Chapter 37 The situation on Gures Island
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"it hurts!"
"I'm hurt! I'm hurt!"
As Xie Wen sheathed the knife, a scream sounded behind him, and the men in black suits lay on the ground covering their wounds.
In fact, what Xie Wen did just now was very simple. He just walked over, drew his knife, cut people, put the knife away... and then acted cool.
But because he was too fast, the gangsters had no time to react. Of course, this was also related to the fact that there were no masters among them.
"Let's go." Xie Wen ignored the gangsters he had slashed, waved to the two cats he had just put down temporarily, then picked them up again and walked towards the hotel.
"Brother Xie Wen is so awesome, meow!" Keli Meow cheered as always.
Even Sanji Meow gave me a rare compliment: "Not bad, have you mastered Uncle Bacchus' swordsmanship like Meow?"
"It's not even close." Xie Wen shook his head.
The swordsmanship he just used was actually Brook's Nose Song Sanding - Arrow Tail Slash in the comics.
The original name of this move was "BANDOROU", and "BANDOROU" was a name changed by Brooke based on his own swordsmanship style. It means: humming a song with your nose and taking three leisurely steps before the enemy will Realized that he had been tricked. It is a very powerful Iai style swordsmanship.
However, there are very few swordsmen who can do this. Even Bacchus, who taught Xie Wen this move, cannot do it.
And Xie Wen obviously didn't reach this level, and the effect of using it was obviously much worse, not to mention that his opponents were still a group of minions who were not very powerful.
It's just that Xie Wen doesn't intend to reproduce Brook's sword moves. Because of the difference between the nodachi and the stabbing sword, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for him to achieve the effect of "Bi Ge Sanding".
What he meant by "still far away" actually meant that he was still far away from fully integrating this sword move into his own.
"Oops!" After walking some distance, Xie Wen suddenly slapped his thigh. He was pretending to be cool and forgot to "touch the body"!
Now, if you go back and search those gangsters, is it a bit embarrassing?
Xie Wen hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't be thick-skinned, but he still asked Sanji Miao without giving up: "Have those people caught up?"
Because of what Cody and Bacchus told him, he had just restrained his force in slashing. The gangsters suffered only flesh wounds, which did not affect the activities too much.
"No, meow." Sanji raised his ears and listened carefully for a while, then replied with certainty.
The group of gangsters were a little weak, but they were not stupid. They knew that they had hit an iron plate, so they would not come to trouble Xie Wen again.
What a shame!
Xie Wen smacked his lips and could only continue walking back.
And when he carried Maomao back to the bustling street, many people cast surprised looks at him, obviously not expecting that he could escape from the Capone family unscathed.
But those people quickly retracted their gaze. No matter how Xie Wen did it, or whether the Capone family would continue to entangle him in the future, this matter was no longer something they could get involved in.
After returning to the hotel, Xie Wen told Cody in detail what happened to him when he went out.
"The Capone family?" Cody twirled the mustache on his lips, thoughtfully, "I think there is a high probability that you will encounter them."
Among the three major mafia families on Gures Island, Simente is a relatively old-school gangster whose overall behavior is focused on maintaining stability, while the Boisano family who invited Cody to come here are bent on joining the world government. route, they want to turn the Gurez Kingdom into a franchise country, so they are more disciplined in doing things. Only the Capone family is the purest gangster. As long as there is benefit, they dare to do anything, especially their boss Capone Becky. , cruel and capricious.
Cody's evaluation of Capone Becky and his men is that they are no different from those pirates.
Xie Wen fully agrees with this evaluation. After all, will the other party really become a pirate in the future, or will he be the "worst generation" at the same time as the protagonist Luffy?
"Will that be troublesome?" Bacchus asked worriedly.
"No, I would be more relieved if only the Capone family took action, and they also proposed to spend money to 'buy' Keli and Sanji." Cody explained: "This shows that they are most likely not targeting The conspiracy of us businessmen, coupled with the initiative of the Capone family, makes this matter completely feasible for the Boisno family who invited us to mediate."
Just as Xie Wen expected, the cooperation between the gangs is as fragile as toilet paper. Rather than the three families working together to control the country, it is better to say that they are restraining each other to prevent one family from becoming bigger.
However, just like the Joker was able to fool the gangsters there in Gotham, in many cases, it is easier for people who do things without scruples to win. In the setting of the comics, Capone Becky later became Xihai One of the five major underground forces.
But it was precisely because he acted so carelessly that he was hunted down by a group of enemies, so he had to go to sea with a group of men.
Xie Wen would think of this setting, and thanks to Cody mentioning Capone Becky's name, he could awaken many memories related to Capone Becky.
Although the Capone family will eventually become one of the five most powerful gangs in the West China Sea, Xie Wen is not too worried, because it will be several years before he reaches that point, and since the Capone family also offered to give money, Judging from the facts, the Capone family is still more concerned about the attitudes of their two allies, the Boisano and Simente families.
To take a step back, even if a fight really breaks out, Xie Wen is not vain at all.
Xie Wen, who has awakened his armed domineering spirit, is unlikely to lose to the future "Supernova Becky" in terms of strength. In addition, they also have Keli who is stronger than Xie Wen. Meow, and Keli Meow's ability perfectly countered Capone Becky...
Capone Becky, who ate the Fortress Fruit, has two major characteristics, one is that he hides soldiers in his body, and the other is that he transforms into a strong castle man. However, the number of people is simply not enough for Kelimao, a user with the burning fruit ability + a big bomb. It's meaningless, and the castle he transformed into, the full-size "big boss", will not be much harder than a chocolate wafer in the face of the ultra-high-temperature bouncing bomb enhanced by Keli Meow's ability.
In the next few days, Xie Wen should eat and sleep. During the day, he still took the two Ellu cats around the city. He even went to inaccessible places a few times again, but this time there was no The blind gangster came to "buy a cat", which made Xie Wen, who wanted to make some extra money, feel a little regretful.
On the other side, Cody didn't even ask the Boisano family to come forward, because the Capone family didn't come to the hotel to cause trouble for them at all. It seemed that they had given up.
Although this is not quite like Capone Becky's character, Cody doesn't feel that he is a well-known businessman and deserves special attention from the Capone family, so he only asked Xie Wen and others to do so when they were at the trade fair. Be careful, don't let the Capone family deliberately cause trouble.
"But there is no need to worry too much. There are people from the Boisno and Simente families, and they have to consider the reactions of other participants, so even if the Capone family really wants to cause trouble, they cannot go too far. .”
Time soon came to the day of the trade fair. Cody gave Xie Wen and the others one final reminder and left other guards in the caravan just in case. Then he took the strongest Bacchus and Xie Wen with him. Wen and the two cats went to the venue where the fair was held.
