Chapter 704: 704 Small Sky Island Weatheria
"Straw Hat" Luffy, who that?
Cough, cough... it should be...
Luffy set sail early?
When Sherwin saw this bounty poster, he couldn’t help but daze for a moment.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
After all, during this period of time, the newspapers were filled with news about Uta and Sabo, who were both very important people to Luffy. With his personality, it was only natural that he couldn’t hold back and set sail early.
In addition...
Did this kid actually listen to my words and develop a good habit of reading the newspaper?
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Sherwin casually set Luffy bounty poster aside.
Even if he was Joy Boy or the Sun God, that would be a matter for after Luffy awakened his Nika form.
Right now, Luffy was just a small pirate with a very strong background, and he wasn’t worth Sherwin investing too much thought and attention into.
After that, Sherwin and the others did not continue to linger in Elegia. After all, they had seen Uta, fought the demon, and fleeced Vegapunk, so there was naturally no reason to stay here any longer.
As for Shanks and his Red Hair Pirates, they would probably have to stay for a while longer.
In any case, the distance between Elegia and Egghead Island was not far. If Shanks or someone with enough weight and strength did not sit there, it was highly likely to be occupied by those pirates who had not yet given up, serving as a beachhead to attack Egghead Island.
In addition, the Marines could not possibly ignore this "strategic location," so looking at Shanks intention, he seemed to plan to cooperate with the Marines and let them station themselves on Elegia.
With Sherwin cat-paw flag and Red Hair pirate flag there, the Marines probably wouldn’t make things difficult for Uta and the musicians who would come to Elegia for exchanges and learning in the future.
However, none of these matters had anything to do with Sherwin anymore, because he had already taken the Felynes and arrived at the small sky island Weatheria.
"Oh... there is indeed something stored inside this rope..."
Haredas, the chief climatologist of Weatheria who was dressed like a wizard, carefully observed the huge knot brought by Sherwin through a magnifying glass for a good while before giving his conclusion.
"But the technology it uses is different from our Weatheria Wind Knot, so I can’t tell what hidden inside either."
Just as Vegapunk had said, these climatologists of Weatheria were all very easy to talk to.
There were even quite a few fans of Shermie Meow, Sasha Meow, and Klee Meow among them, so when they saw Sherwin and the others arrive, these people didn’t show a hint of panic.
Instead, they welcomed their arrival with incomparable enthusiasm.
Well, it could only be said that going to Elegia this time was truly the right move.
"Then Grandpa, can you teach me the technology for making Wind Knots meow? We can bring out other technologies to exchange with you guys~ Check-it!"
(ゝω)~☆
"Also, those bubble-like things planted in the fields, can you tell me what they are used for and how to grow them meow?"
(=ω=)
Even though they hadn’t digested the huge pile of science and technology they had plundered from Egghead Island yet, the two research Felynes were still impatient to learn Weatheria unique meteorological technology from them.
"Well..."
Haredas stroked his peculiar beard, which split into two fishtail shapes at the end, and said with a hesitant expression,
"There no problem with teaching you the technology of the Wind Knot, but if Weather Balls are taken to do bad things, it could potentially throw the world into chaos."
"We wouldn’t do bad things! Sherwin-brother and we only fight bad guys meow!"
(=`н=)
Klee Meow immediately retorted with a huff.
"Exactly, exactly, Mr. Haredas, little Klee is a good kid, and didn’t young Sherwin also keep wiping out pirates before?"
The Felyne fans nearby also helped speak good words for them.
Of course, this was also related to what the Felyne Investigation Team had always been doing. Even if they were wanted by the World Government, those who understood wouldn’t think they were bad people.
"This... alright."
Haredas already had a decent impression of Sherwin and his group, not to mention Vegapunk recommendation. The most crucial point was...
He had seen the news about Wano Country back then. If Sherwin and the others wanted to cause destruction, they wouldn’t need Weatheria technology at all.
Aside from Haibara Meow and Purah Meow, Huamei Meow was also highly interested in Weatheria records regarding the climates of various places in the Pirate World. After confirming that they would be staying here for a while, she and Robin dove straight into Weatheria library.
...
"Are you really going to untie this knot?"
Haredas advised with a panicked expression, "Nature is truly terrifying. Blindly untying this knot without knowing what is stored inside could very likely lead to an extremely dangerous situation!"
Sherwin and his group had already stayed on the small sky island of Weatheria for quite some time.
During this period, the Felynes had successfully drained all of Weatheria climate technology and knowledge completely.
Regrettably, however, Purah Meow and Haibara Meow were still unable to decipher exactly what was hidden inside that knot.
And without being certain of the contents, the Felynes were likewise completely clueless about analyzing the efficacy of the rope itself.
Furthermore, over on Egghead Island, Vegapunk, who had intercepted a small section of the rope, was similarly making no progress.
Therefore, after some discussion, Sherwin decided to untie the knot to see what kind of thing was actually stored inside.
"Don’t worry, I am an ’Emperor of the Sea’ after all, so I still have the strength to protect myself," Sherwin comforted him.
"Then..." Haredas suddenly put on a bashful look, and after hesitating for a good while, he finally voiced his request, "Could you bring us along with you?"
As a climatologist, Haredas was actually very curious about what kind of "climate" was stored inside this incredibly thick rope, and the climatologists of Weatheria were naturally the same.
Therefore, Sherwin, who had originally planned to find a place to open the knot after leaving Weatheria, ended up bringing a dozen or so climatologists and returning to the Blue Sea aboard the Dodo Advance.
Because it was just untying a knot, Sherwin and the others didn’t need to specifically look for a deserted island.
They simply had Purah Meow step up and use her Devil Fruit ability to create a massive piece of floating ice on the sea surface, and then Sherwin jumped onto it while holding the rope.
Once the Dodo Advance had flown far away, Sherwin finally grabbed the rope on both sides of the knot and pulled it outward with force.
A shockwave carrying several streaks of black lightning burst from the knot, and the clouds above were also "split" in half.
As for Sherwin...
He was knocked back two steps by the impact of this shockwave.
But even this was astonishing enough.
Black lightning and split clouds—there was no doubt that what was stored in this knot was a burst of Conqueror Haki.
Yet, it carried no advanced techniques like Conqueror Coating it was merely a pure release of Conqueror Haki, yet it managed to push back Sherwin, who was fully on guard, by two steps, and it caused the very phenomenon that only occurs when two Conqueror Hakis clash...
This was the first time Sherwin had ever encountered this kind of Conqueror Haki.
Even judging solely by the most basic pressure of Conqueror Haki, it felt as though it wouldn’t lose to the Five Forbidden Monsters of the Monster Hunter world.
Then Sherwin glanced at the vast expanse of marine life floating belly-up all around him.
The range of this was also unprecedentedly exaggerated.
No wonder it had been hidden inside the body of that giant robot as a trump card.
Only... why didn’t it use it two hundred years ago at Mary Geoise? Was it because it knew its power was insufficient and couldn’t guarantee victory, so it chose not to use it?
Sherwin scratched his head in puzzlement.
