With Doflamingo shot dead by Law, the remaining officers of the Donquixote Family naturally had no chance of survival they all turned into Sherwin "blind boxes."
Aside from Gladius, who had already been blown into fragnts by Jinx, and Dellinger, who had no Fruit ability, and...
"Eh? Are we missing a ’Trebol’?"
"That guy was all slimy, it was so disgusting ow!"
(=`へ=)
Shermie ow stood with her hands on her hips, acting completely justified. "So I just took him out directly. Anyway, I don’t want to see that kind of slimy fellow in the Hunter Group ow!"
"Uh... in that case, fine then."
Sherwin scratched her chin, not really caring much. Besides, if a Felyne really did eat the Mucus-Mucus Fruit...
"Yikes—petting them would definitely feel strange."
Imagining a certain Felyne covered in sli gave Sherwin goosebumps.
As for the harvest after wiping out the Donquixote Family in one fell swoop...
One could only say the Hunter knife was still performing as steadily as ever.
The most desired String-String Fruit and Hobby-Hobby Fruit failed to drop. Instead, he obtained the Art-Art Fruit from that fat woman Jora. A drop rate of two out of nine was considered normal.
As for what was carved from the others, there was nothing good—just things like a pink feather coat, throat lozenges (Pica), grapes, a microphone, and the like.
The only thing sowhat special was probably the pacifier carved from Senor...
It was also because of this pacifier appearance that Sherwin rembered his wife, who had beco a vegetable.
She should be settled in Dressrosa, right? He would ask King Riku to look after her later.
Besides, given King Riku kind heart, even if Sherwin didn’t say anything, he would likely take the initiative to care for her.
Then again, if Senor wife really had been settled in Dressrosa all along, and Doflamingo destroyed more than half the country in the original story, her fate would truly be hard to say...
Shaking his head to stop thinking about these ssy things, Sherwin sent Law away and had Seijuro ow put the bodies away first, then quickly ran out to scoop up Klee ow.
After giving the lucky Felyne a vigorous petting, he finally took out his Hunter Handbook and opened it precisely to the page of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
As the familiar white light shone, two small slips of paper appeared in the gutter of the handbook...
"...Eh?"
Sherwin froze the mont he saw those two pieces of paper.
Because...
Wasn’t a Logia type supposed to give a whole sheet?! The two pieces of paper in the gap were clearly the size of fragnts!
And...
One of them seed even smaller?
Sherwin quickly picked up the two fragnts, and the relevant information naturally appeared in his mind—
Felyne Summoning Voucher (2/3), Felyne Summoning Voucher (1/5)
Sherwin: "???"
Forget not giving a whole sheet why is it even more fragnted?!
The 2/3 one was obviously the Paracia pool fragnt for the Art Fruit, so the 1/5 one could only be the Logia Snow-Snow Fruit. The patterns on the summoning vouchers also proved this—the larger one had a colorful artistic background, while the smaller one had a pure white base with pale blue snowflake patterns.
What the hell was going on?!
Was it because Monet weight wasn’t high enough, or did this Hunter Manual secretly change operators while I wasn’t looking, turning from a trial version into a grind-heavy, pay-to-win version? If it was just a matter of insufficient weight, that would be fine, but if the operators had changed, wouldn’t that an even if I got my hands on the Magma Fruit or Dark-Dark Fruit in the future, I still wouldn’t be able to get a complete summoning voucher?
Just thinking about that possibility gave Sherwin a massive headache.
"Is there no new companion again this ti, ow?"
The little ragdoll cat lying in Sherwin arms tilted her head, watching the expression on his face for a while. She gently pressed the pads of her small paws against Sherwin cheek, comforting him, "Don’t be sad, Brother Sherwin, ow. You have Klee ow and everyone else with you, ow."
"Mua~" Sherwin gave Klee ow a forceful kiss on her forehead.
Even though the little ragdoll had misunderstood the reason for his frustration, who cared about that when they had the comfort of this little angel?
Wasn’t it just that he’d need to collect a few more Devil Fruits if he wanted to summon cats from the Logia pool in the future? At worst, he’d just treat it as if the first four fruits hadn’t yielded any summoning vouchers.
Besides, it was just as well that he could give the Snow-Snow Fruit to another cat to eat, right? Once Sherwin figured that out, he quickly shook off his gloom.
After putting away the summoning voucher and the Hunter handbook, he played around with the little angel Klee ow for a while longer before leading her and the other Felynes out of the cabin.
"Huai, we can head down now."
Since Kuma and the others were still on board, Sherwin had to pretend to pat the railing of the Dodo Advance and speak to Huai ow.
The little tabby cooperated by slipping into the control room, and the Dodo Paolumu began to slowly descend.
"Brother Sherwin, what were you all doing hiding in there just now?"
As the Dodo Advance descended slowly, little Bonney leaned over curiously. "Were you writing a new Travel Guide?"
Sherwin: "..."
This little girl didn’t look like soone who enjoyed reading in the manga, so why is she staring at my updates all day long?
"Have you finished the practice sessions Huai and Hiko Seijuro arranged for you?"
The despicable Hunter decisively chose to hurt her back.
"I finished them a long ti ago! And I even sparred with Big Sister Shirahoshi! Fish-Man Karate is so powerful and interesting!"
Sherwin: "..."
Damn it! How could I forget? Because of her previous disease, Bonney had long since beco a workaholic who would proactively add extra training.
Wow... thinking about it like this, this little girl Bonney is really unlikeable... She both a reminder-bot for updates and a workaholic she practically the natural enemy of a salted fish like Sherwin!
After answering Sherwin question, little Bonney began to pester Sherwin again for the updates.
"Ahem... the new ’Travel Guide’ will have to wait a while. I have to finish dealing with the matters in Dressrosa first. Besides, haven’t we only explored a small portion of this island and Green Bit? If I’m going to write it, I have to wait until we’ve finished browsing everything, right?"
"Oh..."
Bonney pouted her lips with so disappointnt, but soon full of energy, she pulled Klee ow and Haibara ow away to play.
However, before Sherwin, who had successfully escaped the update-demanding party, could breathe a sigh of relief, that troubleso fellow Baby-5 approached him.
"Master Sherwin! Do you need to familiarize yourself with my body first?"
Just like usual, Baby-5 still liked to keep all sorts of suggestive words on the tip of her tongue.
"Pfft—! Cough, cough, cough..."
Sherwin hadn’t even reacted yet, but Robin, who was nearby drinking black tea and reading a book, was the first one to choke on Baby-5 suggestive words.
Aren’t these all troubles you brought upon yourself...
The Hunter squinted his eyes at Robin, grumbling inwardly.
Setting aside Baby-5 easily misunderstood phrasing, Sherwin himself was actually quite interested in "using" her. It just wasn’t the right ti to "familiarize himself with her body," so Sherwin had to spend quite a bit of effort talking her into leaving for the ti being...
Thanks to Baby-5 eccentric personality, as long as you found sothing to ask for her help with, you could temporarily send her away.
As for the future...
That would have to wait until later.
