Chapter 521 Return to the Sabaody Archipelago
Although Xie Wen said he wanted to stroll all the way slowly, in fact their speed was not slow.
First of all, there is really nothing that can stump them in the first half of the Grand Line. For the Elcat Investigation Team, which has been traveling in the New World for a while, the first half is really no different from a "paradise".
Secondly, the Dudu Qianjin, which has been upgraded many times and is equipped with "intelligent AI", can sail at a very high speed even in its most basic form.
Finally, there are still a few pirates like the Bablin Pirates who don't read newspapers on the whole ship. There is no trouble with Xie Wen and his friends along the way. On the contrary, Xie Wen took the initiative to train Shirahoshi. Went to attack several pirate groups...
Then other pirate groups on this route began to avoid Xie Wen and the others, making Shirahoshi unable to find anyone to practice with.
In this way, Xie Wen and the others soon arrived near the Shampoo Islands.
"Want to go to the Shampoo Islands first?"
Xie Wen looked at the cats and Bai Xing.
Well, mainly Shirahoshi.
"I remember that mermaids and fishmen seemed to have a deep obsession with the amusement park in the Shampoo Islands."
"Yes! There is also an amusement park on this island, nya!"
(=ω=)
Keli Meow immediately jumped onto Bai Xing's shoulder, gently pulled her hair and said, "Sister Bai Xing! The amusement park here is so interesting! There is also a very magical Bubble Meow!"
"Hmph! Stupid Keli! Have you forgotten that there are bubbles like that on Fish-Man Island too, meow?"
(=へ=)
Haibara Miao squinted her eyes and started bickering with the little puppet out of habit.
"The bubbles on Fishman Island are used in the water, while the bubbles in Shampoo Land are used in the air. That's different, meow! Sister Xiao Ai is the idiot! Just a little bit~~~"
(=><=)
The little puppet retorted plausibly while making a face.
"Whether it's used in water or on the ground, the essence of those bubbles is the resin of the Argman mangrove tree. It's the same, meow!"
(=ˇˇ=)
As a scientific research cat, Haiyuan Miao began to present facts and reason.
However……
"Keli is still young and can't understand what sister Xiaoai is talking about~"
(=3=)
The little puppet decisively started to act stupid.
Haiyuan Meow: "..."
"Okay, okay, let's listen to what Bai Xing has to say first."
Xie Wen promptly stopped Haiyuan Meow, who was grinning and about to pounce on Keli Meow.
If they don't stop him quickly, these two little fur cats will definitely hit Xie Wen again, and they will also naturally change the main target of attack from the other party to him, a blue (mao) blue. (pa) star (jia) above.
For this reason, even a few bites from Haibara Meow are worth it.
…
Although Shirahoshi has been staying in the hard-shell tower since she was six years old, she has also heard other fishmen talk about the amusement park in the Shampoo Islands, and she also has a special affection for it.
However, she had also heard about the slave auctions in the Shampoo Islands and the slave-catching teams there, so Bai Xing was both yearning for and afraid of this place.
Xie Wen and the cats did not rush her, but quietly watched Bai Xing's face changing.
After a while, Shirahoshi nodded firmly and said, "I, I want to go to the Shampoo Islands!"
Then, she shook her white and tender fists, and shouted loudly as if to cheer herself up: "I'm not afraid of those slave traders! If they dare to come and arrest me, I can do it myself without you, Boss Xie Wen." Shoot them away!"
"Okay, okay! This is how it should be, meow! It's best to beat all those scum into a pulp, meow!"
(=`=)
Meowx jumped on Shirahoshi's head, very satisfied with her answer.
"Uh... just beat it into a pulp..."
The mermaid princess, who finally worked up the energy, was frightened by the bloody description of the little crazy cat and shrank back, wringing her fingers and muttering.
"Where was your momentum just now? Take it out, meow!"
(=`Д=)ジ
Seeing that Bai Xing only remained strong for a moment, Meowx was so angry that she raised her paw and slapped her head hard.
"Ugh! Sister, I'm going to get angry if you keep patting me!"
Under Meows' encouragement (bi) and dance (po), Bai Xing finally plucked up the courage to raise his hand to reach the little blue cat above his head...
"I'm not asking you to use your momentum to deal with me, meow!"
(=`Д=)
Meows became even more angry, turned around and jumped off Bai Xing's head, then hugged her fish tail and gave her a hard bite.
"Mlocculant Karate·Tail Whip!"
Bai Xing quickly swung his tail, whirring into the air, while Meowx hung on it, refusing to let go.
The two little girls, both unwilling to admit defeat, were in a stalemate.
What Bai Xing didn't expect was that before she could throw Meowx away, there was a new little fur cat joining in.
"Meow hahaha! This looks so fun! Keli wants to play meow too!"
(=`=)
The little stuffed animal swooped down and accurately hugged the fish's tail, which was still "convulsing", and then bit it with a "aaaah" sound.
Of course, compared to Meows who used a little more strength, Keli's mouth was much lighter, but because of this, she couldn't hold on to the fish's tail for a while before being thrown away.
But the little puppet didn't care at all, instead, it was happily repeating the game of "jump up → get thrown away → jump up again".
Seeing her having so much fun, Meowx forgot to be angry with Shirahoshi, immediately relaxed her mouth, and started playing like Klee.
Then, Suika, Link, and Sanji, the cats who usually like to play and fight, joined in.
And Shirahoshi saw this and continued to cooperate by wagging his tail...
Just like practicing fish-man karate.
So, the little bit of gunpowder smell that had just risen disappeared instantly, and it smoothly switched to the daily life of the investigation team.
Lord Xiang Feihu, who was about to step forward to persuade them to stop fighting: "..."
"I don't bother with you little idiots, meow!"
(=`н=)
Hua Mei rolled her eyes, turned around and threw herself into Xie Wen's arms, angrily asking for comfort.
As the cats were playing around, the Dudu Advance, under the control of the Dudu, slowly sailed into the port of the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Huh? So strange, meow..."
Hua Mei, who was lying in Xie Wen's arms enjoying the petting service, raised her head and looked around.
"Why are there so few ships in the port? There are less than half of the last time we came, meow."
Xie Wen also looked around.
Indeed, the ships in the port are completely inconsistent with the density that should be in the Sabaody Archipelago, a special transportation hub, and...
"Most of them are pirate ships."
You have to know that when Xie Wen and his team came here, the pirates all fled at the sight of the wind. They haven't seen a ship with a skull flag for a long time.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, the Sabaody Archipelago is the end point of all the routes in the first half. Even if the pirates on this route have run away, the pirates on the other routes can't be sure when they can reach Sabaody.
But even so, the proportion of pirate ships here is too high.
"Let's go, let's go talk to Aunt Xia first, and then we'll take you to the amusement park."
Xie Wen was too lazy to think about it, and he planned to go directly to Xia Qi to ask.
By the way...
See if Doflamingo's auction house is still there, if it is, then smash it again!
