Chapter 343 The Prophecy Comes True

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Bai Xing, you have to take good care of yourself when you are out there, remember to eat on time, and call dad when you have time..."

King Neptune hugged his daughter, crying and nagging at the same time.

Bai Xing, who was always prone to crying, now had a determined look on his face and gently patted King Neptune's back with his hand.

The behavior of the father and daughter at this time was as if their personalities had been reversed.

And Xie Wen's head was still in a state of confusion at this time...

No, did I accidentally skip something? Why did Bai Xing suddenly leave with us?

I really can’t blame Xie Wen for being confused, because after Bai Xing plausibly told King Neptune his ambition, the mermaid uncle was convinced with a look of emotion, and then inexplicably fast-forwarded to the scene in front of him. …

No one asked him, the apparent leader of the investigation team, or Hua Mei Miao, the real leader of the investigation team?

"that……"

Xie Wen, who finally got out of his dazed state, was just about to speak when the cats around him cheered.

"That's great, nya! Sister Shirahoshi has become our partner, nya!"

"Meow hahahaha! From now on, fish will eat their tails, meow!"

"Hmph...hey, there is one more member who is of great research value, meow..."

"You two, do you want to be imprisoned again, meow?"

"Have a banquet, have a banquet! I will definitely prepare a sumptuous welcome banquet for Sister Bai Xing, meow!"

"Oops~ From now on, should I sleep with Xie Wenqin in my arms? Or should I sleep with sister Bai Xing in my arms? It's so hard to decide, meow~"

"Sister Bai Xing, it shouldn't be convenient to move on land like this, right? But don't worry, I will make you an auxiliary walking tool, meow! Check-it!"

(ゝω)~☆

"Don't worry, everyone, I and Lord Xie Wen will protect His Highness Bai Xing's cat."

(=`=)┫

Because of Bai Xing's special attraction to cats, the El cats immediately welcomed her joining in their own way.

However, Xie Wen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Do you want to think about it again? Bai Xing is still young, so it is a bit inappropriate to go to sea with us like this, isn't it?"

He wasn't worried about ancient weapons or anything like that. After all, Meowrya and Haibara Meowth had seen Pluto's drawings. He also had Nico Robin with him. Poseidon wouldn't be a big debt to worry about either. , There are too many lice and it doesn’t itch.

The main reason is that Bai Xing is only eleven or twelve years old now, and he still has his father and third brother at home, so there is no need to rush to go to sea with them.

"What does it matter if you are young?! Keli is younger than Sister Bai Xing, so she went to sea with you, Brother Xie Wen!"

(=`н=)

"That's right! Are you looking down on us kids, meow?!"

Meowx and Keli Meow pulled Xie Wen's ears and cheeks from left to right, yelling angrily.

What made Xie Wen even more chilly was that Haiyuan Meow's little black-bellied person was squinting at him with a malicious look on his face, and his little paws were reaching into his own space bag, groping around, and mumbling something. Said: "This won't work, it will kill meow... This won't work either, it'll be too easy to be discovered... this effect is too poor, it won't relieve your anger..."

"Xie, boss Xie Wen, don't you welcome me?" Bai Xing also looked at Xie Wen with tears in his eyes.

"Don't make trouble, Bai Xing's situation is different from yours..."

Xie Wen caught the two little fur cats that were tossing his ears and cheeks, and then glared at Haiyuan Miao with a warning look, and then explained to Bai Xing: "I don't mean to not welcome you. , I just feel that there is no need for you to go to sea in such a hurry, and..."

He turned to look at Jinbei aside, "Compared to our investigation team, isn't Jinbei's place a better place to go?"

As a result, the blue whale shark man unceremoniously broke the story and said: "Although I am a member of the Shichibukai like Xie Wen, I am still a pirate after all, and the situation of Fish-Man Island is different from that of Nine Snakes, so Princess White Star is not It is suitable to join the Sun Pirates, but your investigation team is different. Even if Princess Shirahoshi joins, it will not have any impact on the reputation of Ryugu Kingdom."

"Mr. Jinbei, did you forget that I am also in the investigation team?" Robin also stood up and reminded him at this time.

However, Jinbei nodded very calmly and said, "It is precisely because Miss Robin is with Xie Wen that I think Princess Shirahoshi is more suitable to join your investigation team."

Obviously, he connected Robin, who can interpret ancient texts, with Shirahoshi, who is an ancient weapon. He felt that this was an extremely coincidental thing. Coupled with Mrs. Charlie's prophecy, Jinbei felt that this was It's "meant to be".

"And..." He looked at Xie Wen, who had just "flexed his muscles" in Marineland not long ago, and the two natural cats, and said sincerely: "I believe you have the ability to protect Princess White Star."

Then, King Neptune, who had cried enough, also said: "I believe in Bai Xing's choice, and I am willing to believe in you. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for our Fish-Man Island and humans to coexist peacefully."

Having said that, Xie Wen naturally had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, if you can subtly influence some of Bai Xing's characters in the process, it seems to be quite a sense of accomplishment.

As for Bai Xing's ability to control Neptunes, it doesn't mean much to Xie Wen and the others.

Not to mention that they are not afraid of attacks from sea kings, Shirahoshi's ability itself is not suitable to be exposed to the public...

Xie Wen does not believe that the World Government knows nothing about "Poseidon", at least the mysterious Im must know.

Although Xie Wen seems a little casual and even a little joking, Shirahoshi is just as Mrs. Shirley predicted - she was "abducted" by Xie Wen.

Fortunately, Shirahoshi is still young and has not grown to more than ten meters in height in the future, but now she is about six or seven meters tall. Anyway, Xie Wen looks about the same as Big Bear...

The Toot Forward needs to be modified!

Considering the future size of Shirahoshi, the expansion of the ship naturally needs to be included in the plan.

By the way, is there a younger brother of Tom (the master of Ice Pago and Franky) on Fishman Island? What is his name?

But even if he can't be found, it doesn't matter. It will take a few years for Shirahoshi to grow up. Besides, the Dudu is more than ten meters tall, so it's not that he can't fit in. It's just a little inconvenient. Besides, as a mermaid, Shirahoshi can actually swim with the boat, so there's no need to be too anxious for the time being...

Xie Wen muttered as he came to the Dragon Palace Treasury again.

Originally, because Shirahoshi became a member of the investigation team, Xie Wen didn't feel comfortable asking for King Neptune's "thank you gift". After all, he had kidnapped someone else's daughter, and it would be too much to lose both his money and his life...

Tsk! Why does this sound so awkward?

In short, Xie Wen didn't plan to go to the Dragon Palace Treasury to pick treasures, but King Neptune said he would not agree to anything.

If it was just a "thank you gift" before, now it's a "red envelope" for the safety of his daughter, trying to strengthen Xie Wen in other ways as much as possible, and asking him to take good care of his daughter.

So Xie Wen, who understood this, didn't postpone it any further.

The last time I came here, I didn't even open the door, and I left because of Hoddy Jones's matter. Now I'm here for the second time...

"Huh? Did you change the door lock?"

"Ahem...King Neptune scratched his cheek awkwardly and explained, "What you said before seems to make some sense, so I took the time to change it."

King Neptune opened the door lock that was obviously much more complicated than before, and then pushed open the door of the Dragon Palace Treasure House.

As expected, it was almost the same as Xie Wen expected. Although there were jewels and gold inside, they were just some very ordinary treasures. Not to mention devil fruits, even a famous sword could not be seen, so Xie Wen lost interest immediately after taking a glance.

"You go and pick it, see if there is anything you like." Xie Wen said to the cats.

Although the Elu cats were not interested in these treasures, the curious cats liked the process of "exploration".

Then...

Robin, Huamei, Huiyuan and Sharmi all picked some beautiful jewelry, Link picked some small ornaments made of shells and corals, Meowerya took some inconspicuous metals, and Meow Juro didn't take anything.

And Klee and Meowx brought back a small box with a very Japanese style.

"Wait," King Neptune said with a smile, "This is actually the jade box, and the murderous medicine inside has been stolen by Hody Jones. You two should choose another one."

"Meow?"

(=ω=)

The little puppet tilted his head in confusion, "But Klee smelled a bomb inside, meow!"
