I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

???

(=w=)

Seeing Hancock's back, Klee scratched her head in confusion.

The little puppet couldn't understand why there was anything to hide about a pattern that looked a bit like the cat's paw prints of their investigation team.

Just as Klee was wondering, Haibara and Meowx, who followed her into the room, also came to her side.

Like the little ragdoll, the little crazy cat and the little kitten couldn't understand what was so hidden about this thing after seeing the strange pattern.

Meowx, who originally wanted to take a picture of the "moss" behind him and publish it in the newspaper to teach Hancock a lesson, was even more disappointed.

"who?!"

Hancock, who was washing her hair, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.

The kittens were still possessed by the empty souls, so Hancock didn't actually notice them. However, the two "devil fruits" hanging on the gray cat that could not possess the empty souls were still hanging on it...

Although their presence is not very strong, they are so close that Hancock can still feel them with her strength.

"Oops... I've been discovered, meow."

(=＞＜=)

Klee touched the back of her head and stuck out her tongue mischievously.

At this time, she didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

Then the next second, a heart-shaped pink light shone towards them...

"Sweet Ganfeng!"

"Meow?"

In her haste, Hancock forgot that in the eyes of the cats, she, the world's most beautiful woman, was no different from other humans...

In some ways, she may even be worse than Big Mom and her weird-looking daughters.

"Royal sister!" "Royal sister, what happened?!"

At this moment, Santasonia and Marigold, who heard the noise outside the door, rushed in, and then they saw three little cats standing by the bathtub and confronting Hancock...

"Why are you here?!"

The two of them were numb instantly.

Not to mention Meowx, who defeated Marigold in the ring, they also knew about Klee, who had been in the newspapers several times and was very popular with her cute appearance...

She is the most troublesome natural fruit ability user!

And the most important thing is that these little kittens are not affected by the sweet fruit at all. It can be said that they are naturally restraining their royal sister.

Not to mention that in addition to these three cats, there are more cats outside, as well as Xie Wen from the "Blue Star" who is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and whose strength is even greater than Hancock.

Therefore, now it is not a question of whether or not to silence them, but a question of whether they can do it.

"Why are you so angry?"

(=w=)

Klee, who sensed the emotions of the three Boa sisters, became more and more confused, because in addition to anger, she also sensed other emotions.

Fear, worry, sadness, confusion, pain...

The last time the little puppet felt such complex emotions was when Zou's Cat Viper and Inuarashi were broken by Xie Wen.

Because of the emotional reactions of the three Boa sisters, the little angel Klee didn't care about Hancock's bullying of the kittens before. She slowed down her tone and apologized, "I'm sorry, we were just curious about the curse, so we sneaked in... Don't be angry, okay?"

(=w=)

After firing a round of sweet wind, Hancock gradually calmed down. Knowing that she had no way to deal with these cats, she was silent for a moment, then collapsed to the ground as if she had lost all her strength, and sobbed softly while hugging her legs.

“Don’t cry…” Seeing Hancock’s expression, the little puppet panicked. She trotted to Hancock’s side, patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: “Kelly promised you that she would not tell anyone else about the pattern on your back, meow.”

After looking at each other, Huiyuan Meow and Meowx also said: "Yes, yes, we will keep it a secret for you, meow!"

Given the personalities of these two little cats, they naturally wouldn't be like Klee, who would change her attitude just because Hancock dropped a few pearls. But since Klee has already expressed her stance, they, as older sisters, can only accompany her.

The other thing is...

Now that they have all been discovered, in order to avoid being punished by Lord Xiang Feihu afterwards, it is also necessary to establish a good relationship with Hancock and prevent her from going to Hua Meimiao to complain.

As the saying goes, sincerity is the greatest killer move.

Little angel Klee can always make people clearly feel her kindness, and Hancock is no exception.

"This pattern... is called the Hoof of the Celestial Dragon. It is the emblem of the Celestial Dragons... It is branded on the body of every person raised by the world's nobles. It is proof of being an 'inferior race' that cannot be erased in a lifetime..."

After gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she frankly told the cats the origin and meaning of the pattern on her back.

"Dragon people!"

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

The little puppet suddenly realized, "Keli heard from Brother Xie Wen that they are a group of bad and troublesome bad guys! So you have been bullied by them?"

"No wonder your attitude towards us suddenly became better. Is it because we released those slaves in the Sabaody Archipelago before?"

Huibara Meowth also nodded with a look of understanding.

"Yes," Hancock opened her heart and no longer spoke stubbornly, "We three sisters were rescued from the Celestial Dragons, so after learning that Blue Star also released the slaves, we no longer hate you..."

"Humph! Even if you hold a grudge against us, we're not afraid. You can't beat us anyway, meow!"

(=`へ=)

Meowx crossed her arms and pouted indifferently.

Hancock, who was originally immersed in dark memories and was emo, was choked by her and his emotions became a little incoherent.

"..."

After looking at the little blue cat that had upset her mood speechlessly, Hancock calmed down and continued, "Come to think of it, the person who saved me has some relationship with you and Jinbe... He is the founder of the Sun Pirates, the fish-man adventurer Fisher Tiger. The tattoo of the Sun Pirates is actually to cover up the hoof prints of the Sky Dragon on the bodies of the rescued fish-men."

"Oh! I heard Shirahoshi mention this guy!" Meowx nodded in agreement, "He's a very remarkable guy, meow."

"Brother Xie Wen also mentioned this fishman named Tiger to Klee, meow!" The little puppet added, "Brother Xie Wen also said that if he hadn't died, he would actually be more suitable to be the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom than Uncle Neptune, meow!"

Among the three kittens, Huiyuan was the more reliable. She did not follow the other two in thinking, but asked curiously, "Why don't you follow the example of the Sun Pirates and cover the mark with a new pattern? It's not a difficult thing."

(=w=)

"Because... I don't want, and I don't dare, to let others see this mark..."

Hancock hugged herself tightly, curled up into a ball, and replied with a trembling voice: "I'm afraid that this secret will be leaked from other people's mouths, so I would rather use the excuse of the Gorgon Curse to prevent others from seeing my back. Besides... covering it with the mark again will also make me recall the dark past that I don't want to touch at all..."

“Wow…Wow—!!! Aa ...

As Hancock spoke, Santasonia seemed to recall her tragic experience. The psychological trauma was triggered and she held her head and wailed.

"Sister Sonya! Calm down!"

Marigorude quickly held down her second sister who was somewhat out of control, and at her call, Santasonia gradually calmed down.

"Those Tianlong people are just like what Brother Xie Wen said, they are a bunch of bad guys, meow!"

(=`h=)

Seeing the three Boa sisters like this and feeling the terrified emotions in their hearts, the little puppet puffed up his cheeks in indignation...

“If there’s a chance, Klee will blow them all up!”

"but……"

After speaking up for justice, Klee looked at Hancock seriously again.

(=vv=)

"Even though it's pitiful that you were bullied by them, it doesn't give you an excuse to bully other people and cats at will! If you do this, won't you become the same as those celestial dragons, meow?!"
