After obtaining Yubashiri, Xie Wen had no intention of leaving Loguetown right away.
It was a famous tourist destination in the East Blue, after all. How could he justify not having a proper look around? Besides, he still had to supply Morgans with articles.
And so, with his newly acquired Yubashiri at his waist and two cats perched on his shoulders, Xie Wen strolled leisurely toward the Execution Platform at the very center of town, like those old men in the capital taking their pet birds out for a walk.
