I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Excuse me, is Dr. Kuleha here?"

Based on the clues provided by the villagers, Xie Wen came to the forest near the lakeside town. He used his observation Haki to quickly find a big tree with doors and windows among the trees. Then he walked forward and knocked on the door.

Early the next morning, after sending Huamei Cat to the Magnetic Drum Castle to manage the daily routines of the two scientific research cats, Xie Wen took Keli Cat and Xiaer Mi to continue strolling around the Magnetic Drum Island.

Together with them are Robin, who wants to continue exploring the history of Drum Island, and Shirahoshi and her big sister Meowth, who finally overcame the cold climate.

As for how Shirahoshi overcomes the cold...

Because both scientific cats were obsessed with medical research on Drum Island, Kaido Cat knitted her a warm fishtail sweater overnight.

To be honest, Xie Wen just found out that Kaido Meow actually has this skill.

In short, after solving the problem of the tail's inability to resist freezing, Shirahoshi, who has been committed to promoting to the world the idea that Fishman Island wants to coexist peacefully with humans, immediately applied to Xie Wen to go to the island together.

Xie Wen naturally would not discourage the enthusiasm of the "little" mermaid, and took her and Meowx along as well.

When heading to Magnetic Drum Castle, White Star was unable to experience the special cable car here because of his large size.

But this is not a bad thing. After all, if the current Shirahoshi saw Wapol's terrible way of governing the country, the "little" mermaid would definitely be like Robin, and would not be able to help but hit him with the fish-man karate that she has been practicing very hard recently...

Of course, precisely because they couldn't take Shirahoshi with them on the cable car, Xie Wen and his team couldn't use the cableways leading to various towns to quickly light up the map of Magnetic Drum Island.

Fortunately, they had plenty of time, so Xie Wen took Maomao and the "little" mermaid and followed the roads opened up by the villagers here, visiting one town after another. While opening the map, he also let Shirahoshi do her job as the "image ambassador of Fishman Island."

It’s a pity that under the oppression of Wapol, the Drum Kingdom has no time to care about other things. The reason they gathered together to listen to Shirahoshi’s nagging was purely because of Xie Wen’s identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Shirahoshi, who sensed this with her observation Haki, could only helplessly stop her useless efforts.

However, Bai Xing, who has always been kind, did not ask Xie Wen to punish Wapol. Not only because she had some understanding of this matter after her experience, but also because Bai Xing had encountered many countries with similar situations during the time she followed Xie Wen, so she also knew Xie Wen's backup plan.

After Bai Xing canceled the speech, Xie Wen and his friends suddenly sped up, and as they strolled around, they arrived at the lakeside town called Kesda.

Originally, Xie Wen was planning to wait until Haibara Nyanko and the others had finished learning the medical skills of "Doctor 20" before bringing them to see Dr. Kuleha, but now that they've met, he might as well pay them a visit.

That’s why the scene at the beginning happened.

"Huh? Someone actually found this place?" An old lady's voice came from the tree house. "Is someone seriously ill?!"

As they were talking, the door of the tree house was quickly opened, and an old woman dressed fashionably and holding a bottle of wine in her hand appeared in front of Xie Wen and the others.

Although she has white hair and wrinkles on her face, Dr. Kuleha is in no way inferior to young women like Robin and Hancock in terms of figure. Her skin quality is also so good that she doesn't look like a centenarian, so she says she can stay young forever...

It's not entirely bragging.

"Blue Star? How come a big shot like you would come to an old man like me who lives in seclusion?"

After seeing Xie Wen and the cats around her, Dr. Kuleha's pupils shrank rapidly, but soon returned to her original unruly appearance, but a hint of nervousness could still be heard in her words.

after all……

She actually calls herself an old lady!

You know, in the comics, Luffy was kicked away by Dr. Kuleha just because he called her "grandmother-in-law".

Sure enough, when they are strong enough, most people will choose to speak nicely.

He shook his head gently to dispel the scattered thoughts in his mind, then Xie Wen bowed politely to the other party and explained his purpose.

"The doctors of our Felynx Investigation Team heard that the medical technology of the Drum Kingdom is very advanced, so they came here to exchange ideas. I heard that in addition to Doctor 20 beside Wapol, your medical skills are also extraordinary, so I came here to say hello. I hope you can give me some advice."

"...You said that you would let that little girl named Huiyuan Ai treat other people for free in the Drum Kingdom. Is this true?"

It is obvious that the old lady Kuleha is not only paying attention to what is happening in Cigu, but also has some knowledge of information outside the island.

"Of course," Xie Wen nodded, then he remembered that the other party seemed a little greedy for money, and said, "If you think that doing this will reduce your income, I can compensate you, just as Xiao Ai's tuition."

“Hahahahaha!” Kuleha, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly relaxed. She laughed and took a sip of wine. “That little girl’s ability to cure patients is her ability. I don’t need any compensation!”

Hmm? This performance is different from what the villager said...

Seeing Xie Wen's surprised look, Dr. Kuleha sneered, "You have heard from people in the town that I forcibly charge fees, right? I have never charged them more for consultations, and I even give them discounts in many cases! It's just that those people don't understand medicine at all, and they always think that I'm cheating them."

Xie Wen still believed what she said.

The people of Magnetic Drum were not very wealthy to begin with due to the oppression of Wapol, and Wapol almost monopolized the country's medical resources. Kuleha's pharmaceutical costs must be much higher than usual. With this increase and decrease, the villagers would naturally feel that Kuleha's charges were high.

The most important thing is that with this old woman's unruly style of doing things her own way, she obviously won't have the patience to explain things to others, which naturally makes it easier for misunderstandings to occur.

"I didn't expect that the World Government's newspaper would actually tell the truth sometimes."

As if sensing Azure Star's good quality of being kind to others, Dr. Kuleha couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Then, she reached out and patted Xie Wen on the shoulder, saying the catchphrase that Xie Wen still remembered clearly after traveling through time: "You asked your ship's doctor to come to me to learn medical skills. Do you want to know the secret of my eternal youth?"

Xie Wen first pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly, but then his eyes fell on the bottle of wine in Kuleha's hand...

"Actually, I'm really interested!" Xie Wen's face turned serious, and he replied seriously: "Whitebeard is about half your age, and he is also an alcoholic, but he already gives people the feeling that he is running out of energy and has only a few years left to live. So I'm really curious about how you can maintain such a healthy body while drinking all the time."

Although Xie Wen also knew that Whitebeard's current physical condition had little to do with alcoholism, it was mainly because there were too many hidden injuries accumulated in his body.

The bodies of people in the pirate world are much more durable than those of the fragile earthlings. For example, the old smoker Xia Qi, although she is over 60 years old, still maintains a young face.

However, the most special thing about Kuleha is that her strength is actually very average, and she has not mastered Haki, but the activity level of her life breath is higher than that of her "grandchildren" such as Garp and Whitebeard.

However, before Dr. Kuleha could answer, a scream was heard behind Xie Wen.

"What?! Father Whitebeard is about to die?!"
