As the attending doctor who had restored Whitebeard's health and given him the freedom to drink again, Ai Haibara Meow naturally had no trouble drawing a tube of blood from him. The Little Kitten had also told Whitebeard her purpose before drawing his blood, and he had not minded at all.
But even so...
"You still have to get old man Newgate's own permission first. I'm not going to put in a good word for you, meow."

Ai Haibara Meow folded her arms, adopting an attitude of strict impartiality.
"Uh... forget it, then."
After a long period of thought, Sabo shook his head and chose to give up.
Although he coveted the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability, and Whitebeard would most likely agree to his request because of his connection to Ace...
Ace and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates would probably have their feelings about it.
There were plenty of excellent abilities. Sabo felt there was no need to fixate on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Besides, people had eaten the Tremor-Tremor Fruit before Whitebeard, but never mind reaching Whitebeard's heights-few of them had even qualified as great pirates.
A Devil Fruit's ability was important, but the person using it mattered more. Sabo could still distinguish which took priority.

In fact, the String-String Fruit had also been one of the abilities Xie Wen once wanted.
But now... he had become quite laid-back
