Chapter 418 Target, Liqueur Island
Xie Wen's premonition, or rather, his bad luck, was as accurate as ever.
After spending some time looking through all the animals in the library, he found a moment to glance at his hunter's manual, but the familiar white light did not appear...
Obviously, he was only one fragment short of the monster pool, but he could not get it. It seemed that he could only pin his hopes on the third fragment on the elephant master.
However, considering the new page that recorded Shirahoshi and Shirley, Xie Wen suspected that the elephant master would most likely be classified there.
After all, judging from the performance in the comics, there seemed to be some kind of connection between Shirahoshi and the elephant master.
Thinking of this, Xie Wen couldn't help scratching his head, and then he began to recall which creatures in the comics, besides the elephant master, might give him monster pool fragments and which he had not yet come into contact with...
But after thinking about it, it seemed that there were only the two big dogs and baboons with strange styles in Wano Country.
Oh, by the way, there is also Chopper who will join the Straw Hat Pirates in the future. I don’t know whether he is included in the small monster encyclopedia or the special encyclopedia that Shirley belongs to.
It seems unnecessary to run back to the Drum Kingdom at this time. If we go to Wano Country...
It’s not that I’m afraid of Kaido, but the Beasts Pirates are indeed more troublesome than the Big Mom Pirates. Anyway, Xie Wen is not interested in fighting Kaido again for the time being.
So in the end, is Zou the only choice?
Xie Wen is not very resistant to going to Zou. Although the two leaders of the Furry Principality are crazy fans of Kozuki Oden and are incompetent leaders like him, Xie Wen is still very interested in the fur tribe itself.
What’s more, there is a signpost text hidden on Zou, so it’s a good opportunity to collect it.
“Xie Wen, can we go to Liqueur Island now, meow?”
(●﹃●)
Just as Xie Wen was thinking about the next sailing route, Suika Meow staggered over and pulled his sleeve and asked.
Ever since she knew there was an island with wine as its theme, she had been looking forward to seeing it. Now that Xie Wen's work was finally done, the drunken cat naturally couldn't wait any longer!
"Okay, okay, we'll go there right away."
Xie Wen rubbed her little head, knocked on the pair of Rakshasa horns, and then reached out to Perospero for the island distribution map of Totland.
The other party handed the map to Xie Wen without any hesitation.
"Although I gave you the map, there are different defenses around each island, so it's better for you to take them with you, lick~"
Perospero pointed to the group of "blind dates" and reminded.
Xie Wen was helpless, but he still chose to take them with him. Since the aunt was so confident in her daughters... then take them with him, anyway, he didn't care.
And Brin and others did not refuse, they were eager to play with the cats for a while longer.
"Can Prometheus continue to follow us?"
(=ω=)
Klee was holding the flame Homies, which was now in the shape of a three-headed dog, and was reluctant to let go.
"Uh... this is..."
Perospero showed a difficult expression on his face.
If Xie Wen and the others stayed in the cake castle or even on the cake island, he could agree directly, but if they left the cake island, he didn't need to ask BIG·MOM for permission, because he knew he would be rejected.
As Homies made by Charlotte Linling with her own soul, Prometheus and Zeus were still more important to her. Although in the comics, Big Mom said to throw them away, but the price was that she spent part of her vitality to make another one.
Therefore, BIG·MOM would never let them leave her too far.
This is not a question of whether she is worried about them getting into trouble, but a kind of... the feeling of uneasiness of a myopic person who doesn't know where his glasses are.
Fortunately, Xie Wen's main goal had been achieved, so he didn't make things difficult for Perospero. He pinched Klee's face and asked her to let go of Prometheus.
"Well..." The little puppet pouted reluctantly, but still loosened the little claws holding Prometheus, "Then Klee will come to play with you next time meow."
(=ΦωΦ=)ジ
The little puppet waved its claws at Prometheus, and then threw a ball of golden flame to it.
"This is a gift for you meow!"
Prometheus, who was originally resistant to Klee, immediately changed his attitude after "eating" the flame, flew to Klee's side and began to circle around her.
"Really? Then you must come to play with me soon!"
As Homies made of Charlotte Linling's soul fragments, Prometheus and Zeus inherited her greedy characteristics.
Zeus, on the other hand, also began to please Sharmi because he was fed with high-quality lightning.
In comparison, Zeus seemed to be more servile, no wonder he was easily kidnapped by Nami in the comics.
As for Prometheus...
Unlike Zeus who only knew how to please Sharmi, his attitude towards Klee was more inclined to coax her, and now he wanted the little puppet to give him a few more high-quality flames to taste.
This reminded Xie Wen of a guess by the silly netizens - Sister Carmelo did not die completely after being swallowed by Charlotte Lingling, but parasitized on Big Mom in the form of a soul.
And Prometheus and later Hera both have part of Sister Carmelo's personality, or even most of it.
So it seems...
Did the silly netizens guess right again?
Xie Wen did not dwell on this issue for too long. After all, it didn't make much difference to him whether Big Mom was Charlotte Lingling or Carmelo.
"Okay, Ke Li, we should go. Your sister Suika is still waiting to drink."
Xie Wen stepped forward to stop the little puppet from throwing fireballs at Prometheus, and then boarded the Toot Forward with the members of the investigation team and the "blind date".
"Mr. Xie Wen, I read in the newspaper that you escaped from Kaido with this ship. Can you let me see it?"
Soon after the Toot-Toot Forward left the port of Cake Island, Brin approached with a curious look.
If Xie Wen hadn't read the comics and knew that this little girl was actually a black-bellied acting school, he would have been fooled by her appearance.
In fact, not only now, when she was on Cake Island before, Brin also hinted to Xie Wen and the cats about some things about the investigation team.
In addition to her, Charlotte Miukulu of the Long-Handed Clan and Charlotte Joscaponi of the Long-Neck Clan also had similar behavior.
Obviously, their mission today should be more than just a blind date.
Xie Wen didn't care too much about Brin's test. Anyway, the ability of the Toot-Toot Forward had already been exposed in part. Even if she didn't show it to her, with the intelligence ability of the Big Mom Pirates, they should have known it a long time ago.
And...
It's just right to help the impatient Suika-nyan get to Liqueur Island earlier.
Xie Wen handed the sea chart that Perospero gave him to Hua Mei-nyan, and then patted the head of the little puppet on his shoulder.
"Ke Li, I'll leave it to you next."
