Chapter 514 Xie Wen's PLAN-B
Xie Wen is now so embarrassed that he can dig out three bedrooms and one living room from the ground.
It's not that he has never encountered warm hospitality from others. After all, compared to several other Shichibukai, he was helped by the World Economic Society and the World Government to become famous at the same time. His reputation among civilians is even higher than that of the three "higher" navy admirals. Even better.
However, this was the first time that Xie Wen encountered a situation like that of Cigu Island where almost the whole island came out to greet him...
No, to be precise, there was a similar situation when he met Baroque Works on Cactus Island. But firstly, Xie Wen knew that they had bad intentions at the time, and secondly, those guys didn't name them by name like they do now. The place specially welcomes oneself.
The most important thing is that from this banner alone, it can be seen that the attitude of Drum Island, or Wapol, is very flattering...
Just like Xie Wen used to receive big customers and big leaders on earth.
"Oh~ Xie Wenqin is so awesome, meow~ The people from the Drum Kingdom actually knew that you were coming in advance and prepared such a big welcome ceremony, meow~"
Charmi rubbed Xie Wen and said proudly.
Xie Wen took a serious look at the little forest cat and made sure that she was not being shady...
Yes, cats may not be that sensitive to this kind of thing.
"Hmph! Why do you only welcome this idiot Xie Wen?! What about us?!"
Even Haibara Miao, who always liked to ridicule him, didn't notice Xie Wen's embarrassment, but instead muttered angrily.
However, Sharmi's words reminded Xie Wen...
"How did Wapol know we were coming?"
Although they did not hide their whereabouts along the way, if you are willing, it is not difficult to know the destination of the investigation team, but with the selfish and selfish character of that idiot Wapol, how could he pay attention to Xie Wen's whereabouts?
Moreover, the Drum Kingdom has been greatly reduced by him in communicating with the outside world. Xie Wen does not think Wapol has any friends outside the Drum Island who would kindly remind him.
"What do you want to do, meow? Why don't you just ask someone, meow? Check-it!"
Meowrya, who was huddled in Xie Wen's clothes, gently nudged his chin.
Xie Wen thought about it, and after sensing it with his sense of sight, he walked towards the aura closest to him.
only…
Wapol has lowered his stance so low that it will be more difficult for him to find an excuse to take action...
Fortunately, the investigation team's demand for Tun Tun Fruit is not that high now, so it doesn't matter.
"Knock knock."
Xie Wen knocked on the door of a very ordinary wooden house, and soon there was a response from inside.
"Come on, come on! Are you back so soon?"
Following this somewhat old voice, an old man with white hair opened the door, but he was stunned when he saw Xie Wen, a complete stranger.
"Cang...Master Canglanxing?"
The old man in front of him glanced at the three cats on Xie Wen's body and spoke cautiously.
As I said before, thanks to the propaganda of the World Economic Society and the World Government, Xie Wen is still very famous among ordinary people, and the characteristic of always following Ellu cats around him is also very easy to identify, so unless it is a magnetic The people on Drum Island don't read newspapers like the Bablin Pirates. Otherwise, even if Wapol hadn't caused such trouble, they would have probably recognized Xie Wen.
"I'm right," Xie Wen nodded and explained with a kind face: "We didn't land at the pier of this island, so we didn't meet your island's welcoming team, but what I'm more curious about is... you How did you know I was coming?"
Seeing Xie Wen's cheerful and angry look, the old man was obviously relieved, but he was confused about his question.
"This...I don't know much about it. It's just that four days ago, Lord Jess, the kingdom's staff officer, suddenly came down and ordered us to prepare for your arrival."
"Four days ago?"
Xie Wen rubbed his chin, the doubts in his heart deepening.
Because they did nothing four days ago and were just on their way, they couldn't think of any clues.
"Hmph~ It's really the idiot Xie Wen! I didn't even think of this, meow!"
Haiyuan Miao raised her cat's head triumphantly and patted Xie Wen's head with her paws. "Then, what does our cat-minded master have to say?"
Xie Wen asked cooperatively while reaching out and scratching her chin.
"Four days ago, five days ago to be exact, we can basically deduce based on the route we took that the final destination is Drum Island. Someone should have informed the king here, meow!"
"Of course I know someone informed him. The question is who informed him..."
Xie Wen pinched Haiyuan Miao's face speechlessly.
Then she bit her.
"Then how could I guess that, meow!"
After leaving a few shallow teeth marks on Xie Wen's hand, the little cat licked his teeth with satisfaction, then put his hands on his hips and spoke confidently.
Maybe it was because of the publicity about Xie Wen in the newspaper, or maybe it was his interaction with Haiyuan Miao just now that made the old man from the Drum Kingdom confirm that Xie Wen was really not a bad person...
Xie Wen, who was fooling around with the little cat, heard a "plop" sound, and the old man suddenly knelt down towards him.
"Please! Lord Blue Star! Please help us drive Wapol out of this country!"
Immediately afterwards, the old man quickly told Xie Wen about Wapol's evil deeds with a sharp tongue that was completely inappropriate for his age...
In addition to monopolizing doctors' resources, there are also very common situations such as exorbitant taxes and indifference to human life.
How to say it?
Xie Wen was not surprised at all to encounter such a scene, because he had encountered similar situations in other countries.
In the world of pirates, which has a matching mechanism that is comparable to that of small African countries, kings like Wapol and Beckley are too common.
Therefore, Xie Wen was the same as when he encountered this situation before...
He decisively refused.
"Sorry, even though I am a Shichibukai, I can't attack the king of the participating countries at will." Xie Wen helped the old man kneeling in front of him and said regretfully: "To be precise, it is precisely because I am a Shichibukai that I You can't attack Wapol casually.”
Although for Xie Wen right now, it would not be a big deal if this Shichibukai was lost, but he did not want to lose this convenient identity just because of Wapol, a useless snack.
And there is one thing to say, if the medical resources were monopolized by Wapol, the civilians of the Cigu Country would not necessarily be worse off than people in other places. After all, there is an old witch here who is taking care of the whole situation.
But if you add in Wapol's other evil deeds... the difference is actually not very big. After all, this is the situation, no matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.
Even so, Xie Wen still did not plan to attack Wapol on his own initiative, even if he left and then returned to attack him.
In addition to the fact that his current need to swallow the fruit is not urgent, the more important reason is—
After leaving Drum Island, Xie Wen will find trouble with Doflamingo. At this time, it is better not to irritate the World Government.
By the way…
Xie Wen suddenly came back to his senses and asked if the person who informed Wapol was someone from the CP organization? To be precise…
Uncle Cody?
After all, apart from Uncle Cody, Xie Wen really can't think of anyone who doesn't want him to continue to stimulate the World Government, and who also has the ability to make Wapol give in.
Although this honest Wapol makes it difficult for Xie Wen to deal with him personally, it does not mean that he really doesn't care...
The situation of the Drum Kingdom is actually very similar to that of the Sorbey Kingdom from a certain perspective. The Drum Kingdom cannot find a doctor if it wants to treat a disease, while the Sorbey Kingdom cannot afford a doctor if it wants to treat a disease.
So, a certain vice-captain of the Bonny Pirates should be very interested in this country, right?
"Don't worry, old man, something might happen to Wapol after a while for other reasons...such as being killed by a passing pirate, or dying suddenly."
Xie Wen blinked at the disappointed old man and said pointedly.
