I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After collecting Shi Ji's inheritance, Xie Wen went to meet the indigenous people here again.

The situation is just as Haibara Cat speculated. Some indigenous people have indeed awakened the ability to fly, but unlike in the movie, those who have awakened only account for a very small part.

It is not known whether it was because Kaido Meowth supported the island in time and interrupted the evolution of others, or because the time was not right, and only a small number of indigenous people with higher "IQ values" were able to awaken.

But with the examples of these pioneers, plus Huibara Cat's speculation, the rest of the people will most likely be able to learn how to fly as long as they try jumping from high places a few more times in the future.

Well, provided you don’t fall to death.

In this way, Xie Wen seemed to know how to arrange them...

After roughly telling these almost isolated indigenous people about the situation in the outside world and asking for their opinions, Xie Wen called Morgans.

He actually considered letting the Revolutionary Army arrange for them, but considering that these people had no combat effectiveness and had never been oppressed by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, there was really no need to involve them in the Revolutionary Army's cause.

However, given their characteristics as "winged people", they are easily targeted by slave traders, so they still have to find a backer for them.

After much thought, Morgans, who is also a "birdman", is more suitable.

In fact, there was another option, which was to send them to a higher sky island, but this group of people refused because they did not want to completely leave their hometown, even though it had been moved around by Ski and now fell into the doldrums.

So, in the end, some of them chose to settle down in the doldrums, while others joined the World Economic Association to work for Morgans.

"...That's what happened. Please come as soon as possible. Oh, and bring me a permanent pointer to the Mechanical Island Balkimoa while you're here."

"Wait wait wait wait..." Morgans on the other end of the Den Den Mushi digested what Xie Wen just said, "You killed the Golden Lion Shiki?! The only captain of the Flying Pirates who escaped from Impel Down and once pushed Roger into a desperate situation?!"

This birdman's focus, as always, is always on these "big news".

"Well, his strength has dropped a lot, and he can't even use his Haki. Let alone me, any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea except Moria can defeat him."

"Hey hey hey..."

A certain media person who likes to stir up trouble laughed slyly.

Xie Wen: "..."

If he guessed correctly, the birdman Morgans would definitely not mention the decline in the strength of "Golden Lion" Shiki when reporting.

Well, even if Shiki was in his prime, if he and the cats rushed at him, he would most likely not be able to withstand it. At most, he would not be able to kill him and he would escape, so Morgans just had to hide it.

Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was too lazy to argue with him. He just urged him to come as soon as possible and hung up the phone...

He has other things to do!

First of all, it is about two special plants: IQ and Daft-Green.

Because Daft-Green is not only poisonous, but also has a bad smell that cats don't like, the transplantation work can only fall on Xie Wen and other humans. And before that, they have to build an enclosed garden on the Dudu to accommodate them, otherwise the other cats will not be able to bear it.

In fact, if Daft-Green's toxins weren't so unique, Gray Cat wouldn't really want to transplant them.

"That Indigo is such an idiot. For so many years, he never thought of using the spores of this tree to develop toxins. Although the destructive power is not as strong as those of evolved animals, the lethality is definitely not inferior, meow."

(へ)

Huiyuan Miao squatted on Xie Wen's shoulder, directing him to build the garden while complaining with disdain.

"That's right, and they have the only antidote in their hands, which they can use to coerce."

Robin, who was using the power of her fruit to help transport materials, nodded and echoed some terrible ideas, scaring the "winged people" who came to help.

In addition to Daft-Green, IQ also needs to build a special nursery.

Because according to the research on the gray cat, its IQ, which can promote the evolution of other organisms, has very poor adaptability. If placed in an ordinary environment, it will not die immediately, but it will be difficult for new plants to survive.

According to the little cat's prediction, if left alone, the IQ on the island would be completely extinct in just two or three years.

It is impossible for Dudu to fly in the sky all the time, so it is naturally necessary to build a greenhouse that simulates the high-altitude environment to grow IQ.

Although there is already a similar greenhouse on the Dudu, it was previously used to transplant sky island plants, and the simulated environment is different from what IQ needs, so it is naturally impossible to transplant IQ directly into it.

Xie Wen also asked the indigenous people on the island whether he wanted to help them build a greenhouse specifically for cultivating IQ, but they refused.

Their thoughts are actually quite understandable. They are probably afraid that someone like Shiki will target IQ again. Although there is no such proverb as "the man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure" in the world of pirates, the principle is the same.

In addition to transplanting the two plants, there is actually another important thing, which is to summon new cats.

But there are other people on the island after all, and they have all met the entire investigation team. Although Xie Wen doesn't think they will betray him, the steady Cang Lanxing still decides to play it safe and wait for Morgans to come and hand over to him and leave the island before summoning new partners.

While waiting for Morgans, Xie Wen curiously ran to ask Huibara Cat if they could also evolve any special abilities if they started taking IQ now.

However, the kitten shook his head, breaking Xie Wen's fantasy...

"Shiki and his team were able to use twenty years to promote the evolution of these animals because their life cycles are relatively short. Otherwise, why do you think these natives have lived here for so many years but have not evolved even the ability to fly?"

(`w≡`w)

"Huh? Isn't it because they don't eat enough?"

Xie Wen still had some hope.

Superpowers! And they can be obtained without eating devil fruits. How can we not be excited?

Moreover, a devil fruit can only be eaten once, but IQ can potentially allow a person to evolve multiple abilities. Even if the strength may be slightly inferior, it does not mean that you cannot eat devil fruits after eating IQ.

It’s a pity that Huibara Cat shattered his fantasy once again.

"That's just one of the reasons, and it's not the main reason, meow."

╮(=ΦwΦ=)╭

The kitten spread his hands and continued to explain, "Even if they eat less, their evolved abilities have already manifested, which means that they have basically reached the standard in terms of accumulation. And didn't someone just awaken the ability to fly? This also proves that they don't need to consume IQ anymore, meow."

"Then it's basically impossible for us to evolve special abilities through this thing?"

"Well, unless I find some new catalyst later, you'll have to wait at least 50 to 60 years to evolve your abilities, in the most optimistic scenario, meow."

(=`ー=)

Huibara Miao crossed her arms and seriously extinguished Xie Wen's last bit of fantasy.

After waiting for fifty or sixty years, Joy Boy will probably have reached the third generation. Instead of having the free time, he might as well find a devil fruit to eat and then learn from Kaido to overcome the effects of sea water and seastone on himself.

Xie Wen curled his lips and finally gave up.

……

Morgans arrived quickly.

Although he, the user of the Albatross Fruit, cannot fly (as announced to the public), the headquarters of the World Economic Forum can fly. Moreover, as a media giant that can spread news to the whole world in a short period of time, its mobility naturally cannot be too poor.

So less than half a day after the call ended, Morgans appeared in front of Xie Wen on a flying ship.

This is the ship...

"Hahahahahaha! I used a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to get this from the World Government!"

Morgans said proudly as he patted the copycat version of the Sky Comet Dragon airship that had already landed.

Xie Wen: "..."

By the way, Morgans seems to have never seen the appearance of the Dudu Sky Comet Dragon with his own eyes.

"Don't you know that the World Government got this technology from me?" Xie Wen held his forehead helplessly and said, "If you want the 'Sky Comet Dragon', just come to me directly."

Morgans: "...My money!!!"

After halfheartedly comforting Morgans, an emo, and introducing him to the group of "winged people", Xie Wen decisively ran away with the cats.

And when he was leaving, he even had the fun of switching the Toot to the form of the Sky Comet Dragon. The obviously more majestic posture and superior speed made the already emo Morgans feel depressed again.

However, after flying for a distance, the Dudu quickly landed again.

Zamogenis's heart is just a small episode, the really important thing is to summon new companions.

Xie Wen took out the off-white Puchi summoning ticket that he had synthesized long ago, and then silently said in his heart: "Elu Cat, summon!"

There was no surprise afterwards. The summoning ticket in his hand turned into a light spot and dissipated as before, and then...

"Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling..."

This time, Xie Wen and the others didn't have to wait too long for the summoning. Soon, a large number of bubbles appeared on the sea surface to the right of the Dudu. The movement was a bit similar to the one when Hua Mei Miao was summoned.

A moment later, a black and white Felyne cat flew up from the bottom of the sea as if it was pushed by something, and then landed on the deck with a "plop".

In addition, this little guy, who was most likely a cow cat, was holding a fishing rod tightly in his hand, but only the head of the fish hanging on it was left, and the body had been bitten off by something.

"Pfft, cough, cough!"

The cow cat that fell on the deck twitched twice, coughed up a few mouthfuls of sea water, and then staggered to its feet.

°(`w≡`w)°

After quickly shaking its head and body, this careless cow cat didn't even bother to check its surroundings, and immediately looked at its fishing rod...

"My fish! I spent a month fishing to catch this fish, meow!"

barley

The little cow cat let out a piercing howl that made anyone sad and cry, and then fell to its knees on the deck with a plop.

"Unfortunate meow!!!"
