I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 737 Magma Fruit and Felynx are a better match

"Peppers belong to the Solanaceae family and are distant relatives of plants such as tomatoes and sour berries. In a broad sense, they are indeed fruits."

(In)

Sanji looked at Xie Wen with disdain, as if mocking his ignorance.

However, the little yellow cat would not miss this rare opportunity to show off to Xie Wen, so he maintained his superior expression and continued to explain: "It's just that we classified peppers as vegetables and condiments based on our own eating habits. Moreover, the prototype of the one in your hand should be sweet peppers, and some sweet peppers are edible."

"In fact, the prototype of this magma fruit is not necessarily the bell pepper~"

(=ΦwΦ=)

Grayhara, who was sitting on Xie Wen's shoulder, swung his legs and head at the same time, and added cutely: "It could also be Lianwu, they look quite similar~"

Well, she would be even cuter if she didn't have the same look of contempt on her face as Sanji.

"...So, do you want to eat?"

Xie Wen rubbed the cat heads of the two little bastards hard, and in return he got a mouthful of teeth marks and a flying cat leg, then handed the magma fruit to Huiyuan Miao.

"Well……"

(=vv=)

The little kitten looked conflicted.

Although the Magma Fruit is a powerful natural element, and it can also save her from having to take a bath, but...

"I still don't want to eat it, meow."

(`w≡`w)

Huibara Cat closed his eyes and shook his head quickly, as if this would make his refusal more resolute.

"I would rather have a devil fruit like the Operation Fruit or the Disease-Sickness Fruit that can help me with my research. Even if it's a natural-type fruit, it would be best if it could be like Purya's Snow-Snow Fruit, which can create an assistant to help me. The destructive power of the Magma Fruit is too strong, and even if I create an assistant, they can't help me with my experiments, meow."

Even if it is a natural system...

Xie Wen looked speechlessly at the picky little guy, then looked at the magma fruit in his hand.

But it's better this way. After all, Huiyuan Miao is a scientific researcher. Apart from sharpening her claws on a cat climbing frame called Blue Star, she rarely participates in battles. It would be a waste to give her the magma fruit, a natural-type item with top destructive power.

So Xie Wen turned his attention to other cats...

"Hmm? Touma, didn't you eat the Yaki Fruit? Why do you look so unwilling?"

"That's it!"

(=QДQ=)

The little cow cat roared in anger and grief: "If I had known that I could get the Nature Fruit so quickly, Kamijou-san would not have eaten the Yaki Fruit, meow!"

Cang Lanxing smiled and stroked his cat's head, saying, "Have you never thought that it is because you ate the Yaki Fruit that we were able to obtain the new natural fruit so quickly?"

"…Unfortunate meow!"

_(`　∠)_

Mr. Kamijou lay down on the deck, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

Sanji and Link are the same as before. As the few cats who like swimming, they never planned to eat devil fruits from the beginning.

Sasha is an auxiliary main C and does not really need magma fruit to enhance her strength. Moreover, this lady cat is not opposed to taking a bath and is quite hydrophilic.

Cat Princess is quite suitable for magma fruit, but...

With her current strength, it is enough to give Xie Wen a headache. If the magma fruit is added to it, life will be impossible!

So in the end, only two cats were left: Meow Juro and Hua Mei Meow.

"Let Miss Huamei eat first. I can continue to wait."

(=ΦwΦ=)

Meowjuro took the initiative to humbly say: "Besides, the power of the magma fruit is too strong. It may affect my swordsmanship."

This was of course just an excuse. Judging from Meowjuro's current level of swordsmanship, even Hawkeye might not be as good as him. How could a mere magma fruit possibly shake his swordsmanship?

However, Hua Mei Miao did not reject Miao Shi Lang's kindness. She smiled and nodded at him, then took the magma fruit from Xie Wen's hand and took a small bite of it gracefully...

"Ew—"

(=︵=)

The facial features of Xiang Feihu-sama wrinkled together instantly. After swallowing the fruit in his mouth with difficulty, he stuck out his tongue and said, "It really tastes bad, meow."

At this moment, Xie Wen suddenly heard a barely perceptible sigh in his ear.

Turning around, I saw the little girl Klee looking at Huamei cat with a sad face. Huamei cat was trying to endure the discomfort and eat all the magma fruits in small bites.

"What's wrong, Kelly?"

It was rare to see the little doll in this state, so Xie Wen quickly hugged her in his arms, gently scratched her chin and asked.

"Sister Huamei has become even more powerful, meow..."

(=`3=)

Klee pouted and muttered, looking both happy and unhappy.

I understand. The guardian has become stronger, and the little cat has a sense of crisis...

Xie Wen chuckled, then pinched her little face, "You make it sound like you could have avoided Hua Mei's punishment before."

"Yes!"

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Klee suddenly realized what was going on and became cheerful again, "It's okay then, meow~"

Then, the little guy shook his head and said, "When Sister Huamei is angry, it's like a volcano erupting. It goes well with this fruit, meow!"

(=`=)

Xie Wen: "..."

But to be honest, judging from Huamei Miao's nickname "Xiang Feihu", it is indeed quite suitable for the magma fruit.

“…Shit!”

The little fool Klee only realized that she had said the wrong thing after she noticed the sudden silence in the air.

"Sister Huamei~Keli knows she's wrong~"

(つw=)つ

The little doll quickly jumped out of Xie Wen's arms, threw itself onto Lord Xiang Feihu's body and rubbed his cheek hard.

“Klee shouldn’t have said you were fierce… Oh, that’s not right! Klee meant that Sister Huamei wasn’t as fierce as a volcanic eruption… Eh? That doesn’t seem right either… Ah… Klee doesn’t know what to say, meow!”

(=Д=)

The little fool held his little head and wailed for a while, then looked at Xie Wen for help.

"Ahem... well, that little idiot Keli is not very good at talking. Huamei, there's no need for you to be so serious with a child."

After all, Xie Wen couldn't bear to see the little puppet suffer, so he stepped forward and tried to persuade him.

"Keli is not an idiot, meow!"

(=`h=)

Some little idiot who didn't get the point retorted angrily.

Even Huiyuan Meow, who was sitting on Xie Wen's shoulder watching the show, couldn't help but slap himself on the face and complained: "This little idiot is hopeless, meow."

(=ゝ=)

"Am I such an unreasonable cat in your eyes, Admiral?"

(=へ=)

Master Xiang Feihu rolled his eyes at Xie Wen unhappily, then patted Keli Miao's head with his paw, "Don't worry, I'm not angry, but if you keep talking, I might really get angry, meow."

"Oh! Then Klee won't say anything, meow!"

(=⊙艸⊙=)

The little puppet immediately covered his mouth.

And seeing that Hua Meimao really had no intention of causing trouble for her, she ran back to Xie Wen's shoulder as fast as she could and hid her entire upper body behind Xie Wen's head, leaving only her two little cat legs and a big furry tail dangling around Xie Wen's neck.

Lady Xiang Feihu shook her head helplessly. She had originally wanted to ask Klee to help her get familiar with the fruit ability. After all, the attributes of their fruit abilities were similar, and Klee had fought with Sakaski several times before...

But looking at the current situation, Klee would probably think that I was looking for an excuse to teach her a lesson, so I could only forget it...

"Charmi, come help me get familiar with the power of the fruit, okay?"

(=ΦwΦ=)

Since Klee doesn't work, Huamei can only settle for the next best thing and find another combat-type nature cat.

"Eh??? I didn't offend Huamei by kissing you just now, meow?!"

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

The little forest cat, who was leaning on Xie Wen's legs leisurely, suddenly got angry.

Huamei Meow: "..."

Am I really that scary?!

Lord Xiang Feihu felt so tired that he wanted to overturn the table.
