Chapter 715 Kobe and I Scored 83 Points Together
Full of doubts, Xie Wen walked out of the hotel and came to the dock where the Dudu Qianqi was docked. Then he saw a large number of pirate ships appearing on the sea in the distance. They were surrounding Torrance with a menacing attitude.
Xie Wen glanced from a distance and did not see any particularly familiar pirate flags.
So...
How did these guys get here? How dare they come here?
Canglanxing was puzzled by this.
In fact, if Xie Wen opened the dynamic map of the hunter's manual, he would find that Torrance's location was not only closer to the Red Earth Continent than their starting point, but also closer to the Calm Belt, almost at the edge of the Grand Route.
And if he was more careful, he would find that in the process of going to Torrance, they basically chose the direction pointed by the most unstable of the three pointers of the recording pointer.
In other words, Torrance is not only remote, but the route to Torrance is also not the first choice of sailors. This is also the main reason why the people on the island don’t know Xie Wen at all, and the news bird rarely comes.
But now a large number of pirates inexplicably and simultaneously appeared in Torrance...
There is no doubt that they came here with Xie Wen.
As for why these pirates dared to follow Xie Wen, a "Five Emperors", and even made a big show of wanting to fight with Xie Wen, the reason is a little complicated.
First of all, it is related to Vegapunk, or in other words, it is related to Xie Wen's "troublemaker" attribute that something big will happen wherever he goes.
In the case of failing to rob Vegapunk, the pirates not only turned their attention to other scientists, but also paid attention to Xie Wen's movements.
At that time, they had no idea of robbing technology from Xie Wen, but just thought that if Xie Wen found something good again, they could follow behind to share a piece of the pie.
As for the World Government, it has long regarded the Fey Cat Investigation Team as an object that must be focused on.
However, since Xie Wen and his team killed a large number of Celestial Dragons in Saint Mary Joa, the Dudu Forward was either in the sky or in the sea, and its whereabouts were too erratic, so neither the pirates nor the World Government could monitor Xie Wen very well.
But when Klee and his team started the treasure hunt game, the Dudu Forward, which had been moving mysteriously, suddenly turned around in a fixed sea area, looking like it was looking for something, which immediately attracted the attention of those people.
As soon as Xie Wen and his team left, pirates and CP agents boarded the nameless island and found the ruins in the cave.
Although they couldn't understand the crooked words on the ruins, they all knew that Xie Wen had found something good again, so a group of brave pirates began to quietly follow Xie Wen and his team.
If the matter only ended here, it would actually be a group of daring pirates who wanted to follow Xie Wen to see if they could pick up some leaks, but at this time, the World Government began to exert its strength.
Under the instigation of the CP organization's undercover agents in the pirate group, these pirates, as well as some pirates who had not joined before, gradually began to change their mentality...
After all, their "subordinates" were right. How could the benefits of "picking up leftovers" be compared to "stealing jobs" directly?
As for the reason why this group of pirates was convinced, in addition to the consistent arrogance and greed of this group, it was actually related to the battle of Egghead Island.
In the original battle of Egghead Island, three of the five sea emperors appeared, but Xie Wen, the "originator", was nowhere to be seen, so the sea emperor of Blue Star must be unworthy of the name.
But they who participated in the battle of Egghead Island were different. If they hadn't encountered the immortal Five Elders, they would have almost defeated the three admirals of the navy!
This record of "scoring 83 points with Kobe" made this group of arrogant pirates easily incited by the CP agents.
Of course, there are some smarter pirates, but their cleverness lies in letting other pirates take the lead and then they will reap the benefits. In essence, they still believe that their huge pirate coalition can defeat Xie Wen, the "unworthy" sea emperor.
In addition, in order to get more pirates to participate, CP agents even used some unconventional means, such as fruit abilities and drug stimulation.
The reason why the World Government targeted Xie Wen was not because they already knew the existence of the vampire fruit.
Although this fantasy beast fruit that can restore youth is indeed worthy of the World Government's top leaders, in fact, no matter whether the treasure is historical texts, ancient weapons, or ordinary gold and silver treasures, the World Government has made up its mind to take this opportunity to provoke a conflict between Xie Wen and the pirates.
The first and most important point is that they have deduced that the "little girl" is related to the power rock, and they want to consume as much of Xie Wen's "stock" as possible. If Xie Wen, a madman who dares to massacre the Celestial Dragons, throws a few more on Santa Marie Joa one day, things will be bad.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that with the existence of Suika's density fruit, the consumption of power rock was almost negligible. More importantly, with Klee's assimilation of the "Holy Mother Flame" and the puppet's innovation in explosives technology, even without the use of power rock, the power of "Little Girl" has exceeded the one dropped by Wano Country.
The second reason is similar to the reason why Xie Wen intends to target Im. The World Government also wants to force Xie Wen to reveal more cards.
Not to mention the various technologies obtained from Vegapunk, the group of Fey cats that keep popping up from nowhere and their endless means are enough to give the World Government a headache. What's more, the strength and ability of several Fey cats are still a mystery to the World Government.
In addition, there is a third reason...
Xie Wen has caused them so much trouble during this period of time. Even if it is just to vent, the World Government wants to teach him a lesson.
Xie Wen didn't know that the real initiator of this incident was the World Government. He was just a little surprised and quickly regained his composure.
After all, there are too many confused guys in the pirate world. If Luffy didn't have the protagonist's halo, he would actually be a confused guy, but after changing to the protagonist, it was a passionate and kingly plot.
So, it didn't seem surprising that he was besieged by pirates again.
And...
"With so many pirates, it's just right to test the effect of your domineering color, Sasha."
Xie Wen stood on the dock of Torrance Town, like the baboon Rafiki lifting little Simba in "The Lion King", with his hands under Sasha's armpits, and lifted her up high facing the fleet of pirates.
