MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

Chapter 20 The Troubles of Happiness

Xie Wen held the fresh knife Bai Nagi in his hand, closed his eyes tightly, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

As he opened his eyes, a flash of black quickly infected Shironagi's entire knife, or rather the entire fish.

Hold the "black fish" in his hand, Xie Wen performed a hunter's knife technique, and the black color on it gradually receded. After sheathing Bai Nagi's knife, the corners of Xie Wen's mouth raised slightly...

“Finally, I have completely mastered the armament Haki.”

 Actually, awakening Armed Color Haki did not take Xie Wen too much time, but the process of mastering it was very difficult.

Although Xie Wen relied on the skills in Monster Hunter to touch the threshold of armed color domineering in advance, this also resulted in that if he wanted to activate the armed color at the beginning, he had to turn on the ghost form, or use Iai, Super Solution, Accumulation Specific moves such as force slash.

However, on the premise that you are not facing people with fruit abilities, there is actually not much difference when using these moves with or without the overlord color, because whether it is the moves in monster hunting or the armament color domineering, the biggest feature is It is to enhance one's own attack power. Even from this aspect alone, the effect of Monster Hunter's moves is actually stronger.

Furthermore, Xie Wen’s original intention of mastering the weapon color was to deal with those with fruit abilities, especially those with natural fruit abilities. Armament colors that could not be maintained for a long time were useless to him.

In fact, he only figured it out later. Using his monster hunting skills to awaken his weapon color in advance was equivalent to skipping class while playing games. Although he could skip the previous content and run to fight the BOSS, if his own strength was not enough To defeat the BOSS, skipping this class is the same as not skipping it. In the end, you still have to make up for the missed class.

After thinking about this, Xie Wen had to abandon the skills in monster hunting and try to exercise his weapon color in a normal state.

 And skipping classes before is not without any benefit. At least when re-cultivating the weapon color, you can avoid a lot of detours.

In this way, Xie Wen spent a lot of time and finally learned the Armed Color Haki completely today.

“The next step is to complete the map of this island, and then build a ship and prepare to go to sea!”

Xie Wen was a little excited when he thought about finally starting a new journey.

It's a pity that both Keli and Sanji are not here. I want to share this good news, but I can't find anyone for a while.

Just when Xie Wen was hesitating whether to continue exercising or go directly to find the two cats, Keli Meow's voice came from not far away.

 “Brother Xie Wen, Keli discovered a super big monster, meow!”

The small red figure rushed out from the bushes on the side, then climbed up Xie Wen's back on both hands and feet, put one hand on his shoulder, pointed the other hand in the direction from which he came, and said quickly: " Keli had just been frying fish at the beach, and suddenly a guy who looked a bit like a clay dragon appeared out of the sea. But it was much bigger than the clay dragon. Keli thought it might be the Sea King you mentioned, brother Xie Wen. Catlike!"

“Really? Is it still on the beach now?”

Xie Wen confirmed with Kelimiao and ran in the direction she pointed.

As one of the specialties of the One Piece world, the Neptune class should have a separate page in the hunter's manual, right?

"Of course it's still meowing!" Keli, who was lying on Xie Wen's back, shook her little head triumphantly, "It has been knocked out by Keli with a bouncing bomb, and it will never wake up for a while. ! And Sanji-nii is still watching from the side!"

 “Well done!”

Xie Wen reached behind her, patted her little head gently, and praised her loudly.

“Hey hehe~” Keli, who was praised, rubbed Xie Wen’s neck, and then asked expectantly: “Can we add new companions again?”

Regarding the hunter's manual, Xie Wen naturally informed Kelimiao early, which was also the main reason why she chose to blow up the Neptune creature instead of burning it directly.

"I'm not sure," Xie Wen said honestly, "but at least it should be no problem to get another third of the fragments."

As he spoke, he carried Kelimiao to the coast. Sure enough, there was a huge sea king lying here, but it looked more like a plesiosaur than a mud dragon.

But it doesn’t matter what it looks like. Xie Wen took out the hunter’s manual as soon as he saw it...

Well, even if he didn't do this, Sanji, who had been staying here to guard the Neptunes, would urge him to check the manual.

There are actually no surprises in the next development. Just as Xie Wen had guessed before, the manual not only unlocked the Neptune page, but also gave Xie Wen a second follower cat summoning coupon fragment. Even the color was the same as the first one. A fragment is also mainly off-white.

 When Xie Wen took out the first fragment, the two fragments were automatically combined together and became the "Following Cat Summoning Ticket (2/3.

"That's great, meow!" Sanji meow was extremely excited when he saw this scene, and said in endless reverie: "Maybe after Xie Wen, you can get the second summoning ticket after you finish exploring this island, meow!"

"Well, I was just about to tell you about this." Xie Wen stroked Sanji's cat and gave him another piece of good news, "I have successfully mastered the Armament Haki, and I will go all out next. By pushing the picture, you can also prepare a ship for going to sea."

Hearing this news, Sanji was extremely happy. He patted his chest and said, "Pushing pictures is easy, meow! I've already traveled through the entire island, meow!"

Sanji Miao, who has also undergone hard training, has also improved a lot in strength. Although it is still not as good as Sanji's performance in the comics, it is still no problem to explore areas that he did not dare to approach before.

Had it not been for the "player" Xie Wen to be present when opening the map, the exploration rate of this island would have been 100%. “Brother Xie Wen, what should I do with this sea king?”

Kelimiao obediently lay on Xie Wen's shoulder. After watching him and Sanji Miao finish their conversation, she asked in a sweet voice.

"Hmm..." Xie Wen pondered for a while, took out Shiragi and walked towards the sea king creature, "Kill it, and then let Sanji use it to make us a big meal!"

In fact, according to his original idea, he wanted to try to subdue this Neptune type and let it carry him out to sea. However, Xie Wen vaguely remembered that Neptune type seemed to only obey the orders of the mermaid princess who had awakened the power of Neptune. , others could not tame the Neptune species, so they gave up the idea.

Of course, the main reason is that the kitten lying on his shoulder is drooling into his neck, and he naturally doesn't want to disappoint Kelimao.

Besides, he was originally quite interested in Neptune meat, but the taste was secondary. The key is that according to the analysis of some Haimi and fan authors, Neptune meat mostly has the effect of enhancing physical fitness, and Xie Wen himself is the same. Those who agree with this statement…

Otherwise, how can we explain why the indigenous people here have such strong vitality, even some civilians who have not had much exercise?

 So it’s outrageous that Kuina would die from the “Supreme Grand Staircase”!

Xie Wen was complaining about the plot in the comic, while stabbing the blackened white Nagi into the head of the sea king, and then took out a hunting knife and stabbed it into the body.

 After getting a high-quality Neptune tenderloin, he tried to stab it again...

 After all, he is so big, maybe he can be stripped a second time?

 “Tsk!”

Xie Wen, who failed in his attempt, took back his hunting knife angrily, and then helped Sanji Miao to deal with this big guy...

There is no other way. Whether it is his or El Cat's extra-dimensional backpack, the internal space is limited. Without some processing, they cannot fit such a large Neptune.

That night, Xie Wen and the two cats ate a hearty Neptune meal. It’s unclear whether it can enhance their physical fitness. Anyway, the taste was really good, and even Keli Meow made her stomach ache. Full of food, he lay in Xie Wen's arms and moaned "meow, meow, meow".

“You little greedy cat,” Xie Wen rubbed Keli’s belly and nodded her little nose angrily and funnyly, “Let’s see if you dare to eat like this in the future.”

“Ah woo...Brother Xie Wen, please stop talking, meow...”

Kelimiao shyly covered her face with her little paws, and pushed her little head hard into Xie Wen's belly...

 Miao Sanji on the side was very envious.

Xie Wen moved Kelimiao in his arms to the side, then smiled and waved to him.

 “I don’t really want to be touched by you, meow…”

Sanji Meow squeezed into Xie Wen's arms and hummed while looking up to the sky, exposing his soft belly.

“Yes, yes, yes, this is because I want to thank you for the feast you cooked tonight, and I took the initiative to give you a massage, Sanji.”

 Xie Wen didn’t expose this arrogant cat who didn’t mean what he said, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cat-catching business.

Sigh... If I summon more cats in the future, my two hands may not be enough... In addition to the flower fruit, I don't know if there are any clone fruits or human fruits, phantom beast species, and one of the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara forms. A devil fruit that can give you a few extra hands.

 Xie Wen, who has a cat in each hand, is happily troubled.

There are many opinions about the color of Armed Color Haki, but there is no official explanation.

Anyway, in my opinion, Oda probably didn’t think much about the color issue at first, that is, the earliest Garp was able to hurt Luffy’s “colorless Haki”, and when Zhan Momomaru first appeared, he didn’t show any color. .

As for the coloring later on, the main reason is most likely the comic’s expression technique. Otherwise, how can readers intuitively know that the character uses domineering?

It was not until the black sword was refined with domineering that the official decision was made, and black was designated as the main expression of domineering.

As for the red-black, purple-black and so on, I feel that it is more to distinguish the characters, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Of course, I don’t rule out that Oda will have some new ideas in the future, but at least so far, I still write according to my own understanding of Armed Color Haki.

　　…

The character card has been updated. It will take some time to review. Remember to show your preference to the cats~

By the way, in the last chapter of the first chapter, I attached a picture of Xian Dao Shirona, it’s just a pixel...╮(╯▽╰)╭
