Sherwin knew Klee ow, that little plush doll who loved setting off fireworks, all too well. After her first wave of attacks, the pirates in Reef Town had basically all GG.
Now, this mischievous little one was just taking advantage of the others being tied up with stronger pirates, constantly finding excuses to toss bombs everywhere.
"Ah! There movent over there! That must an so bad guys are still around, ow! C1 · Spark Spider ow!"
With a wave of her tiny paw, several little spiders ford from fire scuttled swiftly into a collapsed building, and then—boom!—they exploded.
This was an idea the plush doll had gotten from Deidara explosive clay, an imitation using her own abilities to create detonation sparks... In truth, she simply wrapped explosives in flas, shaped them into Dodo Bear–like fla puppets, and ordered them to charge out and self-destruct.
She had never really had a chance to test the power of these detonation sparks before, but now that such a perfect opportunity presented itself, Klee ow was naturally going to blow things up to her heart content.
Moreover, the plush doll wasn’t just blowing things up at random. Every place she bombed was carefully chosen based on surrounding materials, the environnt, and the structure of the space.
At the sa ti, the explosives wrapped inside each spark varied and were constantly adjusted.
"Klee found more enemies! C1 · Spark Sparrow ow!"
Another bird ford of flas flew into a leaning clock tower, blasting the huge bell hanging inside into the shape of a blooming flower.
"Ohhh—! Art is an explosion, ow!" Klee ow waved her little paws as all sorts of fla-shaped animals spread through the town under her command. "Boom! Flas! This is so much fun, ow!"
While the plush doll was setting off fireworks all across Reef Town, Reiser and the other remaining "high-ranking" mbers of the pirate alliance were powerless to stop her—because several other cats had them completely tied down.
"Flying Cat Sword Style · Cat Claw Flash ow!"
"Banquet Table Spinning Kick ow!"
Even Haibara ow drew her longsword, clashing against a pirate wielding a rapier.
And none of the cats—like Seijuro ow—were even using Armant Haki. They were deliberately suppressing their strength, trading blows with Reiser and the others evenly...
Part of it was to sharpen their combat skills in real battle. But another part was simply their feline nature... when cats aren’t hungry, they just love to play with their prey.
"D-Damn it! What the hell is with these cats?!"
Reiser, who had already transford into a lizardman, struggled to fend off Seijuro ow swift slashes while shouting at the captain of another pirate crew beside him: "Hughes! Didn’t you say only that bounty hunter was troubleso?!"
"How the hell was I supposed to know what going on?!" Captain Hughes shouted back with a dark face.
"It not like you didn’t read the intel! Up until now, the only one who ever made a move was that bounty hunter nicknad the Hunter!"
Link ow, who was pressing Hughes and his first mate hard, saw that he still dared to get distracted.
His sword strikes grew even faster, and Hughes imdiately shut his mouth, focusing all his strength on blocking Link ow attacks.
"ROAR!!"
Reiser let out a furious bellow, swinging his tail at Seijuro ow as he suddenly turned to flee—completely ignoring the fact that his tail had just been cut clean off by Seijuro ow.
But for soone with the Lizard Fruit ability, losing a tail wasn’t really that big of a deal.
"Looks like you’ve underestimated , ow..."
Seijuro ow narrowed his eyes, activated the Silent Step he had learned from Kuro, and his figure instantly vanished before everyone eyes—only to reappear a mont later right in front of the fleeing Reiser.
"Damn it!"
Reiser imdiately tried to change direction, but just as he turned the corner, his body suddenly lurched against his will. An instant later, searing pain shot through all four of his limbs.
Flying Cat Sword Style · ru Flash.
"Waaaaaahhhhhh—!"
Screaming in agony, Reiser rolled across the ground, his severed limbs spraying blood, but even so, he kept trying to crawl away. As a lizardman, as long as he could escape, his limbs could still grow back.
Unfortunately, Seijuro ow wasn’t going to give him that chance. The little black cat darted over and struck the back of his head hard with the blunt side of the blade, sending Reiser consciousness plunging into darkness in an instant.
Afterward, Seijuro ow even found so rope to tie him up. To keep him from bleeding out and dying, he did a bit of simple bandaging... After all, he was a Devil Fruit user, so they needed to keep him alive and bring him back for Sherwin to try and extract the fruit.
Seeing that Seijuro ow had already dealt with his opponent, the other Felynes no longer held back and began to fight seriously.
Link ow slamd forward with a shield bash, breaking through the defenses of Captain Hughes and his first mate. He spun around right after, unleashing a Whirlwind Slash across their throats, cutting them both down.
"Diable Jambe · Flambage Shot ow!"
Sanji ow body crackled with sparks of electricity. A flurry of electrified kicks took down the enemies in front of him, then he imdiately leapt toward Huai ow opponent.
"Big Sister Huai, I’ll help you, ow!"
But before he could reach her, Huai ow body was already glowing with electricity as well. Entering demon mode, she coated her longsword in a layer of dark energy.
The longsword, which had struggled to make an impact before, now easily pierced through her opponent armor and drove deep into his heart.
"Don’t underestimate too much, Sanji ow. Enemies of this level are sothing I can still handle on my own, ow."
Hua i ow smoothly withdrew her longsword and, with a stylish reverse motion, slid it precisely back into its sheath at her waist.
"Ohhh! Sister Hua i, you’re truly so heroic, ow!"
Sanji ow imdiately switched into praise mode.
"Alright, stop standing around. Tie up those Devil Fruit users, and then we need to go find that little rascal Klee, ow."
Hua i ow covered her mouth with a satisfied smile before continuing, "If we don’t stop that mischievous one soon, this whole island might be in trouble, ow."
(ˇˇ)
Hearing the occasional explosions in the distance and seeing thick smoke rising all around, Link ow nodded in agreent.
So, a whole group of cats set off in a grand rush toward the latest direction of the explosions. But by the ti they arrived near the spot, the blasts had already started coming from another direction, forcing them to change course again, and then...
After changing directions several tis, they still hadn’t managed to catch up to Klee ow.
"That little rascal! She definitely doing this on purpose, ow!" Hua i ow was so angry that she laughed.
If she couldn’t figure out that Klee ow was deliberately evading them by now, she might as well stop calling herself the Scarlet Tiger.
Hua i ow decisively expanded her Observation Haki to its maximum range and imdiately locked onto Klee ow exact location. Without hesitation, she once again led the cats in pursuit.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered Klee ow Observation Haki range, the little ragdoll instantly started running off in another direction. Naturally, Hua i ow and the others quickly gave chase.
Realizing this, Klee ow stubbornly tried changing directions several more tis, but when she saw that Hua i ow group wasn’t shaken off, she resigned herself and ca to a stop...
"Hua i sis~ Have you all finished beating up the bad guys, ow?"
Once they regrouped, Klee ow made the first move, pouncing into Hua i ow arms and acting spoiled. "Klee already checked just now— all the other bad guys have already been dealt with by Klee, ow~"
Seeing the little ragdoll shaless deanor, Hua i ow flicked her forehead with a light knock, scolding, "Stop learning all this nonsense from the Admiral, ow!"
