Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Super Rookie
In response to Tahir's question, both the cat and the dog remained silent.
Yes, if we use these illusory "conventions" and "traditions" to stop young people from taking action.
What kind of "freedom" is that?
But the centuries-old tradition of the Fur Tribe...
"Since you insist on working for the World Government,"
An old voice sounded from a distance.
Musketeer Captain Sicilian slowly walked out, supporting a wrinkled old man.
"Cat Granny!?"
The cat viper bounced its round body and jumped to the side of the old cat that had curled up into a ball: "You..."
Granny Cat waved her hand to interrupt Viper Cat's question, and continued to walk slowly towards Tahir with the support of Sicilian.
"We are isolated from the outside world. Over the past few hundred years, only a handful of young people have left Zou, but they all abide by the 'promise' - not to work for the World Government."
"Tahir, you were different from others when you were young, but I never thought you would take this path."
Granny Cat panted slightly, as if every word she said was a huge burden for her.
"I allow you to leave Zou,"
Granny Cat raised her head, her narrow eyes gleaming with brilliance: "But you have to return the 'token' of the Fur Tribe."
"A token..."
Granny Cat looked at the child she had watched grow up with pity, sighed, and then tremblingly took out a red fruit from her arms.
"Eat it, and cut off everything between you and the Mink Tribe... everything..."
Dylan, who was standing behind, frowned.
This old cat, is he planning to poison someone and claim he's innocent?
If he really poisoned Tahir, would he really go on a killing spree in Zou?
This guy "Elephant Master"...
Although he is not afraid, if the "Elephant Lord" goes crazy because the Fur Tribe was exterminated, he may not be able to subdue it.
Tahir looked at Grandma Cat's eyes. For some reason, he seemed to see a hint of smile and encouragement in Grandma Cat's eyes.
"Mother-in-law..."
Tahir reached out and took the fruit and looked at Grandma Cat.
Granny Cat nodded at him imperceptibly.
When the red fruit went down his throat, Tahir's whole body tensed up, and then a strange tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
Dylan was watching him from a distance. If anything went wrong, he would take Tahir away as quickly as possible.
As long as he didn't die instantly or was chopped into pieces, Shirleyman could help him recover.
"Haha…ho…ho…"
A hoarse roar came out of Tahir's mouth, and a feeling like being burned by fire covered his whole body.
Dylan in the distance glared.
Tahir...the fur on his body is falling off! ?
Inuarashi and Cat Viper also looked incredulous, and the other Minks were even more terrified.
What is going on·····
Why·····
Tahir turned into a hairless monkey! ?
When Tahir raised his head again, his animal ears, his fox-like face, and the fur on his body had all disappeared.
"Grandma Cat...he...you..."
Cat Viper pointed at Tahir, then tremblingly looked down at Grandma Cat.
"He is no longer a member of the Fur Tribe. I have taken back his racial characteristics and his ability to use electricity."
After saying that, Granny Cat slowly turned around and left: "Let him go wherever he wants to go and whoever he wants to be."
Tahir raised his hand and looked around. The surprised looks of his compatriots made him feel distressed.
"Boss Cat Viper..."
Cat Viper waved his hand before he could say anything. "That's not necessary. Since you are no longer a member of the Mink Tribe, the 'traditions' and 'promises' have nothing to do with you. Of course, your safety has nothing to do with Zou either."
After shaking his whiskers, Cat Viper finally sighed: "Take care of yourself... Tahir."
After saying that, Cat and Dog left with the help of the Musketeers and the Knights.
The others also dispersed.
Only Pedro and Jepo remained.
"Brother Pedro..."
Pedro stepped forward and held Tahir's shoulder: "Don't blame them, and... have a good trip."
······
"Have you thought about it?"
Dylan looked at Tahir, who had become gentler and more reserved.
His appearance has changed a lot, but his aura and demeanor remain the same as before.
Tahir spread out his palms, and the sharp claws disappeared, leaving only bamboo-like slender fingers.
"I've thought about it. Both 'Power of Electricity' and 'Lion of the Moon' have been taken away. I can't be without power if I follow you."
Dylan knocked on the table and stared at Tahir, who was more handsome, whiter and more beautiful than before: "Even without these two powers, your fighting ability is not weak."
Tahir shook his head. "Not enough. I can foresee who my future enemies will be. The little strength I have left cannot be your strength. So... please give me strength for the 'new era'!"
Looking at Tahir's soft face, the fox mask hanging around his waist, and the small folding fan next to the mask, Dylan chuckled.
"Sometimes, I also think that fate is really magical, so magical that it scares me. It even makes me feel like I'm being manipulated."
Dylan pulls out a devil fruit from the ring.
This is one of the two that were exchanged from the Five Elders for the Surgery Fruit.
The first "Ashura Fruit" has been used by Shiryu.
"If I'm not mistaken, this fruit is almost 100% compatible with you."
Tahir was a little confused. Although he had read many books and had seen some devil fruit illustrations, he had never seen what this fruit looked like.
"yes·······"
"Animal System - Dog-Dog Fruit - Mythical Beast Species - Tamamonomae Form"
······
It is the year 1519 in the Yuan calendar.
"Ho~? Another amazing newcomer? And he's from the nature department."
Bellmaire and his friends still like to gather in Dylan's room to chat, and Dylan can't do anything about it.
"The power of nature? That's really powerful!" Tom laughed aside.
When Dylan heard the word "natural", he paused in his rocking chair.
Are you here? Ace.
"It seems that he said he rejected the invitation of the Shichibukai. Really, shouldn't there be only seven Shichibukai? Is it possible that some weak guy will be removed from the list?"
"It should be Moria." Xilu crossed his legs and thought for a while.
"'Tian Yasha' and 'Sand Crocodile' are also possible. I heard that they are doing some bad things recently. Really, even though this waterway is almost blocked by us, 'Tian Yasha' always finds a way to break through the blockade."
"Tom,"
Dylan lifted the newspaper from his face and said, "Find this new guy and test his quality. Don't beat him to death. He is the son of your old friend."
"Old friend?"
Tom was stunned for a moment, trying to recall which old friend had such a powerful descendant.
"Ah...your old friend, the 'Pirate King' - Gol D. Roger!"
