I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After Xie Wen deflected the giant lava fist, he no longer paid attention to the screaming and roaring Tianlong people, because...

"Dog bites Guren!"

A dog head made of lava opened its mouth and bit towards Xie Wen.

Hunting Skill: Demon Sword Rakshasa!

Monster hunting flow·Fengya tornado!

Xie Wen decisively activated the Rakshasa state of the demon sword and swung Baby-5, which had turned back into the form of a katana, and instantly cut the dog's head into several pieces.

The shattered magma fell on the ground nearby, making a "hissing" sound, and then at Sakaski's call, flew back into his elementalized arm.

"Ha! Long time no see, Sakaski."

Xie Wen greeted Akainu with a playful smile, which formed a sharp contrast with his gloomy face.

"No! Call me like that!"

Sakaski glanced in the direction of the Celestial Dragons, and his already ugly expression became even worse.

Most of the time, Akainu doesn't care about accidental injuries or not. As long as he can eliminate what he believes to be "evil", all sacrifices are valuable in his opinion.

But the Celestial Dragons are different.

It’s not that Sakaski is very loyal to the Celestial Dragons, but he knows that if he offends the Celestial Dragons, it will become very difficult for him to execute his own "justice".

In addition, he was held accountable by the World Government because of Xie Wen, and the position of Marshal that he had hoped to take over fell into the hands of Aokiji...

With new and old grudges, Xie Wen has become Sakaski's most wanted target... and no one else.

"Pluto!"

Whether for public or private reasons, Akainu would never let Xie Wen go, so he didn't waste any time and directly attacked Xie Wen.

"call--"

Xie Wen exhaled a breath, tightly grasped the maid's sword, and rushed towards Akainu.

He had forgotten before that in addition to the Four Emperors like Kaido, admirals like Akainu could also put enough pressure on him.

Dodging Akainu's attack by turning sideways, Xie Wen took a step forward and rushed in front of him. He did not use any Monster Hunter moves, but just used the maid sword covered with Ryuo to perform an ordinary horizontal slash.

However, with the blessing of the demon sword Rakshasa and the demonization, even an ordinary sword strike is powerful enough to make an opponent of Akainu's level treat it with caution.

After using elemental transformation to avoid the knife, Sakaski turned around and punched Xie Wen. Xie Wen leaned over to avoid it, and the katana in his hand stabbed towards Akainu's chin like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Akainu leaned back and barely avoided Xie Wen's stab, but a small cut was made on the duckbill of his military cap.

"Humph!"

Feeling humiliated, Sakaski turned into a lava man and opened his arms to hug Xie Wen.

Natural-type fruits are just so tricky, especially the magma fruit and thunder fruit, which are inherently very harmful. The destructive power of a single move is comparable to other people's special skills.

Xie Wen did not retract the knife he had stabbed out. He slashed down, but was dodged by the gap created by Akainu's observation Haki. However, he continued to pounce on Xie Wen.

So, these natural people are just too shameless!

Xie Wen curled his lips helplessly and chose to retreat.

Akainu was relentless and chased after Xie Wen, continuously ejecting small lava bombs from his body, forcing Xie Wen to keep swinging his sword to block.

But this is obviously not a solution. There is a saying that goes "If you defend for too long, you will lose." What's more, Akainu is a guy with a foul mouth. After gaining the upper hand, he kept mocking.

"Is this what you rely on? If I had known that you were only this capable, I would have ignored Kuzan's dissuasion and killed you, a fool!"

Tsk!

Xie Wen, who had already made plans in his mind, would naturally not lose his judgment because of this level of ridicule, but he was still somewhat unhappy.

Well, based on my current understanding of kendo, it's probably around this level.

After all, he is not a peerless swordsman like Hawkeye. It is too difficult for him to fight Akainu without using cheats and relying only on swordsmanship according to the rules of the pirate world...

No, he actually also activated the Devil Transformation and the Demon Sword Rakshasa...

This thought makes me even more depressed.

In fact, it is not impossible to continue fighting like this. Xie Wen should be able to hold on for a while, but in that case, he must allocate more armament color domineering to protect himself. After all, the lethality of the magma fruit is indeed quite strong.

But in this way, Xie Wen could not guarantee that he could stably maintain the armament color on his weapon.

If it was the fresh sword Shiragi or other famous swords, it wouldn't matter. Even without the protection of Armament Haki, they would be able to withstand the lava for a while. But it's hard to say about the katana that Baby-5 transformed into...

It would be great if Baby-5 could master the Armament Haki. Then Xie Wen would not only no longer need to consume Haki to strengthen his weapon, but he would also have a second "black sword" after "Autumn Water".

So after comprehensive consideration, Xie Wen decisively returned to his most familiar fighting style...

Monster hunting flow·Red meteor!

Xie Wen's sudden burst of speed scared Akainu, but he still avoided the knife with his excellent observation Haki.

However, Xie Wen, who had already let go of the fight, was just like Sakaski just now, launching continuous attacks without showing any mercy.

Monster Hunter Style: Battle of the Gods!

If the Hunter's Dance is a rogue fighting style developed by Xie Wen for a protracted war, then the God of War Banquet is a reckless fighting style that maximizes the characteristics of the assault style.

The maid sword in Xie Wen's hand kept slashing at Sakaski's vital points, forcing him to retreat continuously to defend. The situation between the two sides suddenly reversed.

As a veteran keyboard warrior, Xie Wen of course sprayed back all of Akainu's taunts with interest at the moment of attack and defense...

"No way, no way? I was just a little serious. A great admiral of the navy wouldn't be able to hold on, right? No wonder Aokiji became the admiral of the navy. It seems that you are much weaker than him."

Compared to Akainu's straightforward sarcasm, Xie Wen's sarcasm is obviously more likely to make people angry, not to mention that he also touched upon the issue of the marshal's affiliation, which Sakaski cared about very much.

Then, when Sakaski was considering whether to use his ultimate move regardless of the consequences, he suddenly found that the "voice" of Xie Wen became blurred, and his originally clear perception of sight and hearing also became obscure.

Monster Hunter Style: Empty Soul Possession.

Sakaski, who realized something was wrong, dodged immediately, but was still slightly touched by Xie Wen's sword. A not-so-obvious fine mark appeared on Akainu's chest, and a small amount of magma oozed out.

Although it seemed that Akainu had used elemental transformation to dodge in time, he knew that he had actually been injured by Xie Wen...

Even though it was just a superficial wound that barely scratched the surface and was completely insignificant, it was enough to make Akainu even more angry.

Since it was Saint Mary Joa, and Xie Wen didn't know how he had transferred his attack to the Celestial Dragons, Akainu had been controlling himself from using overly violent attack methods. Aokiji also specifically explained this aspect to him before sending him over.

but……

Akainu had already been provoked to the brink of exploding by Xie Wen's weird attitude, and now he was successfully ambushed by Xie Wen with a strange move. Akainu, who didn't really know how to "hold back", could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart. He controlled his arms, which had completely turned into magma, and swung them fiercely into the sky.

"Meteor volcano!"
