Free Web NovelChapter 713: 713 Trans Town
Although the search process for Trans Town had been rendered useless due to a terrible translation, considering he hadn’t put too much effort into it in the first place, and they had now stumbled upon it by accident thanks to Klee Meow good luck, Sherwin naturally had nothing to be unhappy about. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Bringing the Felynes into Trans Town, Sherwin discovered that the residents of this sparsely populated small town actually displayed emotions that were predominantly curiosity upon seeing them.
It wasn’t that they shouldn’t be curious, but the problem was that Sherwin was now one of the "Five Emperors" whose fame shook the world, and the Felyne reputations weren’t much lesser than his.
In theory, they should be more surprised rather than curious... even if they were mostly fearful, Sherwin wouldn’t find it strange.
"Welcome, guests from afar."
A wrinkled old lady whose height was about the same as the Felynes (with the exception of Kaido Meow) walked forward leaning on a cane. While curiously sizing up the clearly distinct Felynes and Shirahoshi, she spoke slowly,
"Our Trans Town hasn’t had outsiders visit for a very long time. I am the village chief here you can call me Maroma."
"Hello~ Granny Maroma, Klee is here to look for treasure meow!"
The little ragdoll, completely devoid of any wariness, raised the treasure map high and directly stated her purpose.
As a result, Chief Maroma paid no attention at all to the treasure map in Klee Meow hand, but instead cried out with a horrified face, "A c-cat spoke!"
Sherwin: "..."
Emmm... how should he put it? It was a truly nostalgic reaction.
Even if she didn’t recognize Klee Meow and the others, this place was at least located in the latter half of the Grand Line had she really never even seen a Mink?
Sherwin seemed to understand a bit why the people here all had expressions of curiosity. They truly did not recognize him!
However, although this kind of thing was rare, Sherwin hadn’t never encountered it before. In some remote sea areas, because the investment and return were disproportionate, situations would arise where News Birds did not visit often.
There were even instances where some islands would only see a compiled edition of the newspaper once every few years.
Another situation is where rulers intentionally cut off sources of information from the outside world, preventing ordinary people from coming into contact with News Birds and newspapers at all, just like Wano Country originally was.
Not to mention the existence of islands like Zou that are constantly moving, where News Birds simply cannot enter or rather, cannot find.
Therefore, Sherwin was only briefly surprised, and then he had no intention of specially introducing himself to the other party either. He just followed Klee Meow words and explained the purpose of his visit once again.
"Treasure hunting?" Chief Maroma shook her head, "I grew up on this island since I was a child, and I haven’t heard of any treasure here..."
"Oh, it also possible that the treasure was buried here much earlier, and we just don’t know about it."
Perhaps feeling that saying this was a bit impolite, Chief Maroma hurriedly made amends, and then warmly invited them,
"In any case, you all have come from afar, so please come into the town to rest for a bit first. Although Trans is small, it also has a very wonderful inn... That is an old shop with hundreds of years of history, passed down from my grandfather grandfather generation to the present!"
"So it turns out it run by your own family! No wonder you praised it like that meow!"
∑(=`Д=)
Toma Meow shouted out the very words that Sherwin also wanted to complain about.
Although there was a suspicion of self-praise, Sherwin still led everyone toward the only inn in the town of Trans.
Sherwin couldn’t tell for the time being whether it was wonderful or not, but it was certainly old enough.
There were obvious signs of decay on the wooden doors and windows of the inn, and the sign on the storefront also looked precariously unstable...
"Ahahaha... Because guests rarely come to the island, the inn hasn’t been maintained much," Maroma gave a couple of hollow laughs, and then explained with perfect confidence,
"But the inside of the inn is still very wonderful, after all, we also double as a restaurant here!"
Then, she muttered and added in a whisper, "Otherwise, I would have closed it long ago..."
Sherwin: "..."
Although this old lady didn’t appear in the main manga, her personality is completely that of a native pirate.
However, for Sherwin and the others, whether this inn is good or not isn’t actually that important they just need a temporary place to stay.
After all, they have no intention of interfering with the team-building activity of Klee Meow and the rest of the little ones, so the remaining people and Felynes stayed behind to rest in Torrance Town, including Sherwin, Huamei Meow, and Kaido Meow, the three "parents" who could keep the mischievous little Felynes in check.
As for the job of watching over the mischievous little Felynes, it was dumped onto Robin, who speculated that there might also be ruins here and planned to move along with Klee Meow and the others.
Although she wasn’t as effective as the three of them, as the "Felyne brush" in the investigation team second only to Sherwin, the mischievous little Felynes would still listen to Robin words, so Sherwin was still relatively at ease.
The most crucial point was that in his memory, Red didn’t seem to encounter any difficulties during the process of obtaining the Vampire Fruit. Instead, he even had time to summon a large bunch of people to "play" with Luffy, and he had even replicated the battlefields.
Right now, that Red, whose name Sherwin couldn’t remember, was still crouching inside Impel Down, so it was impossible for Klee Meow and the others to run into any situation where they would need to throw bombs.
With such thoughts in mind, Sherwin leisurely watched Klee Meow and the others walk deeper into the island.
"Heehee~ Klee-chin isn’t here~ I can cuddle with Sherwin-chin again, meow~"
(=ω=)
As soon as Sherwin returned to the inn, Shermie Meow impatiently threw herself into Sherwin arms and started acting spoiled with him.
"It not like I don’t usually cuddle with you," Sherwin skillfully rubbed her Felyne head. "Aside from Klee and Haibara, you’re the one who clings to me the most, alright?"
"Purr purr purr... But I want to constantly cling to Sherwin-chin just like Klee-chin and Haibara-chin, meow~"
(=ω=)
Shermie Meow continued to act spoiled toward Sherwin while enjoying his service.
Meanwhile, Haibara Meow, squatting on Sherwin shoulder, snorted with a tsundere look and said, "I don’t want to cling to this idiot Sherwin at all. I’m only staying on this idiot back to keep Klee company, meow!"
(=`へ=)
"If it to keep Klee-chan company, I can do that too~ Since you don’t like clinging to Sherwin-chan, Haibara-chan, why don’t I take your place, meow?"
(=ω=)
Shermie Meow, who knew Haibara Meow personality well, teased her on purpose. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Ugh... Ugh... Shermie sister is several years older than Klee and doesn’t share much common language with her, meow! So it better for me to continue keeping Klee company!"
(=ˇˇ=)
The little kitten hemmed and hawed for a long time, finally squeezing out such an excuse that wasn’t really an excuse.
In fact, Haibara Meow also knew that Shermie Meow was teasing her on purpose, but with this tsundere kitten personality, she would continue to be stubborn even if she knew.
Seeing that the mischievous Shermie Meow was about to speak again, the little kitten preempted her with a "meow," jumped down from Sherwin shoulder, and pounced on Shermie Meow, wrestling with her.
And then...
Unsurprisingly, most of the little claws of these two kittens landed on a certain "Hunter" brand cat scratch post again.
Sherwin: "..."
Just as he was about to step in and stop these two little mischievous cats from teaming up against him, Shermie Meow, who was trading cat punches with Haibara Meow, suddenly used her elemental form to break free from the little kitten entanglement and landed on Sherwin shoulder.
"Sherwin, there are a lot of people coming this way, and they don’t seem friendly meow!"
(=`ー=)
Shermie Meow turned her head toward the outside of the inn, pinning her ears back.
