I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 717 Little Cat's Adventure in Ancient Ruins

Just when Xie Wen and his crew discovered the group of pirates, Klee and his crew also found a hidden relic according to the treasure map.

"Woooo! This place feels bigger than the ruins at Sister Uta's place, meow!"

(=w=)

Klee threw out a small ball of fire that floated above her head, and exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the illuminated interior of the ruins before her.

The underground ruins of Elegia basically only have one relatively large space, which at most includes the attic where the guardian stone statue is placed. If there are no obstructions, you can basically see the end at a glance.

The ruins that Klee and the others found, the hall at the entrance alone is more than half the size of the ruins in Elegia, and the hall is surrounded by four long corridors that stretch as far as the eye can see.

After looking around at the strange patterns and words on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the ruins, the little puppet turned around and said to Robin seriously, "Sister Robin, you are not allowed to help me, or Klee will not like you anymore."

(=`ー=)

Even though I couldn't understand the words in the ruins or what those abstract patterns meant, treasure hunting was fun in this way. If Robin had figured it out from the beginning, it would have been meaningless.

"Don't worry," Robin, who knew what Klee was thinking, smiled and patted her head, promising, "I'll study mine, and I won't give you any hints unless you ask."

The little doll then turned around with satisfaction, and then pulled her friends together to discuss which direction to go next.

"Keli, look at this guy with three hands. Is his hand pointing to the passage on the far right? Maybe it's a clue!"

Several little ones gathered together to analyze the pattern on the floor, and Bonnie was the first to find the "clue".

Robin looked in the direction of the pattern she pointed to, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The "three hands" that Bonnie mentioned should be formed by some kind of building and a tree put together. As for the "direction of the fingers", they are actually the leaves of the tree.

But it's not Bonnie's fault. The patterns carved by these ancient people are abstract, and each island or region has a different style. If you can't identify the "painting" style of these relics, it would be difficult to recognize what they are painted on.

Now when we meet kids like Klee and Bonnie who have wild imaginations, it is even easier to misunderstand the meaning of those patterns.

What really made Robin speechless was that Bonnie's analysis unexpectedly led her to choose the right route.

"Hmm...but Klee thinks this one is more correct, meow."

(=w=)σ

The little puppet pointed to the second corridor on the left and analyzed convincingly: "Look, there are several pairs of eyes looking in this direction. It feels like this is the correct way, meow."

"Actually, I'd rather go this way." Bai Xing also pointed to the passage on the far left and expressed his thoughts, "There are many patterns similar to sea beasts and fish carved on the edge of this passage. Maybe it has something to do with mermen!"

Yamato chose the second corridor from the right. Her reason was simple and direct.

"Go with your gut!"

The other cats also joined in and gave their own reasons. In the end, each of the four channels had its own supporters, and everyone basically insisted on their own opinions and argued fiercely.

Robin, who had already explored the ruins in the hall, saw that this would take no end and would affect his further investigation, so he reminded them that they could vote to resolve the issue.

There was no surprise in the final result, with the most people choosing Klee's channel.

But what makes everyone hesitate is...

"I also agree to take the path chosen by sister Klee. Judging from the density distribution of these patterns and words, it looks like they are converging on this road, so the good stuff must be in here!"

(=w=)

A black and white cow cat said confidently.

I didn't expect that I would make the same choice as the Chosen Cat Klee. Mr. Kamijou's luck has finally turned around!

However, after hearing that Touma had chosen this path, even Klee became hesitant...

"Well, how about we take another route, meow?"

(=w=)

"What do you mean? If you don't believe me, do you also not believe in Sister Klee? Sister Klee, don't waver! Your choice is absolutely correct!"

(=`Д=)

Touma Meowth suddenly became anxious. He had finally had a chance to be "lucky" once, and he couldn't let it be ruined just like that!

"Aiya, we just trust you, so we want to try another route, meow~"

(●w●)

Suika, who had also chosen this path, explained while shaking her head.

But this explanation didn't make Touma happy at all.

Meowx supported it, saying, "Hasn't Xie Wen done an experiment before? Klee's good luck is a bit stronger than Touma's bad luck, so it's okay if we don't change it, meow."

(In)

Although he was speaking for Touma, the little blue cat's face clearly showed an expression of wanting to watch the fun.

However, the little cow cat did not notice this. Instead, he kept nodding and agreeing, "That's right, that's it, meow!"

Moreover, in order to prove that Kellie's choice was correct, Touma rushed into the corridor without waiting for others to object.

About ten seconds later, there were clanging sounds in the passage, as well as Mr. Kamijou's angry shouts and cries of pain.

“Meow, meow, meow——! Unfortunate meow——!!!”

"It looks interesting in there! Let's go check it out, meow!"

()

Klee immediately became interested and rushed into the corridor with her little cat legs twiddling their thumbs. Soon, the sound of little puppets playing and laughing could be heard from inside, and there was also the occasional flash of fire.

"Hehehe~ I knew it would be like this meow!"

(=`=)

Meowx smiled slyly and nodded, then jumped on top of Shirahoshi’s head, patted her head and urged, “Let’s catch up, or we won’t be able to see the fun, meow!”

Led by the two little cats, the others didn't care whether this passage was correct or not, and followed in in a mighty procession...

Except for Nico Robin who had a frown on her face.

After using his ability to leave a palm with eyes on Shirahoshi's body to keep an eye on the group of little guys, Robin decisively walked into the passage on the far right.

It has to be said that the area of ​​this relic is really large, and the roads inside are not only winding, but also up and down. In addition, there are some rooms with research value along the way, so Robin stopped and walked along the way, and it took a long time to reach the "Place of Rebirth of the Lord of Blood".

This was an underground space of about the same size as the hall they had just entered. It was empty all around except for a golden table in the center of the room, on top of which sat a purple devil fruit that looked like a melon.

“It’s this indeed…”

Through the clues collected along the way, Robin already knew what the final treasure was. "The mythical beast vampire fruit... I wonder if Xie Wen can summon a new Felyne."

Robin muttered as he walked forward, intending to take the devil fruit.

As a result, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise from the ceiling above, and she felt a sharp pain in her right eye and right hand.

The next second, the two stones on the ceiling suddenly opened, and Klee and the other little ones who had taken the other passage all fell down from above with a crackling sound.

“Meowhahaha! Sister Robin is so awesome! You actually found this place faster than us by yourself, meow!”

(=＞＜=)

Klee, who landed on top of everyone without taking any damage, greeted happily.

"No, unfortunately..."

At the same time, from under Shirahoshi's huge fish tail, came the intermittent voice of a cow cat.
