Monster Hunter of the One Piece World

After landing on several islands and sending a few more pirate crews to feed the fish along the way, Nico Robin was finally about to part ways with Sherwin and the Felynes.

Before the farewell, Sherwin and the Felynes handed out the gifts they had prepared.

"These are Boom Booms, basic-type bomb ," Klee Meow said as she handed a pile of red-and-white, tennis ball-sized round plushies into Nico Robins hands.

"Since Robin big sister Devil Fruit ability is different from Klee, Klee changed the detonation method, meow."

"You just need to press here, and it will explode in five seconds. If you hold it down for more than five seconds, then it will only explode on impact after being thrown, meow." The little plushie patiently explained to Robin how to use the Boom Boom bombs.

She even optimized them specifically for Robin Devil Fruit ability. "Also, the impact has to reach a certain strength, so Robin big sister can use your power to keep throwing and catching them with your arms, then choose the best time and place to detonate them, meow!"

Sherwin mouth twitched. These custom-made bombs were all produced amid his constant anxiety. He had no idea how many times seawater splashed all over him or how often he ended up scorched and covered in soot…

But this kind of thing wasn't new. It was just that Klee Meow had been running experiments a bit too frequently lately, all in order to prepare these "self-defense weapons" for Robin.

"These are Boom Booms too, but they're enhanced-power types, meow." The little plushie took out another pile of bombs of the same size, except these ones were solid red.

"Bam Bam bombs are too big and not convenient to carry, meow. So Klee boosted the Boom Booms power. They're still not as strong as Bam Bams, but not far off either, meow."

"That way past self-defense level!" Sherwin finally couldn't hold back his complaint.

"Power close to Bam Bam bombs… Are you trying to make Robin die with her enemies?!"

When Klee Meow used bombs herself, she could use her Flame-Flame Fruit ability to either weaken or amplify the explosion power.

Because of that, when she made bombs, she never bothered worrying about power limits. She just kept stacking the power up.

So Klee Meow Bam Bam bombs weren't anything like in the game, where the blast was only a small area. On the contrary, they were much more in line with the lore description of "reshaping the landscape."

Sherwin absolutely did not believe that the so-called "power" mentioned by this little arsonist queen referred to the weakened version… It was 100% based on the full explosion power of the Bam Bam bombs!

In other words, the only time she needed to use her own ability to amplify the power was if she wanted even more.

Otherwise, even these enhanced Boom Booms… in the future, who would need Crocodile to plant timed bombs? Robin could probably blow up the entire Alabasta herself—no, scratch that—she definitely could.

Sherwin had complete confidence in Klee Meow bombs!

Even so, blowing up the royal palace of Alabasta would be a piece of cake…

Wait, could it be that Crocodile plan to destroy the palace in the manga would actually succeed because of Klee Meow bombs?

Sherwin thought nervously to himself.

"Don't worry, Sherwin big brother! Klee already considered that, meow!" The little plushie puffed up her chest with pride.

"The enhanced Boom Booms only have one trigger method—however long you hold the button, they'll explode after that same amount of time, meow! They're actually timed bombs, meow! And to prevent accidental detonation, Klee set a minimum delay of ten seconds, meow!"

That not what I'm worried about!!

But when Sherwin saw the "Praise me!" look on Klee Meow face, he couldn't bring himself to shout. He could only force a smile, give her little head an encouraging pat, and glance at Nico Robin…

Yeah, her expression wasn't any better than his.

Makes sense. After all, these past few days, she had witnessed quite a few of Klee Meow experiments and pirate-exploding "demonstrations."

"Ahem… I'll use them carefully. Thank you, Klee," Nico Robin said cautiously, putting away the enhanced Boom Booms.

"Klee also prepared one last type of bomb for you, Robin big sister, meow!" Riding the wave of praise and gratitude, Klee Meow quickly pulled out a third type of Boom Boom—these ones pure white.

"Even though they're Boom Booms, their effect is actually whoosh-whoosh, meow~" the little plushie said, pointing to the white bombs.

"They're basically the prototypes of the Whoosh Whoosh bombs. As for how to use them, it just like the basic Boom Booms, meow. Their explosive power isn't high, but they're super useful for blasting fish, meow!"

In fact, these Boom Boom sonic bombs were the most suitable for Robin to use for self-defense—but clearly, Klee Meow intended for her to use them for fishing instead...

All Sherwin could say was—yeah, that just so Klee Meow.

Next was Sanji Meow gift—unsurprisingly, it was food.

"Because I had to consider the shelf life, I could only make things like sausages and smoked meat, meow." Sanji Meow handed the food he had prepared to Nico Robin and spoke with some helplessness.

There wasn't much else he could do. Though Sherwin had a space pouch with built-in preservation magic, that thing was bound to him personally.

Otherwise, Sherwin wouldn't have minded sharing one—after all, the other Felynes he summoned in the future would likely have similar gear. They wouldn't be short on supplies.

"This is already really nice," Nico Robin smiled as she scratched Sanji Meow chin. "Thank you."

Finally, it was Sherwin turn. Aside from fighting, he had no special talents, so he didn't have any unique gift to offer.

In the end, he simply stuffed some money into Robin hand and told her about the existence of Haki.

"Logia-type Devil Fruit users are still pretty rare in the Four Blues, so you don't need to rush to learn Armament Haki. But if you can awaken Observation Haki, your survivability will improve drastically. At least in the West Blue, you won't be in too much danger. The problem is, I don't really know how to awaken it either…"

Sherwin shrugged helplessly. He hadn't even awakened Observation Haki himself yet, so there wasn't much he could teach Robin. Still, after thinking it over, he added one more bit of advice:

"It said that under intense stress or pressure, or when your mind is highly focused, it becomes easier to awaken Observation Haki. But you still need a certain level of foundation for that to happen."

He wasn't just speaking nonsense. In the manga, there are only two instances where the awakening of Observation Haki is depicted.

One is Koby, who awakened Observation Haki during the intense and brutal atmosphere of the War. Overwhelmed by the flood of information upon awakening, he became famously known as the "King of Cowards."

The other is Usopp, who used Observation Haki during his second confrontation with Sugar in Dressrosa, when his focus reached an extremely high level.

"I understand," Nico Robin gave Sherwin and the others a deep bow. "Thank you all so much for your help. If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely repay you."

Sherwin scratched his head awkwardly. After all, he had chosen to drive Robin away out of concern for the World Government, so her gratitude made him feel undeserving.

Klee Meow, on the other hand, clung tightly to Robin thigh, teary-eyed as she once again pleaded, "Robin-nee, can't you stay, meow?"

Robin rubbed Klee Meow little head without replying, but her refusal was already clear. Klee Meow could only reluctantly let go.

"If you ever get the chance... you could try seeking out the Revolutionary Army."

Before Nico Robin left, Sherwin still gave her this suggestion. After all, she'd be sent flying there by Kuma eventually anyway—getting in contact a bit earlier wouldn't make much of a difference.

As for whether this would cause Robin to miss her chance to meet Luffy, Sherwin still had the same response—

How that his damn problem?
