Sherwin and the others had stayed on Angel Island for several days.
During that ti, aside from thoroughly exploring every corner of Angel Island, they also managed to successfully transplant the plants from Sky Island.
This wasn’t particularly difficult—after all, the nature of island clouds was quite similar to soil.
The only concern, much like with the sky fish, was whether those plants could survive after losing their high-altitude environnt, and whether they might undergo so kind of change...
After all, as the saying goes, "When an orange tree grows south of the Huai River, it bears oranges when it grows north, it bears trifoliate oranges." Even though the physical and biological rules of the pirate world were vastly different from those of Earth, there were still so similarities.
But those were just side matters. What really took ti was waiting for Purah ow and Haibara ow to finish developing the anti-electric combat suits and various attribute-based Sky Shell weapons.
Actually, Sherwin had suggested to the two Felynes that they could use the Seastone they’d obtained from the Sand Crocodile to make a set of equipnt. The results might be even better than simple rubber suits.
However, after Purah ow and Haibara ow tested the properties of Seastone with Klee ow, they ended up rejecting his proposal.
Although Seastone was completely unhard by Klee ow flas, and it could even make direct contact with elentalized small puppets, that didn’t an that armor made from Seastone could protect its wearer...
Because although it was called "stone," Seastone was, in essence, closer in nature to tal. Naturally, it also shared the sa traits most tals possessed—naly, the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Furthermore, when struck by ordinary attacks, the person behind the Seastone would still feel the shock and impact.
In other words, the Seastone armor Sherwin had envisioned wasn’t much different from an exceptionally sturdy iron shell. It could restrain Devil Fruit users, yes—but its advantage wasn’t nearly as great as he had imagined.
Compared to armor, Seastone was far more suitable for use as a weapon, since it posed a greater threat to ability users that way.
And when you thought about it, that made sense—if Seastone armor were truly that powerful, the World Governnt would’ve been using it long ago, instead of just patching ship hulls with it or making handcuffs.
That said, the developnt of the rubber-based insulated suit wasn’t going very smoothly either.
In the pirate world, rubber wasn’t like what so science enthusiasts on Earth claid—where over two million volts of electricity could pierce through it, and ten million volts would instantly carbonize it.
Yet when Haibara ow and Purah ow increased the voltage to thirty million volts, the rubber began to show damage.
And Enel casual attacks started at ten million volts—thirty million volts was just one of his basic moves, about the sa level as a "Hadoken" in a fighting ga.
Even after the two research Felynes optimized the rubber, the final product could only withstand up to fifty million volts without damage.
Against Enel, who could unleash strikes up to two hundred million volts, that level of defense was practically aningless...
So seriously—how did that guy Luffy manage to tank Enel lightning without a scratch before turning into Nika?
Sherwin once again couldn’t help but grumble inwardly about the absurd, logic-defying physics of the pirate world.
Still, the anti-electric suits the Felynes developed weren’t completely useless. At the very least, wearing them could prevent damage from the residual discharge of Enel lightning attacks. And even if soone got hit directly, the suit could still reduce part of the impact.
As for using rubber weapons to attack Enel... they might as well just use Seastone weapons instead!
In the end, they only produced so expendable gear like rubber bullets and rubber arrowheads, plus a few rubber shields. The originally planned full-body rubber suits were ultimately abandoned.
"This world is just completely unscientific, ow!"
(=`н=)
Failing to et her expectations, Purah ow puffed up her cheeks angrily—she was so frustrated she even forgot to say her usual catchphrase.
Sherwin glanced at the little inventor cat, saying nothing.
After all, whether it was the strange gadgets and gear from the Monster Hunter world, or the bizarre ancient technology of Hyrule, none of it made much scientific sense to soone from Earth like him.
With Haibara ow and Purah ow finally wrapping up their research, Sherwin group was at last ready to go stir up trouble for Enel.
As promised, he blew the whistle to signal Gan Fall, but instead of waiting for him and the Shandians to rendezvous with them, they simply piloted the Dodo Advance straight to the edge of God Island.
"Haibara, Purah—you two... maybe you should stay on the ship?"
After a mont thought, Sherwin decided to ask for the Felyne own opinions.
For safety reasons, it would definitely be best for both research cats to remain aboard the ship.
Haibara ow, being a hobody, probably wouldn’t mind. But Purah ow, with her restless nature, was a different story—she definitely wasn’t the type to sit still.
Sure enough, Purah ow imdiately shook her tiny head like a rattle drum.
"I wanna go explore the island with everyone too, ow!"
Even Haibara ow, who usually disliked going out, spoke up: "Although these plants ca up with Jaya Island when it flew into the sky, after being influenced by the high-altitude environnt for so many years, they’ve undergone many noticeable changes.
They’re quite valuable for research. I might even find plants suitable for adjusting recovery potions. Besides, studying them could provide so reference for cultivating and transplanting Sky Island plants onto our ship, ow."
Since Haibara ow had given such a solid reason, Sherwin couldn’t refuse any further. He could only repeatedly remind the two research Felynes to never stray too far from him or Seijuro ow and the other combat mbers.
"Sherwin-nii."
Klee ow, lying on his shoulder, suddenly tugged his ear and tilted her little head in puzzlent. "We ca here to fight this ti, right, ow?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Sherwin looked at Klee ow, a little confused, then suddenly realized, "Don’t worry, I’ll let you throw bombs."
"That not what Klee ant, ow!" The small plush cat bit his ear lightly before continuing,
"Since we ca here to fight, why didn’t we bring Dodo Advance onto the island too, ow? She can already transform into a big cat now, right, ow?"
Sherwin: "..."
Oh right! How could I have forgotten that!
The Hunter, who hadn’t thought of it earlier, gave a few awkward chuckles, then instinctively glanced at Robin and the other Felynes—only to see that they were all averting their eyes awkwardly as well...
Hmm, looks like I wasn’t the only one who didn’t think of that.
Sherwin suddenly felt balanced in his heart.
Then, he picked up Klee ow and planted a big kiss right on her forehead, praising, "Our Klee is so smart! None of us even thought of that!"
"Ehehe~"
(=`=)
The little plush cat proudly lifted her head. "Klee is super smart, ow!"
After putting the Klee ow—who had just woken everyone up with her words of wisdom—back onto his shoulder, Sherwin and the others imdiately sprang into action.
Amidst a series of clanking and whirring transformation sounds, the ship beneath everyone (and every cat) feet retracted its sails and "grew" limbs and a tail, taking on the shape of a cat.
Because Dodo Advance current main power source and "operating system" were created by Klee ow ability—a "Solar Furnace" combined with a fire-based fra similar to Dodo Bear—when she moved in this form, faint flas leaked from the gaps between her joints.
However, that only made Dodo Advance appear even more imposing and majestic.
So rather than saying this form looked like a cat, it actually resembled a tiger.
Hence, this form was nad—
Dodo Advance: Magnamalo Form!
