"Woof! Woof, woof, woof!!!"
"Stop running! You stupid dog, meow!"

With all her fur standing on end, Ai Haibara Meow was chasing a palm-sized, reddish husky all over the ship, while Xie Wen and the other cats looked thoroughly used to it.
After they left Weatheria, Ai Haibara Meow had made the Husky-Dog Fruit she had obtained from Vegapunk into a new Elemental Beasts, naturally using the Demon Drug she had prepared long ago as its core.
Xie Wen had actually asked Ai Haibara Meow to reconsider. After all, huskies were... well, those who knew, knew.
Unfortunately, Little Kitten had waited far too long for a new Zoan Devil Fruit, so she had ignored his advice.
A kitten who refused to listen naturally had to bear the consequences. A husky was a husky, all right. Ever since Ai Haibara Meow had created it and named it Vodka according to her usual habit, this scene had played out almost every day.
Occasionally, it happened two or three times in a single day.
Whether it was because its base was Demon Drug or not, Vodka was even more energetic than an ordinary husky. Add in the elemental transformation ability unique to Elemental Beasts, and when this fellow wanted to cause trouble, it was far harder to guard against than an ordinary husky.
