"Ieya! Let me see just how you're supposed to be on the same level as the Young Master!"
Dellinger, who looked like a young boy yet wore high heels, was the first to charge at Sherwin. He had wanted to deal with Sherwin on Doflamingo behalf earlier and had been quite indignant after being held back.
"Pistol High Heel!"
Dellinger leaped high into the air, aiming the sharp point of his high heel directly at Sherwin nose and kicking out ruthlessly.
Sherwin evaded Dellinger attack with a simple side-step. He didn't bother drawing the bowstring instead, he swung the "Cat Baby" in his hand like a club, lashing out at his opponent.
"G-Earth Fist: Lower Back Pain Style: Type Ice!"
Lao G hunched his back, striking toward Sherwin shoulder in a strange posture that looked as if he had thrown out his back, attempting to rescue Dellinger.
In truth, Sherwin had initially been quite interested in this Qigong style that allegedly grew stronger with age and could store power for explosive bursts.
However, after his memories resurfaced, he realized that Lao G was actually younger than Whitebeard and Garp. By the time of the Dressrosa arc in the manga, he was so old he nearly died of natural causes mid-battle, which caused Sherwin interest to plummet.
Upon seeing Lao G in person, Sherwin confirmed this assessment. The man did possess a decent internal energy, but it couldn't even be compared to Garp or Whitebeard even Old Man Chinjao aura in his normal state was no weaker than this, and Lao G externalized presence could only be described as mediocre.
Consequently, Sherwin had no intention of dodging. He continued to swing his empty Shell Bow toward Dellinger while simultaneously raising his free hand, casually flicking it toward Lao G incoming attack.
Fish-Man Karate: Three Thousand Tile Punch.
Although Sherwin talent for Fish-Man Karate was relatively ordinary, his base attributes were high enough that mastering techniques that didn't require water manipulation was quite easy for him.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled thuds rang out almost simultaneously, and Dellinger and Lao G were sent flying back together.
Sherwin drew the bowstring, though he didn't notch an actual arrow, and aimed at Dellinger, who had been the first to move.
Even though the boy was currently around the same age as Shirahoshi, the Hunter, who frequently sparred with Felynes, had no reservations about striking an opponent just because they were a child.
Besides, getting knocked out of the fight early was for the best in his case.
Whir.
As he released the string, an arrow composed entirely of flames erupted from a screw hole in the center of the bow arm, flying straight toward Dellinger while he was still mid-air.
Just then, a slightly plump figure burst out from underground, grabbing Dellinger in mid-air and pulling him toward the ground, narrowly avoiding Sherwin fire arrow.
At the same time, another exceptionally obese figure plummeted from high above, crashing down toward the spot where Sherwin stood.
"Ton-Ton: Ten-Thousand Kilogram Vice!"
Despite Machvise easily knocking down Giant warriors in the manga, his actual threat level to someone who had mastered Observation Haki was practically zero.
In fact, as long as one reaction speed was fast enough, even without Observation Haki, avoiding such a vertical, direct attack was merely a matter of taking a few steps to the side.
Boom!
The massive Machvise slammed into the ground, creating a giant spiderweb of cracks across the arena stage.
Yeah, confirmed. Based on that destructive power, forget a thousand tons—even a hundred tons was a stretch.
"Dammit... my stomach hurts-in. As expected of a Warlord on the same level as the Young Master-in, his movements are far too agile."
Macho Vis rubbed his stomach as he stood up from the ground and quickly retreated, trying to scramble back to his companions.
Even though he hadn't managed to crush Sherwin, Sherwin felt as if he had suffered a direct mental assault. After all, any normal person would find it unbearable to have a burly, bearded fat man whimpering and acting cute at them.
Alright, it was decided the first target to be eliminated was this whimpering freak.
Sherwin drew his bow once more.
"Whir—! Whir—!"
Two arrows, one of lightning and one of fire, chased after Macho Vis. This wasn't the end, however, as Sherwin kept the bowstring taut, continuing to charge his power.
"Whir—!"
This time, the spiral vents of the two Impact Dials, top and bottom, spewed out their respective stored elements. They rapidly intertwined, transforming into a single flaming arrow shimmering with lightning, trailing the previous two elemental arrows as it soared toward Macho Vis.

"Waaah!"
Macho Vis tried to dodge, but the first lightning arrow arrived too quickly, paralyzing him on the spot and leaving him unable to move. The following fire arrow and lightning-fire arrow struck his body almost simultaneously they pierced through his massive belly while setting his entire form ablaze.
"Aaaaaagh!"
Macho Vis let out a shrill scream, rolling frantically on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames on his body.
"Army Flag!"
Diamante, one of the four top officers and head of the "Diamonds," finally made his move. He first used his ability to affect the entire arena, as the waves formed on the ground pushed the still-burning Machvise into the seawater to the side.
Although Machvise was an ability user and the seawater was filled with fierce Fighting Fish, suffering a little was better than being burned to death on the stage.
One had to admit that the differences between Paramecia types were quite significant. Luffy had to work himself to death and get hammered by Kaido before he could unlock Gear 5 to finally affect his surroundings with his ability, making the ground elastic like rubber, yet Diamante could achieve something similar so effortlessly.
"Sword: Snake Sword!"
While Sherwin was marveling at this, Diamante, having saved his companion, did not continue to watch from the sidelines as he had before. Instead, he took the lead and launched an attack on Sherwin.
"G Fist: Lower Back Pain Style: Pain of the Immortal Warrior!"
"Guillotine Heels!"
"Cat Ear Fist!"
The remaining three followed closely behind, attacking Sherwin together.
"...Felynes don't look like a pervert like you!"
However, Sherwin had no intention of paying attention to the others at all, aiming the "Cat Meow" straight at Senor, who had placed his fists by his ears in the shape of cat ears...
Pah! He would never acknowledge those things as cat ears!
While cursedly complaining in his heart, Sherwin hands didn't delay for a second. He rapidly pulled the bowstring, instantly firing dozens of Thunder and Flame Arrows, all of them targeted at Senor in his baby outfit.
Hunter Style: Night Sakura Scatter!
Even though Senor past was quite touching, that was no excuse for him to use such an eye-searing look to pretend to be a Felyne!
Moreover, to put it bluntly, the tragedy of Senor and his family was originally caused by his own dishonesty and his identity as a pirate. While tragic, he brought it upon himself.
The truly pitiful ones were the woman who had been deceived by him and their child.
Crack! Boom!
Accompanied by countless flashes of lightning and fire, Senor was shot down from mid-air by Sherwin without suspense, falling onto the stage covered in flames just like Machvise before him.
But unlike Machvise, as a hard-boiled man, Senor did not let out a single scream. Instead, he managed to endure the pain and use his fruit ability to sink himself into the stage, using it to extinguish the flames on his body.
Nevertheless, even though the flames were out, he no longer had the strength to fight and could only lie dying in a corner of the arena.
"Tsk!"
After defeating Senor, Sherwin quickly calmed down, clicking his tongue in slight annoyance.
In his momentary surge of indignation, he had completely forgotten that his original goal was to stall for time.
