I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 799 Borrowing People
Ever since he was attacked by Klee and then beaten up by the Straw Hat Pirates, and even his "last trump card" Oz the Zombie was killed, the already depressed Gekko Moriah has become even more depressed.

Although he still participated in the Garp version of the Battle of Marineford, it was only because he wanted to keep his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But with the collapse of the World Government's rule, Moriah had exhausted even this last bit of energy. He even abandoned his huge "Thriller Barque" and found a remote town to hide out.

By the way, the user of the Transparent Fruit, Absalom, also uses the pseudonym "Absalom" just like in the original work, and contributes to the World Economic Forum as a freelance writer.

Because of his fruit ability, he can always take some exclusive photos, and with the special blessing of LSP identity when photographing beautiful women, he soon became a rising star in the media industry...If Morgans hadn't mentioned in casual chat with Xie Wen that he wanted to recruit this "natural paparazzi", Xie Wen would not have even remembered about it.

However, precisely because Morgans had been trying to find out the whereabouts of "Absa", with the help of the information provided by Shanks, Xie Wen quickly locked onto Moria's exact location.

"Yes, it's the Felynx Investigation Team!"

"Ahhh! It's Princess Klee! She's so cute!!!"

"Strange, how could such a big shot from Canglanxing appear in a remote place like ours?"

"It's obvious that you don't know Mr. Xie Wen. He's the author of the World Travel Guide. It's not uncommon for him to appear anywhere!"

As the Toot-Toot Advance descended from the sky, the town where Moonlight Moria was hiding suddenly became lively.

Due to the overthrow of the World Government and the various evidences presented by the World Economic Society, public opinion at this time has completely turned to Xie Wen and the Revolutionary Army. Xie Wen's reputation, which was originally ruined by the World Government's perseverance, has long since recovered, and is even better than during the Shichibukai period.

So the residents of the town were not afraid at all. Instead, they came over excitedly to watch Xie Wen and the cats, just like before. Some brave ones even came over to ask the cats for autographs...

"Uh... this is really an experience I haven't had in a long time..."

Xie Wen scratched his head, somewhat speechless.

People in the pirate world are really careless. Even with all the fighting going on outside, these people still have the leisure to chase stars.

But Xie Wen could actually understand that, apart from the geographical environment of the island in the Pirate World, even if the World Government and the Revolutionary Army did not go to war, they would still have to face pirate raids that would appear from time to time. The overall environment did not seem to be any different...

And as mentioned before, because many pirates turned their attention to Egghead Island, the living environment of ordinary people has actually improved a lot in the past period of time. Although Egghead Island is gone now and Im's Homies Corps is causing chaos everywhere, the Revolutionary Army and a part of the navy are maintaining order, so overall there has not been much change.

"Oh no! Master Moria! That Blue Star is coming to kill us again!!!"

Just as the residents of the town were warmly welcoming Xie Wen and the cats, Absalom, who had sneaked out to take a look earlier, ran back to the house where Moria was with a look of panic on his face.

"What?! Then let's run away!"

Perona recalled her tragic experience and immediately wanted to pack up her belongings and prepare to run away.

Then he was stopped by Moria who was also startled.

"Why are you panicking? They're not necessarily coming for me! Besides, aren't he and the Revolutionary Army busy dealing with the remnants of the World Government and that guy called Im? We've already left the World Government, so there's no reason for him to cause trouble for us, right?!"

After all, he was once one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Gekko Moriah quickly calmed down and comforted his only two loyal subordinates.

After listening to his analysis, Absalom and Perona also felt that it made sense and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good……"

"Oh!"

However, before Perona could finish her words, the door of the house was kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, a cute voice full of energy and in a childish voice reached the ears of the three people... "Uncle Garlic Head, Sister Ghost! Are you there? Klee is here to play with you again, meow!"

(=＞＜=)

To the three of them, the friendly greeting from the little doll was like the call from hell. They still remembered what happened the last time the little kitten came to "play" with them!
Well, after being hit by Klee's bomb, few people can forget it... unless they are directly blown away by Klee's bomb and lose their memory.

"Oh no! They are here to cause trouble for us! Master Moria! Run away!"

"What should I do? What should I do? I don't want to die yet!"

"Kakudōkage!"

Compared to Absalom and Perona who fell into panic in an instant, Gekko Moriah acted much more decisively. Knowing that he could not escape, he directly attacked Xie Wen.

"Ha! What a warm welcome indeed."

Xie Wen raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground, stepping back the sharp-edged knife shadow that had just emerged from his own shadow. However, he did not fight back against Moria. Instead, he smiled helplessly and said, "But shouldn't you listen to my intentions first?"

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the three people in the room.

Absalom and Perona haven't changed much, but Gekko Moriah seems to be a little fatter than the last time I saw him...

It seems that the other party is determined to develop in the direction of becoming a fat otaku.

"Ok?"

I found that Xie Wen didn't seem to be as hostile as I imagined. The most important thing was that Klee was also quietly staying on Xie Wen's shoulder, and had no intention of pulling out the bomb...

Moria and the other two were not so nervous anymore.

"Hehehe... Sorry, sorry, I overreacted." Moria immediately put on a talkative look, "Why did you come to see me? Canglanxing."

"Oh, nothing serious."

Xie Wen spread his hands, pointed at Perona who was still cowering, and told the truth: "We encountered a little difficulty when dealing with Yimu, so we asked you to lend us Perona."

And the cat Keli on his shoulder nodded her head seriously and said, "Brother Xie Wen, you should have listened to Keli and captured Sister Ghost and raised her."

(=`ー=)
“Wow! Master Moria! Don’t abandon me!”

Perona had a strong psychological trauma towards Klee and was immediately scared to tears.

However, Xie Wen's action of "forcing Moria to hand over his companions" touched his reverse scale, so this fat otaku, who had long lost his ambition, changed his face again.

"Don't even think about taking my companion away! Shadow Mage!!!"

As for what Xie Wen said, "borrow" instead of "rob", for pirates like Moria, the two actually mean the same thing.

Xie Wen: "..."
