Monster Hunter of the One Piece World

This move of Suika Meow was actually developed only after she met Aokiji.

After seeing Aokiji, Sherwin suddenly remembered something: liquid nitrogen at high density is obviously used for cooling, so why did the ability Suika Meow used manifest as a fire attribute instead?

So he brought this question to Suika Meow...

And was immediately mocked by Haibara Meow on the side.

Then, during the gaps in that sarcastic teasing, the little kitten took the chance to roughly explain the basic principle to Sherwin, whose physics was clearly terrible...

Well, although the foolish Hunter still didn’t really understand it, he indirectly gave Suika Meow a new idea: compress the nitrogen in the air to create liquid nitrogen, then throw it onto enemies to inflict ice-element damage.

And that led to the move she had just used: "Freeze : Ethereal Compression Shot."

"Roar—meow!"

As the first one in real combat to taste the power of this technique, Cat Viper immediately let out a miserable howl.

His massive body trembled uncontrollably from the cold, and he even dropped the weapon in his hands onto the ground.

Suika Meow naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to beat a foe while he was down.

Swinging the Ibuki Gourd in her hands, she smashed it straight down toward Cat Viper.

"Demon God — Noble Lost Power, meow!"

However, the freezing energy created by Suika Meow still couldn’t compare with Aokiji Ice-Ice Fruit.

So although Cat Viper had been frozen quite badly, he didn’t turn directly into an ice sculpture like most of Aokiji opponents.

What more, Cat Viper was someone who could exchange blows evenly with Jack when Jack hadn’t lost his sanity.

After the initial moment of being caught off guard, he quickly found a way to respond and managed to pull the situation back a little.

Even so, Suika Meow own strength wasn’t much weaker than Jack. In addition, both sides were mindful of the Ancient Whale Tree and both understood that this wasn’t a battle to the death,

so neither of them was going all out. As a result, the two cats were locked in a dead heat for the time being.

The situation with Jinx and Haibara Meow, however, was quite different...

Inuarashi defeat was already apparent. It probably wouldn’t take long before he was subdued by these two kittens from the juvenile group.

In terms of pure individual strength, even if you doubled the combined power of Jinx and Haibara Meow, they still wouldn’t be a match for Inuarashi.

But once a fragile ADC gets proper support, the result is no longer as simple as 1+1=2.

Right at the beginning of the fight, Haibara Meow applied a triple set of buffs to Jinx:

demon mode, Hardening, and Dash enhancement, while also sprinkling Inuarashi with paralysis, sleep, poison, and other debuffs.

The most crucial part was...

This little schemer had also mixed in Recovery Medicine 1306... in an enhanced version.

This thing was developed by Haibara Meow after studying the conceptual "taste" of Devil Fruits. On the basis of 1306,

she created a strengthened flavor type whose "bad taste" was at least three times worse than the original. The flavor was so terrifying it could directly cause physical damage...

Don’t ask how Sherwin knows that!

Even more frightening was that it still retained the original properties of recovery medicine.

While inflicting terrible pain and real damage on the enemy, it simultaneously healed the injuries it caused.

So Sherwin gave it an extremely fitting name — the Satan Potion.

Furthermore, for the canine Furfolk with particularly sensitive noses, the effect of the vaporized Satan Potion would absolutely be several times stronger than for others.

Under such conditions, the fact that Inuarashi could still hold on this long already proved both his strength and his willpower.

Seeing that Inuarashi could persist even like this, Haibara Meow cute little face showed an even more eager expression...

Perfect — she could use him to test the new medicines she had developed recently!

At her urging, Shirley split into several more clones, which were then filled with various potions of different colors.

This was no longer the Slime Rainbow Squad — it had become the Slime Color-Palette Squad.

"Tsk, tsk... this is really miserable... I almost can’t bear to keep watching. As expected, when scientists start studying combat, that when things become truly terrifying."

Sherwin watched Inuarashi screaming while fighting, occasionally freezing up from paralysis, and even suddenly falling asleep mid-battle, and commented from the side with a hint of sarcasm.

"Meow... Haibara big sister potion is so scary, meow!"

(=Д`=)

Klee Meow pressed both of her ears with her little paws, sinking into some very bad memories...

This little dummy, out of curiosity, had taken the initiative to lick 1306, and then couldn’t eat for two whole days.

"Sherwin, I want to try it too, meow. Check-it!"

(ゝω)~☆

Probably because she saw Haibara Meow happily testing medicines over there, Purah Meow also had the thought of conveniently testing her own guardians.

Sherwin glanced at the miserable Inuarashi, then pointed at Suika Meow, who was tangled up in a fight with Nekomamushi, and said, "Then go help Suika. Don’t keep torturing this old dog."

"That what I was thinking too. You can’t test anything useful on him, meow. Besides, my guardians are originally better suited to cooperate with Suika, meow~ Check-it!"

(ゝω)~☆

Purah Meow flipped her little paw, and three guardians only the size of thumbs instantly appeared in her hand, clearly shrunken by Suika Meow ability.

"Suika! I’m here to help, meow!"

Purah Meow threw the guardians in her hand toward Suika Meow while shouting a reminder.

"Oh my~ looks like we’ll have to find another time to really go at it, meow."

(●ω●)

Suika Meow shook her head a little in regret, then suddenly swung her paw. The pendant hanging from her paw enlarged into a meteor hammer and whipped toward Nekomamushi.

While successfully forcing him back, she flicked her tail toward the miniaturized guardians Jinx had thrown over, without even turning her head.

The three guardians still in midair instantly enlarged to about the same size as Suika Meow current form, then landed beside her.

"Bzzzt..."

Right after landing, the guardians emitted the sound of crackling electricity. Blue light bands lit up across their bodies, and three mechanical arms extended from each guardian, respectively gripping a sword, shield, and axe.

"Target locked. Commencing attack. Check-it."

The lifeless electronic voices sounded, each of them even carrying Purah Meow verbal tic.

After several upgrades, Purah Meow guardians were no longer what they used to be.

Not only had their strength, speed, and intelligence greatly improved, but with the materials enhanced by Suika Meow ability, they were far tougher.

Now, even Sherwin would need to put in some real effort if he wanted to hack them apart.

In Sherwin view, not considering kiting or other evasive tactics and looking only at straight, head-on brawling, these guardians probably wouldn’t have much trouble taking on a non-Devil Fruit pirate with a bounty between fifty million and one hundred million.

If the opponent had a Devil Fruit, it would depend on the type. Ordinary Zoan fruits and close-combat-only Paramecia users would basically have little resistance against guardians armed with seastone weapons.

However, fruits like the Mochi-Mochi Fruit or the Lick-Lick Fruit, which could restrict the guardian movements, would be able to deal with them easily.

Unfortunately for him, Nekomamushi didn’t have such abilities.

So with the guardian assistance, Nekomamushi—whose strength had originally been roughly on par with Suika Meow—was quickly subdued.

As for Inuarashi on the other side...

He lost even faster.

"Hmm, now we should be able to have a proper conversation, right?"

Sherwin walked up to Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who had been pinned to the ground, smiling like a villain.
