CHAPTER 211: DORAEMON MEOWTH!

The next few days of sailing went smoothly.

During this initial period, they were still within the waters of the Six Continents, so there were no particularly dangerous encounters.

The strongest threats they faced were whirlpool tides and shark attacks.

But against a ship full of powerful fighters, these were hardly a concern.

Even the aggressive sharks were torn to pieces.

As for how that happened—

Well, that had everything to do with Golem.

Golem was the mercenary who wore a robotic exosuit.

Golem’s Aura Weapons also caught Akira’s attention, who considered it a rather valuable Nen ability.

They could generally be divided into two types.

The first type involved both the firearms and ammunition being materialized by Golem himself, which consumed more aura.

The second type involved only materializing the guns and barrels.

These aura weapons could still use ordinary ammunition.

If ordinary ammunition wasn’t available, it didn’t matter—Nen Users wielding these Aura Weapons could actively channel aura into them.

The ammunition would then automatically take shape inside, retaining its formidable power.

The eleven-member [Stonewall] mercenary unit, which included Golem, were all aboard the ship.

Their usual combat tactics involved Golem materializing weapons while the others handled the shooting.

However, each member had their own specialized role—not a single one among the eleven was redundant.

Some were responsible for reconnaissance, others for transportation, logistics, and more...

To be called a legendary mercenary unit, each of these eleven excelled in their respective fields.

With Golem’s Aura Weapons provided, the crew on board got to experience the joy of explosive fishing.

Most wielded massive Aura bazookas, hardly needing to aim as they fired directly into schools of sharks.

Each Aura projectile could obliterate large clusters of sharks.

In the blink of an eye, the azure sea was stained crimson with blood, the entire surface thick with the color of blood.

...

On the shimmering waves, Akira lay leisurely atop Lapras’s back, basking in the afternoon sun.

The sea was tranquil, disturbed only by occasional breezes that rippled the water’s surface.

Beneath the pale blue waters, the ocean grew darker with depth, teeming with fish of all sizes.

"Meow!"

Meowth burst out of the water, wearing human-like diving fins and goggles.

"I caught another fish, meow!"

It tossed the fish onto Lapras’s shell before climbing up, shaking off the water effortlessly.

The freshly caught fish was still thrashing about wildly.

This marked Meowth’s thirty-second catch.

"Impressive." Akira patted Meowth’s head, earning an excited tail flick in response.

Akira had no worries about Meowth’s diving expeditions.

Not only were Marshadow and Gengar from the shadows keeping watch, but Meowth itself was perfectly capable of handling things alone.

After consolidating his forces during this period, Akira possessed an unimaginable number of Aura Tools.

Most of these had been handed over to Meowth for research.

When already formidable Aura Tools met Meowth’s superhuman inventive genius, the results went far beyond simple addition.

Many of the modified tools had terrifyingly enhanced effects—so much so that even Akira couldn’t help but marvel.

Without exaggeration, Meowth was now the most versatile Pokemon at Akira’s disposal.

It had countless modified tools, each with unique effects.

And this was only a fraction of the Aura Tools Meowth had improved, given limited time.

With more... Given Meowth’s feline nature, Akira was tempted to call it Doraemon.

With so many diverse tools at its disposal, the comparison wasn’t far-fetched.

Not only was it the most versatile, but Meowth’s combat prowess was also formidable with these tools.

Akira was certain: if Meowth went all out, no enemy below SS-tier could stand against it.

Because beyond other tools, one category alone ensured this outcome—

Bombs!

Not ordinary explosives, but ones comparable to the Poor man rose tier!

With the backing of V5’s influence, it was all too easy for Akira to obtain those research reports classified as "confidential."

He specifically selected materials related to high-destructive weapons, which naturally included the Poor man rose.

After acquiring these documents, Meowth showed clear enthusiasm—such things were perfect for its inventions.

After repeated refinements by Meowth, even Akira wasn’t sure how many versions of the bomb existed now.

But one thing Akira could confirm:

The bombs developed by Meowth far surpassed any explosives across the Six Continents!

Even the Poor man rose paled in comparison.

This fact alone convinced Akira that Meowth’s offensive capabilities were formidable.

And it wasn’t just that—Meowth’s survival skills were equally impressive.

So Akira had no worries about Meowth diving into the sea.

Not just in these waters—even in the seas bordering the Dark Continent, Meowth could emerge unscathed.

Meowth stared at the lively, fresh fish before it, a trickle of drool escaping the corner of its mouth.

Its feline instincts told it this fish would be delicious.

But before eating, it remembered its master Akira’s teachings.

Meowth tapped the ring on its finger and in its paw appeared something resembling a thermometer.

[Danger Detector]: Place the sensor on an object’s surface to gauge its level of danger.

The danger level here refers to the object’s inherent threat, not its former strength.

Think of it as a food detector—if the danger level is high, it means the item is inedible.

If the danger level is low, it’s safe to eat.

The threshold is set at 50.

Below 50%, the indicator line is green; above 50%, it turns red.

The danger level is relative—different users may trigger different readings.

For example, a poisoned apple containing toxins might show a red light if tested by an ordinary person.

But if Ging used the [Danger Detector], it would likely show green.

The advantage of the [Danger Detector] is that it doesn’t consume aura.

The downside is that it takes a moment to react, and it doesn’t specify the exact cause of danger.

An object might be hazardous due to toxins—or some other issue.

Overall, it’s a highly useful tool, especially in places like the Dark Continent, where its value truly shines.

With this device, determining whether something is safe to eat becomes effortless.

Meowth held the [Danger Detector] upright like a thermometer and pressed the sensor against the fish’s surface.

The Six Continents alone were home to many bizarre creatures, and after days of sailing, they were drawing closer to uncharted waters.

Encountering strange organisms was only to be expected.

So before eating anything, it had to pass the [Danger Detector] test—otherwise, it wouldn’t dare take a bite.

After a brief moment, a faint green light appeared at the bottom, quickly rising to form a green line.

The line stopped around 10%, meaning the fish was safe for Meowth to eat.

Normally, Nen beasts didn’t need to eat, let alone worry about food safety.

However, Pokemons lean towards being materialized-type Nen beasts—distinct individual entities that also possess the possibility of death.

Thus, their food safety must be treated with the same caution as for humans.
