I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

Because Xie Wen defeated Uncle Bacchus in a single challenge, when Xie Wen met Mr. Cody again, the other party's attitude became more enthusiastic, and he even took the initiative to increase Xie Wen's guard remuneration...

If the remuneration offered before was actually money to buy bombs, this time it was really because of Xie Wen's strength.

Moreover, Cody also knew that Xie Wen was short of money now, so he took the initiative to pay him half of the remuneration in the name of a deposit.

Of course Xie Wen would not refuse such a good thing. He also planned to find a good knife at this fair and try to open the weapon page... It would be best if he could find a famous knife.

But Xie Wen also knows that let alone half of the reward, even if Cody delivers all the reward, it is not enough to buy a famous sword. As for other "fast knife" level weapons... Although he doesn't understand the prices in the pirate world, But it must not be enough.

Moreover, if you want to summon more Elcats, in addition to collecting various excellent weapons, you also cannot put down Devil Fruits.

In this way... there will be many places to spend money in the future...

I worried about money before time travel, but I still have to worry about money after time travel. Sure enough, the basic laws of the world will not change.

Xie Wen sighed, put these annoying things aside, and decided to pick up a cat first to change his mood.

"Little Keli~ Come here, brother will continue to tell you the story of "Naruto the Cat" today."

Originally, Xie Wen initially told some Andersen fairy tales or One Thousand and One Nights to the little puppets, but Kelimiao was not interested in such stories that were "not intense at all". She preferred that the brave conquer the For a battle story like Demon King, it would be better if there were elements such as flames and explosions in the middle.

So Xie Wen thought twice and tried to tell her an abridged version of "Naruto" with El Cat as the protagonist. The child liked it very much... and then he continued to tell her.

As for the possibility of summoning Naruto-type Elu cats like Naruto's cat or Sasuke's cat in the future, Xie Wen is not worried at all.

First of all, the probability of summoning a Hokage-type Elu cat among a bunch of anime characters is not high. Secondly, even if it is summoned, it doesn't matter. There are a lot of people with the same name and surname, let alone cats.

Besides, the life trajectories of cats and their prototypes are also very different. There is Sanji in the East China Sea waiting for Sanji to meet him.

"That's great, meow!" Keli, who was drawing on the table, grabbed the drawing paper in his hand and ran over, "Brother Xie Wen, look, this is Sasuke, meow, painted by Keli!"

Well, before Deidara and Konan appear, Kremiao's current favorite character is Sasuke, who is good at fire escape and whose eyes can turn red...

Xie Wen was a little worried at first, whether Keli Miao would become a middle-aged cat in the future, but fortunately, there seems to be no sign of that at the moment.

"Kelly's painting is great."

Taking the painting in Maomao's hand and taking a look at it, Xie Wen sincerely praised Keli Meow. , can be said to be exactly the same.

"Hey hehe~"

Kelimiao was very happy to be praised. She quickly got into Xie Wen's arms, rubbed his chin with her little head, and then urged: "Brother Xie Wen, hurry up and talk about meow. Last time we talked about Naruto." He successfully summoned the giant toad, but Keli is still waiting for him to defeat that bad guy named Gaara, nya!"

Although Sanji, who was tinkering with something at the side, did not come over, his cat ears were raised high, and he quietly turned towards Xie Wen.

Xie Wen gently scratched Kelimiao's chin, raised his voice slightly, and continued the story from last time.

…

The next day, Cody's ship had already loaded the cargo early, and after gathering all the people, it slowly sailed out of the port of Colorful Paper Town.

"Damn it! I'm so embarrassed!"

Seeing the confetti weight getting smaller and smaller, Xie Wen suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted in annoyance.

"What's wrong?" Bacchus asked curiously.

"Uh...it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to buy something." Xie Wen's expression froze, and he found an excuse to excuse himself.

In fact, he wasn't completely lying. He just seemed so upset because he suddenly remembered that he couldn't do something.

As for what happened...

"You idiot must have forgotten to open the map, meow." Sanji said gloatingly.

Xie Wen glanced at him coldly, "Why are you so happy? I haven't opened the map, so I have to postpone the summoning of Sister Eluma."

"!!!" [Cat Cat Shocked.jpg]

The mood of one person and one cat became not so beautiful. They all looked in the direction of the long-disappeared confetti weight with melancholy on their faces.

"Map?" Bacchus, who was vaguely listening to the general idea on the side, was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Xie Wen was "cheated" yesterday when he bought a map...

"Isn't it just a map? Boy Xie Wen, please wait for me."

Bacchus patted his chest, turned around and ran towards the captain's cabin. After a while, he ran back holding a roll of paper that looked to be old.

"Here! The complete map of the West China Sea is only available from the Navy, but we have collected maps of the nearby sea areas and the areas around the islands we often travel to. It is estimated that there will not be too many more accurate maps than what Mr. Cody has. Bacchus handed the map in his hand to Xie Wen and added: "I'm not giving it to you, I'm just showing it to you. It's okay to make a copy, but you must return it in the end."

"Uh... don't bother me. I'll just take a look. Thank you, uncle." Xie Wen quickly thanked you.

I have to say that the first people I met in the pirate world were good people like Cody. I was really lucky, and I was not as shady as before I traveled through time.

While taking the map from Bacchus, Xie Wen shamelessly took the credit for a certain Ragdoll cat.

Of course, he also has his own reasons...

Although it was Keli Miao who pointed in the direction, the person who summoned Keli Miao was Xie Wen! Therefore, if we want to trace the origin, isn't it still because of his good luck?

While looking for help for himself, Xie Wen also looked through all the maps in his hand.

Let me just say... In this world dominated by the ocean, even if there are more convenient navigation tools such as recording pointers and permanent pointers, the drawing of charts should not be so bad.

Sure enough, there are still accurate nautical maps, although they are still not as good as those printed out after repeated measurements on the earth, and there are no more detailed data such as altitude, longitude and latitude, and they are incomparable with electronic maps, but at least they are not. It looks like a serious map.

After returning the map to Bacchus, Xie Wen took out the hunter's manual...

This time, the map page finally changed.

First of all, in addition to the area that Xie Wen has opened, there is also a small shadow on the map, which is basically the area combined with the maps he just looked at, and there is also an extra progress bar below. A small section of translucent progress.

If there were just more "pre-renderings", then viewing these maps wouldn't mean much to Xie Wen, but after careful study, he found that it was not just that.

After obtaining the "pre-rendering" effect, Xie Wen's "field of view" also became huge.

To give a simple example: before there was "pre-rendering", when Xie Wen was sailing on the sea, the area that was lit up on the map was the width of a finger. Now, the area that is lit is the width of a palm, just like in Invincible Heroes It's like learning advanced investigative skills.

And there is no need for him to go back to the confetti town he stayed in before, because the entire island has been lit up.

Although I don’t know the specific reason, this did make Xie Wen breathe a sigh of relief...

If the way to light up the map remains the same as before, God knows how long it will take to complete the new progress, let alone the high probability that the map of the entire world will be lighted up in the future.

If there is no "pre-rendering", if Xie Wen wants to push all the progress of the map, he will probably have to run to kill the kizaru or the big bear, and then find the new shiny fruits and meat ball fruits, and use their abilities to fill the world Only Fei can do it.

But when it comes to snatching Devil Fruit abilities...

An idea suddenly came to Xie Wen's mind.

Some smart friends may have already guessed it. After all, it’s not a novel setting, and the foreshadowing I laid out earlier is quite obvious.

…

Regarding the question of which power system is stronger between Monster Hunter and Pirates, there is actually nothing to compare. Both sides have exaggerated settings, and there are also situations that are inconsistent with the settings. Just judging from the effects of humanoid creatures on both sides, Judging from the destructive effect, of course it is more exaggerated on the pirate side, but if the monster hunter wants to explain, it can also be said that the scales of the ancient dragon can easily block the domineering force, etc.

In my personal opinion, excluding uncertain factors such as different world rules and some settings that conflict with most of the original settings, just from the perspective of expressiveness and overall settings, the strength of hunters is not as good as that of pirates. , when they hunt ancient dragons, they rely more on their hunting skills to attack weak points, rather than being able to pin the Neptunes to the ground and beat them up like pirates.

Of course, this kind of thing depends on personal understanding. Anyway, the only ones with monster hunting abilities are the protagonist and the cat. It doesn’t matter who is stronger and who is weaker...

The various relationships and power systems in the world of Pirates are still a mess. If you ask me to add the system of the Monster Hunter world to sort it out, I will go crazy!
