Chapter 556: Thanks From the Warring States

"Heh... Thanks to you, I'm not a marshal anymore."

Zhan Guo sternly replied with his hands spread out.

Xie Wen spread out his hands and said innocently, "You can't blame me for this. It was Sakaski who came to trouble me for no reason. I've never met him before."

"It doesn't matter," Zhan Guo shook his head, "I've retired anyway... I came here to talk to you about something else."

Xie Wen rubbed his chin...

"Rosinante?"

"You know? Sure enough... the pirate named Trafalgar Law is the kid who got platinum lead disease back then..."

Zhan Guo nodded in understanding and sighed in a complicated tone.

But Garp next to him was confused: "What are you two talking about? I don't understand!"

However, Sengoku was in no mood to pay attention to him, and asked again: "Then do you know the identity of Donquixote Doflamingo?"

"I know, he is a former Celestial Dragon. Doflamingo wanted to go back but failed, and was almost killed in Santa Mariejoa, so I don't think those Celestial Dragons will come to me for trouble because of him... Although those CP0s in Dressrosa seemed to be planning to save his life at that time."

Xie Wen shrugged nonchalantly.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you for avenging Rocinante."

Sengoku, who had always had a cold face, suddenly showed a kind smile and bowed deeply to Xie Wen.

Scared Garp next to him.

"Zhan Guo you..." He opened his mouth, but did not continue to ask who that Rocinante was. Instead, he deliberately picked his nose and said with an unhappy face: "I was wondering why you had to follow me. You always dislike me so much and even refused to share your rice crackers with me."

"... Shut up!"

Although he knew that Garp was deliberately diverting the topic from this sad topic, Zhan Guo still couldn't help but yell at him.

Even if he wanted to change the topic, couldn't he find a better way? !

King Neptune, who was supposed to be the main reception target of the navy this time but was left out, stroked his beard and whispered thoughtfully: "Don Quixote? This surname seems to sound familiar to me..."

"The Celestial Dragon that Princess Otohime saved was Don Quixote. He and Doflamingo should be considered relatives." Xie Wen heard him muttering and said directly: "Maybe we can meet him when we go to Santa Maria Joa this time."

Then Xie Wen suddenly glanced at King Neptune in surprise...

He just thought of it. During this period, Fishman Island has been running around to join the World Government, but Neptune has never thought of finding a way to contact this Celestial Dragon? Obviously, when Otohime was still there, she asked him to help with the upper-level relationship.

Sure enough, King Neptune's greatest political achievement in his life was to find a good wife and make a good friend.

Even though Xie Wen had long been accustomed to the excellent matching mechanism of the Pirate World, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and silently complained in his heart.

That's all about Doflamingo. Since the last time the Kingdom of Dragon Palace participated in the World Conference was many years ago, before departure, Garp's adjutant Bogart also specifically explained all the precautions for going to Santa Maria Joa.

Considering the complex environment of Santa Maria Joa and the high probability of having a response when the accident really happened, Xie Wen had discussed with the cats to allocate the team before arriving at Fishman Island.

Xie Wen himself must go, and the lucky Spark Knight must be brought along. In addition, he wants Sharmi to use the observation color to detect the existence of Im, so she must be brought along.

And Meowx, as the big sister of Shirahoshi, must also go with her, and repeatedly assured Xie Wen that she would never make trouble.

But anyway, the two most troublesome cats went with them, so Huamei, who was the best at keeping an eye on them, naturally had to go with them.

Sanji, the chef cat, was very interested in the food in Santa Maria Joa, the seat of the highest power in the world, and pestered to go with them. Xie Wen considered that his current strength was not bad, and he could protect himself even if an accident happened, so he agreed.

In addition, there might be some special situations, so Link, who could transmit messages silently and quickly, was also taken with Xie Wen.

On the other hand, Robin, as a survivor of O'Hara, naturally could not go to Santa Maria Joa with them. Although Meowerya had eaten the Snow Snow Fruit, she was still like Huiyuan Meow, not suitable for frontal combat, and more suitable as a logistics support staff, so she also had to stay on the ship.

Since Klee and Sharmi, the two strongest fighters, as well as Huamei and Link, as the main fighters, have followed Xie Wen, in order to ensure the safety of the Toot Toot itself, Kaido, who is at the top of the investigation team, will naturally have to stay. In addition, there will be Meowjuro who often watches the ship, and Suika who was left behind because she was worried about getting everyone else drunk. By then, whether they need to break into Santa Marie Joa to rescue people or encounter any situation outside, they will be able to handle it.

Originally, Xie Wen did not plan to take Baby-5 to Santa Maria Joa because of her strength, but when Bogart was explaining the precautions, he mentioned that they were not allowed to carry weapons to the Red Earth Continent.

And Zhan Guo also reminded Xie Wen on the side: "Don't be clever, those 'space bags' in your hands are not a secret, the Navy and the World Government have long wanted to find an opportunity to study them."

"Master Zhan Guo..." Bogart looked over helplessly.

However, after Zhan Guo reminded him, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

It was precisely because of this that Xie Wen decided to bring Baby-5 with him.

Although he was not bad in combat when he was unarmed, it was completely different for Monster Hunter to have weapons or not.

Thinking about it this way, Baby-5 joined at the right time.

As for the fact that there would be no conflict on this trip, Xie Wen actually never considered it at all.

In the original book, Shirahoshi who was targeted by the Celestial Dragons + Master of the Mountain of Fire + Jinx is Jinx's little blue cat...

How could this configuration stay in Santa Maria Joa for a week in peace?

What Xie Wen and Hua Mei Miao wanted was to reduce the scale of the conflict as much as possible. After all, judging from the situation in the original book, whether it was Neptune and his party, or Lao Cai and Leo who beat up the Celestial Dragons in the end, as well as the Flower Kingdom and Dressrosa to which they belonged, they all escaped unscathed.

So...

It shouldn't be a big problem?

A blue star thought very unconfidently.

In fact, as long as it is suggested that King Neptune not bring Shirahoshi, the conflict will be avoided with a high probability, but Xie Wen does not intend to do so.

Because he did not think highly of King Neptune's plan from the beginning, but if he did not let them see what kind of character the World Government and the Celestial Dragons are, and let them be completely disappointed, this family would continue to do this kind of useless work like Princess Otohime.

As for not letting Klee and Meowx participate...

Why? !

My cats are not going to cause trouble. As long as those Celestial Dragons behave themselves, there will be no conflicts!

Anyway, Xie Wen can't bear to see his cats suffer. The worst case scenario is that they rebel. If they get angry, I will surrender... no... surrender to Dragon!
