I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Hurry! Duke Inuarashi and Boss Cat Viper are going to spar with Xie Wen!"

"What?! Are those two planning to join forces?!"

“Hahahaha! We can finally see Cang Lanxing take action! He should be very strong, right?”

Because the cats had often picked fights with the Fur Tribe during this period, the fight between the two sides was not taken seriously by other people, who even called on their friends to come and watch.

after all……

It is very rare to see Inuarashi and Cat Viper, two mortal enemies, joining forces, especially for the young Minks.

In addition, Xie Wen has not fought with other Minks for some time, so although they know that Xie Wen's strength must be good, they are still curious about how powerful he is, to the extent that he can make Inuarashi and Nekomamushi join forces and make those cats prefer not to be the king of Zou but to follow him.

"From your reaction just now, you should know what we are going to do, right?"

After both parties stood still in the open space, Inuarashi said solemnly: "That's right, you know everything about Wano Country so clearly, and there are so many Minks around you, so it's normal for you to know the Moon Lion form of our tribe."

"Stop talking nonsense, old dog! This time we are fighting for the dignity of Lord Oden! Don't hold me back!"

Cat Viper interrupted Inuarashi impatiently, then raised his head to look at the full moon above everyone's heads.

Inuarashi was not angry after being interrupted by him, but instead raised his head as well.

"Are you actually going to use the Moon Lion?!"

The surrounding fur tribes were all shocked.

They originally thought that the two sides were just having a friendly sparring match, but when they saw that Cat Viper and Inuarashi were planning to use Moon Lion right from the start, they knew that it was not just a simple sparring match.

"Moon Lion? Sister Carrot, what is that?"

(=w=)

Klee curiously asked the little rabbit beside her.

"Oh, right. You didn't grow up in Zou, so you may not know that the Moon Lion is the true form of our fur tribe..."

While chewing a carrot, Carrot explained to the cats.

Amid the little rabbit's explanation and the exclamations of the Fur Tribe, Inuarashi and Cat Viper's bodies swelled visibly. Their hair grew rapidly and turned white. Their already sharp nails became even sharper and their eyes turned red.

In addition, the cat and the dog have also undergone significant changes in appearance. Not only has the already ferocious-looking Cat Viper become even more terrifying, but even Inuarashi's appearance has become extremely aggressive, turning from a simple and honest dog into a ferocious white wolf.

“Ohhh! Sister Huamei, look, Uncle Inuarashi and Uncle Nekomamushi look just like Klee, meow!”

(=`=)σ

The little puppet pointed at the two people whose appearance had changed drastically and shouted.

Well... red eyes + light-colored fluffy long hair... If you ignore the ferocious monster-like appearance, it does look quite similar to Klee.

Although the Felynx were a little surprised by the transformation effect displayed by the Moon Lion, they did not take it too seriously.

After all, if the monsters in the Monster Hunter world can't transform into a second stage, you'd be embarrassed to say hello to them, not to mention that there are different forms such as subspecies, rare species, special individuals, overlords, etc.

So the Moon Lion form of the Fur Tribe is just that to cats.

As for the fact that after transforming into a Moon Lion, all abilities will be enhanced, that will not surprise the cats at all...

Are you kidding? Don’t Xie Wen and his team know enough similar explosive skills?

"Red Cat Dance!"

"Inu Daimon-no-Kaze!"

After the transformation, the cat and the dog didn't waste any time and attacked Xie Wen directly. After all, even if they had mastered the Moon Lion skillfully, they couldn't maintain this state forever...

Well, but after obtaining the blessings of "Oden BUFF" and "plot enhancement", it is not certain. Anyway, in the battle of Onigashima in the comics, Xie Wen did not see that the two of them looked tired at all.

Perhaps because it is inconvenient for them to hold weapons after their bodies and claws have grown larger, Cat Viper and Inuarashi are both unarmed, but the lethality of their transformed claws is no less than those famous swords.

Although the best countermeasure for this kind of explosive skill is to use the Hunter's Dance that was developed not long ago to deal with them and make them exhaust themselves.

But this battle involves Kozuki Oden, and it is still unclear whether there are any aftereffects of Moon Lion. Moreover, if we win in this way, they probably won't accept it.

So Xie Wen decisively chose to fight hard.

Isn't it just a burst skill? It's not like I don't know how to do it.

Courage style, on!

Demon-like beast, go!

Monster hunting style, Iai, and random blades are all broken!

Well, after all, it wasn’t a life-and-death battle, so Xie Wen still showed a little mercy.

The same is true for Inuarashi and Nekomaru; although they look murderous, they are actually holding back.

After the two sides fought, Xie Wen did not move at all, but Inuarashi and Cat Viper staggered back two steps.

Although he had a slight advantage, Xie Wen still had a high opinion of Moon Leo.

It has to be said that as the Fur Tribe's most unique skill, the Moon Lion's transformation skill is quite remarkable.

He had seen the strength of Inuarashi and Cat Viper before. According to the evaluation system that Xie Wen created privately, they should be between upper six stars and upper eight stars. If converted into a bounty, it would be 600 to 800 million Baileys...

This is also consistent with the setting in the comics where he is slightly inferior to Jack.

Of course, the bounties in Xie Wen's evaluation system and in the pirate world are not exactly the same thing. After all, the bounties in pirates are sometimes inflated and sometimes underestimated. For example, among pirates with the same 1 billion bounty, Katakuri is much more difficult to deal with than Jack.

If Xie Wen were to make an evaluation, even if Katakuri, with his Observation Haki, has not reached the two-star master level in terms of attack and defense, his overall strength, or difficulty, is very close. Jack has barely touched the threshold of the master level, and if he loses his mind because of madness, he will even be easier to deal with than Inuarashi and Cat Viper.

As for Buggy, who will become one of the Four Emperors in the future and has a bounty of 3 billion, there is no need to mention him. That guy is specifically used to devalue the bounty.

However, Inuarashi and Cat Viper have achieved master-level strength in the Moon Lion form. They are not even as good as Jack, who has just reached the master level, but at least one and a half stars.

but……

This is just right.

An excited smile appeared on Xie Wen's face.

Because according to his evaluation of himself, he is roughly between two and three stars in the Master level. If he bursts out with all his strength, he can barely reach the level of four stars. However, that kind of burst is an abnormal state and cannot be maintained for a long time. Moreover, the sequelae are more serious than those of Moon Leo. Even taking drugs cannot fully recover immediately.

So for Xie Wen, Inuarashi and Cat Viper in the Moon Lion form can be said to be the most evenly matched opponents he has ever encountered.

Since this opportunity is so rare, let’s have a good fight!

Xie Wen stepped forward and swung Shiragi at Inuarashi and Cat Viper who had already stood firm.

Monster hunting flow·Fengya tornado!

The cat and the dog who lost the fight no longer held back and attacked Xie Wen with all their might.

"Oden Itto-style: Inuzanweiya!"

"Oden Itto-ryu·Cat Laughing Clash!"
