I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After leaving Chape and others on Fordwetian Island, Xie Wenzhi asked other members of the investigation team if anyone wanted the power of the Sakura Dragon Fruit.

And not surprisingly, even the Phantom Beast is no different from other Devil Fruits in the eyes of cats.

However, Bai Xing was slightly moved, because Xie Wen had just told her the story of the carp jumping over the dragon gate not long ago, but when she thought about being unable to swim after eating the devil fruit, Bai Xing finally chose to give up.

After all, the most famous thing about mermaids is their swimming speed. Being unable to swim would be too bad for Shirahoshi.

"Since no one wants it, why not give it to me and study it, meow!"

(=ΦwΦ=)

Haiyuan Miao, who has not given up yet, spreads her small claws towards Xie Wen.

"Don't make trouble!" Xie Wen put away the Yinglong Fruit, slipped the little milk cat into his arms and rubbed it, "Didn't you already get the relevant information? I'm still waiting to use this fruit to summon new partners. Woolen cloth!"

"Although that's true, having a finished product for comparison can effectively speed up my research progress, meow!"

Haibara Miao retorted plausibly.

Although Xie Wen also knew that what she said was very reasonable, he still rejected her against the little milk cat's claws and teeth.

If it were an ordinary animal type, or even an ancient species, Xie Wen would have given it to him, but this is a species of phantom beast that is rarer than the natural type. It is the same model as Kaido. It is really inappropriate to give it to Haiyuan Miao for research. It's a pity.

Even if Xie Wen hadn't planned to keep it for the cats he summoned in the future, he would have wanted to chew the fruit.

After all, the green/sakura dragon fruit has a thick health bar, high defense, can fly, and masters the power of the three elements of thunder, fire, and wind. It is also the top one among the powerful fantasy beast species.

Except for Luffy's Nika Fruit, which is not very well-regarded, Xie Wen doesn't think they are better than the Blue Dragon Fruit, whether it is Marco's Phoenix, the Giant Buddha of the Warring States Period, or the vampires that only appear in the game. Even if the user is not Kaido.

You know, even the Celestial Dragons who casually feed Devil Fruit to their slaves use the Blue Dragon Fruit as prizes in their internal competitions, and its value is evident.

"Humph!"

With the relevant research information in hand, Haibara Miao is not particularly eager for the Sakura Dragon Fruit, and she also knows that although the Sakura Dragon Fruit is not popular among cats, it may still be very powerful.

but……

You still have to be angry, otherwise it will be too easy for idiot Xie Wen.

"Isn't it just an artificial devil fruit? I can make it myself, nya!"

(=`h=)

The arrogant little cat held Xie Wen's palm and took a bite, then slapped him on the forehead with a set of cat punches. Finally, he took out the recovery medicine 1306 from the black belly, and wanted to go to As he was pouring it into his mouth, he was stopped by Xie Wen, whose face instantly turned pale.

Haibara Miao, who failed to cast the "poison", took another bite from Xie Wen, then broke out of his arms with great enthusiasm, and slipped into the laboratory to study her "cat-made devil fruit".

……

As usual, Vergo took a walk in the base after lunch, but unlike his relaxed appearance on the surface, Vergo was very worried at this time.

After discovering that Robin was taken under Xie Wen's command, he not only notified Doflamingo as soon as possible, but also asked the superiors about relevant matters as he said at the time, but all he got was "ignore him." "Reply.

This further confirmed his speculation that "Blue Star has a deal with the World Government", which was not good news for Vergo who wanted to help Doflamingo become the Pirate King.

But because of his current status, it was difficult to do anything to Xie Wen openly.

Of course, Vergo also knew what Doflamingo was doing secretly, but he actually didn’t agree with this plan, because if Nico Robin was really snatched away by other big pirates, it would be very difficult for Doflamingo. Brother Langming's fight for the Pirate King is even more unfavorable...

At least Xie Wen doesn't seem to have any intention of becoming the Pirate King, right?

Of course, he also understood that Doflamingo did this mainly because he wanted to see if the World Government would take action in this situation. Whether they were helping or adding insult to injury, they could infer the true nature of the World Government. idea.

only……

Is it really worth it?

According to Vergo's opinion, it would be best for the Don Quixote family to take Nicole Robin away from Xie Wen before the news spreads.

Well, he still doesn't know what happened to Tenyasha being beaten up by two cats in Marineland. He thought that with the strength of their Don Quixote family, there would be no problem in dealing with Blue Star, the new Shichibukai. of.

As for the reaction of the World Government after snatching Nico Robin, Vergo is not worried at all. After all, their young master is a Celestial Dragon... even though he is a former one.

Maybe the young master has other considerations.

Although he didn't understand Doflamingo's choice, Vergo still supported his decision unconditionally.

As one of the earliest members of the Don Quixote family, Vergo always believed that Doflamingo, who had an amazing overlord look when he was just a child, would definitely become the Pirate King who rules the sea.

Ignoring the matters on Blue Star for now, he should first think about whether he can get more information from the navy...

"Lieutenant General, your face..."

Just as Vergo was lost in thought, an oncoming navy officer interrupted his thoughts and pointed at his cheek to remind him.

Vergo touched his cheek subconsciously, and a piece of bacon with a bite fell into his hand.

This is?

After a little recall, it turned out to be the lunch I had just eaten.

Vergo stuffed the uneaten piece of bacon into his mouth with a calm expression, then smiled and nodded to the navy who reminded him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you for the reminder. Are you Sergeant Willy?"

The navy, who was used to this kind of scene, twitched his lips, but still responded excitedly to the salute: "Yes! Lieutenant General!"

Although Vergo's affable personality has always been incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire G-5 base that is "less like a navy and more like a pirate", he is actually very loved by the navy in the base.

After all, for a spy like him, the more people he has good relationships with, the better he can disguise himself.

So although he was very unhappy with Sergeant Willy disturbing him, Vergo still maintained his amiable attitude and spent some time chatting with the other party. After the other party left with an excited face, he He regained his expressionless look.

But it seemed that he was destined not to think quietly today, because just when Vergo finished his walk and returned to his room to continue thinking without being disturbed by others, another marine rushed into the room. The door ran in.

"Vice Admiral Vergo! There is a pirate ship coming towards our base! Looking at the opponent's flag, it should be the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates!"

Vergo, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up, and then flashed in front of the marine. He didn't care about maintaining his previous persona, grabbed the other man's collar, and said again with a ferocious expression. Confirmed: "What did you say?!!!"
