MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates-Chapter 225 Sand Crocodile: Well, the advantage is mine!
Chapter 225 Sand Crocodile: Well, the advantage is mine!
In fact, there is not only one island between Little Garden and the Kingdom of Alabasta, but some of these islands are formed by the Baba pulled out by the Island Eater Monster, some are reef islands, and some are too small in area.
In short, these islands either do not produce magnetism, or the magnetism they produce is not enough to attract the recording pointer.
According to Krokas, there are actually many islands like this in the Grand Line. Although they will not be recorded by the record pointer, they are not completely without people on them.
In addition to the indigenous peoples on some islands themselves, there are also some who have inadvertently drifted to these islands and built them into places similar to highway service areas or desert oasis.
The island recorded by the record pointer is called "Vacation Island". Just by listening to the name, you can tell what the special industry is here, and this island has also appeared in the main chapter of the comic and the story on the title page.
The area of the resort island is actually not that big. It is not even one-third of the small garden by visual inspection, and it is incomparable to Alabasta. However, in this section of the sea, it has the largest magnetic field. The strong one, coupled with the pleasant climate here and the rich resources on the island, the population density of the resort island is very high.
The most striking feature of this island is that there is a giant tree in the center of the island that can almost cover the entire island and is shaped like a parasol. On the top of this tree, several buildings are also built on it...
“It seems like housing land on this island is really tight.”
Xie Wen stood on the bow of the boat and looked far into the distance, looking at the gradually enlarging resort island and murmuring.
Kelimiao stood on Xie Wen's shoulders and stretched her neck, looking around and yelling.
“Brother, do you need a tour guide?”
However, it is understandable that a resort has only such a small overall area, so it is natural to make full use of every inch of land as much as possible.
after all…
As soon as the Dudu Qianjin docked at the port, Xie Wen and the others had not even gotten off the ship when a group of people crowded over...
In addition to the "enthusiastic" tour guides and overcrowded tourists, the resort island has another point that fits its name very well and is similar to major scenic spots, and that is the price here.
It’s not that the facilities and environment here are better. The main reason is because the island is too small. There are even some areas where tourists are restricted from entering. They have to wait until some of the people inside can come out before they are released.
This resort island can be said to be the most densely populated place he has ever seen in the pirate world, even islands such as Spring Queen City, Mirapole Island, and Carnival City cannot compare.
This is a world where people kill people if they disagree. Even if there is a navy warship next to them, there is no guarantee that everything will go wrong. These tour guides don't want to risk their own lives just to attract business, so they behave very restrained.
“So many people! Brother Xie Wen, there are so many people here, meow!”
“It turns out to be Mr. Blue Star! If you choose me as your tour guide, you can get a 20% discount on the price!”
Although there were two naval warships parked on the other side of the port, Xie Wen still asked Keli Miao to summon some small flame puppets to see the ship, and then he took all the cats off the Dudu Forward, ignoring the group of The self-recommended tour guide went directly to the island.
“I know the resort island well and am the best tour guide here!”
It looks more and more like the popular scenic spots before time travel, and it’s still a holiday limited edition...
Emmmm…it feels like a popular scenic spot.
Xie Wen looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to the group of tour guides who were stalking through the prospect area, the tour guides here were much more discerning and valuable. Seeing that Xie Wen had no intention of asking for a tour guide, they immediately dispersed to find other customers.
Even compared with islands such as the City of Seven Waters, the City of Spring Queen, and the City of Carnival further back in the Grand Line, things here are basically about twice as expensive, and the prices are even more exaggerated when compared with prices across the world. Already…
Xie Wen curled his lips. He didn’t expect that even though he had traveled through time, he still couldn’t escape the fate of being slaughtered by the scenic spot.
But...there are no pirates who can't stand the price and are causing trouble here? You must know that even in the scenic spots on the earth, there are a lot of people causing trouble because of these problems, not to mention those pirates who kill without blinking an eye.
But then I thought again, most of the pirates who took this route probably ended up in the small garden. Even if they got here, the chaotic climate in front and the giant beasts in the small garden were enough to make most pirates have no idea about the Grand Line. Generate enough awe.
Coupled with the fact that the navy comes here for vacation from time to time, the chance of this happening is smaller than on Earth, but it doesn’t seem impossible.
Well, another reason is that the cost of making trouble on Earth is much lower. If the trouble here fails, you will either be killed or sent to Impel Down for life imprisonment. The consequences are much more serious.
Just as Xie Wen was muttering about the tourist attractions in the two worlds at the same time, Huamei Meow on the side was already holding his chin and muttering in a low voice: "After entering the Grand Line, the prices of our things should also increase, Meow... But on this island Prices don’t have much reference, I have to visit a few more islands before I can make a decision..."
ˆXie Wen: “…”
Every time he sees the cats around him working so hard, Xie Wen feels very complicated.
Fortunately, besides the shamelessly hard-working cats, there are also several "like-minded" little fur cats around him -
“Brother Xie Wen, Keli wants to play with that meow~”
The little puppet is as usual, exploring various things that interest him.
At the same time, Sanji Meow also tugged on his trouser leg and shouted: "Xie Wen, give me some money quickly, there are several kinds of ingredients over there that you haven't seen before, Meow!"
(=⊙﹏⊙=)
Linkmiao, on the other hand, was standing in front of a stall selling souvenirs, looking at their prices with a confused look on his face, wondering whether he should buy it or not.
What makes Xie Wen most helpless is the prodigal cat Huiyuan Meow. She is eyeing all the luxury goods. The only good news is that the price difference of these luxury goods is not as exaggerated as other products, but it is still more expensive than other places. Up some.
Fortunately, they also have Hua Mei Miao, a business wizard, in their investigation team. Master Xiang Feihu is not only a good hand in business, but his bargaining ability should not be underestimated. After this round of shopping, he saved Xie Wen a lot. money.
While Xie Wen and the others were sightseeing on the resort island carelessly, the Sand Crocodile in the Kingdom of Alabasta also received news from his subordinates.
“Did they actually leave the small garden so quickly?!”
Crocodile took a deep breath of his cigar and frowned deeply.
Because he didn't trust anyone, he naturally thought of Nicole Robin, who had just left not long ago. The time when Xie Wen left the small garden was too coincidental, and Robin's previous reputation was not much better. She Those who took refuge ended up in despair.
However, after the Sand Crocodile thought about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely, because Robin should have had no reason to betray him before he saw the historical text. There was no conflict between the Blue Star and himself. The most important thing was that …
Crocodile glanced at the report in his hand again. It all described things where Xie Wen took the cats to eat, drink and have fun on the resort island...
It doesn’t look like he’s trying to cause trouble for himself.
Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking it. With Xie Wen's strength, even if there is no record pointer, the climate of the Grand Route does not pose much of a threat to him most of the time, so it should be just a coincidence.
Moreover, the Baroque Working Company under him is so secretive that even his own plans and identity are currently only known to Robin. In this way, even if someone under him accidentally conflicts with Xie Wen, he will not be involved. so…
Well, the advantage is mine!
After thinking about it for a while, Sand Crocodile finally came to this conclusion. So after he once again emphasized to his subordinates not to provoke the other party, he did not take Xie Wen and his party to heart.
Compared to the Blue Star, which had nothing to do with him, the news about his plan to seize the Kingdom of Alabasta and the discovery of the ancient weapon Pluto was the most important.
