"Waaaaah... Unfair! This world isn’t fair at all, meow!"

orz╮

Sherwin hand had just touched Klee Meow little head, and he was planning to say some nice things to praise her, when Mr. Kamijo grief-stricken and indignant crying came from beside him.

Emmm... Actually, it wasn’t impossible to understand him...

Glancing at Touma Meow with a speechless yet slightly pitiful gaze, Sherwin didn’t know how best to comfort him at this moment.

"Don’t cry, Big Brother Touma, meow~"

(=ΦωΦ=)つ

The little angel Klee Meow pushed the treasure chest in her hands in front of him, "I’ll give this chest to you, meow."

"Waaaaah... Sister Klee, you are so nice, meow!"

(=QДQ=)

Touma Meow was deeply moved, hugging the little Ragdoll and rubbing faces with her for a few moments, before refusing with great self-awareness:

"But there no need to give the treasure chest to me, if it given to me, maybe inside there will be poison gas, darts, or some other kind of trap, meow."

When the little cow cat said these words, he already had an appearance of someone who had seen through the vanity of the world and had no more desires.

"Is that so, meow?"

(=ω=)

The little Ragdoll scratched her ear in confusion, "But Klee feels like there are good things inside, and there isn’t any danger at all, oh."

Although he believed in Klee Meow good luck, Sherwin also believed in Touma Meow bad luck just the same. Feeling that the situation Touma Meow described was entirely possible to happen, Sherwin hurriedly spoke up to persuade her:

"Alright, Klee, since you found it, it still better for you to open it. Worst case, if something really good is opened up, wouldn’t it be fine to just give it to Touma then?"

"Oh, right, meow."

Klee Meow thought about it and found it made sense, so she joyfully opened the box in her hands.

Inside this small box lay only a transparent glass bottle. Its mouth was plugged with a cork and sealed with wax. Inside the bottle was a roll of parchment that looked quite aged, tied with a deep red string.

"Yay! It a treasure map meow!"

(=＞＜=)

Upon seeing the contents of the box, Klee Meow immediately cheered.

So it was a treasure map, no wonder Klee Meow picked it up...

Sherwin nodded understandingly.

In this world dominated by pirates, things like treasure maps were naturally indispensable. Over the years, Sherwin and the others had acquired quite a few treasure maps themselves.

Although some were real and some were fake, and other treasures had long been taken by someone else, to Klee Meow, the fun was always in the process of treasure hunting. As for what treasure they finally got, it wasn’t all that important instead.

"Brother Sherwin~ Can we go treasure hunting, please meow~"

(=ω=)

After taking the treasure map out of the bottle, the little Ragdoll cat immediately squeezed into Sherwin embrace and spoiled him.

"Of course no problem," Sherwin rubbed her little head, "but before that, we have to meet with Kuma and old man Garp son first."

After leaving Weatheria, Sherwin contacted Morgans and Kuma, asking them respectively for an Eternal Pose to Sleepy Old Town and requesting to meet with Dragon.

As a result, Morgans told Sherwin that he had never heard of a place called Sleepy Old Town, and then turned around to ask him which specific island Sleepy Old Town was on...

How the f*ck was Sherwin supposed to know that? He hadn’t even played that game he had only learned about the existence of the Vampire Fruit, and Sleepy Old Town through One Piece fanfic novels, related videos, and other channels.

Sherwin could barely even remember whether that raccoon dog capable of copying others was a raccoon dog that turned into a pen, or a pen that turned into a raccoon dog.

Fortunately, Vegapunk had friendly sponsored a Husky Fruit, allowing Haibara Meow to successfully create the elemental beast for the demon drug. He didn’t need to be in such a hurry to look for the Vampire Fruit anymore...

Well, though Haibara Meow might already regret it a little.

On the other side, because of the Egghead Island incident, the Revolutionary Army needed some time to deal with the pursuit of the Navy and CP agents. Furthermore, the abilities exposed by the Five Elders also forced them to adjust their plans.

In addition, just like those pirates, that battle at Egghead Island had made them fully realize the importance of Vegapunk. They also needed to discuss how to abduct him into the Revolutionary Army, so the meeting was postponed.

However, the meeting time agreed upon by both sides was just two days away, so Sherwin was in no hurry to take Klee Meow treasure hunting.

"Okay, okay!" Klee Meow wasn’t in a hurry either, and instead became even happier. "When the time comes, we can bring Bonney along to hunt for treasure, meow!"

(=`=)

Just as the Felyne Expedition was digesting the technology they had fleeced from Vegapunk and Weatheria, and preparing to meet with Dragon to continue causing trouble for the World Government...

The World Government was already in deep "trouble."

Because Vegapunk Egghead Island had once again suffered a pirate attack.

The Navy trap of pretending to transport scientists had actually been spotted by Charlotte Perospero long ago.

It was just that Kaido and Big Mom, after some discussion, chose to pretend they hadn’t noticed, and continued arranging for their subordinates to attack those teams.

Meanwhile, Kaido and BIG MOM secretly took several of their strongest officers with them, used a certain special method to evade the surveillance of the Navy and CP agents, and then lunged straight for Egghead Island.

Although a large number of Navy troops were stationed at Egghead Island, and even Fleet Admiral Aokiji, because his own ability was suitable for defense, chose to leave Marine Headquarters to Sengoku and Garp while he ran to Egghead Island to work with the three Admirals, they were still caught off guard this time.

Because this time Kaido and the others didn’t choose to fight to the death. Their primary target wasn’t actually Vegapunk either, but still those other scientists who had participated in the research and development.

Therefore, Vegapunk, who was heavily protected, was completely fine, but more than a dozen of those scientists who had long been sent back to Egghead Island were captured and taken away.

After capturing these scientists, Kaido and the others didn’t delay any further, decisively choosing to flee.

"Damn it! How on earth did they appear on Egghead Island?! What the hell are our intelligence personnel doing?!"

Akainu slammed his fist onto the desk. The scorching magma instantly burned through the wooden desk and scorched several holes into the floor.

"Calm down, Sakazuki."

Aokiji tapped his foot lightly, sending a wave of frost spreading across the ground to Akainu side, extinguishing the flames on the ignited desk and the floor.

"You saw it too. They appeared out of nowhere. It highly likely that there is someone among the pirates with a polarization or invisibility ability. We can’t blame the intelligence personnel for incompetence because of this."

"If you ask me, we are still being too passive!" Knowing that Aokiji was right, Akainu switched the topic.

"We should gather our strength and take the initiative to strike! Go to Pirate Island or Totto Land, and wipe out one of those two pirate crews!"

"Then what about Vegapunk and Egghead? Once we redeploy our forces away from Egghead, other pirates will definitely attack immediately."

Kizaru shook his head in opposition.

"Then are we supposed to just keep wasting time with those pirates like this?! Because of Vegapunk, our control over other regions has been weakened a lot.

For all we know, the Revolutionary Army might already be aggressively expanding in the shadows! And that Hunter, there been no movement from them for a while. Who knows if they are plotting some conspiracy again!"

Sakazuki, who simply wanted to take the initiative to strike, had no idea that the excuse he randomly came up with was actually the truth.

Kuzan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Everything you said is correct, but... the World Government won’t agree to it."

"Then go and fight for it with them!" Sakazuki roared.

"Don’t the Gorosei have the capability to hold off Kaido and BIG MOM? Let them and the Holy Knights protect Vegapunk, while our Marines go and attack the strongholds of those pirates!"

"Do you think I haven’t fought for it?!"

Kuzan also lost his temper. Slapping the desk, he roared back at Akainu, "But the Gorosei just won’t agree! I can’t exactly drag them over here by force!"

"Then we just take action directly! I don’t believe they would just watch with their eyes wide open as Vegapunk gets captured by pirates!"

"You’re too radical, Sakazuki!"

"It you who is too weak, Kuzan! If I were the Marine Fleet Admiral, I would never serve as miserably as you are doing!"

Completely unaware of how "loyal" he was in the original timeline, Sakazuki bashed Kuzan without any psychological burden.

The great Gray Lady once said: Lies do not hurt, the truth is the sharp blade.

During this period, Aokiji had indeed been feeling incredibly miserable, so, unsurprisingly, his defenses crumbled.

With his mental state thoroughly collapsed, he shouted a classic line from another set at Akainu: "Shut up, Sakazuki! I am the Marine Fleet Admiral!"
