As the primary doctor responsible for restoring Whitebeard health and granting him the freedom to drink, extracting a vial of blood from him was naturally no difficult task for Haibara Meow.
Furthermore, the little kitten had informed Whitebeard of her purpose before drawing the blood, and he hadn't minded at all.
Even so...
"You still have to get Old Man Newgate personal consent first. I won't speak on your behalf, meow."
(=`ー=)
Haibara Meow crossed her arms, adopting an attitude of strict impartiality.
"Uh... let forget it then."
Sabo pondered for a long time before shaking his head and choosing to give up.
Although he was very envious of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, and with Ace connection, Whitebeard would likely agree to his request, still...
Ace, as well as the others in the Whitebeard Pirates, would probably have mixed feelings about it.
There were many excellent abilities out there, and Sabo felt there was no need to fixate solely on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Besides, people had eaten the Tremor-Tremor Fruit before Whitebeard, but let alone reaching Whitebeard heights, few could even be called great pirates.
Devil Fruit abilities were important, but the key lay in the person using the fruit Sabo was well aware of the primary and secondary relationship here.
Then, after looking at the list of abilities provided by Haibara Meow...
Sabo chose the String-String Fruit of "Heavenly Yaksha".
Its combat power was not weak, it provided mobility, control, and healing, it could create clones, and most importantly, it had the divine skill of the Birdcage, which could isolate the inside from the outside.
These were all reasons for Sabo choice, and he did not believe his own development of the fruit would be any worse than Doflamingo.
In fact, the String-String Fruit was also one of the abilities Sherwin had once wanted to acquire.
But now... he was already very casual about acquiring abilities.
It couldn't be helped, there were too many abilities to choose from, and he wasn't in urgent need of a Devil Fruit ability to boost his strength.
Perhaps this was the luxury of a "rich man".
After the ability was selected, Haibara Meow did not immediately perform the blood transfusion for Sabo.
"Don't eat anything for the next few days, and empty your stomach meow."
(=`ー=)
The little kitten maintained her serious expression, "Or, if you're in a hurry..."
She reached into her spatial bag, rummaged around, and pulled out a bottle of pale yellow potion.
"I also have strong laxatives available. It takes less than twenty minutes to completely empty all the impurities from your stomach and intestines! The only cost is a bit of weakness and slight dehydration meow!"
(=)
Speaking of her own potions, Haibara Meow finally changed her expression. She looked at Sabo expectantly, obviously hoping very much that he would drink it and try it out.
"Ahaha... I think I'll pass on the laxatives..."
Sabo chuckled dryly, taking two steps back and waving his hands in refusal.
Are you kidding? He had seen a certain cow cat "accidentally" drink Haibara Meow potion before.
"Wait a minute!"
∑(=ΦДΦ=)
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Just as Sabo thought of Touma Meow, he immediately joined the conversation: "Isn't this the Dash Juice you gave me last time, Little Haibara meow?! No wonder Mr. Kamijou suddenly got diarrhea a while ago meow!!!"
"Hm?"
(=ω=)
Haibara Meow froze upon hearing this, then quickly popped open the cork, placing the potion under her nose to sniff it gently.
"What going on?! Why did the laxative I specially prepared for that idiot Sherwin turn into Dash Juice meow?!"
"Hey! You seemed to have just said something very dangerous?!"
Sherwin yanked the ill-intentioned, black-bellied little kitten over and pinched her cheeks.
However, at this moment, Haibara Meow had no time to worry about a certain cat tree "disrespect." Instead, she quickly pulled out a bunch of bottles and jars, checking them one by one, and found several more potions that had been mixed up because of their similar colors.
If it were just one mistake, it could have been her own temporary oversight, but with so many appearing all at once, it definitely wasn't her own problem...
(=ˇˇ=)
The little kitten frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
"Did any of you enter my lab meow?!" (ω)
Haibara Meow turned her head to look at the Felynes of the investigation team, and her gaze mostly fell upon her fellow allies of the Little Troublemaker Alliance.
"Klee doesn't know! Klee definitely didn't sneak into Sister Haibara lab with Vodka and then accidentally knock over one of the shelves meow!"
(ω≡ω)
A certain little idiot who loved playing with fire and bombs shook her head vigorously while giving herself away.
Everyone/Felynes: "…"
"Un-unfortunate meow…"
(-)
Kamijou-san, who was habitually caught in the crossfire, had already lost all will to live.
"Wooo—!"
Sensing that things were bad, Vodka decisively made a run for it, swiftly darting into the cabin and disappearing from sight.
Haibara Meow coldly glanced at the fleeing figure of that stupid dog, not feeling anxious at all in her heart.
Anyway, with the Dodo Advance around, it was useless no matter where Vodka hid, so there was no rush to go and trouble it.
As for the other troublemaker, Klee Meow, Lord Huamei would naturally discipline her.
Watching the dejected little Ragdoll Felyne get dragged into the confinement room by her ears by Huamei, Haibara Meow, who had nothing else to do for the moment, slipped back into her lab once again…
Saint Saturn skeleton was still being analyzed!
Meanwhile, Dragon and the others gathered around the ability list left by Haibara Meow, discussing which abilities to choose and who to allocate them to.
As for Sherwin, he finally had time to call Morgans.
"Wahahaha! Sherwin! You finally called me!"
The ringback tone in the receiver had only sounded once before the call was connected on the other side. Apparently, Morgans had been waiting right by the Den Den Mushi for Sherwin to call.
"You guys really did something big! Mary Geoise is almost completely destroyed! Pangaea Castle has also collapsed by more than half! Even the Red Line was smashed with a gap by that huge cat food can!"
Without needing Sherwin to ask, Morgans excitedly reported their achievements all at once.
"Just talking about it isn't clear! I'll transmit the photos to you right away!"
Still without needing Sherwin to speak, the excited Morgans proactively started transmitting the photos taken by the birdmen to him.
"The birdmen reporters said that when that cat food can smashed down, a figure resembling a demon appeared above Pangaea Castle. Is that the Imu you mentioned?"
During the process of transmitting the photos, Morgans did not stay idle either, continuing to chatter on and on.
"A Devil Fruit that turns into a demon, this is the first time I've ever heard of it. Could it be that the reason Devil Fruits are called Devil Fruits is precisely because of Imu ability?"
Hmm? This was actually an... novel way of thinking.
Regarding the lore of Devil Fruits, it had always been that they were the "incarnations of the sea devils." But according to Vegapunk research, Devil Fruits should be the possibilities of human evolution pursued by people, which was the so-called "born from wishes."
Furthermore, normally speaking, even if a fruit that granted incredible abilities caused one to lose the ability to swim, it shouldn't be too likely to be crowned with the name of "devil" either.
However...
"Who knows? Anyway, we've been calling it that for so many years, it impossible to change it now."
Sherwin shrugged indifferently, and then got down to business with Morgans.
"Speaking of Imu, there something I need your help with..."
"Are you finally ready to reveal his existence to the world?!"
Morgans grew even more agitated. His excited state made Sherwin unable to help worrying that he might suddenly pass out from it... It seemed like he had a similar situation in the manga.
"Yes, but for the time being, do not publish it in the form of newspapers. Instead, spread it in the shadows."
The limited knowledge of communication studies from his past life told Sherwin that with certain things, the more they were rumors, the easier it was for people to believe them, whereas no one would believe an official newspaper report instead...
Especially given the premise that the World Economic Journal already had a lot of prior offenses.
"...I understand... Leave it to me."
Hearing that it couldn't be directly published in the newspaper, Morgan mood instantly plummeted. After agreeing half-heartedly, he decisively ended the call.
