Pirate: Admiral is really a cat

"But Keya...am I too sensitive?"

"What's wrong, Usopp?"

"Has your family...had a cat before?"

"No? Because of my poor health, my parents have never kept animals at home."

"Then this is strange. I picked this up when I was passing by the garden." Usopp said as he took out a few animal hairs from the pocket of his overalls. "This is obviously cat hair. ?”

Keya is also a little curious.

"This was found in my house?"

"Yes, it's in front of the flowers." Usopp nodded, but immediately didn't care so much, "Oh, maybe it was left by a cat that accidentally broke into your flowers. After all, this yard is very big. , it’s normal for some small animals to run in occasionally.”

"Oh, these are not important! Usopp, what adventure stories can you tell me this time?"

"Uh... let me think about it, ah! Yes! This time I am leading eight thousand younger brothers..."

"Huh? Didn't you just say five thousand?"

"Recently, my adventure group has expanded its membership!"

"Then there must be a lot more interesting people, right?"

"Yup……"

……

In the evening, Usopp finally left.

Being able to see Keya become more energetic day after day is Usopp's biggest wish.

The girl who lived in such a big house but was always unhappy seemed to be a thing of the past.

Thinking of this, Usopp walked home much faster.

But his smile slowly solidified on his face, and then gradually melted and disappeared.

The door of my home seems to weigh a thousand pounds...

But the young man still managed to keep his spirits up and let a smile hang on his cheeks again.

But this time, the smile was much more forced than usual.

"Mom! I'm back!"

Usopp opened the door and spoke in a deliberately raised tone.

Not long after his father Jesus went to sea, Usopp's mother Benchina suffered from a serious illness that was difficult to cure. Although she would not die, she could only linger on the bed for a long time.

Usopp only started lying when his mother became seriously ill.

People in the village also know it, so they can be said to be very tolerant of Usopp's lies, and they can also help the mother and son.

Until today.

"Usopp, are you back?"

Usopp, who had pushed the door halfway open, suddenly froze on the spot.

My mother's voice... Why does it sound so powerful! ?

And from the sound, it sounds like they are making the bed!

With how weak my mother is, how could she possibly do it? ?

A word that he had heard before suddenly popped into Usopp's confused mind...

Back to light.

"mom, Mom, Mom!"

Quickly pushing the door open, Usopp saw his mother who should be in bed to recuperate. At this moment, she was actually making her bed with a happy and relaxed expression. She had a strong figure and steady movements. It was impossible to tell that she was a woman who had been bedridden for many years. .

After she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw her son standing inside the gate, breathing heavily and with a face full of disbelief.

He smiled slightly, as gently as when he comforted his young son on the hospital bed.

"It's been really difficult for you these past few years, Usopp."

"Mommy mommy!"

Usopp burst into tears instantly, tears and mucus falling down his face like a waterfall.

Then he threw himself into his mother's arms.

"I'm fine, Usopp."

"Woooooooo..."

Usopp, who was crying, couldn't hear Benchina's explanation at this time, because his mind was filled with the words "Return to Light"!

Reflection = the last strength before death.

Thinking of this, I even cried louder.

Even Banzina felt a little confused.

My illness is better, why is this child crying more than when I was seriously ill?

"Well, Ms. Benchina, I can probably guess why Usopp is crying."

The voice coming from the side made Usopp choke, and he looked to the side as if he had seen a ghost.

He saw a big cat squatting on a chair next to the dining table in his home, looking at him with a critical eye.

At this time, Usopp, whose mind had long been in a mess, suddenly thought of the cat hair he picked up among the flowers of Keya's house today.

"Cats can talk!? The cat hair I picked up at Keya's house today is yours!?"

"???"

Kate was actually confused.

Is this kid’s divergent thinking too strong?

He was really fooled!

Although she entered Keya's house once, after confirming Iska's condition, Kate was not in a hurry.

So he came to the village first.

When I was passing by Usopp's house, I was attracted by the violent coughing inside the house.

Then I saw the woman who inherited the long nose from Usopp.

Fate is coming soon.

This was Kate's first judgment.

But now that he has been touched, the judgment just now will become a thing of the past.

With his current ability, casting a holy healing spell is basically the same as playing.

But for Benchina, that is the miracle of life.

Because the healing technique of holy healing is comprehensive, otherwise Lu Jiu would not have been completely cured at the beginning.

So the symptoms of weakness and muscle atrophy that come with being bedridden simply don't linger.

"You really look like your dad." Kate nodded, "Except for the long nose, you look almost exactly the same."

Kate's words made Usopp frown, his father! ?

Do you know this cat?

"You, have you seen my father!? Where is he now!? Also, what kind of... creature are you?"

The continuous questioning meant that Usopp had gradually recovered from the shock.

Now his mind was filled with countless questions.

"What a rude statement you made. You actually asked me what kind of creature I am? I am a cat, the cat that just cured your mother." Kate rolled her eyes and licked her paws, "As for you That guy daddy... he's in the red-haired pirate group."

"The Red Hair Pirates?"

"That's right, one of the four pirate kings in the Grand Line, one of the companions of "Red-Haired" Shanks, the sniper Jesus Bu."

"Dad is indeed alive! And just like he said, he has become a brave sea warrior!"

Kate frowned, feeling a wave of unhappiness in her heart as she looked at the long-nosed boy who almost blindly worshiped her father.

In the past, I might have hesitated because every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.

But now... Bah!Since it’s hard to pronounce, let’s make it simple!

"But your dad, in my eyes, is a complete bastard."

Kate snorted, her displeasure overflowing.
