I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

According to the records of Kojiki and Nihonshoki, Yamata no Orochi has eight heads and eight tails, with the head being the dragon's head and the tail being the snake's tail...

"Nyahahaha! Thanks, Ven! Kamijou-san feels like he's incredibly strong right now, nya!"

(=`=)

The Yamata-no-Orochi transformed from Touma's cat was now shaking its head and tail and meowing and laughing.

However, it is different from the records in the Kojiki and the beast form of Kurozumi Orochi. The Yamata-no-Orochi transformed by Touma Meow has eight heads that look a bit cat-like, but it has scales and horns and can barely be considered a dragon beast. However, the eight furry tails behind it look like cat tails no matter how you look at them...

In addition, the Yamata no Orochi fruit subspecies also has differences in color, just like the Sakura Dragon Fruit that Kaido Meow eats.

The original Yamata-no-Orochi was mainly green, with the main body's head being darker in color. However, the Yamata-no-Orochi that Touma Meowth transformed into had seven black subsidiary heads, with only the main body's head being white.

Of course, the difference that made Touma-neko most relieved was that although his head still looked a little silly after the transformation, it was not ugly, and there were no features of Kurozumi Orochi. With the eight pairs of cat ears that shook from time to time, it was even a little cute...

I can only say that cats are worthy of being the savior of appearance.

then……

Touma was so excited that he tied himself up in a knot.

"Help! Help! Help! Xie Wen! Help me, meow!"

(=Д`=)

With eight heads and eight tails entangled together in an incredible way, Touma-neko was now lying on the deck, struggling to jump, like a dying fish.

Unfortunately, the effect is minimal.

"You little fool..."

Xie Wen slapped his forehead helplessly.

It is said that a cat's body and tail are two different species. Now it has seven more tails and seven extra heads. Doesn't this scene seem too surprising?

Well, Touma’s “good luck” is naturally one of the main reasons.

“Stop making sarcastic remarks, meow!” Touma, whose figure was already close to that of a Chinese knot, meowed and jumped twice more. “Kamijo-san, I feel like his neck is cramping! All eight necks are meowing!”

"So... you won't undo your transformation?"

Xie Wen patted Touma's white head in annoyance.

"Eh?"

(=⊙⊙=)

The little idiot was stunned for a moment, then he realized it and cancelled his fruit ability, returning to the appearance of Felyne.

“Hahahaha! Touma-nii is so stupid! He actually got himself into a knot, meow!”

(==)

Klee and Dudu, who were originally on Xie Wen's shoulders and head, had already fallen off his body with laughter and were rolling on the deck with their hands on their bellies.

"You can't blame me for this, meow!" The embarrassed little cow cat quickly defended himself: "It feels very strange to have seven more perspectives all of a sudden. I can't control it all of a sudden, meow!"

The same old sayings followed one after another, such as "bad luck" and "misfortune", which made everyone laugh, and the Dudu was full of a happy atmosphere.

After some laughter, Dudu climbed back onto Xie Wen's head.

[Brother Xie Wen, we see an island ahead, should we speed up? ]

(=w=)

“Speed ​​up! Klee can’t wait to meet her new friends, meow!”

(=＞＜=)

Without waiting for Xie Wen to answer, the little doll started yelling immediately. She even took the initiative to run into the power room and jumped onto the flame power furnace that belonged to her.

"Beep! Turn on the Spark Knight Thrower, meow!"

Although the Dudu and Klee have the best relationship, as a ship elf, she is still very professional. After confirming that Xie Wen had no objection, she extended the Sky Comet Dragon Claws on both sides and raised the protective shield to prevent everyone on the deck (mainly Touma) from being blown away.

Then the next second, long flames spurted out from the claws and stern of the Dudu, and it rushed towards the island ahead.

The sea water spread out high from the bow to both sides, as if a sharp blade was splitting the sea surface.

With the help of Klee, the island that initially seemed only the size of a finger quickly enlarged in the field of vision of Xie Wen and his friends, and soon they arrived at the offshore area of ​​the island.

then……

The little puppet failed to control his strength, and the Dudu rushed directly onto the shore, destroying most of the other person's dock.

"Oh no! Blue Star is attacking us!!!"

After being stunned for a moment, the people on the dock suddenly fled in all directions, loudly warning other people in the town as they ran.

Xie Wen: "..."

"Hey~"

(=＜=)

Knowing that she was in trouble, Klee knocked her little head and acted cute towards Xie Wen.

What could Xie Wen do? Since it was his own little cat that had caused the trouble, of course he could only forgive her.

He glanced in the direction of the town in the distance and saw the pirate flag of the Hundred Beasts hanging on the tallest building. No wonder these people reacted so dramatically.

However, this place should be like those islands outside the Ten Thousand Kingdoms that pay tribute to BIG MOM with delicious food. It should be a subsidiary force of the Beasts, and there should not be any people from the Beasts stationed here.

In other words, with those people being scared away, no one will come to disturb them for a while.

This is a good opportunity to summon a new Felyne...

Anyway, this is the only way Xie Wen can comfort himself.

Originally, he thought it would be best to find an uninhabited island to perform the summoning, but it had been so many days since he left Wano Country before he came across the first island. Even if Xie Wen was not in a hurry, the cats would be anxious.

After knocking on Klee's little head in annoyance, Xie Wen took out the Felynn summoning ticket from the weapon pool...

I hope the noise will be smaller this time.

"Are we finally going to start summoning new Felynes?"

Just as Xie Wen was about to summon, Yamato came over excitedly and asked, "Can I summon with this piece of paper? Can I try?"

Since Yamato was allowed to join the Felynx Investigation Team, Xie Wen and the others naturally had no intention of hiding it from her, so she was actually looking forward to this summoning more than Klee.

"Only I can use this thing. Klee and Sanji tried it before, but there was no reaction."

Xie Wen knew that this guy would not give up easily, so he took the initiative to hand over the summoning ticket. "The mantra is 'Elu Cat Summoning', you can shout it out or recite it silently."

Sure enough, Yamato ignored Xie Wen's previous words, hurriedly took the Follower Cat Summoning Ticket, and held it high.

"Elu Cat! Summon!"

Naturally, nothing happened.

Then Yamato tried a few more postures and tones without giving up, but still no response.

"Are you lying to me?"

Yamato, who had been in the investigation team for some time, had gradually come to understand the character of this blue star and looked over with great suspicion.

Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly, snatched back the summoning ticket, and planned to speak with facts...

"what?"

Xie Wen suddenly discovered that the summoning ticket in his hand seemed to have changed.

Silver-white background and V-shaped pattern...

I remember now! Isn't this the pattern on the "spear" fragment I got after snatching Katakuri's "Earth Dragon"?

Because he was unable to obtain the fragments of the weapon pool for a long time afterwards, Xie Wen had forgotten about it.

and so……

Do you want to summon the Lancers?

Xie Wen looked at the summoning ticket in his hand with some hesitation.

Although there is no lancer cat in the team, it is reasonable to add one, but lancers have always been lucky E!

There’s already the unlucky guy Touma-neko in the investigation team. If they summon another Lucky E, how will they be able to survive?

Unless he can summon Zilong Miao this time.

Isn’t there a saying——

There are eight dou of luck among all the spearmen in the world, of which Zilong alone has one stone, and the rest are short of two dou.

Or it would be nice to be able to summon an Erlang cat or a Nezha cat...

Shaking his head to get rid of these unrealistic fantasies, Xie Wen decisively handed the decision-making power to Klee.

"Klee, do you think it's better for us to summon a cat with a sword or a cat with a gun?"

"Those with guns! The Elu cats with swords already have Brother Seijuro, Brother Link, and Sister Huamei, meow!"

(=＞＜=)

Klee answered without hesitation.

Well, the choice of the little doll was actually within Xie Wen’s expectations. Given the cat’s curiosity, it was almost certain that it would choose a new type of cat. He just wanted to confirm it further.

After receiving the "blessing" of the investigation team's lucky star, Xie Wen no longer hesitated, holding the summoning ticket and reciting the formula he had just told Yamato -

"Elu Cat, summon."

The summoning ticket in his hand glowed milky white, and under Yamato's surprised gaze, it slowly floated into the air, and then automatically folded into the shape of a gun tip.

Then, the paper-folded gun tip stabbed upwards fiercely, but it only stabbed about a palm-width away before turning into countless milky white spots of light.

According to past rules, these light spots should quickly dissipate, and then the summoned Felyne will appear in front of Xie Wen in various unexpected yet "character-appropriate" ways.

But this time the situation is slightly different...

The light spots transformed from the summoning ticket did not dissipate, but instead became brighter and quickly turned into golden color in the process. They hovered in the air and looked like stars in the sky.

The "stars" flickered a few times, then gathered together to form a small outline emitting golden light...

This way of appearance is somewhat similar to that of Miaoerya back then.

But didn't he summon a "lancer"? How did he become a "scientist"?

No, this scene feels more like "The Magician".

In Xie Wen's puzzled eyes, the light of the small outline gradually dissipated, revealing the one that was summoned this time...

The strange-faced people?
