Sherwin was completely bewildered when he received the call from Morgans.

What did he mean by me going to Egghead Island? Am i not currently on Elegia?

He even made a conscious effort to look up, but he certainly didn’t see Punk Records, which was used to store Vegapunk massive head.

"Are you drunk?"

Sherwin instinctively retorted.

"Eh?"

Morgans was clearly a bit stunned by Sherwin reaction.

"You went to Elegia?"

"No kidding, didn’t you find the Eternal Pose for me?"

"Well... I think I probably know what happened now..."

Morgans smacked his lips.

What a mess. He originally thought Sherwin was going to make big news again, but in the end, it was all just a misunderstanding.

Hmm... it seems this could also be published as an interesting anecdote? It definitely wouldn’t make the front page, but putting it on the third page was still possible.

While Morgans was pondering how to handle the next issue of the newspaper, Sherwin, who still hadn’t figured out what was going on, couldn’t help but press further: "So, what exactly is going on?"

"Previously, our news agency informants among the pirates told me that they discovered you were rushing toward Egghead Island. Now it seems it was all a misunderstanding..."

Morgans paused for a moment and then said with a fair bit of schadenfreude: "I must say, you really caused quite a stir just to go to Elegia. Now look what happened people from the Beast Pirates and Big Mom, as well as other pirates and the Marines, have all been drawn there by you."

Sherwin: "..."

Feeling that the development was completely absurd, he looked up and saw Uta and Gordon watching him with tense expressions.

He hadn’t tried to hide while making the call, and that bird Morgans had a loud voice, so the two of them had naturally heard everything clearly.

"How long will it take for that group to reach Elegia?"

Sherwin first gestured for the two to stay calm, then lowered his head to ask the portable Den Den Mushi on his wrist.

"At least half a day or more, and that assuming they don’t encounter any bad weather along the way," Morgans quickly provided a rough estimate.

"Moreover, it will take them some time to actually find Elegia. Your Dodo Advance is far too fast for them to keep up with they only know your general direction."

"In that case, Morgans, do me a favor."

"Wahahahaha! Are you planning to break some more big news?!"

Morgans became instantly excited on the other end of the line.

"Big news... I suppose you could call it that..." Sherwin rubbed his chin and stated his plan. "I intend to invite the whole world to listen to a concert!"

Actually, according to Morgans, top-tier combatants like Kaido and BIG MOM weren’t among the first wave of approaching pirates, so the simplest method would be to just step in and repel that crowd.

The problem was, doing so might actually make them more convinced that Elegia was Egghead...

After all, none of them had ever seen what Egghead looked like, right?

So Sherwin decided to go big. Through the channels of the World Economy News Paper, he would have Uta and the Felynes put on a massive live-streamed performance.

Furthermore, the entertainment technology he had acquired back on Mechanical Island, Baldimore, would finally have a use...

Originally, Sherwin had thought about handing these technologies over to Tesoro to develop Gran Tesoro, but he had temporarily held back out of concern that the World Government might discover the connection between them.

This is a good opportunity to run an advertisement and then find a legitimate reason to sell it to Tesoro.

Even with only half a day, given the working speed of Purah Meow Guardian crafters and snowman laborers, building a stage no less impressive than the one in the movie shouldn’t be a problem.

Building materials can be scavenged directly from the surrounding abandoned structures. As for stage effects like dry ice, fireworks, and snowflakes, the Felyne fruit powers are more than capable of handling them.

After briefly explaining the idea, the naturally fun-loving little Felynes gave their full support, and Purah Meow was also quite interested in this "rush job." As for Uta and Gordon, neither of them objected.

After all, Sherwin had made it very clear that this whole situation was just a misunderstanding from start to finish.

Once the confusion was cleared up, those pirates would naturally retreat. While Uta might face some danger from suddenly becoming famous and being "doxxed," it was still better than getting into a fight with all those pirates.

Furthermore, Uta was more than eager for more people to hear her singing.

"Can you really make my voice reach the whole world?"

Uta wasn’t actually that concerned about the approaching pirates instead, she looked at Sherwin with excitement as she confirmed the plan.

"With the World Economic Journal promotional capabilities, as long as there a Transponder Snail available, they can basically receive the broadcast signal. Whether or not they choose to listen or watch is another matter, but saying it will reach the whole world shouldn’t be much of an issue."

As the media giant of the pirate world, Morgan capabilities in this field were trustworthy.

Even Gordon agreed, saying, "That right. The World Economic Journal was already very famous ten years ago. Many of Elegia performance promotions were done in collaboration with them. I didn’t expect you to be in contact with their president, Sherwin."

After the plan was finalized, Purah Meow started working with the group of Felynes and the construction-type Guardians under her command.

For the construction of the stage, they directly chose the largest area of ruins that Gordon had pointed out earlier.

Because the destruction there was thorough enough, they only needed to clear away the debris and level the ground to create a perfect open space for construction.

In the comics, Franky could hammer out a staircase to the heavens using just a few wooden planks and a mallet.

While Purah Meow wasn’t quite that exaggerated, the speed at which she built while simultaneously commanding and operating a large number of Guardians and Snowmen was certainly not far behind.

Despite some minor interludes—such as Touma Meow getting hit in the head by a rock, Mr. Kamijou accidentally stepping on a nail, and Kamijou Touma tail getting caught in a Guardian joint—the overall progress of the project remained very smooth.

In less than half an hour, Purah Meow had constructed the rough outline of the entire stage.

While Sherwin and the others were busily hammering and working away with great fervor, hundreds of pirate ships were already rushing toward Elegia from various directions.

Following behind them were Navy warships, as well as a second and third wave of pirate ships.

"Let get this straight beforehand: if we run into that guy Sherwin later, we absolutely cannot get into a conflict with him. Otherwise, even if we are allies, I won’t help."

Among the first wave of pirates, the highest-ranking member of the BIG MOM Pirates was an old acquaintance of Sherwin—Cracker, known as "Thousand Arms" yet having suffered a hundred defeats.

Having already been thoroughly beaten into submission by Sherwin and the Felynes, he wanted nothing to do with making an enemy of the Felyne Survey Team ever again.

"I’m not stupid..."

Leading the group from the Beasts Pirates was Sasaki of the Tobi Roppo. He subconsciously touched his nose, his lips twitching with lingering fear.

Back in Wano, he had nearly followed in the footsteps of "Jack the Drought," almost having the horn on the tip of his nose smashed off by that little cat carrying a sake gourd.

Not to mention, Sherwin had a "Kaido" of his own under his command. Even if he were bored to death, there was no way he would go looking for a beating.

Scary monsters like these were best left to the Governor and the All-Stars. As a mere member of the Tobi Roppo, it was better not to meddle blindly.

Sasaki, who had always wanted to challenge the All-Stars and take their place, was actually feeling lucky at this moment that he was still just a member of the Tobi Roppo.

As time ticked by, these pirates reached the waters near Elegia and quickly spotted the only island in the area.

But just then, the Visual Den Den Mushi on their ships and broadcast Den Den Mushi all over the world began to ring in unison...

"Hello, hello, hello~ Can you hear Klee Meow speaking?"

A milky, childish voice emerged from the Den Den Mushi receiving the signal. In the images projected by the Visual Den Den Mushi, the head of a cute cat appeared—one that almost everyone recognized.

"Stop messing around, Klee Meow."

Along with a man voice, a pair of large hands reached out from behind, lifting Klee Meow out of the frame and revealing a magnificent stage that had been hidden by the little ragdoll cat.

"The performance is about to begin."
