I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

That's indeed the case...

After Ace defeated the Shichibukai who did not appear in the original work, he was also recruited by the World Government, but he refused, so it seems normal to find him now?

But the problem is...

"I'm not a pirate, and I don't plan to become one, let alone establish any kind of power. It's completely useless to ask for a privateering permit."

Xie Wen curled his lips, not interested in this invitation. Not to mention that the Shichibukai is a high-level cannon fodder or consumable for the World Government to deal with the Four Emperors. According to the original plot direction, after that This so-called Shichibukai will be banned in a few years, and occupying the title of Shichibukai for a few years has no meaning at all to Xie Wen.

"Hawkeye is not a pirate, and he doesn't have as many fur cats around him like you, but he has also become a Shichibukai." Cody gave an example.

"But he was wanted before he became a Shichibukai?" There’s nothing wrong with becoming a Shichibukai.”

"Of course we have considered this," Cody poured a cup of black tea for Xie Wen and explained slowly: "So the decision above is to give you a certain degree of immunity, just like the one you killed in the South China Sea. King Beckley, if something similar happens in the future, as long as it is not too egregious, we will cover it up for you. In fact, if Crocodile's problem was not exposed in advance by you and Morgans this time, we would also try our best to cover it up. The ground suppressed the news."

"Beckley? Wasn't that guy killed by some Claude?" Xie Wen decisively pretended to be stupid.

"Haha..." Cody took a leisurely sip of black tea, raised his eyelids and gave Xie Wen a meaningful smile, and said, "Although you hide it very well, in front of me, a CP agent who is a full-time intelligence agent, It’s still a little too tender.”

Xie Wen raised his eyebrows. There was something in Uncle Cody's words. Did he actually know that Robin was here?

Because he was not sure what the other party meant, Xie Wen could only choose to remain silent.

"Although you disguised yourself well before, after knowing the fruit ability of the little girl named Bonnie, it is not difficult to deduce the true identity of 'Claude'." Cody saw that Xie Wen didn't answer. , directly broke his luck, "If we really want to pursue the case, those old guys in Sobel Kingdom will not be able to withstand CP's questioning."

But he soon changed the subject, "Of course, we won't do that. King Beckley is just a former king who has been in exile for many years. The World Government will not overturn the previous conclusion because of his affairs. He has The Celestial Dragon that you were trying to please had already forgotten all about him, so even if you don’t agree to become a Shichibukai, you don’t have to worry that we will hold you and the people of Solbei Kingdom accountable.”

Xie Wen, who was still a little nervous at first, breathed a sigh of relief. Cody had said this, so there was no need for him to continue denying it, so he asked: "Since the world government doesn't intend to pursue this matter. Damn it, then don’t I have no reason to become a Shichibukai?"

Cody sighed, and then continued to persuade slowly: "But, are you sure that you will not encounter a similar situation again in the future? And Xiao Keli and the other cat fur tribe, But it's easy to be targeted by nobles who like to collect rare objects and special races. But if you become a Shichibukai, as long as you don't make too much noise, or directly attack the Celestial Dragons, the world government won't care too much. .”

"The conditions are so favorable?" Xie Wen frowned. He didn't believe that the people in the World Government were so kind. "Then what do I need to do?"

"In most cases, the world government does not actually have special requirements for you. Just look at Crocodile. Even if he formed a criminal organization like the Baroque Working Society, we did not interfere. There are many more Tenyaksha Flamingo, he is actually Joker, a famous broker in the underground world. He has secretly done a lot of illegal things, but because he has not yet touched the bottom line of the World Government, we have always allowed him to do whatever he wants."

When Cody said this, he showed a slightly unhappy look, obviously he didn't really think so.

Then, he continued to explain: "The original intention of establishing the Shichibukai under the King was to fight against the four emperors and the increasing number of pirates. However, most of the other Shichibukai were originally pirates, so even if they have this status, most of them Under the circumstances, we will not deliberately target other pirates. Hawkeye Mihawk and Kaixia Jinbe even have contacts with the Four Emperors in private, but we still do not interfere with them... Of course, this is also because of their strength. Keep us from interfering.”

It seems that CP doesn’t know about Tenyaksha and Kaido’s private deal yet… No, the SMILE fruit is still in the research and development stage at this time, so their deal probably hasn’t started yet.

However, given Tenyasha's control over Dressrosa, even if the subsequent CPs were discovered, they would be turned into toys quietly by Sugar.

While Xie Wen was deep in thought, Cody curled his lips and continued: "However, your situation is different. First of all, you are a bounty hunter, and you rarely show mercy when dealing with pirates. You are born to be antagonistic. In addition, you have already had a conflict with Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, and even Snake Princess and Tenyasha from other Shichibukai also have a little friction with you..."

Having said this, he lightly knocked on the table, "Did you find out? In addition to not having the idea of ​​grabbing territory in the new world, your situation is actually the Shichibukai that best meets the needs of the world government, so even if you are a little bit If you do something outrageous, the World Government will not care too much. If you really have a conflict with a certain Yonko, even if you secretly kill a few navy, CP or even the royal family, the World Government will still turn a blind eye. If you close your eyes, you may even take the initiative to clean up the mess for you..."

"Of course, whether they will use this to blackmail you in the future is another matter." Uncle Cody added.

To be honest, Xie Wen was a little moved, especially after Cody added that sentence, he felt that this condition became more reliable.

If it is true as Cody promised, he will not need to be too secretive when he goes to trouble Wapol in the future, and he will not need to be as timid in doing things in the future...

But all of this has to be based on the premise that there is no Nicole Robin in the investigation team.

However, as if Cody knew what Xie Wen was thinking, he spoke again: "If you are worried about Nicole Robin, don't worry, she was also with you... No, it should be said that everyone Within the 'welfare' of the Shichibukai."

"!!!"

Xie Wen really couldn't stand it anymore. Uncle Cody really knew that Robin had joined the investigation team.

"Do you think that if the world government really wanted to catch an eight-year-old girl who didn't have any domineering power and just ate a flowery fruit, do you think it would be impossible to catch it for nearly twenty years?" Cody saw Xie Wen that With a shocked look on his face, he shook his head helplessly, "Besides... Otilia is the pseudonym that Nico Robin used when she was in Xihai. You just used it without changing it, and you thought I would find out." No...are you looking down on me a little too much?"

Yes! Uncle Cody was going for Robin in the first place, so he could naturally find out her pseudonym.

Xie Wen suddenly realized, and then the doubts in his heart became more and more. In this case, why did the World Government let Nico Robin escape for so many years? And why would she be allowed to join Crocodile and his team?

Uncle Cody made it so clear that Xie Wen asked his doubts directly.

"Because what can she do as a little girl? The World Government didn't pay much attention to her existence at all, so it just issued a wanted order. Except for that idiot Spangdyne, there were no important CP members involved. Pursuit..." Cody said and couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't expect that this little girl's ability and luck were quite good, and she was able to avoid these pursuits, but even so, the higher-ups didn't pay special attention until Someone suddenly came up with a plan..."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "That is to let Nico Robin enter the Grand Line, and then let the pirates who want to find the great secret treasure fight for her, and I... ..." Cody pointed to his nose, "He is the person responsible for 'driving' her to the Grand Line."

"So do you understand?" Cody picked up the teapot and filled the empty cup in front of Xie Wen. "I deliberately put Nicole Robin on your boat to let her escape. Originally, I I thought that after she separated from you, there would be no more interactions between you, but I didn’t expect that you would meet again in Alabasta, and this time you would accept her... This is probably a kind of fate. …”

Cody sighed helplessly, then his expression became serious again, and he said to Xie Wen seriously: "The words before were said by CP7 agent Cody when he recruited Blue Star Xie Wen, and the following words The words are the advice given by "good old man" Cody to the boy Xie Wen..."
