"Patong? Patong! What a nice name. Then I'll be called this from now on. I have a name, Li Li ~"
The little tanuki, oh no, Patong, heard the name that Luo Ya accidentally revealed. He thought that Luo Ya had given him the name. His eyes lit up and he was extremely happy.
In the original plot, the little guy did not have a name. This name was given to him by the Red Earl after he escaped from the city two years later.
But now, Loya beat him to it and gave him a name.
Through the conversation with Patong, Loya had also learned about the origins of this little guy.
It turned out that he was born on an unknown uninhabited island in the New World. He was different from ordinary tanuki cats. He was born to understand human language and liked plants and nature, so he never had a name.
Maybe it's the wandering fur race…Loya couldn't help but guess.
He didn't interrupt and continued to listen…
The little civet cat continued to narrate. Although he was free and unrestrained in the forest, he still yearned for friendship and kinship in the depths of his heart, so that he would no longer feel lonely.
Until one day, when he walked out of the depths of the forest, the little tanuki was pleasantly surprised to find a group of tanuki cats that were slightly different from him, but were also tanuki cats.
They wanted to join them happily.
However, he was born with the ability to speak human language. In addition, he accidentally ate the Devil Fruit and his tail was different. He was treated as a monster and chased out of the tribe, unable to join.
Even so, he often followed behind the group because he had nowhere else to go. He only hoped that the civet cat group would be moved by him one day and accept him.
However, the weather was unpredictable. One day, a group of lawless thieves suddenly came from overseas and broke the peaceful life of this island. As soon as they arrived, they began to hunt indiscriminately. It turned out that they wanted to skin them and sell them for money, and the civet cats were among them.
Although the indignant Paddon used his ability to successfully chase away a few thieves, he was still weak and could not escape the fate of being captured.
However, because the ability he displayed was extremely rare and could be sold for a good price, he avoided the cruel ending of being skinned and killed. He was locked up and taken away from this uninhabited island.
It was also on that ship that the little civet cat saw the devil fruit illustration, but it couldn't read. Coincidentally, the group of thieves talked about the devil fruit, saying that what he ate might be a devil fruit called the Dog Fruit, Magical Beast Seed, and the shape of a civet.
Finally, one night, Padong seized an opportunity and successfully escaped from the cage. However, the sea was vast and it was difficult for him to escape. However, he was smart enough to draw another version of himself and jumped into the sea in front of many thieves.
Meanwhile, his real body hid in a small box and turned into a pen to hide from the pirates 'eyes and ears. He was looking for an opportunity to escape the next time the pirates landed on the island.
In the end, before the pirates could land on the island, they encountered a shipwreck. The entire pirate ship was destroyed by the tsunami, and the pirates were all dead.
He also followed the box with the flow. If there was no miracle, he would probably starve to death even if he did not drown in the sea.
Just as the little tanuki was praying to the heavens, Loya suddenly appeared.
His mighty divine power made Patong feel as if he had seen the savior and believed that he was the messenger sent by the heavens to save him.
“……”
Alright, this life resume was really 'bizarre and twists.'
Of course, it was much more exciting than Loya, who had been holed up on Ghost Island for ten years and had only recently gone out to sea.
"You're acknowledging me as your boss just like that? Are you planning to follow me just like that?" Loya was speechless. How could a simple trip back trigger a side story?
Was it a good thing to be pestered by such a tanuki?
Of course, it was a good thing. If he could subdue this little thing, it would be a huge force.
"That's right. Don't you humans call your leader boss? Boss, I'm also very capable. Let me follow you.”
Padong said matter-of-factly. In the primeval forest, the weak would submit to the strong. Wasn't this a very normal thing?
For this reason, he had learned the term 'boss' from those thieves. It was sincere enough, right?
Luo Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was wondering why a little civet cat who had never stepped into human society still acted like a socialite.
"Boss, are you not willing to take me in? But…but I have nowhere to go. If you abandon me, I will die here.”Padong lowered his little head, looking so aggrieved.
“……”
Alright, stop acting cute. I don't buy it.
" I'm a pirate, do you know..." Seeing the blank look in his eyes, Loya pretended to be fierce and said,""Just like those terrifying people you've met. If you follow me, I might sell the skin off later!”
Padon was indeed shocked, and all the hair on his body stood on end. However, he quickly reacted and grinned." But Boss, you're completely different from those people. You're trying to scare me, aren't you, Beaver?"
Animals were very sensitive to their sixth sense, or rather, their intuition for danger. If the other party had malicious intentions towards them, they would easily sense it.
This was also why Patong had taken the initiative to show up in Loya and did not hold back.
"You really found out. Hahaha, but I have to tell you, you can follow me if you want, but you can only become my partner. Are you willing?”Loya didn't mean to scare Padon, but indirectly wanted to tell Padon about his identity.
After all, he was not a good person.
He stretched out his hand and smiled. He was like a strange uncle who sold goldfish. Alright, this bastard's appearance was quite deceiving.
No matter what he was thinking, in the eyes of Patong, he was a sunny, gentle, and kind person who was willing to provide protection for him.
"Companions? Was it really possible? "Can a monster like me have a partner…" This time, Paddon was really frightened. He looked at Loya's hand and was stunned for a few seconds. Suddenly, his eyes turned red.
"Of course, as long as you're willing, from today onwards, you'll be me, Luoya, the second member of the Calamity Pirates. From now on, no one will dare to bully you…"
"I'm willing, I'm willing. Thank you, Boss. I'll be your best partner!!”Patong cried and jumped into Loya's arms excitedly.
" Alright, let's go. You must be hungry. I'll find you something to eat…"
Loya didn't reject this large doll. She stroked Padon's head. It was fluffy and easy to stroke.
Just like that, the homeless cute-looking tanuki Patong obtained a shelter and joined the illegal group, the Calamity Pirates.
And Loya, after going out to sea, also obtained a mascot, a pet, ahem, a second companion.
Patong was officially online.
