One day later......

Gion and his men turned over the entire island of Sneeks and plowed it again, so they could find the trap door in the cave.

When they found the switch and successfully entered, they only saw the giant snake that had been thoroughly roasted.

Not even a single hair of the treasure was found.

However, many small fragments of precious metals can be found on the ground inside the cave.

Ike didn't bother to collect these little pieces.

"Does it seem that someone took the treasure first?" Gion frowned and looked at the giant snake that smelled of roasted meat, "The flame ability to do this...... Is it Marko? Charlotte Irving? Or was the burnt fruit in the illustrated book eaten by someone? ”

If the first two led people to snatch the treasure, in fact, forget it.

I'm afraid it's the latter, and there is a person with a strong natural fruit ability who has an unclear position.

This man is much more important than treasure.

If he becomes a pirate, he is at least a powerhouse at the level of the Seven Martial Seas.

"The report will show that there are no more places on this island where there is any possible treasure on this island, so it can be determined that the treasure has been taken first."

"Well, write out the mission briefing on the way back, and then list the flame powerhouses and their forces as vested interests that may get hold of this treasure."

Gion didn't bother with it, treasure is such a thing, the navy just treats it as an extra fast.

If there is more of this kind of extra money, the treatment within the navy will be improved, so that the position of the navy can be more stable.

When talking to the world government, the waist can be stiffer.

It was not the original intention of the Navy to completely become a minion of the ruler for the sake of military spending......

At least not what most navies were originally intended.

"Alright, since there is nothing left, gather the troops immediately, and we should leave this island."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Peachrabbit!"

……

Ike calmly crouched in the big tree outside the cave, waiting for the navy to come out of the treasure house.

Based on Gion's attitude towards him at the beginning, it is estimated that it will be absolutely fine to leave on a tailwind.

So he saw the right time, and after coming out of the cave in Gion, he saw the time for his men to leave to gather his troops, and jumped down from a high branch.

Leap straight to the tower.

"Huh? Where did you run from? ”

Gion looked at the cat emerging from the shadows of the canopy.

Before Ike appeared, she didn't even notice the other party, and she didn't even react at the first time.

Although she didn't see and hear domineering, her basic five senses and six senses on weekdays were also quite keen.

Even if the felines have the talent bonus of stealth and sneak attack ability, her dignified elite lieutenant general won't even be able to spot a beast, right?

Is it because the task is too easy, so you are also lax?

Gion gave himself a plausible reason.

"Meow!" Ike shouted as he climbed up to Gion's shoulder, "Meow meow! ”

"What are you talking about? Is it because you are reluctant to give up your sister and want to go home with your sister? ”

"Meow! Of course. ”

“…… I must have worked too much, how can a cute 'ordinary' kitten talk? ”

Gan, ordinary kittens, right!?

Ike looked at Gion, who was over two and a half meters tall......

Compared to her, he seems to be really at the level of an ordinary kitten.

"Is it weird that Ben Meow can talk?"

Gion nodded very solemnly, and then asked, "Devil fruit?" ”

Indecisive Devil Fruit.

Ike complained to himself, then jumped off the shoulder of Momoto Gion and pointed in the direction of the coast with his claws.

"Come with Ben Meow."

With that, he went into the jungle.

But Gion's curiosity was completely aroused this time, and he caught up with Ike without even needing to "shave".

"Oops, the kitten is running so fast."

"Hmph, woman."

Ike obviously couldn't do anything but snort.

Gion, a candidate for a general, is almost invincible in front of Ike now.

Ike doesn't fully understand his own strength now, after all, there is no reference for actual combat.

The conclusion that it is not as good as Luffy at the beginning is actually based on speculation.

But he can be sure that he must be much stronger than the trash fish, but there is still no comparison with this kind of top-notch existence above the sea.

However, with the system, we will definitely be able to improve our strength sooner or later.

When the time comes, it will become a real "delicate little wild cat".

Gan, every time I think of this damn system name, Ike wants to be reincarnated.

"Meow!"

After a long run, Ike came to the shore and plunged headlong into the water.

Although his fur was wet, he instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, but whether it was rolling in the sand or licking his ass with his tongue, it was not accepted by his soul.

So the instinct of the body, you may have to be wronged for a lifetime.

But other than that, he is very used to it, such as licking his claws and paws when he has nothing to do.

It's not stressful, after all, you don't shave like a real cat.

"See, Ben Meow is a cat that can swim casually, it can't be a Devil Fruit ability."

"Well, you're a weird little creature."

"Hey, how do you look at this meow, it's a cat, right? What's the deal with small creatures? ”

"Do you know any other talking cats?"

"Don't talk about cats! Ben Meow doesn't even have something to chat with on this isolated island! ”

"You've always lived here?"

"Ever since I had a memory and can speak, it's here."

This sentence is not lying at all, it has been on this island for more than a month.

But when it came to Gion's ears, it was a different story.

A highly intelligent creature that can talk, living alone on an island where it cannot communicate with others.

“…… Are you going to come with me? ”

"Of course, if I hadn't run into you, Ben Meow would have been ready to leave the island by swimming."

"Swim out of ......" Gion reached out and lifted Ike out of the water, then rolled him up with his cloak, revealing only a wet funny cat head, "I didn't find a treasure, but I found something rarer." ”

"How did Ben Meow hear the tone of his mouth that he was ready to show off to his colleagues, hey!"

"Of course! A cat that has never eaten a strange Devil Fruit, but can talk, is worth showing off no matter how you think about it! ”

Ike rolled his eyes and let Gion take him in his arms and board the warship.

It's a bit like a pet, but it's nice to be able to get out of this isolated island.

As a wild kitten, is it normal to have a bad stomach? It's like a soft bite.

Rich woman, hungry, hungry, rice.

Following the general candidate, at least it is much better than following the pirates and the revolutionary army.

"Little creature, do you have a name?"

"Gan, woman, you remember to Ben Meow, Ben Meow is a cat!"

"It's called Ike."
