I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were all strong, and Vermouth did not have the highest concentration of Satan Potion, so Ace and the others soon recovered one after another just as Xie Wen said.

However, this time they didn't dare to come together to bother this "poisonous cat". Only Marco, the ship's doctor, and Ace, with whom he had a better relationship, came over.

"Um, um... Miss Huibara, how is Dad's health? Is there any treatment?"

Marco asked again carefully, afraid of angering this bad-tempered kitten again.

Having already been taught a lesson, Huibara Cat certainly would not continue to throw a tantrum and directly told the results of his examination.

"Conventional methods are of little use," she looked at Marco and said seriously, "You are also a doctor, you should know that your father is not actually sick, he is just getting old."

(=vv=)

Marco sighed. He certainly knew what was going on with Whitebeard's physical condition. If it was just a simple injury or even some illness, the regeneration flame attached to his Phoenix Fruit could cure it directly. However, his regeneration flame would be useless for the aging caused by time.

"Even Granny Kuleha's method doesn't work?"

Shirahoshi, who was also worried about Whitebeard's health, asked anxiously, "She is still very healthy after living for over 130 years!"

"That's different," Huiyuan answered as she and Klee squeezed and jostled for "territory" in Xie Wen's arms. "Grandma Kuleha's condition is the result of years of maintenance. To put it bluntly, it is a means of delaying aging and maintaining physiological functions. But old man Newgate's body is very old now. This maintenance method can only prolong his life, but it can't make him rejuvenate."

"To put it in a more understandable way..." Huiyuan paused and continued to explain: "Although Granny Kuleha is over 130 years old, her body is still in her 60s or even 50s. Grandpa Garp is over 70 years old and his body is almost in his 70s, but Grandpa Newgate's body has reached the state of 80s or even 90s."

"As for why Mr. Newgate's body has aged so much, it may be due to the accumulation of one or more old injuries, as Grandma Kuleha speculated. It may also be due to some poison that caused functional damage, or it may be due to both or even more external factors."

Huiyuan Meow spread his paws and shrugged helplessly, "I can't go back in time, so I can't be sure of the specific reason, and even if I knew it, it would be useless, meow."

╮(=ΦwΦ=)╭

As the ship's doctor and the attending physician who has been treating Whitebeard for many years, Marco naturally knew that what Haibara Meowth said was true. He didn't even have much hope for Haibara Meowth or even Vegapunk at the beginning. He just didn't want to pour cold water on his companions.

But Ace didn't have such a preconceived notion, so he keenly caught the words that Huiyuan Miao said at the beginning -

"Sister Huiyuan, you just said that conventional methods are of little use to Dad's body. Does that mean there are unconventional methods?"

"Of course, meow."

(=`=)

The kitten nodded. "The simplest way is to use the devil fruit that allows time to go back and directly make old man Newgate younger. But the disadvantage of doing this is that if the opponent's ability is removed, old man Newgate will return to his original state. It is even possible that his physical condition will deteriorate further due to the instant aging."

"Unless the opponent's devil fruit ability is permanent, but as far as I know, Bonnie's fruit ability is time-limited... Oh, Bonnie is the user of the Age-Old Fruit, which can make a person younger or older."

"There is also a more complicated method, which is to create a clone of Mr. Newgate and then transplant the clone's organs into his body, or directly transplant his brain into the clone."

After proposing the mysterious solution of the devil fruit, Haibara Cat also proposed a very scientific solution.

"However, this method also has its drawbacks." She added: "Although the clone uses the bloodline factor of old man Newgate, the basic quality is no different from the original, but after all, it is not trained by himself, so the strength will definitely decline, and it is even possible that even the domineering aura must be retrained. In addition, the brain cannot be replaced in any way. No matter how young the clone's body is, it is impossible for him to live another 70 or 80 years."

“Gulala! What rejuvenation, what cloning! I don’t need any of that!”

Just when Ace and the others were still comparing the pros and cons of the two plans, Whitebeard interrupted their thoughts with a big laugh, "During the previous inspection, Ai already told me the situation, but I don't need it!"

Whitebeard said to Ace and the others very seriously: "There are always people dying in this sea, and there are always new people appearing. I am a remnant of the old times, and I will perish with time sooner or later. What difference does it make if I live a few years longer or less? It's really ugly to try every means to refuse to die. I am Whitebeard!"

Now that things have come to this, Ace and the others know that it will be useless no matter how much they try to persuade them.

Moreover, they actually agreed with Whitebeard's ideas. Pirates like them who were more inclined to be kind were used to putting their own lives aside...

Otherwise, Whitebeard wouldn't have drunk so much even though he knew he couldn't drink.

Of course, understanding is one thing, but it is unrealistic to expect Ace and the others to remain completely indifferent.

"Dad!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates did not continue to persuade him, but instead rushed forward and surrounded Whitebeard, crying loudly.

However, one of the characteristics of the pirate world is that people's emotions change very quickly. They are crying and hugging each other in the last second, and they are happily having a party in the next second.

The reason is very simple. Haibara Cat taught Kuleha's health-preserving method to Marco, and told him that although this method could not save Whitebeard, it could extend his life for a few more years. The most important thing is that Kuleha's method does not require quitting drinking.

So not only Ace and the others, but even Whitebeard was extremely happy, and he liked the Huibara cat in Xie Wen's arms more and more.

"Gulala! Ai, you can make me drink, which is more useful than curing my body! If you need anything in the future, just tell grandpa! I, Whitebeard, will do everything I can to get it for you!"

"Hmm...if it's possible, can you give me another animal-type fruit, meow?"

(=w=)

Huibara Meowth stretched out her claws without any hesitation. She had already researched the core of the Demon Medicine series of potions. However, after using the Giraffe Fruit to test the cat-made Devil Fruit, she had not obtained any extra Animal-type fruits, which made the little kitten very depressed.

"No problem!" Whitebeard agreed without hesitation, "After we go to Wano Country, I will send someone to help you collect it!"

Just as Whitebeard was teasing the gray bark kindly, Sanji's roar suddenly came from Ace and the others.

"Don't think you're awesome just because your bounty is higher than mine! I want to fight you in a one-on-one duel, meow!"
