After successfully completing the first set of battle suits, Haibara ow subsequent research went much smoother, so before long, everyone suits were finished.
However, Klee ow initial idea of directly modifying their existing outfits into battle suits couldn’t be realized, because she discovered that the "equipnt" of the two worlds turned out to be incompatible...
So in the end, the suits had to be remade from scratch according to each of their individual style requests.
For example, Klee ow battle suit was designed after the Akatsuki uniform—black with red clouds—while Seijuro ow, that quiet and brooding little black cat, requested his suit to be modeled after a Shihakushō.
"I rely regard it as part of my collection," the little black cat said confidently. "In actual combat, I will not use it. A true swordsman has no need for such external things, ow."
Sherwin subconsciously turned his gaze toward another "cutting-type" Felyne.
(=ˇˇ=)There he saw Link ow, staring at the blue container holding his battle suit with a rather conflicted expression.
Huh? That strange...
Based on what Sherwin knew about Link ow, he was unlike Seijuro ow. He shouldn’t have minded using other tools.
"What wrong, Link?" Sherwin stepped forward, rubbing the little leopard cat head curiously. "Do you not like this battle suit?"
ε=(ο｀=)Link ow first shook his head firmly, then scratched the back of his head in so hesitation. Finally, he sighed and raised the folded glider strapped to his back to show Sherwin.
Obviously, with the appearance of the battle suit, the glider that had accompanied him for so long now had no place to be used, which explained Link ow conflicted expression.
But unlike Seijuro ow, Link ow did not refuse to use the battle suit. He was just a little reluctant to part with his old companion, that all.
"Ahem... let explain a few more things, ow..."
Seeing that everyone had received their own battle suits, Haibara ow imdiately cleared her throat, drawing everyone attention.
"Other than the most basic jet propulsion and defensive capabilities, your battle suits also have additional functions, ow..."
Through the little kitten explanation, everyone ca to understand what features their new battle suits possessed.
First was Klee ow Akatsuki uniform, which differed from the rest. Using Ichiji battle suit as the template, it was powered by thermal energy and flas, and it even had the ability to amplify firepower to a certain extent.
In addition, this particular battle suit had excellent water resistance. So even if Klee ow accidentally fell into the sea, it would prevent her from being completely subrged for a short ti, giving her a brief window to react and save herself.
As for the other cats battle suits, their functions were more or less the sa, modeled after Niji battle suit, focusing on enhancing electric shock power and increasing speed.
On top of that, Haibara specifically reinforced the suits defenses against fire, high temperatures, sonic waves, and explosive impacts. As for why she designed them this way, there was no need to explain further—everyone already knew the reason.
"...Also, you can try using your battle suits more often during your free ti. If there anything you’re not used to, or if you find sothing inconvenient, just let know and I’ll improve it for you, ow." Haibara ow patted her chest, confidently taking on the responsibility.
At this mont, Sherwin leaned in with a sheepish grin. "Xiao Ai, about my Insect Glaive... when will it be ready?"
"That kind of simple thing, I can make in half a day, ow." Haibara ow proudly lifted her little head, then added, "But after researching for so many days, I’m really tired. I want to take a break, ow."
As she spoke, the little kitten kept sneaking glances at Sherwin from the corner of her eyes.
Got it!Sherwin instantly understood what this tsundere little one was hinting at.
"Exactly, exactly, you’ve been working so hard these past few days, Xiao Ai. Let help you relax properly!"
He deliberately put on an exaggerated expression, scooped Haibara ow onto his lap, and began massaging her with both hands. In just a few monts, the little kitten was purring in comfort, humming contentedly in her throat.
After thoroughly pampering Haibara ow, Sherwin naturally received his Insect Glaive without any trouble.
Due to material limitations, the Insect Glaive strength was rather average. But for Sherwin, who had already mastered Armant Haki, this wasn’t much of a problem.
In addition, since Sherwin didn’t have any Felyne modes, nor had he eaten a Devil Fruit, and wasn’t a genetically modified human like Ichiji and the others, the glaive pneumatic device couldn’t recharge itself during use.
Even so, this still wasn’t really a problem. Its endurance was already very high to begin with—according to Haibara ow, once fully charged, it could be used continuously for ten days without issue.
And besides, Sherwin never intended to make it one of his main weapons. It was more about fulfilling his desire to collect every weapon type from Monster Hunter and trying to get his own weapon onto the famous blades list.
Apart from this glaive, which wasn’t equipped with a Kinsect, Haibara ow also handed over a brown can marked with a paw print.
"You even made my battle suit too?" Sherwin exclaid in delight as he took the can, then scooped up Haibara ow and gave her a loud kiss. "Mu~~~~a!"
Right after the kiss, Sherwin realized sothing was off—because the little kitten in his arms hadn’t used her cat-punch on him!
Sherwin looked at Haibara ow in confusion.
"W-what are you staring at ow?"
(=ω=)The little kitten did look a bit guilty at first, averting her eyes. But soon she puffed herself back up with pride,
raised her tiny head, and stared right back at Sherwin without backing down, urging him again and again: "Hurry up and try your battle suit! I still need to collect data, ow!"
Even though Sherwin knew for sure this battle suit had so kind of trap in it, he resigned himself and activated it anyway...
"Bang! Shua——"
The brown paw-print can instantly burst open, transforming into a tal clasp with a paw print that snapped onto Sherwin stomach. Imdiately, two wide straps extended from either side of the clasp, wrapping tightly around his waist.
"Hen~shin!"
As a tokusatsu fan, Sherwin instinctively struck the classic Kan Rider transformation pose.
And then...
"Wah! Big Brother Sherwin turned into a kitty too!"
(=`=)Before Sherwin even had the chance to check his transford appearance, Klee ow was already cheering excitedly.
When he raised his hands to look, sure enough—they were fluffy cat paws. Looking down, he could see a furry belly and legs, and behind him trailed a long tail...
Just imagining it a little was enough for Sherwin to figure out what he looked like now... basically the sa as Mario cat form after getting the bell, except the fur color matched Haibara ow brown.
Sherwin squinted at the little kitten beside him who was covering her mouth, stifling laughter.
"Ahem." Haibara ow quickly returned to a serious face and declared righteously: "This cat battle suit perfectly solves your problem of not being able to recharge on your own, ow."
Sherwin: "..."
"With these cat paws on, how am I supposed to hold a weapon?!"
"Eh?" Haibara ow froze for a mont, then quickly turned her gaze aside, muttering under her breath: "You can just use the claws directly... If it really doesn’t work, I can help you take them off, ow..."
"Actually, I can also guide Lord Sherwin on how to hold a sword with cat paws, ow." Seijuro ow, who had already picked up bad habits, said this with a perfectly straight face.
"The Admiral outfit looks really pretty, ow. I like it a lot~"
At this mont, Huai ow ca over, stifling her laughter just to join the fun, while Sanji ow didn’t even bother holding back—he was laughing so hard he was pounding the deck.
(=ω=)bLink ow grinned wickedly and gave Sherwin a big thumbs-up, while Klee ow had already started bouncing all over him in excitent.
Sherwin: "..."
