In the end, Sherwin and Kaido still failed to determine a winner.
As mentioned before, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were not fools.
They agreed to decide the right to speak this way because they believed they had a winning chance.
However, when Sherwin and Kaido fought for a day and a night without showing any signs of fatigue, and Sherwin didn't really fall into a disadvantage on the field, it was actually Kaido who took the initiative to stop this contest.
Furthermore, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin didn't even fight the subsequent contests and chose to concede directly.
They couldn't even easily deal with Sherwin side. Even if Dragon strength was as expected, the hurdles of Shanks and Whitebeard wouldn't be easy to pass either. There was also one more point mentioned earlier: they couldn't consume too much time here.
Therefore, in a situation where they were basically bound to lose, there was no need to bring humiliation upon themselves. As long as they could ensure that "Uranus" wouldn't fall into the hands of other forces either, they could still accept it.
As for whether these pirates would break their word...
Sherwin and the others naturally wouldn't trust them completely either, and this matter would give Dragon his own headache.
Instead, it was the deep, meaningful look Kaido gave him when taking the initiative to propose a truce that made Sherwin a bit concerned. He didn't know what kind of crazy idea that guy was having.
"Humph~ You did well enough, but if it weren't for the potions I prepared, you definitely wouldn't have been able to beat that guy, Meow!"
(=`へ=)
When Sherwin returned to the ship with a bit of confusion, Haibara Meow, the tsundere little kitty, crossed her arms and welcomed him in her own way with a face full of disdain.
While catching Klee Meow and Shermie Meow who came flying into his arms, Sherwin reached out a hand to pat her little head, putting the little kitten back onto his shoulder amidst her grunts.
"Big brother Sherwin! You are too strong! That Kaido! The pirate rumored to be the strongest in a one-on-one fight!"
Following closely behind the cats were those rowdy guys from the Straw Hat crew. After wildly flattering him, Usopp sheepishly made a request to Sherwin, "Can you let me take a look at the bow and arrows you used just now?"
As a sniper and weapon developer, he was naturally most interested in Sherwin bow.
"Of course, no problem."
Sherwin generously took out the "Kitty Baby" bow and casually tossed it to Usopp.
"Oh oh oh! There really are Dial on this! To think that three different attributes of Dial could be so harmoniously integrated into one bow, Miss Purah Meow technology is as superb as ever!"
Usopp stroked the "Kitty Baby" lovingly, focusing intently on analyzing the technology on it.
Franky, who was also a fan of Purah Meow and had even learned "Check-it" for a while, also leaned over. "Mr. Sherwin, could you let me see that Super—cool gun you had before?"
Although they had a conflict a long time ago, since Sherwin didn't lose out anyway, for the sake of Luffy and Nami, Sherwin didn't hold it against Franky anymore and directly threw his "Trigger Longsword" to him as well.
The cute Chopper was much more worry-free, merely looking at Sherwin with worshipful eyes.
As for those two guys, Luffy and Zoro...
"Sherwin! Let have a fight!"
"When are you going to compete with me in swordsmanship again?!"
The method to deal with these two reckless guys was also very simple: "Wait until you win against my Felynes first."
The two idiots still wanted to persist, but were then violently suppressed by Nami. "How many times have I said it! No being rude to Big Brother Sherwin!"
After giving Luffy and Zoro a punch each, Nami approached Sherwin and very seriously asked about the techniques for using the Insect Glaive Gunlance.
Although she couldn't quite keep up with Sherwin battle against Kaido before, she could still understand the strength displayed by the Insect Glaive Gunlance.
Because she was influenced by Sherwin in the beginning, Nami didn't like to run away from battles like she did in the manga.
If it really came down to a fight, Nami had no hope of winning against the three main combat forces Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji Meow, but Franky and Chopper might not necessarily be able to beat her, and as for Usopp, it went without saying—no matter which timeline, he was always the bottom tier of the Straw Hat Crew combat power.
...
As they returned to Whole Cake Island, Sherwin stopped his guidance of Nami and, along with Dragon and the others, arrived in the main hall of Whole Cake Chateau.
Since the sparring matches were over, it was naturally time to further discuss the details of their cooperation.
Additionally, it was time to inform Kaido and BIG MOM about the Seraphim and the fact that "Vegapunk" was still alive.
Of course, the matter regarding Edison still had to be kept a secret.
"Ma-ma-ma-ma! So that how it is. No wonder the World Government was willing to get rid of Vegapunk. So that was the reason?"
Because they had the scientists captured from Egghead Island in their hands, both BIG MOM and Kaido knew about Vegapunk having clones.
Therefore, they did not question the matter regarding York, being at most a little curious about how Sherwin and his group had found out about all this.
And when Sherwin brought up the Seraphim, or rather, the Lunarian race, King, who had come along with Kaido to attend the meeting, naturally erupted with a terrifying, murderous intent.
However, BIG MOM clearly did not care about his thoughts, turning directly to Judge to ask, "If you are given the Lunarian Lineage Factor, can you create clones similar to the Seraphim?"
If anyone else had asked, Judge, who had always viewed Vegapunk as his rival, would have definitely been stubborn.
But facing his "beloved" Charlotte Linlin, Judge naturally wouldn't speak recklessly.
With a troubled look on his face, he replied, "Just creating clones with the Lunarian race traits isn't difficult, but wanting them to possess Devil Fruit abilities... I will need some time."
"Ma-ma-ma, don't you dare disappoint me, Judge."
BIG MOM threw a complicated, lingering wink at Judge, which instantly filled him with motivation.
Sherwin: "..."
That is so damn blinding!
Turning around to see King still wearing a stubborn expression, Sherwin couldn't help but advise,
"Even if you don't provide your own Lineage Factor, the World Government won't stop the production of the Seraphim.
Besides, you're probably the only pure-blooded Lunarian left in this world, right? If you don't want your race to go extinct, manufacturing a batch of androids could actually be considered a solution."
Although Sherwin, much like his own little Felynes, didn't like this kind of science that toyed with life, for the Lunarian race which was practically extinct, having a few more clones and androids wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, the premise of all this was that those androids, just like Stussy, weren't programmed with things like "authority" and "shackles."
Kaido, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up, "King, think about it..."
He paused for a moment, looking at Sherwin once again with that strange glance from before. "He might be Joy Boy."
Sherwin: "Huh?!"
