I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Qiang——!"

Fresh Blade Shiragi and Hachisaijie collided fiercely with each other amidst the backdrop of black lightning.

Immediately afterwards...

Kaido was chopped away by Xie Wen.

"What?!" Jack and Foz F couldn't believe what they saw.

However, Xie Wen, who had chopped Kaido away, did not feel happy, because he knew that he was able to win just now purely by accident.

The Thunderous Bagua that Kaido just used was just a casual attack. Even though he temporarily strengthened the power of that move when he realized that something was wrong, the Crimson Dragon's Grudge Slash was after all the strongest move that Xie Wen could currently use. It should be no problem to deal with Kaido who was not using his full strength.

This knife even successfully broke through Kaido's defense and left a not-so-deep wound on his shoulder.

However, this is all Xie Wen can do.

Unlike the aged Rayleigh and the swordsman Hawkeye, Kaido is not only at his peak, but his body is also much stronger than most people in this world. Even if Xie Wen had his way, he could only barely break his defense. It would be wishful thinking to take advantage of the situation and injure him more seriously...

Even Xie Wen doubted whether his sword could help Kaido sober up. After all, Luffy in the Fourth Gear had been fighting for such a long time, and Kaido was still drunk.

So how did Kin'emon and his friends in the comics manage to injure Kaido just by using their Armament Haki? ! Is the Ryuo technique of Wano Country that powerful?

Xie Wen quickly poured a bottle of recovery medicine into his mouth, cursed inwardly, and then rushed up again without waiting for Kaido to get up.

Monster hunting flow·Red meteor!

"Oh la la la la la!" Kaido laughed and swung his stick to block Xie Wen's attack, his eyes full of surprise, "Your name is Xie Wen, right? Are you interested in becoming my subordinate?"

Although Xie Wen's knife attack just now did not cause much damage to Kaido, Kaido, who likes to recruit talents, naturally does not want to let go of anyone who can hurt him.

"Sorry, I have no interest in being a pirate!"

Xie Wen decisively refused.

"Really? That's a shame."

Kaido said this, but there was not much disappointment on his face. Anyway, he never cared about the other party's wishes when recruiting people. If they agreed, that was the best. If they didn't agree, he would capture them and throw them into the quarry in Tuwan to grind them for a while, and they would naturally agree.

Kaido, who was very experienced in "recruiting", turned the Eight Precepts in his hand and threw it at Xie Wen.

Xie Wen dodged sideways, then slashed at Kaido's right rib with his backhand.

Monster hunting flow·Fengya tornado!

At the same time, Meowjuro's figure appeared behind Kaido, raised the Falling Water that had not been exchanged yet, and stabbed it towards his head.

"Water Breathing·Seventh Form·Shizuku Ripple Stab-meow!"

On the other side, Suika also staggered over, and while quickly enlarging her body, she swung Ibuki Ryori and smashed it at Kaido's left shoulder.

"The Four Heavenly Kings Secret Technique: Three Steps to Destroy Meowth!"

"Oh la la la la la... well timed!"

The besieged Kaido was not angry but happy. He swung the Eight Rings in his hand at a faster speed and smashed them in all directions at the same time.

"Jundali·Long Shengjun!"

Although it was a random attack similar to that of the Demonic Dance, it was obvious that Kaido did not take the two "Cat Fur Tribes" Meowjuro and Suika Meow too seriously. He just hit them twice casually, and the rest of the attacks were directed at Xie Wen.

However, while the bonus effect of the Demon Sword Rakshasa and Link's time was still there, Xie Wen still reluctantly took the attacks that were thrown at him.

On the cats' side, Meowjuro used the agile body of Fenyx to avoid Kaido's stick and successfully stabbed him in the neck.

Suika also shrunk her body and diverted the gourd that was originally intended to hit Kaido's shoulder to his knee.

However, their attacks, like most others, failed to break through Kaido's abnormal level of defense.

As expected... I've confirmed from the look in his eyes that he's someone I can't beat...

Xie Wen smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling a slight numbness in his palm.

Although he blocked Kaido's attack again and was not injured, if we really compare them, the impact of Mr. Garp's fist bone and the sword attack that Hawkeye used against himself were even stronger.

But the key point is that Kaido is still in his normal form now. He has not used his fruit ability yet and he is not even sober yet.

However, even with this, Xie Wen already felt a little tired. If Kaido went all out, Xie Wen felt that he could only last about three to five minutes at most, and this was while he was taking drugs.

If he brought the cat with him to fight back in the complete form of Monster Hunter, he could have held out a little longer. But in this situation, Xie Wen naturally couldn't fight Kaido to the death, so from the beginning, he didn't think about defeating Kaido. Everything he did now was just to prepare for his escape later...

Thanks to the tradition of the Beasts, Jack and Foz F did not dare to intervene after Kaido took action, but just stood aside and watched, which gave Xie Wen and others the opportunity to take advantage of.

“Admiral!” Taking advantage of Kaido’s moment of retreating, Hua Mei Miao appeared and stabbed him in the abdomen with a sword, “Thunderbolt·One-point Mei Miao!”

"Fire Release·Boom Boom Sparks Meow!"

A red four-leaf clover unfolded in the air, and beams of fire flew towards Kaido and Jack and Foz-Fo who had not taken any action in the distance.

Also flying towards them were dozens of death missiles and countless armed colored bullets.

Hua Meimiao and the others' actions were the signal that had been discussed before, and Xie Wen decisively opened Link Time again.

Monster Hunter Style: Round Dance is fierce and chaotic! Starry sky, moon and earth! Disasters cover the sky!

He used as many of his powerful moves as possible, and attacked both Jack and Foz F at the same time.

"You bastard...be serious!"

Although Kaido didn't know why Xie Wen did this, he was very angry that Xie Wen was distracted by attacking his subordinates while fighting with him.

The furious Kaido switched to human-beast form, then ignored the attacks from the cats and swung the Eight Priestess at Xie Wen.

"Great Weed Thunder Gossip!"

(=`w=)┫く

Link, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his shield and blocked Kaido.

Even though it was a perfect shield counter that had been charged for a long time, the power gap between the little leopard cat and Kaido was still too big, so he was unable to bounce back this move of Great Wade Thunder Bagua.

However, as a move classified as a secret skill by Xie Wen, the defensive effect of the Perfect Shield cannot be underestimated. Although it failed to deflect the attack, it did cause Kaido's Eight Precepts to deflect to the side.

The price was that Linkmeow was knocked straight out, and then was caught in time by Meowjuro, who quickly poured a bottle of recovery medicine into the mouth of the little leopard cat who had almost lost his combat effectiveness.

"boom--!"

The deflected Hachisai Kei smashed heavily on the ground, creating a big pit, and Kaido's body staggered slightly because of being bounced back by the attack.

Monster Hunter Style·Secret Skill·Scarlet Sakura Slash!

Xie Wen seized the opportunity and took advantage of the last bit of Link's time to slash Kaido again.

However, even though the Sakura Slash broke out from within, except for the one Xie Wen slashed at him, it did not leave any other scars on Kaido's body.

"Good job, you guys...eh?"

Kaido, who was beaten up by Xie Wen and the cats, was about to make his usual comments when he felt his hands were suddenly empty.

It turned out that Suika took advantage of the moment when Hachisai Kai landed, rushed up and used her ability to attack it, shrinking it to the size of Kaido's palm, disarming him in another way.

“…Change my weapon back!”

Kaido roared and transformed into a huge blue dragon. He rose into the air and opened his mouth, intending to spit flames at Xie Wen and the others.

"Thunder Release Qilin Meow!"

At this moment, from the sky that had been covered with dark clouds, a huge thunder and lightning unicorn poked its head out and slammed heavily into the blue dragon that had just taken off.

Amid the flashes of lightning, one could vaguely see a horned ape-like shadow in the center of the lightning, and then it punched Kaido's open mouth.

With the combined efforts of the Thunder Kirin and the Golden Lion, Azure Dragon Kaido not only swallowed back the brewing heat, but was also smashed back to the ground.

"C2·Golden Fire Dragon Meow!"

"Yi Jian Mei meow!"

"Flying Cat Mitsurugi Style·Getsuga Tensho Meow!"

"17, 66, 3, launch meow!"

"Fire Bullet, Earth Bullet, meow!"

(((レ(=`w=)

Monster hunting flow·Bad sky collapses!

Xie Wen and his men also took the opportunity to attack Kaido.

The golden lion that knocked down the Azure Dragon kicked its legs and jumped towards Xie Wen and the others.

"Four Trees·Catapult!"

Four huge arms composed of countless arms threw the big guys together at the Toot that was running towards this side in the manner of a catapult, and the Toot opened the outer protective shield in time to catch them.

"Sister Charmi! Klee is here to help, meow!"

The little puppet that fell on the deck quickly rushed into the power room and joined Sharmi.

At the same time, the golden lion suddenly lowered its body, and then jumped high into the air.

"boom--!"

The tail of the Dudu Golden Lion suddenly exploded at the same time as it jumped. With the thrust of the explosion, Dudu rushed into the air at a faster speed.

This is the quick-release device made by Miaoerya that was not used before in Marinford...

In fact, this thing is essentially a one-time push-launch device modified from Klee's push bomb, similar to the Sunshine's wind burst, but it does not require charging, and the propulsion force is much stronger than the wind burst...

After all, the power source comes from Klee.

The "launched" Dudu also quickly transformed in mid-air, and when the thrust was about to disappear and the speed of the ship began to slow down, the claw-like wings on both sides of the Dudu, which had switched to the Sky Comet Dragon form, seamlessly ejected long, electric flames.

Driven by the hybrid power of thunder and fire, the Toot-Too Comet continued to fly into the sky at a speed that was not inferior to, or even faster than, its just explosion. At this time, Kaido was still lying on the ground, shaking his head, obviously not yet recovered from the surprise attack by the Toot-Too.

"Huh... I finally escaped..."

As the Toot Toot took off, Kaido couldn't catch up even if he wanted to, so Xie Wen breathed a sigh of relief. The cats, especially the ones who had just fought with Kaido, also showed expressions of relief.

After actually facing Kaido, Xie Wen and the cats finally had a concrete concept of the title "Four Emperors".

However, just when everyone relaxed, a guy whom Xie Wen did not recognize at all suddenly passed through the outer protective shield, appeared out of thin air on the deck of the Toot-Too Advance, and quickly put his hand on Robin's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them disappeared right under the noses of Xie Wen and the others, just as suddenly as they appeared.
