I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Before going out to see the beasts here, Xie Wen asked on behalf of Huiyuan Cat to take a look at the IQ first.

Having already promised, Shi Ji naturally had no intention of going back on his word, so he called over his first researcher and ship's doctor, Dr. Indigo.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

Accompanied by a series of strange footsteps, a guy wearing a white coat and a blue scarf with yellow spots came up to Xie Wen and the others.

Dr. Indigo looked normal in other aspects except for the clown makeup on his face and the pair of soft shoes that made strange noises.

Speaking of which, the funny clown look seems to be quite popular among pirates. Except for Buggy, who was born with a red nose and whom Xie Wen didn't meet, he has met several pirates who deliberately made up themselves to look like clowns.

"Indigo, please take our future allies to visit IQ and your laboratory."

Then the ship's doctor with clown makeup began waving his hands and gesticulating.

"What do you want to say?!"

As always, Shiqi failed to understand.

Just as Indigo was about to explain, Klee, who was squatting on Xie Wen's shoulder, tilted her head and answered, "Is this strange old man trying to tell us to be careful not to mess up his lab?"

"…You actually understood it?!"

After a moment of silence, Indigo held his head with his hands and shouted in shock.

"You can actually talk!" Shi Jixian habitually complained about him, and then he was also shocked: "She actually understood it correctly?!"

“Although this uncle’s facial expressions and movements are not as intuitive as Link’s, Klee can still understand them! Klee is so smart!”

(=`=)

The little puppet put his hands on his hips and raised his head proudly.

From what Klee said, she was used to Link's way of "speaking" only with expressions, so she was able to understand Indigo's strange actions by analogy?

But doesn't this guy even know what his actions mean? And I've been chatting with Link-meow a lot, so why can't I understand?

Xie Wen looked at the other cats with a confused look on his face and found that they all had similar expressions to his, even Link the Cat.

"Thank you, Boss Wen. I can understand what this uncle is saying!"

Shirahoshi jumped out and said with an excited look on his face.

Well, it seems that it is the credit of the seeing and hearing color, or more precisely, the so-called "listening to the sounds of all things".

After listening to Klee's explanation, Shiki and Indigo subconsciously looked at Link...

(In)

“I actually understood it too!”

"This little kitty curses so filthy! I'm not just performing randomly!"

After forcibly defending himself, Indigo immediately fell to his knees in a frustrated posture, and pounded the ground with his fists in anger.

"Damn it! My personal characteristics actually lost to a cat!"

(=benefit)

The expression on Link's face became more and more disgusted...

He doesn't want to be compared with this guy who looks funny and has a not-so-smart brain, meow!

"Xie Wen, when are we going to see IQ?"

(In)

Although the antics of Shiki and Indigo were quite amusing, Huibara, who had entered research mode, was not interested at all. The little kitten tugged at Xie Wen's trouser leg and asked in a very unhappily tone.

After the kitten's reminder, everyone finally returned to the main topic. Led by Dr. Indigo's "puff puff" footsteps, everyone soon came to an indoor flower bed full of pink and white flowers.

"IQ Cat is this? It's a very direct and appropriate name..."

(=vv=)

Huibara Cat picked one and placed it in front of him to examine it carefully.

This plant called IQ has pink and white flowers, but unlike most flowers, this flower does not have petals, or rather, its petals are a whole sphere.

There is a round opening on the spherical petals with a circle of pink on the edge of the opening, and a long pink stamen sticking out from the opening like a tongue. From the front, it looks like a pink "Q".

Klee also came over curiously, poked her head behind her and said, "These flowers look so interesting, Sister Ai, can we plant some on the boat too?"

(=ΦwΦ=)

"Mmmmmmm..."

The kitten, who had already entered the research state, responded absentmindedly a few times, then quickly took out five cylindrical instruments the size of cans from his pocket, arranged them in front of him, and then used tweezers to remove a small piece of tissue from IQ's leaves, roots, stems, petals and stamens, and put them into these round cans.

"Isn't this the latest model of portable component analyzer?!"

Indigo, who knew the business, shouted in a trembling and unbelievable voice: "The price of this thing is comparable to that of a devil fruit, and most people can't buy it. You actually have five?! And they are special models specially adapted to your body shape!"

There was a hint of jealousy in his voice.

After all, although Shiki was already a world-famous pirate twenty years ago, he was eventually caught by the navy, and he has been hiding for nearly twenty years, so he is somewhat short of funds.

Of course he could still afford the research on IQ, but he couldn't provide the most advanced equipment. What's more, many of the equipment could only be obtained through the World Government, which made it even more difficult for Shiji.

So for the past twenty years, Indigo could only drool at the research equipment that was constantly being updated.

As a result, the little cat in front of me could easily produce five of the good things that I had been longing for...

It’s a special edition!

How could Indigo not be jealous in this situation?

"Because we made this ourselves, it doesn't cost any money, meow."

(=`=)

Because it takes some time to wait for the analysis results, Huiyuan Cat has time to respond.

"I, I did it myself?!" Indigo couldn't remain calm anymore, "But, isn't this the World Government's technology? Even if Xie Wen is one of the Shichibukai, he can't get it, right?!"

"Oh, that's because we've been to Punk Hazard before. That was the original base of the World Government's scientific forces and also Vegapunk's former research institute."

Seeing that Huiyuan Miao was already busy recording data, Xie Wen took over the conversation and answered for her: "There was an experimental accident there and it was covered with a large amount of poisonous gas, so the World Government directly abandoned it. And because it was a sudden incident, there were many equipment and materials that were not taken away in time. This analyzer drawing was found there."

After listening to Xie Wen's explanation, Indigo was so envious that tears came to his eyes. Without saying a word, he slid down to his knees and hugged Xie Wen's thighs.

"Thank you, Master Wen! Please join forces with Master Shiki! Or... do you, the Felyn Survey Team, still need a ship doctor?!"

"I'm still here!"

Skye slapped Indigo on the back of the head and yelled in frustration.

However, while he was angry, he was also looking forward to joining forces with Xie Wen.

I thought Xie Wen's joining would only add a few high-end combat forces, but I didn't expect that it could also improve the technological level on my side.

Sure enough, using "Ying Shi" and "Mu Ku" to win over Xie Wen was the right move!

Shi Ji, who had been a little reluctant before, was now considering whether he should take off the two swords on his legs and put them directly into Xie Wen's arms.
