Although they had decided to attend Big Mom tea party, there was still so ti before it began, so Sherwin and the others continued their adventure at an unhurried pace.
"It Lord Sherwin!"
"Is that Princess Shirahoshi? She enormous!"
"Are the ones sitting on Hunter shoulders Klee ow and Haibara ow? They’re so cute!"
Thanks to several rounds of official promotion by the World Governnt and Morgan nonstop coverage during this period, Sherwin and his group were now extrely popular among ordinary people.
Treatnt like that of major celebrities, as they were experiencing right now, had already happened to them several tis.
So whether it was the cats or Shirahoshi, everyone remained very calm. Klee ow, who loved lively scenes, was even excitedly waving her little paws around, greeting the people nearby.
Sherwin himself actually quite enjoyed this kind of being-the-center-of-attention treatnt.
And because of his own strength, although these people were enthusiastic, they didn’t dare get too close or interfere with Sherwin and the other normal activities.
Compared to the way celebrities on Earth were chased and blocked by fans, the situation here was much better.
Except for one thing...
"Lord Sherwin! When will the New World Tour Guide be updated?!"
"Could our country be lucky enough to beco your material?!"
Damn it! How the hell are there people in the pirate world urging updates too?!
Sherwin, who had been secretly enjoying himself just a mont ago, instantly darkened his face, quickened his pace, and led the cats toward the largest restaurant in the city.
And the mont they entered the restaurant, the staff inside had already arranged everything.
As Sanji ow identity as the gourt consultant of the Tour Guide series had been exposed, everyone knew the little yellow cat habits.
So every ti they arrived at a new place, instead of Sherwin having to look for chefs, the local chefs would run over on their own to present their signature dishes for Sanji ow to see.
As for having their own secret techniques learned by soone else, that kind of thing simply wasn’t important at all.
This was an excellent opportunity to build connections with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Unless soone had water in their brain, no one would be foolish enough to hide anything away.
Moreover, if their signature dish gained Sanji ow approval, it would be very likely to be featured in the New World Tour Guide.
That kind of exposure was far more effective than placing in any cooking competition...
Take Mock Town in the first half of the Grand Line as an example. Although its peculiar cherry pie and drinks had already been sowhat famous among pirates before, they mostly circulated along that single route.
But after that issue of the Paradise Tour Guide was released, not only did pirates from other routes deliberately detour to taste them, even major rchants ca to purchase them in bulk.
The original chef was even directly recruited by the "Golden Emperor" Gild Tesoro and went to work in the Gran Tesoro.
So now, basically whenever Sherwin and his group arrived in a city, they just needed to head straight for the largest restaurant.
Whether or not the chefs actually worked there, they would all be waiting there anyway...
And aside from giving recipes to Sanji ow, there were also wines for Suika ow, gunpowder for Klee ow and Jinx, all kinds of small ornants for Link ow, dical books for Haibara ow, and so on.
In short, everyone was doing their utmost to curry favor with the Felynes.
It seed that no matter which world it was, once you beca famous, many things really did beco easier.
Watching those chefs who treated Sanji ow with the utmost respect and proactively offered up every secret recipe they knew, Sherwin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
It was only because the famous blades and Devil Fruits he liked to collect were relatively rare that no one had brought those things over yet.
...
"So you’re the Hunter Sherwin?! This young master is here to challenge you!"
After finishing all the island signature dishes at the largest restaurant, Sherwin left as usual and, just like always, took the Felynes with him to stroll around and uncover more of the area.
But before long, he heard a teeth-gritting voice coming from not far away.
As soon as that voice rang out, the civilians who had been gathered around Sherwin and the others instantly scattered in all directions...
For ordinary people in the pirate world, fleeing at top speed when a fight is about to break out has long since beco an instinct.
Sherwin could only sigh helplessly.
As expected, what the pirate world lacks the least are reckless hotheads.
He had already anticipated that sooner or later soone would co looking for trouble.
After all, so arrogant pirates aren’t even afraid of the Four Emperors a Seven Warlord like him, soone not even on the level of the Four Emperors, obviously couldn’t intimidate those thick-skulled fools for very long.
It was just that this challenger had shown up far sooner than he had estimated...
At the very least, couldn’t they wait until after he attended the tea party?
However, when Sherwin turned around and got a clear look at the other person appearance, he found it sowhat understandable why the man had co knocking so early.
Standing before them was a strikingly handso young man with shoulder-length golden curly hair.
He wore a cowboy hat trimd with fur, a white cape draped over his shoulders, and a beautifully ornate rapier hanging at his waist.
His entire presence made him look like a noble young lord who had stepped straight out of a shōjo manga.
With such a distinctive appearance and outfit, there was no way Sherwin could mistake him.
The newcor was none other than a future mber of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, the captain of the Handso Pirates, and one of the Super Rookies who had entered the New World not long ago—the pirate nobleman known as "White Horse" Cavendish.
Cavendish is hailed as the most handso man among pirates. It said that when his bounty poster was first issued, it was imdiately stolen en masse by won obsessed with him.
In a sense, he was the male version of Boa Hancock—just without having eaten the Love-Love Fruit.
Aside from possessing a split personality, this so-called "most handso pirate" was also extrely fond of stealing the spotlight.
He harbored intense hostility toward anyone who took attention away from him.
In the manga, because the Super Rookies of Luffy generation completely overshadowed him, he once even wanted to wipe out the "Worst Generation."
If things had followed the original tiline, after Cavendish charged into the New World under the title of "Gorgeous Super Rookie," the newspapers would have tracked and reported on him day after day.
But just as that coverage was beginning to gain montum, Sherwin went and fought Kaido.
After that, Morgans, in order to help Shirahoshi, shifted the focus of all reporting to matters related to the Fish-n...
Not to ntion that right after Sherwin and the others landed on the island, they imdiately seized everyone attention, leaving Cavendish with almost no spotlight at all after his own arrival.
With these "new grudges and old resentnts" piled together, it was hardly surprising that he would co looking for trouble with Sherwin.
Although Cavendish had been blinded by anger and jealousy and rushed over the mont he learned that Sherwin was on the island, his subordinates hadn’t lost their heads.
"We’re terribly sorry, Lord Sherwin! The captain is just drunk and spouting nonsense! We’ll take him away imdiately!"
The vice-captain of the Handso Pirates kept bowing and apologizing to Sherwin while joining the other crew mbers in dragging Cavendish away, intending to forcibly remove him.
However...
"You think you can just provoke and then leave? There no such good deal!"
Sherwin gaze settled on the ornate rapier at Cavendish waist, the one nad Durandal.
A fad blade delivered right to his doorstep—how could he possibly let it go?
Moreover, setting aside Cavendish primary personality for the mont, his second personality is a bona fide killer. He once caused dozens of massacres in a kingdom called Roml.
Even after leaving the Kingdom of Roml, that second personality still erges from ti to ti to commit atrocities.
It only because he has been wandering around constantly since becoming a pirate that the impact hasn’t been as shocking as it was back in Roml.
"Seijuro ow, I’ll leave him to you."
As was the case most of the ti, opponents who were swordsn were generally handed over to Seijuro ow or Link ow to deal with.
