At Sea, and a Little Too Reckless

On an island somewhere in the Grand Line,

Meldas leaned against a rock, eyeing the little thing floating in midair with curiosity.

A tiny black cat with eight tails!

Was this little thing a System?!

“Meow! I'm finally alive again!” Just then, the little creature hovering in the air actually spoke!

“You can talk?” Meldas asked, surprised.

At Meldas's words, the eight-tailed cat immediately bristled. “Of course I can!”

Whoa, someone has a temper.

“Haha.” Seeing the little thing fly into a rage, Meldas couldn't help laughing.

“What the hell are you laughing at?!”

“Useless Host! You reincarnated ten times before you finally gathered enough energy to wake me up!” the bristling cat yelled furiously.

Hearing its arrogant, infuriating words, Meldas almost punched it on the spot. “So you're the damn cat that swallowed ten lifetimes of my cultivation!”
