I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

Chapter 323 "Signing Fee" Obtained

 “This is the devil fruit that the world government promised you.”

 After returning to his marshal's office, Warring States took out a large treasure box from the safe nearby and handed it to Xie Wen.

Xie Wen opened the lid, and sure enough there were three devil fruits of different shapes lying inside.

Well, although the process is a little troublesome, the World Government is still very trustworthy. It just doesn’t know if there are fruits it can use and whether it can get new fragments.

After putting the lid back on, Xie Wen planned to say goodbye to Sengoku and go back to study the newly arrived Devil Fruit, but Marshal Sengoku spoke first.

"Alas..." He sighed helplessly at first, and then said to Xie Wen: "Actually, I still welcome you to become a Shichibukai, like Colonel Brynn Blin in the East China Sea and Hill Nance in the West Sea. The colonel (the commander of the naval base in Cody’s hometown) and others all speak highly of you, and I also know that you are not the same scumbag as Doflamingo.”

Marshal Warring States first fully affirmed Xie Wen, and then changed the subject and decisively said: "As far as I am concerned, I don't want to embarrass you, but this matter was requested by the higher-ups because they are concerned about face. make life difficult for."

As he spoke, he pointed to the treasure box containing the Devil Fruit in Xie Wen’s hand.

 “So, what do you want to say?”

Xie Wen rubbed his chin in a funny way. Big Bear wanted to recommend him to join the Revolutionary Army, the World Government wanted him to be a "qualified" Shichibukai, and now even the Warring States Marshal wanted to recruit him into the Navy...

Xie Wen looked at Zhan Guo who was suddenly "confident" to him inexplicably, and didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling.

“So, would you like to join our navy?”

"I know you can't be stationed in a base like the ordinary navy, but it doesn't matter. There are some special forces in the navy that are not open to the public. You can join the navy secretly while continuing to be your Shichibukai. ”

Huh? When did I become so popular?

Anyway, he has already deeply understood from the comics that no matter how much the navy flaunts justice, it is actually just a dog collared by the Celestial Dragons, so his impression of the navy basically has no room for improvement.

 The Warring States Period did a lot of work to recruit Xie Wen into the navy.

“Oh, you can rest assured about this.” Xie Wen shrugged.

Zeng Guo, who completely misunderstood Xie Wen's attitude, was overjoyed, so he proposed to Xie Wen the invitation he had been planning.

"I just don't want you to have a bad impression of our navy because of this incident."

He first mentioned to Xie Wen the special forces that can maintain great autonomy, and then promised them: "Don't you like collecting famous swords and devil fruits? After you join us, you can completely use the navy's intelligence The system will find them for you. In addition, you can also accumulate merit and redeem the famous swords and devil fruits you need from within the navy.”

However, Xie Wen was a little moved by Warring States' proposal.

Of course he has no interest in being a dog to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, but before his attitude is exposed, he is still happy to get some wool from the Navy.

In fact, Captain Bremblin and other navies had made similar suggestions to him before, but Xie Wen rejected them all at that time. In addition to the fact that Xie Wen was facing a different situation at that time, it was also because those navies only made suggestions. Whether it can be realized is uncertain, but Sengoku, as the marshal of the navy, can decide it with one word. There is naturally a big difference between the two. However, after a brief moment of excitement, Xie Wen still shook his head and refused: "If I wanted to join the navy, I would have already joined when Mr. Garp invited me."

Indeed, harvesting navy wool does sound quite good, but the premise of this is that Xie Wen needs to complete the tasks assigned by the Warring States Period to accumulate merit, so this sounds like a good deal, but the actual operation is not as expected. as simple as that.

Moreover, the Navy's inventory also belongs to the World Government, and even the World Government has a higher priority in distributing those items. Since he now has the status of Shichibukai, he can completely obtain it through the relationship with the World Government, so for For Xie Wen, joining the navy seemed a bit unnecessary.

 The most important thing is, what should we do if there is a conflict with the navy in the future?

　　If you fall out directly, then the identity of this navy will be meaningless.

It's not impossible to continue to be arrogant, but it is clear that he can be more unscrupulous when he only has the status of Shichibukai, so why should he put an extra layer of shackles on himself because of this advantage that is visible but not easy to touch.

It’s a pity that my advisers Hua Mei Miao and Robin are not around, otherwise I might be able to come up with a better plan.

Xie Wen smacked his lips with regret.

After being rejected by Xie Wen, Warring States did not continue to persuade him. He, the naval marshal, was also a person who wanted to save face. He just invited a young man and could not stalk him.

Of course, the real reason is that from Xie Wen's calm attitude, he felt that the other party may indeed be a person with a sense of justice as shown in the intelligence, but he does not recognize the justice of their navy.

 If this is the case, then things are a bit bad...

Sengoku's eyebrows twisted slightly, because situations like Xie Wen's were actually not uncommon. In the end, he either had conflicts with the navy/franchised countries/world government and was turned into a pirate, or was killed by that guy Dorag. He was drawn into the revolutionary army.

 Fortunately, Xie Wen has now become a Shichibukai, which to some extent greatly reduces the possibility of him becoming an enemy.

 “In that case, let’s forget it.”

Warring States shook his head and pushed aside the chaotic thoughts, but at this time he was not in much mood to continue getting close to Xie Wentao... The bombed-out Marine Fando was still waiting for him to deal with!

　　When I thought that this matter was related to the boy in front of me, and that the recent busyness was more or less related to Xie Wen, Warring States began to dislike him again.

Anyway, this kid has a pretty good relationship with Garp, and the previous communication with Ahe was also very pleasant, so I might as well leave the matter of maintaining the relationship to the two of them.

Thinking of this, Warring States, who still had to worry about the repairs of Malinfando and other matters, waved his hand to Xie Wen a little impatiently and said, "If you are interested in Malinfando, you can stay here for a few more days. If you have any questions, you can go to Garp or Ahe. I still have work to do, so I won’t entertain you."

 After saying that, he ignored Xie Wen and picked up a document at hand to deal with it.

Xie Wen, who was not aware of the psychological changes in the Warring States period, was actually a little confused, because the attitude of the naval marshal, known as the "wise general", was hot and cold. Even if he rejected his invitation, there was no change before and after. Does it have to be so obvious?

 Why do both the world government and the navy seem so petty?

Xie Wen curled his lips, cursed, and left the Admiral's office holding the box containing the Devil Fruit...

Anyway, he was anxious to go back and see which Devil Fruits he had just obtained, and whether the stingy hunter's manual would give him new pieces, so he was not interested in wasting time with an old man here.
