I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 718 Klee: You stingy little bastard!

"So, Klee and the others actually chose the so-called 'Road of Trials'?"

Xie Wen held the vampire fruit in one hand and gently scratched the little doll's chin with the other hand, confirming with Robin.

"Yes, yes, the trials inside are really interesting, meow!"

(=`=)

Without waiting for Robin to answer, the little doll tilted her head back so Xie Wen could scratch her chin more conveniently, and then excitedly told Xie Wen about their adventure in her baby voice mixed with purring.

"…But Touma-nii is still as unlucky as before, always falling into traps for one reason or another. If he hadn't learned Armament Haki, he would have lost at least three or four lives-nyan."

Xie Wen looked at Mr. Kamijou who looked hopeless. Compared with his other friends who were just a little dusty, the little cow cat looked much more miserable. Not only was his simple school uniform tattered, but his hair was also bald in several spots.

Well, this look is quite consistent with Touma’s “cat setting”.

"I'm stupid, really."

Touma raised his lifeless eyes and continued, "I only knew that sister Klee had always had good luck and would not be in danger, but I didn't know that it was only her luck..."

"Uh……"

Xie Wen didn't expect that just after an adventure in the ruins, Touma Cat would actually have the tendency to become Xianglin Cat.

It seems that this time he was really hit hard.

But think about it, he made the same choice as Klee, and the little puppet had a lot of fun along the way, but he had to bear it all by himself, so it's natural that his mentality would collapse.

Holding back a smile, Xie Wen reached out and hugged the miserable-looking Touma Meow in his arms. He took out the "hair growth agent" specially developed for him by Huihara Meow, and while applying it to the bald areas, he used Kato's Cat Hand to give the unfortunate little fool a full body massage.

Thanks to Xie Wen's superb cat-stroking skills, the carefree little cow cat quickly regained its spirits.

After collecting the vampire fruit, Xie Wen did not rush to read the hunter's manual, but rested for a night with the cats in the town of Torrance.

The next morning, before leaving, Xie Wen handed the treasure map directly to the village chief Maroma and said to her, "If anyone comes to inquire about us in the future, you should tell them the truth and show them the treasure map."

Although Xie Wen felt a little sorry for the residents of Torrance Town for inadvertently attracting the attention of other pirates, it was impossible for him to stay here to protect them forever.

Fortunately, Torrance Town itself is not of much value. Most pirates who can catch Xie Wen's whereabouts will not be interested in these resources. If a pirate takes a fancy to the land resources here and plans to use it as a base...

In fact, it may not be a bad thing for the town of Torrance. It mainly depends on the style of the pirate group.

As for why they were not allowed to hang up the cat's paw flag like Elegia, it was because Elegia was managed by Red Hair, but Xie Wen had no interest in managing and protecting the so-called territory.

Moreover, given the current situation of the Felynx Survey Team, it is not certain whether hanging up the cat paw flag will provide protection or attract more powerful enemies.

Therefore, Xie Wen could only find a way to make the pirates and navy who might come later understand the purpose of his trip, and try not to involve the people of Torrance Town. As for the rest, they could only fend for themselves.

Village chief Maroma, who had watched Xie Wen and his men annihilate the entire pirate fleet yesterday, smiled bitterly. She certainly understood at this time that Xie Wen's identity was by no means simple, and because of his arrival, Torrance Town would hardly be as peaceful as before in the next period of time. However, she could not and dared not blame him.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Master Wen. Although our town has little contact with the outside world, we still have rich experience in dealing with pirates."

Village chief Maroma put away the treasure map and thanked sincerely.

After all, she has lived for so long, and Maroma knows in her heart that compared with those pirates, Xie Wen's approach has been very humane. If it were those pirates who came to look for the devil fruit this time, they would not talk to them so nicely. It is even very likely that they would wipe out the entire village in order to block the news.

But not only did Xie Wen not do so, he also took the initiative to leave clues and evidence behind because he was worried that they would be forced by the pirates who followed. This was more reliable than some of the navy.

After all, many navies never consider whether there will be subsequent retaliation in the local area after wiping out the pirates in the area not under their jurisdiction. They just leave. If they encounter a navy like Akainu, the number of civilians who die at the hands of the navy may be even greater than that of pirates.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Wen gave the village chief Maroma a Den Den Mushi and left his number.

"If you really encounter the worst situation, although I may not be able to rush to save you in the first time, I can still avenge you afterwards."

That was all Xie Wen could do. He then brought the cats back to the Toot Forward, had the Toot switch to the Sky Comet Dragon form, and flew towards the White Earth Island, Baldigo.

……

After leaving Torrance for a long distance, Xie Wen stopped the flying of the Dudu temporarily, switched to the floating dragon form and hovered above the clouds.

"Okay, now it's time to see if the vampire fruit can help us ship the goods this time!"

Xie Wen first ran to the bathroom to rub his face and wash his hands. After returning to the deck, he hugged Klee and took a deep breath, and then solemnly took out the hunter's manual.

"Brother Xie Wen, we are going to have a new partner again meow?!"

(=w=)

Klee asked excitedly, and the other members of the investigation team gathered around.

"Then you will be disappointed," Xie Wen touched her little head and said coldly, "The animal-type summoning tickets have been used up long ago. It is almost impossible for the vampire fruit to give a full summoning ticket."

"What a stingy little bad guy, meow!"

(=`3=)

Klee pouted in disappointment and slapped the hunter's manual in annoyance.

"Brother Xie Wen, what are you talking about?"

Only Bonnie was still confused.

"Little Bonnie, what I'm going to tell you next is the top secret of our Felynx Investigation Team. Remember to keep it a secret."

Anyway, Vegapunk has already guessed the origins of the Felynes, and the cats have such a good relationship with Bonnie. Even on the way to Torrance, the Toot took the initiative to meet Bonnie, so Xie Wen didn't think there was any need to hide it from her.

And judging from her performance in the original comics, Bonnie is definitely trustworthy.

"Yes, yes, yes! I promise not to tell anyone else, not even my father!"

Bonnie, who had previously promised to keep the Toot Toot secret, agreed without hesitation.

So Xie Wen briefly explained the function of the manual and the origin of the Felynes.

"The Felyne from another world... so cool!"

After listening to Xie Wen's explanation, Bonnie looked back and forth between the Hunter's Manual and Klee with shining eyes, then nodded in understanding, "No wonder Brother Xie Wen has been collecting famous swords and devil fruits."

"Is it really impossible to summon a new Felyne this time?"

After the excitement, Bonnie reluctantly confirmed with Xie Wen again: "I really want to see how you summoned Keli and the others..."

"The possibility is very low. Before, only the Nature-type fruit could obtain a whole summoning ticket, and now even the Nature-type fruit can't do it."

Xie Wen shook his head and replied with the same regret.

The most important thing is that the vampire fruit is a product of a derivative game. Based on previous experience, its "plot weight" is very low. Not to mention the entire summoning ticket, Xie Wen is not sure whether he can get the fragments.

But he couldn't tell Bonnie this reason.

"If you're interested, next time I summon the Felyne, I'll call Big Bear to send you over."

While Xie Wen made a promise to the somewhat disappointed Bonnie, he reached out and opened the hunter manual in front of him.

Xie Wen had no idea how many times he had read the Hunter's Manual, so he turned to the page with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia very accurately. Naturally, the animal classification included the encyclopedias of the Bat Fruit, the Mythical Beast, and the Vampire Form.

Before Xie Wen had time to take a closer look at the contents of the illustrated book, a familiar white light lit up on the manual...

Fortunately, at least there is a fragment.

Just as Xie Wen was thinking this, a complete follower cat summoning ticket suddenly appeared in the gap of the manual.

"!!!"

This is really a pleasant surprise.

The "Plot Scepter" of the Vampire Fruit is indeed not as good as other mythical beast fruits, but Xie Wen forgot that this is the first mythical beast fruit he has obtained in the true sense, which has the bonus of "first sight".

What's more, this vampire fruit was obtained by Klee, the chosen cat, through clues and found personally, and it also has the additional bonus of "destiny".

When the two are added together, it is not uncommon to give out a whole summoning ticket.

"Thank you, Brother Wen! Hurry up and summon a new partner, meow!"

(=＞＜=)

At Klee's urging, Xie Wen picked up the minion cat summoning ticket, and then quickly switched it to a blood-red background with a pattern similar to the Batman logo.

"..."

Are you going to summon a Bruce Wayne cat to me? It seems that the master does have a vampire version...

However, Xie Wen changed his mind and felt that there might be nothing wrong in summoning an old cat. Although the old cat had some mental problems, he was an all-round human/cat talent who could serve as both a combatant and a scientific researcher. Maybe he could even tinker with an "anti-Im armor" or something.

Although all kinds of thoughts were running through his head, Xie Wen's hands did not sluggishly move. He held the summoning ticket between his index and middle fingers, raised it in front of him like a Taoist priest casting a spell, and then shouted softly: "Elu Cat, summon!"
