I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates

Under the gaze of everyone (cats), Kongyu, who was "possessed" by Brooke, shook his tail slightly twice, and soon became silent again.

The next second, Brooke's soul "popped" out of Kongyu's body as if someone had pushed him.

"No... I can't. I spent a lot of effort... I can only control the fish and move its tail, and... after it is possessed, I will feel a very obvious repulsive force." Brooke's soul panted heavily as if it had undergone strenuous exercise, and then hurriedly returned to his body.

"Yo ho ho ho! It's easier to use your own body." Brooke moved his hands and feet, with a reassuring expression on his face.

Haibara Miao and Miao Erya came together again and began to murmur.

"He can control Kongyu's movements, which shows that it is still possible to control other bodies. The reason why he finds it difficult is probably because his development of fruit abilities is still at a very early stage, nya."

"It's very possible, Meow. After all, Mr. Brooke only used his out-of-body ability after Xie Wen reminded him..." Meowrya shook her head in disappointment, "Shouldn't he have already eaten the underworld?" Have the fruits been around for decades? How come the level of fruit development is still so low?”

"I heard it! I heard you guys talking bad about me!"

Brooke couldn't help but remind him.

However, Haibara Miao directly cast a disdainful look: "We are not speaking ill of you, but telling the truth, Miao... You are indeed very useless. You have not thought about developing it for decades. Show me your fruit power, meow.”

The shocked Brooke fell to his knees in despair and muttered in a frustrated posture: "I didn't know that the Underworld Fruit had these abilities. I always thought that it just allowed me to live one more time."

However, as a future member of the Straw Hats, Brooke was naturally extremely unrestrained in character, so he quickly recovered and conducted several experiments with the two scientific research cats.

"The last question," Haibara pointed at Brook's feet and asked: "Does the fact that you don't have a shadow have something to do with the Underworld Fruit?"

"No, this is another matter." Brooke's tone suddenly became deeper, "My shadow was taken away by a man two years ago."

"It is indeed Moonlight Moria... Then do you know where he is now? That idiot Xie Wen is looking for him. This is another reason why we came to this sea area."

The question that Haibara Meow asked Shadow before was originally intended to bring up the topic of Moria, so before Brooke finished speaking, she had already continued to ask.

Although he screamed like an idiot, this duplicitous little cat was actively seeking information for Xie Wen.

"W-what? What are you doing with that dangerous man?"

"Probably... looking for a fight with him?" Haibara tilted his head, then curled his lips and said, "I don't know what that idiot Xie Wen is thinking about all day long!"

"Of course I have my own business to find him." Xie Wen came over and rubbed the head of Haiyuan Miao, a little tsundere, and then, as expected, she took a bite. "But if nothing else, I will definitely still have to do it." Fight with him."

"You may not know how terrifying Moriah is. He is not a man who can be defeated easily!" Brooke advised with a serious look.

Xie Wen shrugged and didn't bother to explain to Brooke. After all, he had been wandering in the Magic Triangle all year round and was out of touch with the outside world in terms of information.

So he just said: "We must go find Moria anyway."

After struggling for a while, Brooke did not persuade him anymore, but said: "In that case, then take me with you. In fact, I have been looking for Moriah for the past two years, and I want to get my own from him. I got my shadow back, but it’s a pity that I haven’t been able to meet him again since my shadow was taken away.”

Xie Wen naturally didn't care. As for meeting Moriah, Kelimiao was still there anyway, so he was not in a hurry.

Then he let Nyajuro and Link Nya, who had been waiting for a long time, in front of Brook.

"You are also a swordsman, right? Can you spar with me, nya?" Nyajuro bowed politely, "Speaking of which, I also learned the swordsmanship of your escort team from Sir Xie Wen."

He took out the Platycodon Xiandongyue and poked it into the air a few times to prove that what he said was true.

(=`=)

Link Miao also made similar actions, but the details were different from Miaojuro.

They are also talented cutting-type cats. Like Xie Wen, they have already integrated the stabbing swordsmanship of Brooke into their respective swordsmanship styles.

"Yo ho ho ho! You are also from the West Sea?!"

Brooke asked in surprise. He didn't expect that he, Xie Wen and the others could be related in swordsmanship besides Rab.

(`ω≡`ω)

(=ω=)σ

(=`ω=)

(=)

"It turns out that little brother Xie Wen learned the swordsmanship from Xihai and taught it to you later? I really can't tell at all. You are very skilled in swordsmanship."

Under Linkmiao's explanation with a series of expressions, Brooke finally figured out the whole story.

Then……

"Wait a minute! Why can I understand what you were saying just now?! Is this some kind of fruit ability?!"

╮(=ΦωΦ=)╭

Linkmiao was used to similar questions when he was in Monster Hunter World, so he calmly spread his hands and continued to explain with his expression.

"Is it actually an innate ability? This is really strange, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho!"

Brook accepted this setting easily, and then drew his cane sword.

"Then come on... let me test your mastery and practical application of this stabbing sword technique, whether you are really as proficient as you just demonstrated!"

Then he was beaten violently by Nyajuro and Linknya in turns, and the two cats only used their own sword-slaying skills that they had learned and developed, and did not use any Haki.

"..."

orz

Brooke, who was severely beaten, bent forward in frustration again and knelt on the deck doubting his life.

However, Xie Wen only used one sentence to immediately "resurrect" the lost Brooke——

"We're getting ready for dinner, you should be able to eat, right?"

"Of course!" Brooke ran over quickly, "I haven't eaten any food in the past decades, and I have to endure the pain of being so hungry that my chest touches my back every day... But I am a skeleton! I have no chest! There’s no back either! Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho!”

Although they had confirmed with Brooke before that he could taste and digest food, Meowry and Haibara were still very curious about how he ate, so...

"Mr. Brooke, when you are eating, can you take off your clothes and let me see how the food is digested by you? Check-it!"

(ゝω)~☆

"Of course not!" Brooke refused decisively: "I am a gentleman, and it would be too rude to be naked during meals!"

Although it's a pity that we can't see how Brooke digests food, it is a very rare thing to see a skeleton eating.

In particular, this skeleton is very bold when eating, smearing the sauce all over its face...

So how can you be a gentleman when you eat? !

Just as Xie Wen was complaining silently, a cute-looking white ghost suddenly appeared from the wall of the cabin.

"Brother Xie Wen, look! It's a ghost cat!"

(=ω=)

Kelimiao beside him naturally saw the presence of the ghost for the first time, and immediately pounced on it with shining eyes.

It's just that the ghost just circled above the restaurant, then quickly disappeared into the roof and slipped away, leaving Kelimiao to miss.

Immediately afterwards, the Dudu Forward under their feet began to shake violently, and the sound of machinery rotating outside could be faintly heard.

"It's Moria!"

Brooke exclaimed as she stood up.
