Chapter 590: Mechanical Island

Xie Wen didn't know that Shanks was trying his best to find out his location. After welcoming Touma, he kept his promise and sent the Dudu to Balkimoa, the island.

"Wow! It's so awesome, Xie Wen! Dudu is really awesome!"

(==)

Touma Miao, who saw the transformation of the Dou Dou for the first time, excitedly lay on the edge of the Dou Dou, looked at the claw-wing jet on the outside that was changing its shape, and shouted loudly.

【Wow ah ah ah! Touma-chan, don’t lie over there, meow! 】

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Duduhao, who had been integrated into the main body, suddenly reminded with a hint of panic.

However, her reminder was still a step too late. A transparent protective shield quickly rose from the edge and rushed into the air with the confused little cow cat.

"...Unfortunate meow~~~~~"

(=`=)

Touma Miao, who was "taken away", shouted out the sound of waves, but her little claws still clung firmly to the edge of the protective shield.

"Let go, you little fool! Don't you want the claws anymore?!"

"Eh?! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Xie Wen! You must catch me, meow——!"

Under Xie Wen's loud reminder, Ma Miao finally reacted and let go of his claws, and then fell from the height. While he was wailing, he did not forget to ask Xie Wen for help.

It's a pity that Xie Wen couldn't catch him, because Ma Miao didn't fall to the deck at all, but was carried by the inertia and fell diagonally downwards, and finally "snap" hit the rising protective shield on the other side. superior.

What's even more embarrassing for Xie Wen is that the second after Touma Miao let go and fell, the protective shield above suddenly stretched out a pair of arms to catch him, but because of Xie Wen's reminder, he just couldn't catch……

In other words, if he hadn't shouted that sentence, Robin would have saved Touma Miao.

He and Robin looked at each other speechlessly, but in less than a day, Xie Wen also discovered another characteristic of Touma Miao——

His actions, or the unexpected situations when he was unlucky, seemed difficult to capture. Every time they wanted to save him, there was always a delay of one and a half seconds, and it happened to be just such a short moment. The fleeting time allowed them to miss most of the opportunities to save Touma Miao.

Unless the distance is close enough, or you don't rely on sight, hearing, and color, but make predictions in advance based on experience.

In fact, with Sharma's speed, he was able to save him in time, but the problem was that every time Sharma rescued Touma, a little lightning would accidentally leak out, electrocuting the little cow cat into a little black cat.

and……

It will also arouse the hostility of a certain little yellow cat who wishes to remain anonymous.

I really can’t tell which situation is worse.

So Charmi stopped taking action after saving her twice.

"It's a shame that you can survive until now..."

Xie Wen hugged Touma, who had slowly slid off the protective cover, and touched his cat's head with emotion.

The neurotic character of the cow cat, coupled with Kamijou Touma's bad luck, Xie Wen estimated that Touma's cat birth would most likely be more "magnificent" than his prototype.

Well, he was referring to before the plot of the Forbidden Kingdom began.

"No...unlucky meow..."

Touma Miao responded with her own mantra in a muffled voice.

"You should try not to leave us too far..." Xie Wen put him down and explained: "To be precise, try to stay close to me, Link, Seijuro, Suixiang, Huamei and Kai. If there are more people around, there is a chance that I can save you in time."

"I know, meow..."

Touma Miao replied somewhat discouraged.

He originally wanted to help everyone as much as possible, but in the end, the situation was still the same as before. He didn't help much, but only added chaos.

Even though the world has changed, why is Mr. Kamijou's luck still so bad?

The little cow cat sighed in frustration, and then quickly adjusted.

Xie Wen also said that even if you don't eat Devil Fruit, there are still powers called Armed Color Haki and Wisdom Color Haki in this world. As long as you learn these, the situation will definitely improve a lot!

Ma Miao thought as optimistically as ever.

…

Machine Island, the future country of Balkimoa.

Like Cigu Island, where the Cigu Kingdom is located, this is also a winter island covered with snow all year round. However, compared to Cigu Island, the climate on Guan Island is a bit harsher. Not only is the temperature lower, but the wind is also blowing very hard. .

Even if all the winter islands that Xie Wen has passed through over the years are compared together, the machine island is definitely among the best.

And what’s even more special is that unlike Winter Island, where most seasons and weather are limited to the island, in addition to the main island being plagued by wind and snow, the cold on the island also spreads out for a long distance. There are thick ice floes everywhere around this island. It is impossible for ordinary pirates to get close without an icebreaker.

This is one of the reasons why Balkimoa has such a good reputation, but few pirates come to try on him.

As for the other reason, it is naturally because the World Government has arranged a force no less than an ordinary branch to guard here.

When Vegapunk accepted the invitation from the World Government, one of the conditions was to protect his hometown.

Besides, even if he didn't mention it, the navy would still be stationed here. After all, this was his former residence and research laboratory. Even if the World Government didn't need it, it didn't want it to fall into the hands of others.

However, just like the abandoned Punk Hazard, the World Government paid attention to it, but not that much. With the natural climate barrier, the strength and quality of the navy on the island were not very strong, otherwise Frank would not have made such a fuss in the comics, and he could not be caught, and even who he was could not be figured out.

Although the investigation team could go to the island directly and openly, and the navy could not stop them, but who made Xie Wen play a big game in Santa Maria Joa before? If he appeared in a sensitive place like Balkimoya at this time, even if Aokiji was reluctant, he would be forced by the World Government to send people here.

They came here just to borrow Vegapunk's notes, so the less noise the better, so Xie Wen asked the Toot to switch to the sea dragon form from a distance and sneaked to the vicinity of Balkimoya...

Then they were blocked by the floating ice above their heads.

Fortunately, this small problem is nothing to the investigation team. There are too many ways to break through the ice. Because Xie Wen didn't want to make too much noise, he finally chose to let Klee burn it through.

And when landing on the island, Xie Wen didn't bring too many people and cats...

Meowerya must be brought along, and Huiyuan is the only one who can help, so she must be brought along. Klee is not only a lucky star, but also a portable heater, so she can't be left behind. Robin is very interested in the history of Balkimoa, so she also followed, and finally added Link, who has the largest space backpack, as a porter.

The rest of the investigation team members were left on the Toot to wait.
