I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After getting to know the members of the second team, Ace began to take Xie Wen to meet the captains of each team.

Anyway, there was nothing else to do now, so Xie Wen just followed the host's wishes. These captains also showed their goodwill, and it seemed that no one cared about the sand crocodile's matter...

This made Xie Wen even more curious about the specific situation between Crocodile and Whitebeard.

However, Crocodile has died, and Whitebeard is unlikely to help him solve the mystery, so if Xie Wen really wants to know, he has to find a way to travel back to Earth to watch the finale of One Piece.

I have to say, Whitebeard has a lot of sons, there are more than a dozen captains alone...

Xie Wen still had some impressions of characters like "Phoenix" Marco, "Diamond" Joz, and "Flower Sword" Vista, who had performed well in the Battle of Marineford. As for the rest, he was completely clueless...

Well, it’s not quite accurate to say that he was completely in the dark. After all, as captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, these people were already quite famous in the pirate world, so Xie Wen had seen their names in newspapers more or less.

But that’s about it.

Until he was brought to a man who was wearing a pink kimono, lipstick, dressed like a feminine person, and had an "idol-like" appearance... Well, you couldn't tell at all that he was a man in his forties.

"He is Izo, the captain of the 16th Division, and he comes from a place called Wano Country."

Ace introduced enthusiastically.

"Why is it Wano Country again?" Huiyuan, who was squatting on Xie Wen's shoulder, couldn't help but mutter, "By the way, Xie Wen, you said that idiot named Oden knew Whitebeard. Could this guy also be related to that Oden? Really, why can't I get rid of this guy no matter where I go?"

(In)

The little kitten didn't lower her voice, so Ace, Izo, and Marco who joined in the middle all heard her complaints.

"Eh? Do you also know Wano Country and Kozuki Oden?"

Ai suddenly became excited. He had always wanted to fulfill his promise with Xiaoyu and rescue Wano Country from Kaido. However, Whitebeard did not agree to his request due to concerns about casualties. However, he, Marco and Izou never gave up this idea.

So after hearing that Xie Wen also knew about Wano Country and Kozuki Oden, Ace wanted to pull him in, just like Inuarashi, and even ignored the disgust in Haibara Meow's tone and the evaluation of Oden as a "fool"...

After all, he had been called an idiot by Sanji many times, so his reaction on this point was a little slow.

However, as a retainer of Kozuki Oden and a serious patient of the "Oden virus", Izo would naturally not ignore this disrespectful name for Oden, so his originally gentle face instantly became stern.

But considering that Haibara-nyan was a guest of the pirate group and was not very old, Izo suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "Lord Oden is my proud lord, and I will not tolerate such slander! If you can't explain it, then please forgive me for being rude!"

Ace also reacted at this time, he quickly tried to smooth things over, "Izo, don't be angry, I am often called an idiot by Sanji, but actually our relationship is still very good."

Then he turned to look at Xie Wen, "Since you all know Oden, you should also know that he is a very remarkable person, right?"

Then Ace saw that Xie Wen and the others all had expressions of disgust on their faces, even Shirahoshi and Meowx who followed later were no exception.

"Um... do you have any misunderstandings about Oden?" Marco calmed down the excited Izou and asked, "Oden was once the captain of our pirate group's second division. I am very familiar with him. Although his personality is a little strange, he is a good guy."

"There's no misunderstanding," Meowx, who was squatting on top of Shirahoshi's head, sneered and replied, "We went to Zou not long ago. There was a big cat and a big dog there who kept calling each other Oden taller than Oden. We even had two fights with them because of this, meow."

Even Shirahoshi chimed in, "I don't think that Kozuki Oden is a qualified monarch. He is the one who is primarily responsible for the fall of Wano Country!"

To be honest, Ace and Marco were not very clear about what happened in Wano Country. Although Ace had been to Wano Country, the source of the information he got was Yamato, a die-hard fan of Oden who picked up the diary Horcrux.

Moreover, as two pirates who had not received any proper education, they knew nothing about governing a country, not to mention that this was a pirate world with an excellent matching mechanism.

So when they saw Shirahoshi and the others speaking so confidently, they couldn't help but hesitate.

Yi Zang continued to glare at... Xie Wen, and had one hand extended to his waist, as if he would draw his gun immediately if Xie Wen didn't give an explanation.

"Ugh……"

Although Xie Wen didn't want to repeat what he had said, he still repeated what he had said in Zou to break Inuarashi and Nekomamushi's defense.

"…So, Oden may be a good companion to you, but to the people of Wano Country, he is an incompetent monarch."

“This…” Marco looked at Izo, who was also broken, with some embarrassment. He couldn’t help but defend Oden, “Maybe he just doesn’t want to involve his father…”

"Ah……"

Xie Wen sneered and didn't bother to argue with Marco at all, because whether or not to ask Whitebeard for help was not the point at all.

Marco, who is a relatively normal person in the pirate world, actually understood this, so he smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

On the contrary, Ace, a single-celled guy, is more likely to grasp the key points.

"Even if Oden's problem is huge, the people of Wano Country are always innocent, right? This does not conflict with our decision to drive Kaido out of Wano Country!"

"Well, come on."

Xie Wen decisively refused to respond.

"But..." Ace opened his mouth, but thinking that even Whitebeard did not agree to cause trouble for Kaido, Xie Wen and the others had no obligation to take the risk, so in the end he could only sigh, "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things... I will continue to take you to meet other people."

And Yi Zang did not stop Xie Wen from leaving, because after receiving the "explanation", he just squatted aside and became autistic, just like Inuarashi and Nekomamushi did before.

but……

Whitebeard didn't react?

After all, Xie Wen and the others were talking quite loudly just now, one could even say it was a little loud. Given how much Whitebeard values ​​his companions, it is unlikely that he would ignore this.

and so……

Could it be that he has been knocked down by Suika-nyan?

Xie Wen's mouth twitched as he turned his head to look at Whitebeard...

Sure enough, the "strongest man in the world" was now lying on the deck with a red face, and an overturned wine bowl next to him.

In addition to the wine bowl, there was also a group of anxious leopard-print nurses, and Suika-nyanaw who was proudly giving herself a thumbs-up.
