Chapter 551 Encounter
No matter what the situation was like on Deringer's side, Xie Wen and the others planned to leave Dressrosa after spending a day preparing.
Although there was still some time before the World Conference began, both Xie Wen and the cats were used to wandering around, and staying in one place for a long time would make them feel uncomfortable.
Of course, the most important point was...
"There's still enough time, why don't we go fight Kaido?"
As soon as the Toot left the port of Dressrosa, Xie Wen suggested.
Although he hadn't been able to start the Bushido style before, it wasn't all in vain, at least he was sure that Hawkeye's method was indeed useful.
When he had no clue, Xie Wen could still be very Buddhist, but now that he had a clear direction, he became more active...
Just like when he was playing games before, he couldn't help but think of ways to achieve those achievements with written conditions, and he would pretend not to see those hidden achievements.
"Eh?! Kai, Kaido?!"
Baby-5's reaction was the biggest. After being shocked by the proposal, she still mustered up the courage to swear to Xie Wen: "Don't worry, Master! Even if the enemy is the Four Emperors... I, I will fight for my life!"
And Shirahoshi first looked down at the Kaido-meow in her arms, and was confused for a few seconds before she realized which "Kaido" Xie Wen was talking about.
Then she followed Baby-5 closely and cried out: "Eh?! Are we going to fight that scary guy again? But, but I want to send Derringer back first..."
"Meow, lol! Although I also want to fight him, but..." Kaido shook his head with a wry smile and said self-awarely: "I probably can't beat him now."
Hua Mei slapped Xie Wen in annoyance, "Admiral, what are you doing? Isn't it the most important thing for us to accompany Sister Shirahoshi to attend the World Conference? What if something unexpected happens and we can't make it in time?!"
Even the two little cats, Meowx and Klee, looked hesitant...
"Well... Klee and Jinx's research on the 'super weapon' is not yet completed, so I don't want to fight that bad Kaido right now."
(=ω=)
The little puppet scratched his ear and explained to Xie Wen.
"The most important thing is... do you have the permanent pointer of Wano Country?"
(ω)
Grayfield gave Xie Wen the final blow with a squinted eye.
"Well... well, I took it for granted..."
Seeing that no one supported him, Xie Wen, who was a little excited, calmed down.
Indeed, although time seemed to be ample, it was Kaido after all, and God knew what would happen along the way.
And to be honest, if he faced Kaido alone, it would be fine, but if he went directly to his base camp, Wano Country, Xie Wen was not very sure that he could escape unscathed...
It was a close call, he almost forgot the must-learn stability trick for Monster Hunter because of a brain twitch.
Although he gave up the idea of running to Wano Country to cause trouble for Kaido, Xie Wen and his team still had plenty of time, so he deliberately asked Hua Mei Miao to plan a long route that passed through as many unfamiliar islands as possible.
For this proposal, everyone had no objection, after all, whether it was Cat Cat or Robin, they were very interested in exploring new islands.
And their first stop was the island where the female vice admiral named Dor and her troops who had come to ask Xie Wen for Doflamingo were stationed.
Since most of the G-prefixed bases were destroyed by Kaido not long ago, they are now being rebuilt, and the navy in the bases can only temporarily station on the nearby islands under their jurisdiction.
Vice Admiral Dor is no exception. She was originally the base commander of the G-14 branch, but now she can only run to this island with her subordinates to set up tents...
Well, it's a bit exaggerated to say that they set up tents, but now they are just living in a bungalow that is no different from ordinary people.
Because he knew that Xie Wen was coming, Vice Admiral Dor specially greeted them at the port and entertained Xie Wen in his temporary bungalow... the kind that Shirahoshi couldn't enter.
So Xie Wen and his friends didn't stay for too long. They sat for a while, drank two cups of tea, and then said goodbye and left.
After that, everyone dispersed and went to do their own things.
And Xie Wen, like most of the time, carried two kittens on his shoulders and started walking on the island...
But this time there was also a Baby-5 beside him.
"I feel... he's still a good person."
After leaving the temporary base of the G-14 branch, Xie Wen rubbed his chin and commented on Vice Admiral Dor.
It's not that there are no more luxurious and comfortable houses on the island, but Vice Admiral Dor did not choose to live in them. This alone is more than most of the navy Xie Wen has come into contact with in the past few years.
Especially for branch base chiefs like Dor, who are in charge of a region like a frontier official, many are similar to the kings and nobles in the pirate world, and some are even more excessive than them.
So even if he just doesn't occupy the more comfortable houses in the town, it is enough to show that Dor is at least one of the navy who upholds "justice".
But this is useless.
No matter how much they uphold justice, when the world government issues an order, no matter how inhumane the order is, they still have to obey it...
For example, O'Hara's demon-slaying order and the human trade in the Chambord Islands.
"Brother Xie Wen, are you in a bad mood?"
(=ω=)
The little angel Keli Meow sensed Xie Wen's emotions and immediately put her furry little head on his face and rubbed it gently.
Haibara Miao on the other shoulder also took the initiative to lean her body against Xie Wen's face and made a purring sound from her throat.
Baby-5's eyes lit up, he opened his arms and hugged Xie Wen, and then was slashed on the head by Cang Lanxing with a knife.
"Stop joining in the fun!"
"oh……"
The maid reluctantly retreated, looking at the two kittens on Xie Wen's shoulders with envy.
Under the healing of the cats, Xie Wen quickly put those unpleasant things behind him, hugged the two kittens into his arms, and kissed them hard several times.
"Hmph~ You idiot! Don't push yourself too far, meow!"
(`へ=)
Unlike Keli, who readily accepted it, the arrogant Haibara was very happy, but put on a look of disgust and pressed Xie Wen's head with four little paws...
It just didn't take much effort.
While Xie Wen was playing with the cats, he suddenly felt someone approaching.
"Sir, "Blue Star", can I borrow some of your time? I have something that I would like to ask you for advice. "
What appeared in front of Xie Wen was a blind uncle wearing a purple kimono and wearing wooden clogs.
With such a distinctive look, Xie Wen naturally couldn't admit that he was a gravity fruit user who had not yet become an admiral.
However, Xie Wen's attention was not on him at this time, but on the ordinary-looking staff and knife in his hand...
Having collected many famous swords, he is still very sensitive to the aura of famous swords. The staff sword in Yixiao's hand feels similar to Hawkeye's "Black Sword Night" and Whitebeard's "Cong Yunqi".
That is to say...
This thing is one of only twelve supreme sharp knives in the world.
And Xie Wen, who had read the "Book of Famous Swordsmen" several times, quickly found the record about this staff sword from his memory——
"Gambler's Wire" is a famous sword made by Fugetsu Kisaburo, a famous swordsmith from Wano Country.
Well, how should I put it?
It's a name that really suits Yixiao's character. Why didn't I notice this when I was reading "The Book of Famous Swordsmen" before?
in addition……
Yixiao is indeed from Wano Country, but I don't know why he didn't take care of Wano Country's affairs.
Just when Xie Wen was deep in thought, Yixiao, who came to the door, took two steps back and hid the staff knife in his hand.
"This sword is a gift from a good friend. I will never give it away under any circumstances, even if you are a Shichibukai!"
Xie Wen: "..."
Well, it seems that even the blind man knows that he likes to collect famous swords.
