I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 440: Inside the Whale

The process of Zou choosing a king was really so casual.

Xie Wen suddenly realized that the little rabbit beside him would be so casually chosen as the next king of Zou in the future.

"I'm not interested. I still want to go on adventures with the Admiral." Hua Mei curled her lips in disdain. "What's the point of staying here all day long?"

"That's right, don't even think about snatching Sister Huamei away! Otherwise, Klee will blow you up with a bomb, meow!"

(=`н=)
Sanji's fur all stood up, "What's so great about being the King of Zou! We don't care about him, meow!"

Although she is usually strictly controlled by Lord Xiang Feihu, neither the little ragdoll nor the little blue cat, nor the little yellow cat who has recently been obsessed with the big sister of the cat fur tribe, want her to leave the investigation team.

"We certainly don't mean to force her," Inuarashi quickly comforted him, "Since Miss Huamei doesn't have that idea, we can't force her to be the queen."

However, he and other fur-bearing people all had regretful looks on their faces. It was obvious that these fur-bearing people still thought that Huamei was the best cat to inherit the throne of Zou.

"Didn't you say you would take us to see the original text of history?"

Xie Wen decisively changed the subject and interrupted these guys from coveting his cat.

"Hmph... follow me!"

It was clearly the place he was guarding, but Inuarashi took it away as a favor, which made Cat Viper very unhappy, but he had just said that he would no longer engage in meaningless fights with the other party, so he just snorted at Inuarashi in dissatisfaction, and then decisively took over the initiative.

Inuarashi was not to be outdone. Although he didn't say anything, he took two quick steps and walked side by side with Cat Viper, obviously trying to compete for the right to "lead the way."

Although the two have agreed not to fight each other, small-scale conflicts like this will probably occur frequently in the future.

"What a pair of idiots, meow."

(ω)
The Mouth on the Shoulder wagged its tail for the Cat and complained with a look of disdain.

Moreover, Huiyuan Miao did not lower her voice. Xie Wen was sure that the cat and dog in front of her heard her complaints, but they pretended not to hear them...

Well, they are indeed two idiots.

Because of the rivalry between Inuarashi and Cat Viper, their pace was a little faster, and soon everyone followed them to the huge ancient whale tree.

"Wow... Here, the feeling of being watched by the elephant master is even stronger."

Bai Xing frowned and said.

Klee scratched her ears and tilted her head in confusion: "Is there a meow? Klee doesn't feel anything..."

"Lord Oden and Captain Roger said something similar. They said the closer you get to the whale, the louder the 'sound' gets."

Cat Viper explained before Inuarashi could.

And Inuarashi also added: "It's just that they couldn't talk to the elephant master, and they couldn't even understand what the elephant master was saying."

"I don't understand now either," Bai Xing shook his head, "Boss Xie Wen, should I put on the instrument and try again?"

"No need, I guess the elephant master should be taking a rest again now..."

Xie Wen briefly stated his speculation. Of course, it was impossible for him to say what would happen in the future, so his speculation sounded a bit flimsy and taken for granted.

However, Huibara Meowth and Meowerya both nodded in approval.

"This is very likely. If the elephant owner has been walking non-stop for hundreds of years as it said, then it must need to rest in some way. Moreover, elephants originally sleep standing up, so it is very likely that it changes to sleeping while walking! Check-it~"

(ゝω)~☆ Huiyuan Meowth patted Xie Wen's head with his little paws, and said with a look of satisfaction: "I didn't expect that a fool like you, Xie Wen, can also be smart sometimes, meow!"

"Doesn't that mean that if we want to contact the elephant master again in the future, we have to... wake it up first?"

Inuarashi pondered for a moment and used a more euphemistic word, but everyone could understand his real meaning - to wake up the elephant master.

"No, if what you said is true, the 'sound' here is particularly clear. Maybe this is the place used to call the elephant master."

Xie Wen felt that it would be unlikely that such drastic measures would be used, and the situation in the forbidden area of ​​Zou was so special that it was impossible that it was just for the purpose of placing a piece of historical text.

As for whether it was as he guessed, it was easy to find out...

"Well, after you finish reading the main text of history, Shirahoshi, why don't you give it a try? How do you feel now? If you are tired, you can take a rest for a night. Anyway, there is no rush."

"I'm fine!" Bai Xing patted his chest, "I'm still very energetic now!"

Then everyone continued to walk upwards along the raised veins on the trunk of the ancient whale tree until they reached the tail of the whale, where there was a... um... very obvious doorway-like entrance, behind which was a long staircase leading directly into the belly of the whale.

"So...is this forbidden area of ​​yours so blatantly displayed outside?"

Xie Wen pointed at the unobstructed doorway in front of him and couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this clearly telling others that your hidden things are here?"

Although this cave entrance is very inconspicuous compared to the huge body of the ancient whale tree and cannot be noticed from a distance, as long as you search nearby, you can find this special place.

Therefore, even if Inuarashi and the others didn't bring Xie Wen with them, the success rate of him getting Sharmi to make the trip would be very high.

"I and the Knights are guarding this place! The enemy can't get close!"

Cat Viper replied nonchalantly.

"What if Kaido comes?" Xie Wen glanced at him, ignoring his frustrated expression, and continued bluntly: "Although given his temper, if he really can't find it, he will probably destroy it wantonly, but if we hide this place, at least there is a chance that it will continue to be hidden in the ruins."

"You are right. We will disguise this place later."

Perhaps after being scolded by Hua Meimao, Cat Viper became a little more wise. He did not argue with Xie Wen, but honestly accepted his advice.

"Heh, you refuse to admit that you are single-celled. You have been guarding the Whale Forest for so many years, but you have never thought of doing this."

Inuarashi took the opportunity to taunt.

"You stupid dog just thought of it!"

"But I'm not responsible for the Whale Forest."

Inuarashi continued to speak in a mocking tone, with his tongue sticking out most of the time, looking...

He really deserves a beating.

“Meowaaaaaaah!”

Cat Viper wanted to attack out of habit, but after glancing at Huamei Miao standing nearby, it abruptly stopped its steps on Inuarashi and could only jump and scream helplessly and furiously on the spot.

To be honest, Xie Wen was a little fed up watching these two guys fighting each other. He even regretted why he had just complained about the hole.

Fortunately, after a temper tantrum, the fat cat named Cat Viper, quickly calmed down and continued to walk down with Xie Wen and the others.

Xie Wen, who didn't want to cause any more trouble, kept his mouth tightly closed while going down the stairs. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the red historical text in the whale's abdomen.
