I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Those idiots!"

Rainy land, rainy feast.

Crocodile Crocodile kicked over the table in front of him angrily.

He just received a call from Miss. Two Fingers and learned about what happened in the Spider Cafe not long ago...

Didn’t they all tell them not to mess with that Blue Star? ! Others obviously didn't intend to pay attention to them, but they stupidly took the initiative to send it to them! And the person taking the lead is Mr.1...

Crocodile felt like he was holding a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Originally, among all the subordinates in the Baroque Working Company, the only one he really liked was Daz Danis. He was strong, obedient, simple in character, and had no hobbies. Among the monsters and monsters in the Baroque Working Company, he , Mr.1 is definitely the most promising member of Crocodile.

In the end, who would have thought that such a subordinate who was the most "useful" in his eyes would actually be dissatisfied with Xie Wen...

Then there is no more then.

As for Mr. 5, whose hand was killed by the way, Crocodile didn't care at all. In his eyes, subordinates of Mr. 5's level could be easily recruited again, and they would be dead if they died.

But the situation when Mr.5 was knocked down made Sand Crocodile very concerned...

"Are you looking like a king? Humph!"

Crocodile, who does not have "king qualifications", is very jealous of Xie Wen.

Well, he completely misunderstood who the owner of Overlord Color was.

But the overlord color is not the most important thing. Now for Sand Crocodile, the most critical issue is...

Did Xie Wen realize the existence of Baroque Working Society?

After calming down, Crocodile recalled what Miss. Zou Zhi had just reported and found that things seemed not as bad as he thought.

First of all, Xie Wen and the others had no intention of causing trouble at the beginning. Even if he hadn't found out that Darz Danis had a bounty on his head, he wouldn't have been interested in paying attention to Mr. 1's provocation, and it's unlikely that he knew about the Spider Cafe. It is the stronghold of Baroque Working Group, so we can basically rule out the possibility that Xie Wen is deliberately looking for trouble.

Secondly, Xie Wen should have noticed to some extent that some of the people present at the time were in the same group, or knew each other, but Xie Wen did not kill them all, probably because he did not bother to argue with them. This is quite consistent with Crocodile's view of a certain person. The cognition of some powerful people. Of course, he himself has always scorned this kind of behavior.

Finally, since his plan just recently completed the first phase, most of the cadres of Baroque Working Society are idle, and it is basically impossible for Xie Wen to target them because of the organization's activities.

and so……

"Is it just a coincidence?"

Crocodile bit the cigar in his mouth into two pieces.

If I had known this would happen, I might as well have continued to let Mr.1 and the others roam outside!

Now he has to recruit new members again. Cannon fodder like Mr. 5 can be easily replaced, but high-quality subordinates like Mr. 1 are not so easy to recruit, especially in Shasha. When Crocodile has to hide his identity, it will be even more difficult to recruit reliable subordinates.

"Damn idiot! Damn Blue Star!"

Crocodile couldn't help but vent his anger a few more times, and he even began to consider whether to personally recruit a few more "confidant men" like Nico Robin.

Of course, before that, he had to deal with and wait and see Xie Wen and his party who would be coming to Yudi soon.

Although there is a high probability that the other party is not targeting him, Crocodile, who is cautious, still plans to take the opportunity to test it again. After all, judging from the results of Xie Wen's action, it seems to be a bit aimed at Baroque Working Group.

It's such a perfect coincidence that there's something wrong with it.

Crocodile is a smart man, and smart people always think more.

and so……

He picked up the unfortunate phone bug that he had kicked to the ground along with the table, and made a call.

"Immediately send someone to keep an eye on the Blue Star group, and report the situation to me every day!"

……

"Brother Xie Wen~"

(=w=)

Keli, who had just run wildly in the desert, jumped up to Xie Wen, hugged his thigh, raised her little head and looked at him unblinkingly with starry eyes.

"There are no people or other creatures around here, it's very empty, meow!"

The subtext of Muppets is already obvious, but...

"This question doesn't count for me to say it."

Xie Wen touched her little head, and then nuzzled at Huamei Miao on the side.

Keli Miao's little face froze slightly, and she did not look in the direction of Xie Wen's mouth, but continued to stare at Xie Wen with pitiful eyes.

"Ahem..." Xie Wen, who was instantly defeated, cleared his throat, took out the hunter's manual, turned to the map page, pointed to their current location, and discussed with Master Xiang Feihu: "Hua Mei You see, this place is indeed far away from the city, so why don’t you let Kelimiao give it a try?”

"Admiral, just pamper her!"

Huamei Miao glared at Xie Wen angrily, then turned to look at Keli Miao who was hiding behind Xie Wen's legs and carefully revealed half of her face to look at her...

|wΦ=)

"So you said you felt there was a treasure in this direction, and you just wanted to find a place to drop a bomb on Meow?"

"It's not Meow!" The little puppet quickly defended with its little paws: "Keli really felt the smell of treasure in this direction, and she didn't lie, Meow!"

Huamei Miao did not continue to speak, but just held her hands and looked at Kelimiao calmly. After seeing that she did not show any guilt, she nodded and said: "Okay, in this case, I can let you relax. For a moment, but even in the desert, remember to pay attention to your surroundings and be careful not to involve any unlucky guy, meow."

"Sister Huamei, don't worry! Keli is sensible, meow!"

The little puppet patted her chest and said words that no one believed except herself.

Then, she jumped up in front of Haiyuan Meow and said, "Sister Xiao Ai, do you want to go blow up the sand with Keli and play Meow?"

(`w≡`w)

The little cat shook his head wildly, took out a bunch of instruments from his bag, and said seriously: "I just got some inspiration and plan to do some experiments."

The little puppet nodded in approval: "Kelly also likes to run to do experiments as soon as she gets inspiration, cat."

Xie Wen looked at the exchange between these two dangerous kittens with a toothache on his face, and couldn't help but remind him: "Keli, if you want to drop the bomb, you better hurry up, we have to continue on our way. "

"Oh! Keli, go and meow now!"

The little puppet quickly spread its legs and ran towards the sand dunes in the distance.

Soon after, bursts of explosions were heard from time to time in the direction where Keli Miao was going, and the sky over there was gradually filled with a hazy yellow, as if a sandstorm had set off in that direction.

After a while, the explosion gradually stopped, and then Kelimiao, covered with yellow sand all over his body, ran back from a distance with satisfaction and jumping.

"Brother Xie Wen~"

Keli Meow swooped into Xie Wen's arms, and then transferred more than half of the sand on her body to him...

"Ouch! Keli didn't mean to do it, meow~"

(=＞＜=)

After waiting for a while to realize the problem, the little puppet stuck out his tongue. After using elementalization to shake off the remaining sand on his body, he quickly took out an old treasure box and gave it to Xie Wen.

"This was just blasted out of the desert by Keli. It feels like a good thing, meow!"

Xie Wen couldn't help but patted the sand stained by this naughty little naughty, and then opened the treasure box under the curious eyes of other cats. Inside were three palm-sized bottles that were very Alabasta-style. .

Since the stuffing in the box was very full, even if it was affected by Kelimiao's bomb, the bottles inside were not damaged at all, and even their positions did not change, lying in their respective grooves.

"It seems to be some kind of liquid."

Xie Wen picked up one of the bottles and shook it, and there was the sound of liquid flowing inside.

Haibara Miao also came over and took a bottle, pulled out the cork and put it in front of her nose to smell...

"It should be some kind of medicine, but I don't know if it has gone bad."

"Since it's a potion, let me leave it to you, Xiao Ai," Xie Wen said.

Naturally, Haibara Miao would not refuse. It happened that her research on bloodline factors had temporarily stalled due to the equipment on the ship. It was of course best to have a new gadget to pass the time.

"Brother Xie Wen," the little puppet tugged at his trouser leg again and pointed in another direction and said, "Keli felt it again. There seems to be good things in that direction, too."

……

"A bunch of trash! You can't even keep an eye on one person!"

It’s still rainy land, it’s still rainy feast.

Sand Crocodile once again kicked over the table in front of him angrily. He was about to be blown away by his useless men.

Although in the report of their subordinates, they were unable to keep an eye on the Blue Star group because their actions were irregular and seemed to carry a large amount of fresh water, which did not need to be replenished at all. Moreover, the most troublesome thing was that while tracking, Halfway through, we encountered a sky full of yellow sand blocking our line of sight, and even two of the tracking members lost their way...

"What a bunch of trash!"

The sand crocodile became more and more angry as he thought about it, and kicked the overturned table again. The unfortunate table finally couldn't stand Crocodile's anger and went on strike.

"Even you are a waste!"

The sand crocodile became even more angry now. He raised his feet and stamped wildly on the remains of the table. After venting his anger, he trampled the innocent table that he had kicked in half into a pile of splinters, and then he gradually calmed down. down.

However, he calmed down, but the uneasiness in Crocodile's heart became heavier...

If the behavior of Xie Wen and his gang was just because they discovered the members they were following, that would be fine, but if the other party was deliberately hiding their whereabouts, then something would really go wrong!

And judging from the fact that the other party had killed Mr. 1 and Mr. 5 mercilessly before, the possibility of discovering the stalking members and just getting away was too low.

So Crocodile gritted his teeth, picked up the phone again and gave instructions to Baroque Works——

"Let the unlucky duo stop all the work they are doing and take the responsibility of finding and keeping an eye on the Blue Star gang!"
