I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

Even though it was far away, Hawkeye, with his superb eyesight and first-rate observation Haki, still saw it, and he did smile.

"..."

Mihoko pulled the knife out of the water and pointed it at Click.

Click: Danger.

3

Chapter 3 Disdain.

"Run away, this bastard! Just one strike... just one strike!"

"Is this the Grand Line?"

"No, that person...that person is Hawkeye! Hawkeye Mihoko!"

"Damn it, how did we offend you?!"

Hearing the cries of his subordinates, Click was terrified but still gritted his teeth and continued to give orders.

As the culprit, he certainly knew what was going on, but as the captain, he couldn't tell the crew that he brought disaster to everyone because he couldn't hold back his laughter, right?

Having spent his entire life in the Novice Village, he thought he could dominate the New World with his own strength. He certainly didn't expect that there would be someone in the world who could split a huge ship in half with just one sword!

"What a blessing."

To be called the Overlord of the East Sea, this Krik was quite something. This wasn't because he was strong enough to escape Mihoko's clutches, but because he could organize a fleet of fifty ships.

"what are you doing?"

The kitten didn't understand and sat on the seat that originally belonged to Hawkeye, rocking back and forth.

"you do not need to know."

Of course, Mihoko wouldn't tell her that he had just been laughed at by a minion.

He used a fleet of 49 ships to cover the main ship's departure. Although it did not take him more than ten seconds to overturn these ships, the opponent was extremely lucky and used the airflow generated by his sword to escape from the doldrums, and it happened to rain heavily.

It's a very strange phenomenon. It's still calm in the doldrums, but it starts to rain heavily after leaving the doldrums. This is the most common phenomenon on the Grand Line.

Air currents reaching the sky, islands suspended in the clouds, waterfalls flowing upstream...this is the Grand Route.

Well, the reason he didn’t catch up was actually because his boat couldn’t go fast enough.

However, the fact that they could withstand the rain also meant that they had successfully escaped the doldrums when they just cut the boat. It was a pity that their small boat could only withstand the rain.

Mihoko took off his hat and put it on Yimi's head.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement [This hat is yours to keep], and you will be rewarded with 5% portal energy."

"?"

Yimi totally doesn't understand how this thing can be considered an achievement.

She sniffed the air: "Does it smell strange?"

"...If you don't like it, you can give it back to me."

But what Yimi was talking about was not Mihoko's hat at all.

She smelled a unique scent. Normally, her sense of smell was not that sensitive when she was in the human body, and it was a rainy day at sea.

Yimi tugged at Mihoko's clothes and pointed to the wreckage of the ship that had not yet sunk: "Go there."

"What?"

"There is something."

"Can't you just walk over there yourself?"

Hawkeye grabbed the black knife and rowed the boat over.

Yimi jumped onto the wreckage, sniffed the air, and finally confirmed the location and jumped directly into the water.

Mihoko frowned, reached down, grabbed her calf and lifted her upside down.

"Why are you so crazy?"

After putting Yimi back in her place, he found that the little girl who had just gotten into the water was not wet at all.

Incredible ability.

And Yimi was holding a fruit with spiral patterns in her hand.

"Devil Fruit?"

It's something that grants people superpowers in this world, and the danger is extremely low. If there is any risk, it's that if you eat a Devil Fruit without being sure of its type, you might gain a less than impressive, or even literally disgusting, ability.

But this thing is quite valuable, at least worth 100 million berries.

Although many people in the East China Sea, which is a symbol of peace, don’t even know about this thing, Click definitely knows about it.

But after all, he has so many ships and so many subordinates. If one of his subordinates accidentally gets some fruit and throws it into the cabin as if it were ordinary fruit, he, the boss, will not know about it.

Seeing Yimi open her mouth to taste it, Hawkeye snatched it away from her.

"what are you doing?"

The cat left another shoe print on his calf.

Hawkeye picked her up and threw her onto his boat: "Don't you know that one person can only eat one devil fruit?"

"Devil Fruit?"

Yimi bit her fingers.

Imagine a tree with this fruit growing bigger and bigger, and finally a demon that looks like a catfish and a toad grows out of it.

A little disgusting.

She grabbed the fruit and sniffed it. It smelled fragrant from a distance, but it smelled particularly unpleasant when she got closer and smelled it carefully.

Hawkeye held it farther away and said, "It tastes like shit. You should have tasted it before."

"I have not tried."

Yimi raised her little fist to refute, then opened her mouth and looked at him in surprise: "How do you know it tastes like shit?"

"...I heard it from others."

This is common sense in the New World. Because since the New World, Devil Fruit users, who are still rare in the Newbie Village of East China Sea, have become as numerous as dogs.

Of course, he had never eaten one before. Although devil fruits could give people superpowers, they also had the disadvantage of becoming completely powerless when exposed to seawater and seastone. He couldn't afford to be exposed to such harm when constantly wandering the ocean.

Not only is the power of the devil fruit very limited for a top-level expert like him, but if he eats a second devil fruit after having already eaten one, he will explode and die.

That's why he took the fruit away to prevent the other party from being greedy.

Devil Fruits are divided into three categories: parahuman, natural, and animal.

Among them, the natural system is the most popular one in the first half of the Grand Line, because the natural system can directly transform the body into the corresponding substance. For example, Admiral Kizaru transforms his body into light to avoid physical attacks. As long as you get a natural system fruit, you can walk sideways in the first half of the Grand Line.

But as long as you have Armament Haki, you can ignore the elementalization. It just so happens that almost every strong person in the New World has a Haki move, so in the second half of the Grand Line, the animal type that has a direct increase in strength is more popular.

"The Mythical Beast type in you is the Noble among the Devil Fruits."

Hawkeye opened the sail and headed towards the direction where Click escaped, while briefly explaining the pros and cons of the devil fruit to Yimi.

The mythical beast system is classified as a type of animal system, but while it has the advantages of the animal system, it also has enhancements similar to the superhuman system.

"Well."

This was the first time Yimi had heard of such a thing, so she raised her hand and asked, "Do the Four Emperors have Devil Fruits?"

"Yes, they are also top-notch in Haki. Do you want to learn Haki?"

Looking at the kitten sitting on his chair with her legs swinging, Hawkeye didn't drive her away, but leaned on the bow of the boat to rest.

I thought Yimi, who was targeting the Four Emperors, would be very interested, but I didn't expect her to cross her shoulders with her hands like a little adult and show a disdainful expression.

Because Hawkeye said so much, she only heard one sentence: "Devil Fruit users are afraid of sea water."

"?"

I can't understand what weird things she is thinking about.

Hawkeye stood up expressionlessly, and first used his observation Haki to confirm that there was really no one nearby: "Turn your head and cover your ears."

"What?"

Koneko warily put the devil fruit into the storage space, thinking that he was going to steal what he found.

"I need to go to the toilet."

Hawkeye.

"Oh……"

Yimi covered her ears and squatted aside.

……

The boring and tedious journey continued. It was normal to go out to sea for several days before seeing land. Even if the kitten was usually lazy, she couldn't stay idle for several days on such a small boat.

Finally, on an unknown day, after passing the Upside-Down Mountain of the Red Earth Continent, we successfully arrived at the East China Sea, the weakest of the four seas.

But perhaps because Yimi started to make trouble, Mihoko had to temporarily give up the issue of saving his face and dock the ship on an island to replenish food.

But after he got off the boat, the kitten was unwilling to follow him.

"Aren't you coming over?"

"But come here."

Yimi took small steps away from him.

When shopping with Gouyan, I have to help him carry things.

Mihoko didn't force it, and turned away: "Don't talk to strangers."

Because of Yimina's strange and powerful fruit ability, there is no need to worry about her safety.

However, the kitten couldn't stay idle after staying on the boat all day, so he started running towards the town.

This was her first time in a crowded place in the world, and she was a little frightened at first sight, because half of the people looked strangely shaped. For example, their heads were bigger than their bodies, their bodies were sturdy and their legs were thin, their arms were as long as their knees, and some were about three meters tall...

Even scarier than a cat having four ears!

Because some even have red noses!

"Red nose!"

The kitten pointed directly at him and called out.

"Who are you calling Red Nose?!"

Buggy the Clown, with a bounty of 1500 million Berries, is the user of the Split Fruit, which allows him to split himself into several pieces and make him immune to slashing attacks.

He hates being called Red Nose the most. Even if he hears a related syllable, he might think that they are calling him Red Nose.

Bucky was jumping up and down like a real clown: "Where did this wild girl come from? What are you standing there for? Catch her now!"

Following his order, several subordinates, who looked like they had escaped from a circus, surrounded him with evil smiles: "Don't be afraid, little one, uncle will take you to see the little goldfish."

"Meow!"

The skinny substitute emerged from behind Yimi.

"What is this? A bodyguard for the little girl?"

"Well!!"

The not-so-big fist hit the leader's face, knocking out several teeth and making his expression plastic.

"Ah! Wait—"

With the combination of strength B and speed A, he attacked the circus troupe with random punches, and beat them so badly that they were at a loss what to do just by relying on the power of numbers.

"useless."

After cursing his subordinates in disgust, Buggy smiled evilly, pinched a few daggers between his fingers, and gestured at the skinny stand-in twice.

His limbs split into several pieces: "You are unlucky, I, Buggy, am a user of the Split Fruit..."

"Are you a devil fruit user?"
