Hanging up the phone, Sherwin looked at the sky in the distance, which had become clear and boundless due to the explosion of "Little Girl," and sighed in annoyance.
"Tsk! I was careless... I didn't expect Uranus to have a device similar to an energy shield on it too."
The more he looked at it, the more it damn well looked like a Protoss carrier. In the annihilated ancient giant kingdom of the Pirate World, could there be a Dark Templar named Zeratul?
Although the previous "Little Girl" had also broken through Uranus energy shield and caused considerable damage to it, it probably didn't hurt its propulsion system. Therefore, after plunging downward for a distance at the very beginning, Uranus actually accelerated and slipped away instead.
On the other hand, the Dodo Advance failed to give chase immediately due to the impact of the violent airflow generated during the explosion. By the time she stabilized completely, Uranus had already run off without a trace.
Since the "Rift Herald" couldn't be snatched, then he would tear down one of the opponent "towers"!
Sherwin decisively cast his gaze downward at Sakazuki and his fleet, who were also affected by the explosion airflow and hadn't run far yet.
"Sherwin bro! Do you want Klee Meow to blow them up with 'Little Girl' meow?!"
(=ω=)
Sensing the Hunter intentions, the little ragdoll cat pounced back into his arms, asking with sparkling eyes.
"No, no, no, we can't use bombs anymore."
Sherwin hurriedly stopped her.
Are you kidding me? He was still thinking about trying to see if he could extract the Magma-Magma Fruit from Akainu. If Akainu got blown up by Klee Meow, where would he go to find Sakazuki intact remains?
A long time ago, Sherwin had tested it with some unknown pirate: if too much of the body was missing, it was impossible to extract "materials."
"Oh..."
(ω)
Klee Meow dropped her little cat face unhappily.
Not good!
Sherwin heart jumped. If the Destiny Felyne lost interest in Akainu, the probability of extracting the Magma-Magma Fruit would be very low!
Thus, the despicable Hunter rolled his eyes and put on a show, sighing with emotion, "Speaking of which, that guy Sakazuki once said that his ability is 'magma' that can even burn up 'fire,' so the Magma-Magma Fruit is the superior fruit to the Flame-Flame Fruit..."
"What meow?!"
(=◣皿◢=)
As expected, the little ragdoll fell for it. Bristling all over, she instantly jumped out of Sherwin arms, turning into a ball of fire and pouncing toward the Marine warships below.
"Then Klee Meow will show him whether his magma burns up Klee Meow fire, or if Klee Meow fire burns his magma into ashes, meow!"
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame, meow!"
Before landing on the warship, the furious little ragdoll had already spat out a massive wave of fire that resembled an ocean, engulfing the entire Marine fleet below.
And...
The fire she spat out was actually blue.
Uh... it seemed like the reverse psychology went a bit too far. This little guy wouldn't really burn Akainu into ashes, would she?
Sherwin twitched his lips, quickly patted the ship railing, and lied through his teeth, saying, "Lower down quickly! If Klee Meow doesn't use bombs, she probably won't be able to beat that many Marines."
Sabo and the rest of the Revolutionary Army soldiers: "..."
Do you want to take a look at the fleet below that has already been mostly set on fire before you speak?
"If you wanted Klee Meow to help deal with Sakazuki so you could get better loot, just say so. Saying stupid things like magma burning up fire, you can only fool that little dummy Klee Meow, meow."
(ω)
Meanwhile, the clever Haibara Meow had already seen through everything.
"Actually, what you said isn't entirely wrong, Sherwin~"
Purah Meow tilted her little head and explained like a popular science broadcast, "Magma can indeed extinguish fire, but the principle behind it extinguishing fire is similar to using sand to put out a fire.
It uses physical isolation to deprive the fire of the oxygen needed for combustion, rather than because magma burns better than fire. So the phrase 'burns up' is incorrect. If you used 'extinguish', there wouldn't be a problem, meow~ Check-it~"
(ゝω)~☆
"Ah? So magma really can extinguish fire? Then isn't Klee Meow actually in danger?!"
Just as a look of worry appeared on his face, Purah Meow continued, "But you don't have to worry about Klee, her flames aren't that easily extinguished.
And did you forget? Back on the Granite Ship, Klee already fought Sakazuki. Even when he teamed up with that Wood Style user, they couldn't do anything to Klee, meow~ Check-it~"
(ゝω)~☆
Sherwin finally breathed a sigh of relief, while also realizing he might have wrongly blamed Oda...
No, wait, in the manga, Ace really was burned by Akainu magma, so either Ace development of his fruit wasn't as good as Akainu, or the laws of physics in this world are messed up.
Scratching his head, the Hunter, who had been a subpar student whose physics grades in his past life weren't great anyway, decided he wasn't going to take the blame for this.
"I wasn't lying, Sakazuki really did say that."
Well, even if it was said in the "future."
"Hmph!"
(=`へ=)
Haibara Meow curled her lip in disdain. "A brute who only knows how to fight knows absolutely nothing about science, meow!"
As she spoke, her eyes kept darting over toward Sherwin.
Insulting the mulberry tree while pointing at the locust tree, huh?
Successfully getting the little kitten drift, Sherwin hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the scruff of the little black-bellied cat neck. He pulled her into his arms and gave her cat head a good, chaotic rubbing.
Haibara Meow naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. She waved her four little paws and scratched wildly at Sherwin hands.
"Hiss—"
Feeling a sharp pain, Sherwin drew back his hands. Looking at the red scratches on the back of his hand, he looked at the little kitten in his arms in surprise, "When did you learn Armament Haki?"
"Humph~ This isn't a very difficult skill to master meow. I just studied it a little seriously and learned it meow!"
(=`=)
Haibara Meow answered with a proud face, her little head tilting almost up to the sky.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Haibara Meow was a kitten summoned before entering the Grand Line.
Although she spent most of her time nestling in the laboratory doing research, the serious and responsible Huamei would drag her and Purah Meow, these little homebody cats, out to exercise with everyone every day, and from time to time, they would also play and fight with Klee Meow and the other mischievous cats.
The most critical point was...
She also frequently scratched and bit Sherwin, this human cat tree, in her daily life.
Therefore, Haibara Meow learning Armament Haki was actually a matter of course.
Having figured it out, Sherwin rubbed the little kitten head, and then, ignoring the mouth Haibara Meow bit down with, turned his head to look over at the Marines.
During the time he was playing around with the little kitten, the other cats and Sabo group hadn't been idle either, helping Klee Meow deal with the rest of the Marines.
However, they didn't deal lethal blows. Except for a small portion who had bad luck or fought to the death without retreating, most of the Marines were merely subdued.
According to Sabo, Dragon believed that most Marines still upheld justice in their hearts and belonged to a force that could be won over.
Sherwin didn't have much of an opinion on this. Although it would cause him to harvest fewer Devil Fruit users, the drop rate of the Hunter knife was something anyone who knew would understand.
If he just wanted Fruits, it would be better to just let Haibara Meow step in and replicate them.
As for Sakazuki...
"Why don't you use magma to extinguish a fire for Klee to see! Klee hasn't even used the more powerful purple flame yet!"
(=`Д=)
Surrounded by blue flames, with Dodo Advance, Lunastra, Nekomata, Nine-Tails, and a whole crowd of other flame summons guarding her, the little Ragdoll floated in mid-air, looking down from a high position at Sakazuki, who had multiple charred spots and an ugly expression below.
"Your magma is just inferior to Klee flames! Are you convinced now meow?!"
