I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Xie Wen and the two cats moved very quickly and plundered all the gangsters in a matter of seconds.

but……

What a bunch of poor people!

Probably because they were used to being domineering in the town, these guys didn't even have much money on them. Xie Wen searched around and found that there was only a little more than 70,000 beli...

I can’t even afford a better knife! When Sauron bought two rotten knives in Rogge Town, they cost 100,000 beli!

Well, although Xie Wen already has a fresh sword, Bai Nagi, and it is quite easy to use, but...

Fighting someone with a handful of salted fish is a bit... right.

So he was still thinking about getting a more normal knife, but in the end, these gangsters really failed to live up to expectations!

While Xie Wen was disgusted, he picked two pirate scimitars that were quite pleasing to the eye from the hands of the gang members and inserted them into his waist... The weapons here in the West Sea seemed to be more European, and he couldn't find any suitable ones. Nodachi, you can use both swords as a scrubber.

But the first question now is... these gangsters are so poor, what should we do about the town's compensation issue?

Xie Wen looked at the black suits here.

How about... let these gangs spend money to redeem people?

However, Xie Wen really has no confidence in the loyalty and integrity of the gang organization.

"Brother Xie Wen, did Keli get into trouble again?" the little puppet asked pitifully, raising his little face.

"How is it possible?!" Unlike Captain Qin, Xie Wen is quite indulgent towards Keli Miao, "These are big bad guys who want to do all kinds of evil, Keli is doing harm to the people! Well... it's just a means It's a little too extreme. If this happens again in the future, don't use so many bombs."

Out of consideration for his wallet, Xie Wen gave Keli Miao a few words at the end.

"Actually...Keli also knows, but she was just too excited and accidentally threw too much, meow...hehehehe..."

Kelimiao touched the back of her head and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

What can Xie Wen say about this? He could only touch Kelimiao's cat head, "No, it's okay... Just pay attention next time."

Sanji, a little bastard, was actually making sarcastic comments from the sidelines: "Sister Keli is so awesome, nya! If Xie Wen were allowed to go up, he would have to kill so many people for a long time, but you solved them all at once, even if it's a little bit... Even small mistakes are excusable, meow.”

"Ahem... I didn't expect that Mr. Cody and I underestimated you."

After recovering from the shock, Uncle Bacchus picked up the dropped Western sword, came to Xie Wen's side, and frequently cast surprised and wary glances at Kelimiao and the small schoolbag behind her.

"I still want to thank you and Mr. Cody for your kindness." Xie Wen thanked him first, then pointed at the group of gangsters and asked: "Do these guys have bounties? Where is the nearest naval base?"

Now Xie Wen just wants to make money.

However, Bacchus shook his head and replied: "They are all minions, they don't have bounties, and the Navy basically doesn't care about the gangs."

"But you don't have to worry, the residents here won't ask you to compensate." Bacchus obviously guessed what Xie Wen was worried about, and continued to explain to him.

The gangs in the West Sea are actually very similar to the big pirates who have occupied the territory in the New World. Although they also exploit the civilians on the territory, they also provide them with protection, and they will even fight against the pirates who come to plunder.

And for civilians like this who are affected by the gang war, the gang in charge of this area will also provide certain assistance... Of course, it is just the kind of assistance that barely allows the victim to survive, plus other civilians in the town A helping hand, so even if Xie Wen cannot afford the compensation, there is no problem.

This is also the reason why the navy in the West Sea doesn't pay much attention to the gangs. Compared to the pirates who are more likely to cause chaos, the existence of the gangs, to a certain extent, helps them stabilize the situation.

What a deformed society...

Xie Wen sighed helplessly.

However, considering that there are also some countries on the earth where gangs are legalized, and that this is a pirate world that is much more chaotic than the earth, it is not unusual to form such a social form. Even for places where there are no gangs, there is no certain Protected by force, their situation may be even worse.

For a moment, Xie Wen even had the urge to join the revolutionary army... and then he quickly suppressed him.

This kind of thing cannot be decided based on a momentary impulse, and his situation is not suitable for deeply participating in the activities of the revolutionary army.

However, Xie Wen still plans to provide certain compensation to the affected civilians.

If it was just to take care of Kelimao's mood and childhood education before, and his basic morals did not allow him to run away directly, then now Xie Wen sincerely wants to compensate them for their losses...

As for the amount of compensation...well...70,000 Beliga to help with reconstruction, that's almost the limit that Xie Wen can bear.

He is not a holy mother, and the compensation within his ability is enough to show that he has lived up to the education he received before traveling.

However, Xie Wen's idea failed to come true in the end...

Because after Mr. Cody came to know his thoughts, he took over the compensation matter with a wave of his hand.

Xie Wen certainly did not intend to refuse such a good thing, and the other party also made a corresponding request - to protect Cody's fleet to participate in a trade fair.

Xie Wen agreed after thinking for a moment.

Of course, he actually understands that Mr. Cody will "hire" him, and more importantly, he wants to help him compensate. After all, Keli Meow is just throwing bombs, and no one will hire a big bomb as a bodyguard for him. .

But Xie Wen knew that he had this strength. Anyway, Cody, a good old man, was very kind to him. Regardless of whether he really needed his help, it was not a big deal to take some time to escort him.

In addition, Xie Wen originally wanted to collect as much intelligence as possible. An event like the trade fair sounds like a good place to collect intelligence... Maybe you can buy a good knife at this fair and unlock the weapons in the manual. page.

After making a simple agreement with Cody about the security work, Xie Wen carried the "huge sum" of 70,000 beli and continued to wander around the town with his two cats.

Although I can't buy weapons, it should be enough to buy some gadgets for the cats, a chart of the West Sea and a few newspapers from the past.

The requirements of the two Elu cats were not high. Kelly wanted some snacks and special toys made of colored paper weights, while Sanji wanted to add some seasonings.

My cats are so sensible!

With such a touch, Xie Wen saw that the money in his hand had not been spent much, so he took the two cats to the clothing store in the town and bought two sets of new clothes for them and himself...

Although the clothes that Elle Cat comes with are very sturdy, and Sanji's chef's clothes are not damaged at all, Xie Wen still decided to buy more clothes for the cats to change into.

That is to say, Cody's ship will leave tomorrow, otherwise Xie Wen would have made custom clothes for them. After all, there are still some places where human children's clothes are not suitable for Ellu cats.

After spending the 70,000 Baileys they had just "earned" for a short period of time, Xie Wen and his party finally came to the tavern in Caizhi Town and used the remaining money to buy a map of the West Sea and several copies from the boss. Newspapers from the past...

Xie Wen didn't understand why the tavern owner was selling these things. Anyway, it was Uncle Bacchus who pointed him here.

Thinking about it carefully, although Xie Wen is not clear about the map, the situation of selling newspapers in the tavern seems to have appeared in the comics.

Probably because there is no newsstand business in the Pirate World.

With such a guess, Xie Wen first opened the map of the West Sea, and at the same time took out the hunter's manual to see if he could use an ordinary map to advance the exploration of the dynamic map.

As a result, he was dumbfounded as soon as he opened the map...

Can this thing be called a map? !
