Monster Hunter of the One Piece World

Unsurprisingly, after listening to Sherwin version of "Felyne Saints," the Felynes one after another began placing "orders" with Purah Meow for Saint Cloth-style combat suits.

Beyond that, Shirahoshi and Yamato also placed "orders," though they requested custom-made Scale and Specter Surplices that were "faithful to the original work"...

It was a classic case of their bodies being more honest than their words.

Additionally, whether it was because the stories Sherwin and Klee Meow told were more exciting than Kozuki Oden journal, or because her horizons had expanded since going out to sea, the frequency with which Yamato rambled about Oden had dropped significantly during this period.

That "Bible" she usually kept glued to her side hadn’t been seen for several days.

One could only say that information cocoons were truly terrifying things.

To ensure Yamato broke free from the Oden virus as soon as possible, Sherwin had already begun considering whether to tell her a few segments of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or something similar.

During the time Sherwin spent leisurely telling stories to the Felynes, the sea, which had been calm for a while, gradually became lively again.

After all, neither the pirates nor the World Government were the type to stay quiet.

First, regarding the pirates—it was unclear what they were actually thinking.

They likely assumed the Felyne Investigators had only reached their current level of strength by scavenging Vegapunk technology... Though technically there was a bit of truth to that, the Investigator strength wouldn’t be much worse even without it.

I, the Hunter, rely entirely on Felynes to grow stronger!

However, those pirates were unaware of this. They only saw that Sherwin had obtained the Artificial Devil Fruit left behind by Vegapunk, and then a "Kaido" appeared on the ship...

Well, from a certain perspective, that wasn’t entirely wrong.

In short, due to the exposure of Kaido Meow and the Artificial Devil Fruit, Vegapunk hometown, the "Future Island" Baldimore, suffered several waves of pirate attacks during this period.

However, the strength of the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line was only so-so. Moreover, after Sherwin previous infiltration, Baldimore had specifically strengthened its defenses, so those pirates all returned in defeat.

In addition to these pirates hanging around the first half, BIG MOM and Kaido also took action.

As if they had reached an agreement, they invaded the territories under the rule of the World Government—specifically, all G-series Marine bases—almost simultaneously, and very tacitly divided the bases they each invaded.

Obviously, compared to going to the Future Island to pick up some leftovers, Kaido and BIG MOM wanted the "chef" Vegapunk himself.

The Marine control over the New World was already low, not to mention they had just been beaten by these two working together a while ago.

Facing the renewed alliance of the Beast Pirates and Big Mom, the Marines were caught off guard.

Several G-series bases that had only been rebuilt for a short time were torn down again, and some islands even changed hands directly, being snatched away by Kaido and BIG MOM to become their territory.

Naturally, the World Government and the Navy would not sit idly by it was only expected for them to organize their forces for a counterattack.

However, the official forces had limited influence in the New World, and low-ranking Marines were incapable of participating in battles of this caliber.

Therefore, at Vice Admiral Tsuru suggestion, Aokiji ordered the Marines who lacked sufficient strength to thoroughly clear out the territories belonging to Kaido and Big Mom in the first half of the Grand Line.

In reality, there were very few such locations—mostly just Big Mom snack factories—but at the very least, it signaled their stance and provided enough material for the newspapers to appease the civilians.

As for the actual situation...

As the conflict gradually escalated, Kaido and Big Mom showed signs of pushing toward the first half of the Grand Line and the surrounding four seas.

Evidently, after searching the G-series bases and the abandoned Punk Hazard without finding any trace of Vegapunk, they mistakenly assumed the Navy had transferred him to the first half of the Grand Line or even one of the four seas.

Sherwin was actually quite puzzled himself. Given how important Vegapunk was, why had two consecutive laboratories been placed in the New World, where the Navy influence was not particularly strong?

Regardless, the aggressive behavior of Kaido and Big Mom had deprived Aokiji of a peaceful night sleep for several days.

Under the current circumstances, his only option was to continuously redeploy Marines of sufficient strength from various locations to guard against the pirate alliance of the two Emperors of the Sea.

But it was precisely because of this that the Marine and World Government control over the four seas and Paradise further diminished during this period.

Setting aside the pirates who grew back like weeds no matter how many were cut down, the Revolutionary Army clandestine activities became significantly easier as a result.

Indeed, Sherwin influence was no longer just the flap of a butterfly wings, but rather the wings of a Legiana.

In addition to mobilizing Marines from various regions, the Seven Warlords of the Sea—which Sherwin had already withdrawn from—were naturally conscripted once again.

Furthermore, Aokiji temporarily shelved the original plan to cooperate with the Holy Knights to continue causing trouble for Sherwin, even turning around to request that the Holy Knights assist in dealing with Kaido and BIG MOM.

Considering that the pirates invading back into the first half of the Grand Line would inevitably pass through Mary Geoise—the "Abode of the Gods" that Sherwin had already burned once—the Celestial Dragons, no matter how reluctant, were forced to hold their noses and let the Holy Knights cooperate with the Marines.

Information regarding the Holy Knights was, of course, impossible to find in the newspapers even Morgans and Shakky were completely unaware of it.

The reason Sherwin knew was that Tesoro had specifically called to inform him. Tesoro had even managed to find out the general mission objectives and personnel distribution of the Holy Knights...

It seemed that these so-called elites among the Celestial Dragons, aside from possessing some strength, had brains that were still largely no different from the Celestial Dragons within Mary Geoise.

Consequently, Sherwin decisively forwarded this information to Kuma. As for whether the Revolutionary Army would take action, he was indifferent, as Sherwin himself had no intention of getting involved in this dog-eat-dog war.

Kaido holds a grudge against him, and the World Government is still plotting to find trouble for him. Even Charlotte Linlin is constantly thinking about kidnapping him to be her live-in son-in-law.

Therefore, it would be best for these three parties to fight until their brains spill out Sherwin certainly won’t go join in the chaos.

Whitebeard thoughts were clearly similar to Sherwin after planting his flag in Wano, he likewise made no major moves.

What Sherwin found curious, however...

Was that "Red-Haired" Shanks—who usually loved meddling in other business and seemed to have some murky connection with the World Government—had unexpectedly remained completely silent.

Normally, once the two sides had fought to a certain extent, he should have appeared and said, "Give me face."

But even if Shanks didn’t step in, Sherwin didn’t expect them to be able to counterattack back into the first half of the Grand Line.

After all, Mariejois still stood between "Paradise" and the "New World." It would be quite difficult for Kaido and Big Mom to break through that defensive line.

As for Fish-Man Island deep beneath the sea, it was instead a scene of peace and tranquility, undisturbed by anyone.

This was because the Navy and the World Government already had their hands full dealing with two Emperors of the Sea and truly did not want to provoke Whitebeard as well.

And on the side of Kaido and Big Mom...

There is no Sabaody Archipelago in the New World this time, so they cannot perform large-scale coating even if they wanted to. Moreover, they also do not want to provoke Whitebeard.

Furthermore, besides Whitebeard, there is also the Hunter standing behind Fish-Man Island.

Just as Sherwin intended to be a bystander and watch both sides suffer mutual losses, Shermie Meow and Sasha Meow suddenly ran over together.

"Sherwin-dear~" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

(=ω=)

Shermie Meow dove into Sherwin arms to act spoiled for a good while before blinking her large eyes and asking, "Do we not have a definite destination next, meow?"

"That right," Sherwin squeezed her little face and stroked Sasha Meow head as she approached, asking curiously in return, "What the matter?"

"Then, can we go to this place, meow?"

(=ω=)つ@/"

She quickly pulled out a Visual Den Den Mushi.

As the Den Den Mushi eyes projected an image, a beautiful singing voice also drifted from its mouth.

In the picture, a girl dressed in simple clothes with hair that was half-red and half-white was singing and dancing on an abandoned stage...

Sherwin: !!!
