Wen. She slithered onto Xie Wen's shoulder, then gnawed at Xie Wen's ears, and kept using cat fists. Patting Xie Wen's head.

Although the little puppet's attacks were ineffective, Xie Wen still cooperated and repeatedly begged for mercy, and then he calmed down Kelimiao.

Luffy, on the other hand, was staring at the sea stone on the table, crossing his arms and thinking: "Should I also ask Grandpa for a stone like this to train with?"

"Gah!"

At this moment, the seagull resting on the chair nearby suddenly screamed and pecked Xie Wen twice with its beak.

Xie Wen looked at the other party's wings spread out towards him, and after a moment of silence he asked: "...Lieutenant General Garp didn't pay the freight, right?"

Then he saw the seagull nod firmly: "Gah!"

"That stingy old man!" Xie Wen paid the shipping fee in a dumbfounded voice, and then called out to the seagull that was about to fly away, "Do you have the latest newspaper with you? Give me one."

Yes, these messenger gulls responsible for delivering express delivery are actually the news birds under Morgans. Therefore, Morgans is not only a media industry giant, but also in charge of the postal system of the entire pirate world.

Newsbird rummaged in the leather bag on his chest for a while, took out a newspaper and handed it to Xie Wen...

Then he used his press card to waive the bill.

After watching the scolding news bird leave, Xie Wen opened the newspaper in his hand and looked at the huge bold headline on the front page. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "Oh! This is really big news. …”

The front page of the newspaper took up nearly one-third of the space, and only wrote one headline - "The Red-Haired Pirates and the Beast Pirates are fighting, no winner or loser!" The four most powerful sea emperors in the new world are born! 》

Unexpectedly, the Yonko was called out by Morgans at this time...

Xie Wen looked at the above article again, and found that there were not many details. However, there was a picture of Shanks and Kaido confronting each other. From the strange angle that almost looked up to the sky, it should be the reporter being bullied. I pressed the shutter before I was stunned by the color.

In addition, there are four reward notices included in this newspaper... except for the Yonko, it cannot be anyone else.

Xie Wen couldn't remember how much the bounties of these four people were in the comics. Anyway, their bounties are now more than 4 billion, and it is estimated that even if they want to increase in the future, they will not increase much.

"If you plan to become the Pirate King, then these four people are the targets you must face."

Xie Wen placed the newspaper and four bounty orders in front of Luffy and Ace.

"Eh? Shanks?!" Unlike Ace who had been staring at Whitebeard, the first thing Luffy noticed was of course his old acquaintance. He pointed at the red-haired bounty ticket and exclaimed: "It turns out Shank Is Si so powerful?!"

After all, in Luffy's memory, the other party was a guy who was still laughing after being hit on the head with a bottle. He really couldn't connect Shanks with the identity of "the four closest to the Pirate King".

"Oh? You actually know him?" Xie Wenming asked knowingly: "This man is not simple. In just a few years, he has gone from an ordinary pirate to a being who can compete with veteran strongmen like Whitebeard. But in addition, There are rumors that he was once a member of Roger the Pirate King's crew."

"Hahaha! So Shanks was once a crew member of the Pirate King? He is indeed very powerful!" Luffy didn't care about that, but said with a grin: "Shanks is my savior, this hat He also gave me the straw hat."

Then his expression suddenly changed: "No! If I want to become the Pirate King, don't I have to fight Shanks?!"

"You idiot, it's more practical to think about how to defeat Ace first, meow." Sanji meow rolled his eyes wildly and said: "With your current strength, if you go to sea now, you will be offered a bounty of about 10 million, and at most it won't be much." There will be more than 20 million cats."

After being a bounty hunter for so long, Sanji Miao's "valuation" is still very accurate.

But instead of being hit by him, Luffy rushed out with great energy: "You are right! I want to become stronger! Become stronger!"

Looking at Luffy's retreating figure, Sanji scratched his head in confusion: "Xie Wen, did that idiot forget that he will have lunch soon? Then I don't need to prepare his portion?" "

"Don't worry, he will be back soon," Xie Wen patted Sanji's head, "Luffy's obsession with eating is no different from your obsession with Elu Cat."

"Don't compare me to that idiot, meow!"

The angry little yellow cat grabbed Xie Wen's hand and gave it a smack.
