How the hell can he still resurrect?! You are harder to kill than Buu!
Sherwin watched Saint Saturn reappear, his twitching lips showing his speechlessness, only now remembering that he seemed to have a jinx mouth... Pffft! A prophet talent.
"Brother Sherwin, do you want to do it again, Meow?"
(=ω=)
Klee Meow, who had returned to Sherwin shoulder, asked.
"No need," Sherwin shook his head, "since we can't destroy him, let see if we can seal him!"
The methods to deal with an immortal body basically fall into a few major categories: complete eradication, suppression and sealing, or tracing the source.
Right now, complete eradication wasn't working, and tracing the source was likely out of reach for now because of Imu, that thousand-year-old shut-in. That left only the path of sealing.
Except...
Thinking about how the opponent could use magic circles to teleport around, the success rate of a seal wasn't very optimistic.
Even so, Sherwin still intended to give it a try.
Sealing the Gorosei didn't require a feline with such overwhelming destructive power like the little Ragdoll.
So...
"Klee, go stop that guy playing with ice."
Sherwin patted the little Ragdoll head and gave her a new task.
"Oh—!"
(=＞＜=)
Klee Meow wasn't picky either. She touched Sherwin cheek with her wet nose, and then turned into a ball of fire, flying towards Kuzan.
"Fire Style: Felyne Song of Fire Meow!"
Aokiji had just about finished putting out the fire in Mary Geoise and was planning to have a casual chat with Dragon to build some rapport, ideally convincing them to retreat as soon as possible so he wouldn't have to work grueling overtime, when several blue-and-purple flame feline heads crashed toward him, bringing with them a rolling wave of heat.
"What a pain... I don't exactly have an immortal body, you know..."
After creating a massive amount of solid ice to block the flame feline heads, Kuzan scratched his hair in frustration.
Facing Klee Meow, an opponent whose attribute countered his own but whose Devil Fruit mastery was clearly superior, the most convenient logia elementization was practically mostly useless. If he dared to elementize, Klee Meow flames would use their radiant high temperatures to vaporize his body directly.
"If I had known, I would have arrived even slower."
Kuzan muttered softly under his breath, but he had no choice but to focus with absolute intensity. After all, going up against this "Fleeing Sun," he really stood a chance of getting killed.
On the other side, Sherwin, who was preparing to attempt to seal the Five Elders, shook his hand to call upon a new Felyne again.
"Purah! Come and help me!"
"Hehehe~ Are we planning to capture this big guy and take him back, meow? That absolutely wonderful! Haibara and I are both very interested in them, meow! Check-it!"
(ゝω)~☆
Purah, who rarely appeared on the front lines of the battlefield, climbed onto Sherwin shoulder.
Unlike Klee Meow and Haibara Meow, the two little cats who were used to "sharing territory," Purah Meow, who currently had no other cats fighting her for "turf," chose to straddle Sherwin neck directly. She then grabbed Sherwin ears with both hands, making him look like a mount for the cat...
Well, compared to a mount, a cat tree didn't seem much better.
Having mounted the Hunter, Purah Meow immediately pulled out her mechanical ball.
After obtaining Vegapunk latest technology, Purah Meow mechanical ball had already been upgraded to over a dozen generations. Compared to the very first version that featured the Sheikah style, the current mechanical ball looked like a perfectly smooth, dark gold metallic sphere from the outside.
After this ball was taken out by Purah Meow, it just floated and followed behind Sherwin head, making him look from the front as if he had just come down from a sacred mountain. Luckily, this mechanical ball quickly continued to rise higher and then embedded itself into the face of the giant snowman created by Purah Meow.
"Summoning Jutsu: Hinox Cyclops Meow! Check-it~"
(ゝω)~☆
Accompanied by Purah Meow cheerful laughter, Hinox "cyclops eye" split open a crack from the middle, a blue light shining within its eye, and this blue light quickly spread across its entire body, covering the ice and snow giant with a layer of energy skin.
Different from the original Hinox, which looked somewhat pig-like, the ice and snow giant made by Purah Meow was more cat-like, and its build was not as bloated as its "counterparts" in the game the overall appearance was relatively well-proportioned, and could even be described as slender.
"Another Logia?!"
The World Government side, including the Navy reinforcements who arrived later, were all shocked.
Although Purah Meow had previously used the power of the Snow-Snow Fruit to create the "Divine Beast of Wind" in Elegia, no one from the World Government was present at the time. Additionally, the footage released by Morgans focused almost entirely on that music demon, so except for Vegapunk, no one else had noticed this.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of their shock, Sherwin silently put away the Longsword and switched to the Sea Prism Stone sword and shield.
Although someone had already tested it before and found that Sea Prism Stone could not eliminate the immortality of the Five Elders, they were still ability users after all.
Upon coming into contact with Sea Prism Stone, their recovery abilities would still be suppressed to some extent, and their own combat effectiveness would also be affected...
It was very suitable for capturing the Five Elders.
"Go! Hinox Meow! Check-it!"
(ゝω)~☆
Under Purah command, the cat version of Hinox first crouched low, then launched itself like a missile, pouncing toward Saint Saturn, who had just resurrected.
At the same time, Sherwin, carrying Purah Meow on his back, charged forward as well.
Bang!
Saint Saturn immediately unleashed his Vicious Eye on Hinox as it pounced at him, but it only made its body sway slightly, failing to break through the outer layer of energy armor.
In fact, even if it had penetrated, it would have been useless. Made entirely of ice and snow, Hinox was completely unafraid of injury the reason it was covered in energy armor was simply to better restrict the enemy movements.
Therefore, after rushing in front of Saint Saturn, Hinox did not launch any attacks at all. Instead, it opened its arms, tightly locked onto him, and twisted its body into a body slam.
Before Saint Saturn, pinned to the ground, could counterattack, Sherwin Seastone shield had already arrived...
Monster Hunter Style: Shield Bash!
Clang—!
A crisp impact sound rang out from Saint Saturn head, instantly putting him into a stunned state.
However, Sherwin felt it was still not safe enough, so he swung his arm and gave Saint Saturn head a succession of several more "clang, clang, clang" shield bashes, refusing to stop until his eyes grew vacant and his skull showed a visibly dented mark.
Immediately afterward, Purah Meow, riding on Sherwin neck, activated her Devil Fruit ability once more. A vast amount of ice and snow instantly buried Hinox and Saint Saturn together.
The mechanical ball, which was also buried inside the snow pile, lit up with light once again. That layer of energy shield spread from Hinox body to the entire snow pile, thoroughly trapping Saint Saturn inside.
Of course, just this alone was certainly not enough.
Under Purah Meow control, both the Hinox inside the light shield and the snow enveloping Saint Saturn turned into compacted snow shells adhering to the light shield. Meanwhile, the mechanical ball floating in the inner space of the snowball opened up again, firing a giant capture net covered in Seastone at the still-dazed Saint Saturn.
After covering Saint Saturn with the capture net, a Water Dial extended from inside the mechanical ball, releasing a massive amount of seawater from within and rapidly filling the entire inner space of the snowball.
Under the dual enhancement of the Seastone and seawater, Saint Saturn quickly reverted to his human form, and after rolling his eyes back and spitting out a large string of bubbles, he readily passed out.
Thus, having resurrected not long ago and just intending to settle accounts with Sherwin, Saint Saturn was magnificently captured by Purah Meow "Pokéball" just like that.
