The pneumatic device and the Kinsect are the two core elements of the Insect Glaive.
Even if they hadn't packed the technical data from Germa back then, creating a similar pneumatic device wouldn't be very difficult for Purah Meow.
But...
Wanting to completely recreate the Kinsects from the Monster Hunter world was quite difficult.
According to Sherwin initial ideas, items that ate the Bug-Bug Fruit, insects that ate a Devil Fruit, mechanical Kinsects, and artificial Kinsects could indeed all serve as substitutes for Kinsects. It was just that these "Kinsects" all lacked the most primary and core ability of a Kinsect—producing Kinsect extracts of different attributes.
Under the premise of lacking Kinsect extracts, those substitute Kinsects were merely hidden weapons capable of attacking monsters automatically. They didn't deal high damage and were incredibly fragile at the same time...
It wasn't even as convenient as Sherwin throwing small Sea Prism Stone flying knives himself.
So after trying a few times, Sherwin gave up on carrying a Kinsect.
Anyway, using the Insect Glaive didn't affect his ability to use skills from other weapons. In fact, due to the presence of the pneumatic device, some moves that originally required charging could be released even faster instead...
Monster Hunter Style - Hunter Art - Corkscrew Thrust!
Sherwin, who had broken half of Saint Mars wing with one strike of his glaive, nimbly drew a semicircle in the air and came underneath the Itsumade. Immediately following that, the pneumatic device at the end of the insect glaive blasted a powerful current of air, carrying Sherwin to thrust straight toward the opponent abdomen.
On the other side, the Princess Cat, who had her "monster stolen," was not angry. Instead, she cooperated with Sherwin with tacit understanding and launched an attack at Saint Mars.
"Arc Bea~~~~m!"
(ω)
Red fan-shaped beams of light shot out from Princess Cat eyes, enveloping Saint Mars within them.
Saint Mars, who had originally retracted his claws to block Sherwin attack, suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, falling into a rigid state as his entire body became paralyzed.
"Pfft!"
The weapon, called an insect glaive but featuring a sharp spearhead, stabbed ruthlessly into Saint Mars abdomen, making him want to let out a miserable shriek...
Unfortunately, because he was still paralyzed, he couldn't make a sound.
After thrusting the insect glaive into Saint Mars body, Sherwin did not rush to pull it out. Instead, he pulled a trigger hidden beneath the handguard.
Monster Hunter Style - Hunter Art - Dragon Blast!
The attack methods of the lance, gunlance, and insect glaive weren't all that different to begin with. Moreover, Sherwin wasn't playing a Monster Hunter game right now.
Since the skills of different weapons could be shared, the mechanical mechanisms of the weapons themselves could naturally be fused together.
Therefore, the weapon in Sherwin hand was more accurately described as an insect gunlance.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"
A sound similar to grilling meat came from Saint Marcus belly... to be precise, it was the sound of grilling meat.
"Boom—!!!"
A moment later, Itsumade abdomen blew apart with a roar, blasting his body directly into two segments.
Sherwin used the recoil of the explosion to dodge the scattering chunks of flesh while raising the insect glaive high to execute a Spirit Roundslash in mid-air, smoothly chopping off Itsumade head as well.
And arc wasn't idling either. She opened her mouth and spat a pillar of fire at Saint Marcus ruined corpse, burning the bird feathers on his body completely clean.
This way, even if Sherwin and arc left Saint Marcus alone right now, it would still take him some time to restore his original form, not to mention that Sherwin would continue to suppress his recovery.
Having little interest in "mutilating a corpse," arc immediately turned around after helping Sherwin suppress Saint Marcus. She flew toward Saint Topman Warcury, the "Fengxi" who was trading blows back and forth with Suika Meow by virtue of his thick hide.
And despite clearly having never eaten the Dense-Dense Fruit, her body rapidly grew during her flight until she was about the same size as Suika Meow.
"Yikes!"
(ΦωΦ)
Who this little Felyne was parodying was already self-evident. As for the final member of the Five Elders...
Sherwin glanced over at the sand worm, which had been torn into several segments by Kaido Meow and was still being continuously struck by Shermie Meow lightning. He wasn't worried at all that the opponent could affect Klee Meow.
Meanwhile, the other top experts in the Navy were all held back by Dragon and the others, leaving them completely powerless to stop the little Ragdoll Felyne from deploying her "Little Girl" bomb (nuke).
And so, under the anxious yet helpless gazes of Aokiji and the others, a gold-and-red flaming fat orange Felyne that everyone was very "familiar" with appeared in the sky.
The reason she didn't use the more powerful blue fire or purple flames was because the stripes on this fat orange Felyne were made of dark red magma. Furthermore, due to the presence of the magma, billowing black smoke kept surging out of the big fat Felyne body this time, making it look much more oppressive than before...
Though its chubby, charmingly naive shape meant that even with the added heavy smoke special effects, it didn't do much good.
"Go! Exploding Meow Meow: Little Girl Meow!"
(=><=)
As Klee Meow waved her paws, the big fat orange Felyne pounced toward Pangea Castle, carrying billowing thick smoke with it.
This was also what Sherwin and the others had agreed upon from the very beginning. If "Uranus" never appeared, they would throw "Little Girl" at Pangea Castle to see if Imu would make a move. It could be considered a test to see what other abilities this "King of the World" possessed besides granting people immortality...
If they could just directly take out the opponent right then and there, that would be even better.
Aside from that, those Celestial Dragons from earlier had all fled into Pangea Castle. Even if it didn't blow Imu to pieces, blowing up a few more Celestial Dragons would still be good.
After the CP agents tried and failed to obstruct Klee Meow, and their attempts to intercept the "Little Girl" attack were all blocked by the Revolutionary Army, they immediately rushed frantically toward Pangea Castle.
The Navy, on the other hand, continued to tangle with the Revolutionary Army, though everyone attention was more or less partially divided and directed over there.
Right at that moment...
Saint Mars, who had been under Sherwin constant assault and unable to regenerate, along with the other three Elders suppressed by the Felynes, suddenly let out piercing shriek all at once, before collectively turning into black mist and vanishing.
Almost at the exact moment they disappeared, five familiar pentagram magic circles appeared in the sky above Pangaea Castle. The Five Elders, including the Gyuki that Sherwin had just captured, appeared completely unharmed in the center of those five magic circles.
The moment they appeared, they threw themselves toward "Little Girl" without a single shred of hesitation, clearly intending to use their physical bodies to intercept it.
"Jinx! Detonate the bomb! arc! Throw the cat food!"
Sherwin decisively made his choice, with no time to consider how Saint Saturn had escaped.
"Little Girl" wasn't their only ultimate weapon, so there was no need to engage in a back-and-forth with them.
"Third seal! Bomb seal! Released meow!"
(=>Φ)σ
As Jinx pointed at "Little Girl", Sherwin and his group, including the members of the Revolutionary Army, immediately whipped out sunglasses and put them on.
"BOOM——!!!"
Within the light that swallowed everything, three silhouettes of the Five Elders vanished directly. The Sandworm and Houki managed to leave parts of their bodies behind, but they were powerless to stop the subsequent giant cat food container that blotted out the sky... and the moon...
Wait! Isn't this cat food container a bit too big?!
Sherwin suddenly realized that they also seemed to be within the attack range of the Meow Princess...
"Everyone, get over here quickly!"
Fortunately, the Revolutionary Army, having experienced this once before, noticed it in time as well. Morley immediately opened up a tunnel leading deep into the Red Line and shouted out a greeting.
Before ducking into the tunnel with the Felynes, Sherwin cast a backward glance at Pangaea Castle, its roof ripped away by the blast aftershock. Amidst the light and dust that had not yet fully dissipated, Sherwin faintly saw a silhouette resembling a demonic outline.
