"Well, I'm not familiar with controlling Conqueror Haki. Why don't you try sharing it with Huamei instead?"
Sherwin spoke to Sasha Meow after failing several attempts to further condense the Conqueror Haki.
Immediately after, he felt the steady flow of Conqueror Haki suddenly cut off, and the energy remaining within his body began to slowly dissipate.
Sherwin tried to use Armament Haki to "seal" the remaining Conqueror Haki, which successfully slowed the rate of dissipation, but he couldn't keep it perfectly contained within his body.
It would eventually vanish completely, and drawing upon this Haki would only accelerate its consumption.
On the other side, Huamei Meow received the share from Sasha Meow. With her extensive experience in using Conqueror Haki, she faced no difficulties and immediately used the power shared by Sasha Meow to perform a perfect Conqueror Infusion.
"It feels a bit awkward compared to using my own, meow."
Huamei Meow swung her paws a couple of times and shared her experience.
"After all, this isn't your own Haki," Sherwin nodded as if it were a matter of course.
"And from how you've been using it, maybe after a few more practices, you'll be able to use it as easily as your own limbs... By the way, can you mix your Conqueror Haki with Sasha?"
"I'll try, meow..."
Huamei twitched her ears and released her own Conqueror Haki.
And then...
Small streaks of black lightning appeared around her claws. Immediately after, Sherwin sensed that the Conqueror Haki belonging to Sasha Meow was directly "extinguished."
"It seems it doesn't work, meow."
╮(=ΦωΦ=)╭
Huamei spread her paws and withdrew her Conqueror Haki.
"That a pity, considering Sasha Conqueror Haki isn't aggressive toward us."
Even as he said this, Sherwin didn't feel much regret. After all, if one already possessed their own Conqueror Haki, there was no real need for Sasha Meow to share hers.
But then again...
"Sasha, can you only share your Conqueror Haki with one person?"
"Yeah, I'm still not very skilled at it, so I can't split my focus to provide it to multiple targets, meow."
(=ΦωΦ=)
Sasha Meow twitched her ears and added, "However, I should be able to do it once I get used to it it just needs some time to practice, meow."
This was to be expected, and even if Sasha Meow couldn't do it, it wasn't actually a big problem.
Sherwin had just experienced it himself after the supply was cut off, the Conqueror Haki remaining on Sasha Meow body could still be used for a period of time.
So, if they really wanted to manage it, providing a simultaneous supply to multiple targets shouldn't be too difficult either.
At that moment, Klee Meow, sitting on his shoulder, suddenly spoke up thoughtfully, "Then Sister Sasha isn't as good as Naruto. Naruto Nine-Tails Mode can be shared with many people at once, meow."
(=`ー=)
The little Ragdoll nodded her head solemnly. Upon hearing this, the other Felynes all nodded their heads in agreement as well.
Only Sasha Meow, who had not yet heard the story of "Naruto Meow," was completely bewildered, having no idea who the Naruto Klee Meow mentioned was.
Having been led off-track, Sherwin also nodded his head.
"Ahem... we'll talk about Naruto business later. Let test some other things first."
Bringing his thoughts back on track, Sherwin cleared his throat, stroked Sasha Meow head, and continued to ask, "Is it that you can't share and release your own Conqueror Haki at the same time?"
"Release? What do you meow?"
(=ω=)
Sasha Meow scratched her head in confusion.
Even though she was clearly capable of sharing her Conqueror Haki, she remained completely unaware of the Haki she was emitting, much like how Luffy had been when he first awakened his...
Though, to be fair, she really had just awakened it.
Fortunately, neither the Felyne Investigation Team nor the Whitebeard Pirates lacked humans and Felynes who had mastered Conqueror Haki.
Under their demonstration and guidance, Sasha Meow quickly mastered the release of her Haki.
And then...
"This is different from increasing the number of sharing targets. I feel like no matter how much I practice, it impossible to activate both methods at the same time, meow."
(=ˇˇ=)
After several repeated attempts, Sasha Meow replied with her small face tensed up.
Tsk... Sherwin felt somewhat regretful.
If it were just ordinary Conqueror Haki, it wouldn't have mattered much, since releasing it only cleared out fodder if not Sasha Meow, there was still Huamei Meow, Kaido Meow, and even Yamato could handle that job.
The issue was that Sasha Meow Conqueror Haki was unique—it functioned as a buffing aura. It was a bit of a pity that they couldn't be activated simultaneously.
However, Sherwin showed no sign of disappointment on the surface. Instead, he smiled and patted Sasha Meow small head.
"It not a big deal. We actually don't need these abilities most of the time anyway. One bomb from Klee Meow and everything is settled."
"That right, that right! Klee Meow bombs are super powerful, meow!"
(=`=)
The little Ragdoll cat puffed out her chest and put her paws on her hips with an air of triumph.
Finally, Sherwin wanted to test if Sasha Meow Conqueror Haki truly possessed the ability to automatically distinguish between friend and foe.
"Try to direct some hostility toward me, and then release your Conqueror Haki."
"Ugh..."
o(=＞ー＜=)o
Sasha Meow clenched her little paws and squeezed her eyes shut, struggling for a long while before shaking her head with a look of grievance.
"Brother Sherwin is so good to me, and you even rescued me from the Shakalaka. I really can't feel any hostility toward you, meow..."
What a well-behaved little kitten!
Sherwin showered Sasha Meow little head with a flurry of kisses before pointing at Ace.
"Then use him for the test. He was bullying Sanji Meow just now, you should have some experience with that, right?"
"Mhm!"
Sasha Meow nodded decisively, dealing a heavy blow to Ace, who was just about to protest.
"Wait a minute! We were clearly just sparring, how did that turn into me bullying Sanji Meow?!"
"Sanji Meow didn't want to fight you in the first place, you were intentionally provoking him, meow!"
(=`н=)
Since Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom in addition to being the Goddess of War, Ace little tricks naturally couldn't escape her notice.
Even if the Athena in the manga didn't seem particularly "wise," constantly getting captured time and again.
The bickering and sparring between Ace and Sanji Meow didn't really amount to much, but since Sasha Meow had put it that way, Ace was too embarrassed to argue with a kitten.
Besides, he was actually quite curious to see how Sasha Meow Conqueror Haki would change.
Thus, that Conqueror Haki, which had felt so invigorating to Sherwin and the others, spread out once more.
"It really does feel different!"
Ace said to Whitebeard with a look of surprise, "Pops, it amazing! Even though I can sense it the same kind of Conqueror Haki, the feeling is completely different!"
"What is the specific feeling? How does it compare to other types of Conqueror Haki?"
Sherwin, who felt no different than before, interrupted the interaction between Ace and Whitebeard to ask for details.
"Well, there doesn't seem to be much difference from other Conqueror Haki they all give off a sense of pressure... and... it feels like Sasha pressure isn't quite as strong."
Ace, who possessed Conqueror Haki himself, was relatively dull when it came to sensing other Haki.
Moreover, he was naturally a bit of a scatterbrain, so after sensing for a long while, he only managed to give this vague description.
"It probably because Sasha knows you aren't a real enemy meow."
(=`=)
Haibara Meow nodded thoughtfully, then she tugged on Whitebeard beard.
"Old man Newgate, can you have your sons talk about their feelings meow? It possible Sasha Conqueror Haki is even more detailed than we imagined meow."
"Gurararara! Did you all hear that? Hurry up and tell Haibara what you feel!"
At this moment, Whitebeard was like a grandfather doting on his granddaughter, ordering his large group of sons without hesitation.
Isn't that just how it goes with grandchildren?
By collecting data from the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, Sherwin finally confirmed just how "intelligent" Sasha Meow Conqueror Haki was...
Whether it was a buff or a debuff, the intensity was adjusted entirely based on Sasha Meow subjective perception.
To put it simply, the better the relationship with Sasha Meow, the higher the "inspiring" effect received.
However, there was a cap to this effect, and the Felynes received much stronger buffs than humans or Fish-Men.
As for the negative effects, since Ace was the only case of a "pseudo-enemy," the specific upper limit could not yet be determined.
But presumably, at the very least, it would not be inferior to ordinary Conqueror Haki.
