"Xie Wen, sweetie~ You're back, meow~"

When Xie Wen and the others returned to Elegia laden with spoils, Shalmeow immediately turned into a streak of lightning and threw herself into his arms, then rubbed her little head hard against his cheek, fussing for affection.
"All right, all right~ Haven't we been seeing each other every day?"
Xie Wen stroked Shalmeow's back and soothed her gently.
Although they had stayed on Egghead Island these past few days, Uta's singing had drawn them into the Sing-Sing Fruit World every day to meet the other cats. Their visits had been short, but there had still been enough time to pet every cat.
In fact, Xie Wen had considered connecting Uta's Sing-Sing Fruit World to Vegapunk's brain-in other words, Punk Records.
The main reason Uta could not maintain the Sing-Sing Fruit World steadily was that her mental strength, or rather, her brain activity, could not keep up. Meanwhile, Vegapunk's brain had been growing constantly since he ate the Brain-Brain Fruit, and the Sing-Sing Fruit World could also fulfill his vision of a "Brain Domain Network."
Moreover, with Uta involved, control over "network" access would not be monopolized, and the risks would be greatly reduced.
One could say that the abilities of the Sing-Sing Fruit and the Brain-Brain Fruit, along with Uta's and Vegapunk's respective visions, complemented each other in a positively earth-shattering way.
In the end, however, Xie Wen had not mentioned this to Vegapunk, because there was still an unstable factor among his satellites: York, the embodiment of "desire." Even if he wanted to bring Vegapunk and Uta together to create a "Metaverse," that would have to wait until after the World Government was overthrown.
"How is that the same, meow~? The Xie Wen in the Sing-Sing Fruit World isn't real~"
