I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Just when Shiki's preparations for more than ten years were criticized by Huiyuan Cat as useless, and Shiki and Indigo were hit by the black-bellied kitten's venomous tongue and began to doubt their lives, Xie Wen still asked to go around and see Shiki's achievements...

This touched the two people who were almost in despair so much that they naturally met his request unconditionally.

Of course, Haibara Meow chose to continue staying in Shiqi's palace to study the magical plant IQ, and Meowerya also took the initiative to choose to stay and help.

Although Xiao Dejuan's research ability in pharmacology is relatively "average", that is compared with Huiyuan Miao and her own mechanical research and development capabilities, not to say that she is really average in this regard...

Anyway, it's better than Dr. Indigo.

As for the other members of the investigation team, they all followed Xie Wen out and wandered around.

Before he fell out with Shiki, Xie Wen didn't think that he would do anything to the two cats. He even wanted to worship Huiyuan Meowth, whose ability was obviously better than Dr. Indigo's "Cat Brain".

Besides, Haibara Meowth is surrounded by members of the "Brewery", Meowthya has a corps of guardians in her space bag, and she herself is a user of the natural Snow-Snow Fruit. Even if something unexpected really happens and causes Shiki to take action, they will not be in any danger even if they cannot defeat a "Golden Lion" whose strength has been greatly reduced.

……

"Sense the location of the village we saw earlier. Let's go over and take a look."

Xie Wen took off his gas mask after passing through the protective circle and said to Xia Ermi who was squatting on his shoulder.

"Okay meow~"

(=w=)

Because of the stench, Xia Ermi, who was still wearing a gas mask, answered in a muffled voice, then nudged Xie Wen's cheek twice with his head, and then silently spread out his observation Haki. After a moment, he pointed in a direction and continued to say in a muffled voice: "In that direction, meow~"

(=w=)σ

After moving forward in the direction pointed out by Xiaermi for more than ten minutes, Xie Wen and his companions heard a rustling noise not far away. Immediately afterwards, a huge beetle nearly the same size as the main body of the Dudu appeared in front of them.

"Well, it seems that we can no longer smell the scent of that tree here..."

Xie Wen glanced calmly at the menacing giant beetle and said to the cats around him, "Everyone can take off your masks now."

"oh--!"

(=＞＜=)

Klee quickly took off the mask on her face, then carefully twitched her nose twice. When she found that she did not smell the unpleasant odor, she immediately looked at the giant beetle in front of her with shining eyes, and started to make a fuss by pulling Xie Wen's ear.

"Brother Xie Wen, Brother Xie Wen, let's catch a few big bugs and take them home to raise for fun, okay?!"

"Stop joking. Where does the Toot Toot have so much space for you to raise these things?"

Xie Wen knocked her little head unhappily, then looked at Sanji-nyan: "Can I eat it? Is it delicious?"

The little yellow cat looked disgusted: "You can eat them, but there are only a few edible parts of these insects, and the taste is average. The most important thing is that they usually have scent glands in their bodies, so it's hard to deal with them, meow."

(へ)

"In this case……"

Xie Wen pulled out Bai Nagi and casually swung out a huge flying slash, splitting the beetle that was rushing towards them in half.

"Next, I plan to quickly run through these islands. Do you want to follow me, or do you have other ideas?"

"Shirahoshi and I are going to go find some animals here to fight, meow!"

(=`=)

Meowx, who was the most restless, started yelling immediately.

"Eh?"

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Xing also nodded, "Yes! Last time in the Calm Belt, those animals just let me go. This time I want to really fight them!"

the mermaid said with determination, clenching her fists.

"Keli wants to follow Brother Xie Wen, meow~"

(=`=)

"It's the same for me, meow~"

(=w=)

The two clingy guys on my shoulders are still as clingy as ever.

"As Sister Charmi's guardian knight, of course I'll be wherever Sister Charmi is, meow!"

(=)

Anyway, they can follow Xie Wen and look for ingredients together, so there is no reason for the little yellow cat Sanjimiao to stay away from Sharmi.

"I'll follow you first, and we'll talk after we find any relics."

Robin stated calmly.

"Master Xie Wen, I want to stay too."

Baby-5, who had already discovered her own shortcomings when she was in Santa Mariejoa and had recently been trying to master the Armament Haki, spoke up.

Xie Wen would certainly not refuse such a request, and since she was acting with Meowx and the others, there was no need to worry about her encountering any danger.

As for the remaining cats, they all said that they had nothing they wanted to do apart from Xie Wen...

Mainly judging from the strength of the beetle just now, with the cats' strength, fighting these animals will not give them much training.

"Well... I'll stay and watch them too."

e=(o'=)

Hua Mei Miao sighed helplessly.

It would have been possible to let Kaido Meowth stay, but Xie Wen had other plans for him.

"What meow... Sister Huamei doesn't trust us meow!"

(=`h=)

Meowx muttered angrily, but didn't dare let Lord Xiang Feihu hear her complaints.

Bai Xing smiled and poked the sulking little blue cat with her finger: "It's not us. The only one who Huamei doesn't believe is you, Jinx... Oops!"

The mermaid princess, whose finger was bitten hard by Meowx, shook her hand vigorously, while the little crazy cat just hung on it and refused to let go, just like when he bit her tail before.

Xiang Feihu on the side: "..."

Sure enough, things were developing in the direction she least wanted to see. The originally well-behaved Bai Xing had become more and more naughty recently...

Why did this happen to meow? Not long ago, Shirahoshi was still very well behaved...

Hua Mei Miao fell into deep thought.

It seems that Shirahoshi started to become naughty after Xie Wen instigated her to scare King Neptune?

The culprit has been found! It's all that stupid admiral's fault, meow!

The furious Lord Xiang Feihu turned his head to look at Xie Wen, only to find that he had already run away with Robin and the other cats.

It’s because Xie Wen knows his cats too well.

When Xie Wen saw Hua Mei Miao showing a headache expression when looking at Bai Xing who was fighting with Meowx, he immediately smelled danger.

So, while Lord Xiang Feihu was still in deep thought, the alert Cang Lanxing immediately took Klee and the others and sneaked away.
