Chapter 432: Climbing the Elephant [Happy Dragon Boat Festival]
Although Shirahoshi’s illustration only appeared in the Hunter’s Manual after she joined their team, the elephant master appeared on the page where Shirahoshi was after he saw it, which seemed to be different from the program.
But...
Isn’t this a good thing?
So Xie Wen didn’t care about this at all. Moreover, since he didn’t have an instruction manual or the cheat code of the system elf, it would be useless for him to care. He would not understand it in the end anyway.
Instead of wasting time, he might as well think about where to use this universal fragment.
In fact, Xie Wen didn’t dwell on this.
Now he already has 2/3 of the summoning tickets in his hand, which are the two general pools of the map pool and the monster pool, as well as the special card pool of the animal-type devil fruit that can narrow the summoning range.
So there is no need to think about it. Xie Wen will definitely use it on the animal-type card pool.
Not to mention that he also has a powerful devil fruit like the Sakura Dragon Fruit.
However, Xie Wen was not in a hurry to summon immediately. After all, he could guess that when he chose to summon with the Sakura Dragon Fruit, the new cat would probably make a lot of noise, so it would be safer to wait until he left Zou and then find an uninhabited island to summon it.
As for the new cat missing Zou's trip, that was not a big problem.
Anyway, Zou wouldn't run away here... uh... to be precise, he would stay in the second half of the Grand Line and wouldn't run far. At most, he/she could be brought here later.
Xie Wen put away the hunter's manual and the summoning ticket fragments, and gently patted the side of the ship.
"You can land, Dudu."
[Got it, meow~]
The Dudu, which was hovering above the elephant master and flying slowly with it, responded, and then controlled the Dudu floating dragon to slowly land on the elephant master's back.
As the Dudu approached, the scenery on the elephant master's back became clearer in front of Xie Wen and his friends.
In the lush forest, there is a city with a large number of stone buildings. There is also a huge whale-shaped tree next to the city. Even if there is a cloud cover, you can still see its existence clearly.
In the stone city, you can see many figures of the fur tribe shuttling through it. As the Dudu landed, the fur tribe also noticed Xie Wen and his men, and they all looked up at the sky.
"Well... Dudu, land over there."
After a careful observation, Xie Wen pointed to the obvious gate on the edge of the city and said.
After all, they are here as guests, so don't do anything too outrageous.
Dudu obediently turned around and landed in the open space in front of the huge stone gate near the elephant master's buttocks.
"Do you want to go into the city with us?"
When Dudu landed, Xie Wen patted the side of the ship again and asked.
[Forget it, meow... I can't leave the main body...]
Dudu replied a little depressed.
However, Huiyuan Meow and the others had already tested this point, so Xie Wen continued, "It doesn't matter, you can just switch to the form of the Tiger Dragon or the Golden Lion. If you feel that the body is too large and inconvenient, you can ask Suika to help you shrink it."
[Meow...] The main body of the Dudu shook slightly, but still rejected Xie Wen's proposal, [I, I don't really want to meet other people, so just leave me here, meow. ]
Although the Dudu ship spirit is a little different, the "shy" nature still exists, but compared to other ship spirits that even hide from their own people, the Dudu's shyness is only for people other than the crew.
So Xie Wen didn't force it, but just told him: "If you are really bored, just come to us directly."
[Yeah! I know, meow! ]
After communicating with the Dudu, Xie Wen led the cats down, and at this time, several fur tribes had already walked out of the city gate and were walking towards the Dudu.
"Wow! So many cat fur tribes! And I've never seen them before!"
At this time, Garrot, who was still a little loli of the rabbit fur tribe, immediately started shouting after seeing the Elu cats.
The little rabbit just kicked his feet casually and jumped over a distance of more than ten meters to Xie Wen and the others, "Are you fur tribes born outside? I've never heard adults talk about you! And the big guy over there, is he a mermaid? I saw it in the book Wanda gave me!"
I don't know if it's because the rabbit's three-petal mouth can't speak clearly, but Garrot always feels a little accent when he speaks, just like Beijing dialect to Mandarin, there is obviously no problem with it, but it's weird.
"They are the Felyne Investigation Team, the only Shichibukai who are not pirates." Wanda, a dog-fur tribe member who is as tall as Robin, walked up to Carrot, patted her head and said unhappily: "I told you to read more newspapers. They are very famous these days."
Well, it seems that it is not Carrot's problem, because Wanda also has that strange accent when she speaks... Lindberg, Bepo, Pokumus and the fur tribes in Totland do not have it.
So, this is the local "dialect" of Zou?
But then again, do the news birds under Morgans have such a wide range of business? They can even deliver newspapers to Zou, a place that moves around irregularly and has its own fog around it...
Sure enough, that bird guy is the real Pirate King, right? !
Just when Xie Wen's thoughts began to wander again, a lion fur tribe dressed like Zoro also came forward.
Unlike the chubby and silly look of Pokumus, Sicilien's appearance is very consistent with most people's expectations of lion fur tribes. His well-proportioned figure and wild lion head make him look very handsome.
"Welcome to Zou."
Sicilien, who also has a weird accent, said the welcome words, but his eyes were full of vigilance.
Aren't the fur tribes very hospitable? And there are so many cats here, why is the development of things completely different from what he thought?
Xie Wen looked at Sicilien in confusion.
In fact, it was not just him. Except for the little rabbit Carrot, the other fur tribes who came out to greet him were more or less on guard...
Jack didn't come to attack Zou at this time.
And Sicilian's next words made Xie Wen understand the reason for their vigilance-
"...The Knox Pirates have been disbanded for a long time, and Pedro is no longer a pirate!"
"Uh...you may have some misunderstandings about us because of the reports of the World Government," Xie Wen explained with a smile: "I don't kill all pirates. This time I came to Zou purely to bring Klee and the others to play."
"I said, a person with so many cat furs around him must be a good person! Kaluqiu!"
Carrot immediately jumped on Xie Wen, rubbed his face hard, and then took Klee off his shoulder and had a close hug with the little puppet.
And Sicilian's expression instantly relaxed, turned around and shouted to the back gate: "Ring the 'Welcome Bell', we have guests coming!"
