I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

The misunderstanding has already been formed. Even if Xie Wen and others explained to the outside world through Morgans and Uta's live broadcast, those guys would not listen, so he simply didn't bother to care.

Anyway, even if they find out in the end that it was just a misunderstanding, few people would dare to cause trouble for me.

So, Xie Wen calmly put this matter behind him, and continued to discuss with Uta and the cats how to teach Shanks a profound lesson.

Well, although he didn't care, Xie Wen still decided to be more ruthless towards Shanks, the guy who caused trouble for him.

The next day, Shanks, who was rushing here at a fast speed, had already arrived at Elegia. Originally, Xie Wen planned to let him sneak onto the island, but in this situation, there was no need to avoid Uta, so after discovering the Red Verse, Xie Wen and the others took Uta and Gordon to the renovated port of Elegia and waited for the Red Hair Pirates to approach.

"Have some fun! Don't be so expectant before you even see that idiot Shanks, meow!"

(=`w=)

Meowx jumped from Shirahoshi's head to Uta's shoulder and patted her cheek unhappily as a reminder.

"Oh, oh!"

Uta quickly restrained the expression on his face and put on an impatient look.

Gordon: "..."

Xie Wen and the others did not avoid Gordon when they were discussing the plan, so he knew very well what Shanks would encounter next.

Out of friendship, Gordon wanted to warn Shanks, but considering that he was an accomplice, it seemed a bit suicidal to jump out and destroy the cats' plan at this time, so he could only reduce his presence and mourn for Shanks...

There was no way, the potion made by the little cat named Huiyuan Ai was too terrible! Gordon saw with his own eyes the miserable reaction of a cow cat after drinking Huiyuan Meow's potion.

He is already quite old and not as strong as Shanks, so he really can't stand this kind of torture.

"Uta!"

Before the Red Force came to a complete stop, Shanks had already jumped off the ship and took two steps forward excitedly.

However, after seeing the other person's deliberately tense face, he stopped again and slumped his shoulders in disappointment.

"Uta..." Shanks called Uta's name again, and said with a guilty tone: "I'm sorry, I know it may be a little late for me to say this now, and I don't expect you to forgive me, but what I want to say is that no matter what time, you are the musician of our Red Hair Pirates, and my daughter, Shanks."

After hearing Shanks' heartfelt words, Uta, who was already a little soft-hearted, almost couldn't hold back.

However, as the saying goes, it is not easy to learn good things, but it is easy to learn bad things. Under the influence of the kittens, even though Uta was inclined to forgive Shanks, Uta did not want to give up teaching him a lesson...

There's even a little bit of anticipation.

So, after his mouth twitched slightly a few times, Uta still managed to maintain his facial expression. He just glanced at Shanks coldly, then turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

"Ugh……"

Shanks sighed. Because of Xie Wen's wrong information, he thought Uta had always hated him deeply, so he didn't expect that he could get his daughter's forgiveness so easily. But seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, this pirate who usually had a big heart still felt lonely.

However, Xie Wen and the cats who knew the truth did not dare to let him continue to be so "tragic". What if Wuta could not hold back and softened his heart? In order to trick... no, to vent Wuta's anger, they made many detailed plans and even rehearsed them in the world of the Song Song Fruit. They couldn't let anything go wrong at the beginning!

So, Xie Wen immediately stepped forward to change the subject.

"Come to think of it, because of you, the pirates are coming here again. We have finally rebuilt Elegia. If it is destroyed again because of your arrival, I will not help rebuild it again. You, the Red Hair Pirates, will be responsible for it!"

"Eh? What's going on?"

Shanks was completely confused, in order to get to Elegia as quickly as possible, he didn't pay any attention to the situation behind him. And before those pirates really made a big noise, Morgans would not put the matter in the newspaper, so the Red Hair Pirates didn't know what was going on.

After briefly explaining the situation to him and the subsequent members of the Red Hair Pirates who landed, Shanks nodded as a matter of course, "Don't worry! We will be responsible for protecting this place!"

"I have to warn you in advance that among the pirates coming this time are Beast and Big Mom, and we are leaving soon... In fact, if you hadn't led those pirates back again, I would have left a long time ago."

"I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble." Shanks patted Xie Wen's shoulder with emotion, and then said: "If you are in a hurry, just leave! We, the Red Hair Pirates, are not afraid of Beasts and Big Mom!" The reason why Shanks is so confident is not only because of his own strength, but also because he does not think that Beasts and Big Mom will come to fight to the death with him. After all, their target is Vegapunk, and it has nothing to do with Elegia.

After finishing the serious business, Shanks finally had time to greet the cats.

"Long time no see, little Keri."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the little doll's head.

Even though he was lying down for several days due to Klee's bomb, Shanks still liked the little guy Klee the most among all the cats.

In addition to the fact that the little doll is indeed cute, and because her personality is somewhat similar to that of Uta when she was a child, Shanks got along very well with Klee when he met Xie Wen before.

Klee, who can sense people's emotions, no longer resisted getting close to Shanks after he came to her to please her for a few days. In the entire Red Hair Pirates, only a few people such as Shanks and Lachi Lu were able to do this.

However, at this time, the response Shanks imagined did not appear. Klee not only ignored his greeting, but also turned her head to the side to avoid his palm, and snorted angrily: "You actually abandoned Sister Uta, Klee doesn't like you anymore, meow!"

(`h=)

Shanks was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other cats with his hand stretched out. He found that they all had contemptuous expressions. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and retracted his only arm.

Shanks is actually not unfamiliar with this situation. Jesus is treated almost the same by the cats. He used to gloat over other people's misfortunes with other companions. He didn't expect that he would be disliked by the cats for similar reasons.

Moreover, the cats' relationship with Usopp is obviously not as close as that with Uta, so Shanks finds himself in a situation even worse than that of Jesus Bu...

At least those cats with more stable personalities did not show too obvious aversion to Jesus Bu, and most of the cats would respond politely when Jesus Bu took the initiative to talk to them. But now, even if Shanks took the initiative to talk to the cats, most of the cats would turn a deaf ear to him. Only Huamei Meow and Kaido Meow, who had been taught by him the skills of using Conqueror's Haki before, would occasionally say a few words to him.

"Little Keri, the power of the 'gadget' you gave me is too exaggerated, isn't it? Didn't you even warn me when you gave it to me?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Laqi Lu immediately jumped out and changed the subject: "Aren't you afraid that I'll be pressed down while I sleep, and then accidentally trigger it and get blown away?"

"Meow?"

(=w=)

The little puppet scratched his head in confusion. "Didn't Klee tell you to throw away enemies you can't defeat? Why are you so unprepared?"

Lachi Lu was silent for a moment.

He couldn't possibly tell Klee that he didn't take the compressed bouncing bomb that the other party gave him seriously at the beginning, right?

Although Lachi Lue failed to ease the atmosphere, after being reminded by him, the other members of the Red Hair Pirates also came forward to talk to the cats.

Thanks to their efforts and the active cooperation of the cats, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Then, the customary party was held in the pirate world.

As the banquet progressed, Uta and the cats, who had always been unfriendly to Shanks, finally stopped giving him a bad look. Although they still refused to talk to him, Shanks was already very moved.

Even when the banquet was gradually reaching its climax, Uta took the initiative to sing a song.

Just as Shanks was enjoying his daughter's singing with an intoxicated look on his face, a large wine plate was handed to him.

"Want a cup, meow?"

︺(●w●)

"Ha! Ibuki sake! I missed it so much!"

Shanks cheered as he took the wine dish and brought it to his mouth.

But when the edge of the wine dish touched his mouth, his movements suddenly froze...

Because his observation Haki just suddenly gave an automatic warning and allowed him to see what was going to happen in a few seconds.

"Ha ha……"

Shanks smiled bitterly, but did not put down the wine dish in his hand. Instead, with a determined mood to let his daughter and the cats vent their anger, he tilted his head back and drank up the liquid in the dish!
