I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

As the sun set and the sky darkened, the members of the investigation team that had entered Nine Snake Island returned to the ship.

Of course Hancock tried to keep them, but the cats still wanted to stay with Xie Wen more, so they naturally declined her kindness without hesitation.

Even Robin, who had spent the entire day in the palace reading documents, did not stay, but returned with the cats.

In addition, Boa Hancock and her two sisters also returned with the cats...

And judging from their appearance, they seem to be getting along quite well with Klee.

Xie Wen: ???!!!!!!

Although he knew that cats were very sociable, and that the little angel Klee was even more popular, didn't she dislike Hancock at first? How did their relationship suddenly improve? !

The moment the Dudu saw the three sisters, it quickly dived into the deck and disappeared.

"Brother Xie Wen, Ke Li is back, meow!"

(=`=)

Before Xie Wen could ask his doubts, the little doll had already crashed into his arms like a cannonball.

Xie Wen, who caught Klee, had no time to ask questions before he was pulled by the excited little puppet to share his experience on the island with him and three other cats, including Sharmi, who also did not go to the island. Huiyuan cat added some supplements from time to time, and...

To prevent the little fool Klee from accidentally letting the cat out of the bag.

Bai Xing, who had two fights today, was also eager to share. Even though she knew that Xie Wen and the others had watched the live broadcast, she still couldn't help but talk about her own mental journey.

On the other side, Sanji-Meow went into the kitchen immediately with the ingredients he had obtained today. After placing the small ornaments he had collected, Link-Meow also went into the kitchen to help.

As for the three uninvited Boa sisters...

It was actually Meowx who was entertaining them! Robin, who had been able to get along well with Hancock, seemed to have trouble getting a word in.

So...what happened on the island today?

Xie Wen felt like there was a cat scratching his heart, but he suppressed his curiosity and did not interrupt Klee's excited but rambling story...

Of course you should pamper your own cat.

Besides, maybe Klee could answer his questions herself as she was talking, so Xie Wen didn't have to be that anxious.

Unfortunately, the little doll chattered for a long time but didn't mention anything about Hancock.

After he patiently listened to what Klee and Shirahoshi had to say, and gave the two little girls sufficient feedback to cheer them up, Xie Wen finally asked the question that had been on his mind...

"What's the matter with them?"

Xie Wen pointed at the three Boa sisters who were still with Meowx, "Didn't you dislike them before?"

"You can't tell me. Klee promised Hancock to keep it a secret. We didn't even tell Shirahoshi and Huamei, meow!"

(`w≡`w)

The little puppet shook its head quickly, refusing to tell Xie Wen what had happened.

Huibara Cat also nodded, then raised a finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence.

Bai Xing on the side pouted unhappily: "They clearly discussed this with me at the beginning, but now they want to keep it a secret from me too. This is too much!"

"I'm sorry~ Klee has already promised Sister Hancock, Sister Shirahoshi, please don't be angry, meow~"

(=w=)

The little doll immediately jumped onto Shirahoshi's shoulder and rubbed its head against her face in a flattering manner.

The mermaid princess, who was originally soft-hearted, soon calmed down after the cat's coquetry and started to laugh and play with her.

Xie Wen rubbed his chin thoughtfully...

It’s actually not a big deal to be able to change Klee’s attitude, but even Haibara and Meowx didn’t care about Hancock bullying the cat before, and they even took the initiative to keep it a secret for her. I guess it was only that incident, right?

Xie Wen, who had read the comics, easily guessed the truth of the matter. After all, the only thing about Hancock that really needed to be kept secret was the slave mark of the Celestial Dragon.

"Brother Xie Wen..."

(=w=)

After comforting Shirahoshi, Klee sneaked back to Xie Wen's side and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Sister Hancock has promised Klee that she will no longer bully cats and other small animals, so please stop hating her, okay? She is actually very pitiful, but Klee wants to keep it a secret for her, so she can't tell you."

Sure enough, it was that incident...

After hearing what the little puppet said, Xie Wen became more certain of what was going on.

only……

How did these little cats sneak away and take a look at Hancock's body right under Huameimao's nose?

Xie Wen reached out and rubbed Keli Miao's little head, feeling somewhat envious...

After all, she is the most beautiful pirate. It would be too fake to say that she has no evil thoughts at all. She is not some enlightened monk who has seen through the world.

Shaking his head to dispel the envy in his heart, Xie Wen hesitated for a moment, then asked vaguely, "Is it about the mark?"

"Meow!"

∑(=⊙Д⊙=)

Keli's eyes widened instantly, "How did Brother Xie Wen know that?!"

On the contrary, Huiyuan Miao looked calm.

"That special source of yours again, meow?"

"Ahem... uh... yes."

Xie Wen was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

Hmm, it seems this excuse has been used a bit too much. Even cats have learned to answer questions quickly.

While Xie Wen was playing charades with the cats, Bai Xing, who had just been calmed down by Klee, was angry again...

"Too much! Very much! Am I the only one who doesn't know?!"

The "little" mermaid stared at Xie Wen and Klee with a look of grievance, tears already welling up in her eyes.

"That's not right~ We are also confused by what you said, meow~ Thank you, dear Wen, why don't you explain it to meow?"

(==)

Xia Ermi, who was lying on Xie Wen's shoulder, licked his ear and asked curiously.

Miao Julang and Miao Erya also cast inquiring glances at Xie Wen in sync...

After all, they are all cats, and they are very curious.

"Uh... this is..."

Xie Wen suddenly felt a little bit confused.

He didn't want to hide it from the other cats, but Klee had just promised Hancock to keep it a secret, so he naturally didn't want to ruin his little angel's story.

"Can you tell me...how did you know about this?"

Just when Xie Wen was in a dilemma, Hancock and her two sisters came over on their own initiative, but the faces of the three of them were not very good...

In fact, after getting on the ship, Hancock has been secretly paying attention to Klee. Although she is willing to believe the cats' promises, that is the dark past that the three sisters cannot bear to look back on, and it is impossible for her to ignore it.

But what Hancock never expected was that Xie Wen actually knew about this a long time ago.

If it were just this, Hancock could actually barely accept it. After all...

She couldn't beat Xie Wen.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xie Wen once freed slaves in the Sabaody Archipelago, so Hancock is still willing to believe him, just like she believed in Klee and the others before.

But what really makes Hancock uneasy is that if the "special source of intelligence" mentioned by Huiyuan Miao also tells this secret to other people...

Just thinking about this possibility made Hancock feel cold all over.
