The members of the Revolutionary Army looked at Sherwin sequence of actions with bewildered faces, having no idea what he was doing.
Only Sabo looked thoughtful...
After all, not long ago, Sherwin had "separated" Sakazuki right in front of him. When they met again, the powers of the Mag-Mag Fruit had appeared on Huamei Meow.
Previously, he had thought it was some kind of black technology developed by Vegapunk, Haibara Meow, or Purah Meow, but looking at it now, there seemed to be another possibility.
As someone who would hold the position of Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army in the future, Sabo mind was quite sharp.
At least among the three sworn brothers back then, Sabo mind was definitely the best among them.
Although he had his suspicions, Sabo was sensible enough not to say anything.
Sherwin, naturally, would not offer any extra explanations. He had only been worried about running out of time just now, which was why he exposed the existence of the Hunter knife in front of outsiders.
Of course, this was also because the Revolutionary Army members present were all trustworthy, so Sherwin didn't try too hard to conceal it.
Retracting the Hunter knife, Sherwin thought about it and still handed the skeleton over to Haibara Meow.
Although there was a high probability that Saint Saturn Devil Fruit power had been taken back, it was still possible that Lineage Factors could be extracted from the bones. If they could cook up a replica of the Gyuki Fruit, that would be good too.
"It really is a bit of a pity that we failed to capture one of the Five Elders, but at least it proves that their immortality isn't truly unsolvable. Moreover, their upper limit should only be five. Otherwise, Imu wouldn't have just recalled the Five Elders earlier, or even taken the field personally."
Sherwin turned to Dragon and said, "Therefore, we can try to leak the existence of Imu now."
Previously, they had cautiously chosen not to leak Imu existence. Aside from the worry that the opponent might go mad and use Uranus to bomb everywhere, they were also worried that some pirates or obscure powerhouses might defect to the World Government for the sake of this "immortal body."
But clearly, Uranus was already rendered useless. Even if it wasn't, they could still use Little Girl to blast it into scrap metal. Furthermore, the slots for immortality were limited and there was a countermeasure, so naturally, they no longer needed to worry about so many things.
And...
"If the fruit abilities are also an unchangeable part of the Five Elder contracts, then Imu choice of targets will be further narrowed."
Except for Marshall D. Teach, that guy with the "atypical" body structure, there should be no one else who can violate the ironclad rule of "not being able to eat two Devil Fruits."
As for Teach turning to Imu?
Setting aside that Sherwin and the others already had the means to deal with the Five Elders, with Teach ambition, he would absolutely never allow his life and death to be controlled by someone else.
"Yeah, actually, I've already ordered people to handle the relevant arrangements long ago. We are just waiting for the right moment, and information regarding Imu can instantly appear in the underworld intelligence network."
As for Dragon himself, he was already inclined to expose Imu existence, so he had made preparations long ago. Now, even if Sherwin hadn't brought it up, he would have immediately mobilized the Revolutionary Army intelligence personnel to do so upon his return.
"Boss Sherwin! You're back!"
"Leader!"
As they spoke, Sherwin and the others had already arrived at the end of the evacuation tunnel, which was also the bottom of the Red Line. The Dodo Advance, which had been enlarged by Suika Meow before they set out, had already been waiting here for a long time.
Shirahoshi, Robin, Touma Meow, and the other members who stayed behind, as well as the Revolutionary Army members who had evacuated earlier with the rescued slaves, also came forward to greet them right away.
As Sherwin and the others returned to the ship, the Dodo Advance immediately raised its protective barrier and then dove toward the deep sea.
Although he really wanted to fly into the sky to see what had happened to Mariejois and even the Red Line, considering that the enlarged Dodo Advance was simply too massive a target, Sherwin could only temporarily drop that thought.
Anyway...
The Birkan reporters recruited by Morgans had already hidden in the distant clouds right from the very beginning, recording the footage of this battle.
Although the details couldn't be seen very clearly from that distance, what kind of consequences the "Little Girl" and the "Heavenly Obstacle Shaking Meow Canned Food" roughly caused should still be observable.
Just as Sherwin was planning to call Morgans to ask about the situation and pick up a few photos of the scene along the way, Dragon, who had gone to communicate with the group of rescued slaves, walked back over and said with emotion, "Thanks to your reminder, Mr. Sherwin, otherwise I would have quite the headache."
Sherwin: ???
"We rounded up a large number of Marines before, and now we've rescued so many people. Without that warehouse of food from the Celestial Dragons, the Revolutionary Army logistics would probably have run into trouble," Dragon explained.
"Although we have already optimized the crops within our territory according to Vegapunk technology, they were all only planted a short while ago after all, and it will still take quite some time before they can be harvested."
So that was what it was about...
"It nothing much."
Sherwin waved his hand modestly. "Aren't you guys going to cut off the Celestial Dragon food supply later anyway? Even if you were short this warehouse of food, you could just grab some along the way when the time comes to solve the problem."
After all, the habit of Hunters was to completely strip an enemy of everything usable after defeating them, so this matter really was nothing to Sherwin it was entirely driven by habit.
Of course, the fact that Dragon clearly had the ability to empty the place out but still chose to burn it all down was indeed a bit absurd...
Had his Revolutionary Army really never been short on food?
But considering that the Revolutionary Army indeed didn't have many people before, and they had Kuma delivery service to transport food quickly, this kind of situation actually was possible.
"That may be true, but being prepared in advance is always more reassuring than trying to come up with solutions on the fly."
Dragon, unaware that Sherwin was currently whispering complaints about him in his heart, continued to express his gratitude.
"Are you guys very short on food? Actually, I have a solution, meow."
(=ΦωΦ=)
Right at this moment, Haibara Meow, who had thrown Saint Saturn corpse into the laboratory equipment for analysis and returned to Sherwin side with nothing to do for the time being, suddenly interrupted,
"If it succeeds, it can immediately solve your food problem and even improve the Revolutionary Army combat effectiveness meow! Even if it fails, there won't be any danger meow, at most the participants will be weak for a period of time meow."
"Is that so? What the method?"
Dragon had been coveting these two scientific cats by Sherwin side for more than just a day or two. Although Lindbergh was also an inventor, his main focus was on various weapons, unlike the two cats who were such all-round talents.
He had even entertained the thought of "Could it be that the Mink Tribe are all good at inventing, should I take a trip to Zou?".
Seeing that Sherwin also looked over curiously, Haibara Meow gave the Hunter an annoyed slap.
"You idiot! Did you forget that we have the Lineage Factors of several food-type Paramecia Devil Fruit users in our hands? You were the one who suggested I collect them meow!"
(=`н)ジ
Oh, right, there seemed to be such a thing...
Realization dawned on Sherwin.
Because he knew Vegapunk possessed the "Green Blood" technology, after Haibara Meow mastered the Lineage Factor technology, Sherwin had reminded the cat to collect more flesh and blood tissues of Paramecia types.
Among them, the ones collected from BIG MOM children when they were guests in Totto Land were the most numerous, and most of them were food types.
In fact, the very first Paramecia Lineage Factor that Haibara Meow collected came from Cracker Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit.
