I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Only the last bit left."

Xie Wen held the hunter's manual in his hand, looked at the map that was almost all lit up, and murmured in a low voice.

After mastering Armament Haki, the entire island was like a back garden to him. In addition, Sanji Meow, who had already figured out the map, led the way, so the original less than 30% map progress was left. It only took them a few days to do it.

As Xie Wen stepped onto an inconspicuous hill, the progress bar on the map finally jumped to 100%, and then there was a flash of familiar white light, and a fragment of a follower cat summoning ticket appeared again in the cracks of the manual...

"Huh? It seems...something's not right?"

Xie Wen picked up the fragment and found that its color was different. The background color was sea blue, while the pattern was dark blue. The most important thing was that the two words on it were "follower".

So... the summoning ticket fragments obtained from the Monster Manual and the fragments obtained from opening the map are not in the same pool?

Xie Wen, who had seen various card drawing routines before traveling through time, understood the situation almost immediately.

He looked at the hunter's manual in his hand again. Sure enough, the island they were on now had shrunk to the size of a fingernail, and was once again surrounded by black mist. The progress bar at the bottom of the map had also changed to 0.1%...

I don’t know how much area needs to be explored to advance to 100% this time. Anyway, looking at this situation, there is no hope in a short time.

But there is also good news, that is, at the same time that the island they are on is lit up, a large area of ​​​​the surrounding sea is also lit up simultaneously. It seems that they most likely only need to travel to all the islands, instead of having to The whole sea circle.

"Uh..." Xie Wen, who had already figured out the situation, turned his head and looked at the two expectant cats at his feet, and shrugged helplessly, "It seems that the new partner will not be able to join us so soon."

"Meow..."

Keli drooped her ears in a little loss, but she quickly regained her energy and climbed onto Xie Wen's back, "Then when will we go to sea? Keli can't wait any longer." !”

As for Sanji Miao, the blow he suffered seems to be relatively big...

"No——!" The little yellow cat fell to his knees with a plop and wailed heartbreakingly: "My big sister Ellu——! No more Meow——!"

Xie Wen rolled his eyes helplessly, stretched out his foot and kicked him gently, "Pay attention, Keli is still here."

Sanji Meow, who was still in COS Yuan Hua, stopped wailing instantly. He raised his head and found Keli Meow lying on Xie Wen's shoulder, tilting his head and looking at him, with a pair of big ruby-like eyes full of doubts.

Sanjimiao quickly got up from the ground, quickly changed his serious expression, and before Kelimiao asked, he took the initiative to change the subject and said: "By the way, sister Keli, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

"Kelly wants to eat fish, meow!" The innocent little puppet instantly put the doubts in her mind behind her and replied cheerfully: "Although the fish cooked by Brother Sanji are delicious, Keli wants to eat more fish today. Can you drink catnip and fish soup...?"

"Of course, no problem, meow! Brother Sanji will make fish soup for you right now, meow!" Sanji meow seemed to have been beaten to death, and he raised his legs and ran to make food for Keli meow.

Then he was grabbed by Xie Wen.

"It's still early for lunch time!" he reminded angrily: "We still have business to do!"

The business Xie Wen mentioned was naturally the raft needed to go to sea...

Well, with their current craftsmanship, making a raft is the limit.

I originally thought about whether I could summon an Elu cat that could build ships, but this cheating hunter's manual actually opened several pools.

However, according to this logic, the weapon unlocking page will probably be a new pool... and it will most likely still be the UP pool for cut-off combat cats.

Xie Wen rubbed his chin, looking forward to the cat in the pool.

After all, in various animation works, the base of swordsmanship masters is very large. If you can summon cats of this type, not only can you learn from each other and improve, but you may also be able to learn the sword skills in other anime through these cats. fencing.

But these are things for the future after all. The most urgent task now is to build a raft strong enough to go to sea.

The whole process of making the raft was not difficult. After all, the raft itself was not a particularly complicated thing. Not to mention that Xie Wen's strength was now greatly increased, so many things were much simpler to do.

He found a dozen trees of about the same thickness on the island, cut them down and tied them together with strong vines. Just in case, Xie Wen also drilled a few holes horizontally and inserted a few thinner ones. The wooden strips were used for reinforcement, and then a simple sail made of the skin of the Wild Boar King was inserted into the middle of the raft. The "boat" they used to go to sea was considered complete.

After the raft was made, Xie Wen and the others were not in a hurry to go to sea. They first threw the raft into the lake on the island and left it for a few days for a simple test. During this period, they sorted out the contents of the extra-dimensional bag and put some temporary Everything that was no longer needed was emptied out and replaced with fresh water and food, necessary resources for navigation.

By the way, Kelimiao’s bag is the backpack on her back, and her bag is actually the one with the largest space...

So, who is the guy with the real golden finger? !

"Brother Sanji, can you give Kelly some of your catnip?"

Kelly, who was sorting out her "treasures", suddenly raised her head and sniffed, then jumped to Sanji's side, looking at a small jar in the other's hand with greedy eyes, which was filled with dried catnip.

These were all collected by Sanji with great pains when he was exploring the island. In order not to kill the chicken to get the eggs, he only picked about two-thirds of the leaves every time. He was reluctant to put too many leaves when he occasionally used them for cooking.

Now that they were about to leave the island, Sanji was willing to pick all the remaining catnip.

"No, no problem, meow..."

With some pain, Sanji took out two pieces of catnip from it and handed them to Kelly.

"Thank you Sanji, nya!" Kelimya cheered, took the catnip, quickly stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it deliciously.

Seeing such a "wasteful" way of using it made Sanji's eyes twitch, but he couldn't bear to blame the cute Kelimya, so he could only turn his head and look out of sight.

Seeing all this, Xie Wen did not stop it, because after all, Ellu cats are different from ordinary cats. They are not "addicted" to catnip, but rather treat it as a delicious snack.

In addition, like ordinary cats, Ellu cats have different levels of interest in catnip.

For Kelly, catnip is not even as attractive as frying fish and making bombs. Sanji is more addicted to catnip. Xie Wen often sees him taking out his own catnip container. Jars, open the lid and take two deep breaths, but don't eat them, just to get over the craving.

Xie Wen, who always felt that there was something missing in Sanji, immediately realized after seeing this scene... The original Sanji was a chain smoker!

But let alone special cigarette papers on this island, you can't even find any ordinary paper.

Moreover, Xie Wen had no intention of reminding Sanji that a kid would smoke cigarettes!

A few days later, the raft that passed the test was pushed into the sea by Xie Wen. Then, he was already prepared and boarded the raft with his two cats. With the sea wind and waves, the raft gradually drifted away from their lives. A long island.

Seeing the island getting smaller and smaller, Sanji, the only one with navigation knowledge, turned to look at Xie Wen: "Where are we going next, meow?"

Theoretically, the East China Sea should be in the east, but the seas in the One Piece world, especially the sea areas of the Grand Line, have all kinds of inexplicable weather and ocean currents, and without knowing the current location, it is not necessarily possible to go all the way east. It's the right choice.

and so……

"Why don't you ask Magic Keli?"

Xie Wen picked up the ignorant little puppet and said in Sanji's disbelieving eyes: "We will sail in whichever direction Kelly thinks we should go!"

This is not because Xie Wen is crazy. You must know that Xiao Keli’s zodiac sign is the four-leaf clover, which represents luck. Moreover, Xie Wen never encountered the Neptune type before, but Ke Li met him when he went to the beach to fry fish. , this all shows that Kelimiao is a peerless European emperor, so it is only natural to rely on Kelimiao's good luck when he has no clue.

"Although I don't quite understand what Brother Xie Wen means... Anyway, Keli can help me, right?" Keli shook her ears, raised her little paws, and pointed in a random direction following her intuition, "Then Just go that way, meow!”

"Sanji?" Xie Wen looked at Sanji, who was in charge of the helm.

"It's up to you, meow..."

Sanjimiao weakly covered his face with his little paws, and then resignedly turned the raft in the direction pointed by Kelimya.
