Chapter 600: Lion of the Moon! (2 in 1)

A violent aura was brewing within the bodies of Cat Viper and Inuarashi.

The bright and clear moonlight poured down and shone on everyone. Tsujikuni Yoriichi could clearly see that the color of Cat Viper and Inuarashi's bodies and fur began to change.

These two fur-tribe warriors seemed to be able to absorb the power of the full moon. According to Yunyi's perception, he could sense that the aura of the two was becoming stronger and stronger.

In just a blink of an eye, the strength of their aura had doubled compared to before.

"Interesting ability!"

When Jiguo Yuanyi saw such changes, he did not rush to take action. Instead, he quietly watched the changes happening in the two people's bodies. With the blessing of the transparent world, Yuanyi could clearly see every inch of changes in the two people's bodies.

After a little thought, Yunyi looked up at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Cuckoo-"

There was a slight sound of bones cracking on Yuichiro Tsugikuni's body, but to outsiders it did not seem like there was any change in Yuichiro's body.

Just a dozen seconds later, Jiguo Yuanyi exhaled heavily, spread out his hands and looked at his palms, and whispered softly: "Is it because I am a human?"

"This power."

"That's all."

Tsugukuni Yoshiichi was just imitating the ability of Cat Viper and Inuarashi to absorb the power of the moon. He could confirm that he had succeeded, but the changes that took place in his body did not satisfy Tsugukuni Yoshiichi. Except for his fingernails becoming slightly longer, there were no other changes in his physical appearance.

As for the improvement of physical functions, it is extremely limited. For a strong man of the level of Tsugumi Yuichiro, it is dispensable.

However, unlike Tsugumi Yoriichi, the shapes of Cat Viper and Inuarashi changed at this time. Not only their aura was greatly enhanced, but their bodies also became much larger. Their hair turned silver-white, and glowed in the moonlight, making them look quite gorgeous.

The eyes of both of them had turned bloodshot, and the looks they gave to Tsugakuni Yoriichi revealed a strong sense of oppression.

This is an ability that the Fur Tribe warriors can only master after a long period of hard training.

Leo Moon.

During the full moon, the Minks who have mastered the "Moon Lion" can enhance their combat effectiveness in this way, improving their reaction, physical strength, speed and other abilities.

After transforming into a Moon Lion, the combat effectiveness of the Fur Tribe will skyrocket. Apart from a period of weakness after use, there are no other side effects. It can be regarded as one of the Fur Tribe's innate abilities.

There is no doubt that Cat Viper and Inuarashi are the best among the Mink Tribe warriors.

The violent aura released by the two after transforming into Moon Lions was far superior to that of the other Nine Sheaths. It can be imagined that their fighting power is definitely not comparable to that of other retainers.

"Save Lord Momonosuke!!!"

After completing the transformation, Cat Viper's confidence soared. Even when facing Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, his momentum remained undiminished. After shouting loudly to remind his companions, Cat Viper holding a steel fork took the lead in attacking Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.

The huge body turned into a shadow at this moment, and disappeared behind Ashura Boy in an instant. After the Moon Lion transformation, the cat viper was extremely fast, and even Ashura Boy, who was also a Nine Sheath, still couldn't catch its figure with his eyes.

However, Cat Viper's words reached his ears completely, and without any hesitation, he rushed directly towards the closed door on the first floor of the hotel.

Yoriichi Tsugumi was standing in front of the "window" on the second floor that was blown into a big hole. Ashura Douji had no intention of breaking in from that place and wanted to bypass Yoriichi Tsugumi in this way.

Naturally, Ashura Douji's behavior was also noticed by Yoriichi Tsugakuni, but now he no longer had any interest in Momonosuke and Ashura Douji. The Moon Lion-transformed Fur Tribe warrior aroused some interest in Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

Of course, only a little bit.

The combination of Cat Viper and Inuarashi can crush Jack the Drought, one of the three future disasters. This level of combat power can also relieve the boredom of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

As for Momonosuke
On this island, no matter where Momonosuke escapes to, as long as Tsugakuni Yoriichi wants to capture him, it only takes a little effort.

“Run, run!”

"Momonosuke."

“No matter where you run, the result is the same.”

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't even look at the cat-bellied snake that had turned into a shadow and was flying towards him at a rapid speed. Instead, he slightly turned his head and said this to Momonosuke in the room.

As he spoke, the long sword in Jiguo Yuanyi's hand was lightly raised seemingly casually, and the next moment, a shadow of a gun had already attacked Jiguo Yuanyi in front of him. At the moment the weapons collided, a crisp golden sound rang out in the night sky.

"clang!!!"

The figure of Cat Viper holding a three-pointed spear appeared in front of Tsugakuni Yoriichi at some point, and the spear that attacked Tsugakuni Yoriichi's chest was blocked by the broken knife in Yoriichi's hand.

After warning Momonosuke, Tsugukuni Yoriichi slowly turned his head and looked at the "cat" in front of him with its fur standing on end, with a faint smile on his face:
"Since you two already know that I am Tsugikoku Yoriichi, are you still going to attack me?"

"Or do you think this level of strength can threaten me?"

Yuanyi flipped his wrist and gently released the force of the long sword that was used to attack the cat viper to the left. The cat viper in the air immediately became unstable and smashed directly into the wooden wall below.

"boom!!!"

The figure of the cat viper penetrated into the wooden wall, blasting a big hole. Then, a loud noise came from the hole.

Inuarashi watched as Tsugumi Yoshiichi easily resolved the attack of Cat Viper and at this moment he no longer hesitated. He tightened the long sword in his hand and pounced directly towards Tsugumi Yoshiichi.

This time, Yoriichirō did not wait for Inuarashi's attack, but jumped lightly and jumped directly out of the second-floor window, landing lightly on the open space in the middle of the street.

And just the next moment after Tsugumi Yoshiichi's figure left, Inuarashi's figure appeared at the place where Tsugumi Yoshiichi had just been, and slashed the floor of the room with a knife.

After transforming into Moon Lions, the Fur Tribe seemed unable to completely control this power, and their control over their bodies was greatly weakened.

Whether it was Cat Viper or Inuarashi, the attacks of both gave Tsugikoku Yoshiichi a feeling of overdoing it, and were far from being able to control their attacks freely.

"Your control over your own power is too poor."

"Even after the transformation, is this the limit?"

"If that's the case, I'm a little disappointed. I thought you guys could fully unleash this power."

"If this is the extent of your ability, you are not even qualified to be my companion."

Ji Guoyuan held the long sword horizontally in his hand and said to Cat Viper who had just climbed up from the ground and walked out of the wooden wall, and Cat Viper and Inuarashi who were standing on the second floor and turned around to look at him. His expression looked a little disappointed, as if he was very dissatisfied with the strength of Inuarashi and Cat Viper.

The two Mink Tribe warriors did not say anything in rebuttal. Inuarashi even turned his head slightly, grabbed Momonosuke, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, and threw him into the house.

Coincidentally, Ashura Douji had already reached the second floor, and the moment he pushed open the door, he tacitly hugged Momonosuke who was flying over.

"Lord Momonosuke!"

Ashura Douji caught Momonosuke and a look of joy appeared on his face. Then, without any hesitation, he took Momonosuke and disappeared into the corridor of the hotel.

Tsugakuni Yoriichi was right at the front door of the inn, so Ashura Douji naturally would not take Momonosuke towards the front door. Instead, he lightly climbed over the layers of walls and quickly ran towards the direction of the contact.

At this moment, the tacit understanding between the Nine Sheaths who have been together for a long time allowed them to reduce a lot of communication time.

"Get out of here!"

Seeing Momonosuke being taken away, Inuarashi shouted excitedly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

However, Inuarashi's smile soon froze on his face. At the moment he threw Momonosuke away, Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who was originally in the middle of the street, had disappeared from the spot.

"Big Dog, what are you so happy about?"

A slightly puzzled voice sounded beside Inuarashi. Inuarashi, with a stiff expression, lowered his head slightly and found that Tsugakuni Yoriichi, who should have been several meters away, had actually appeared beside him. He didn't even notice that there was someone beside him until Tsugakuni Yoriichi spoke.

Inuarashi's pupils shrank and his body reacted extremely quickly. He raised the sword in his hand and was about to slash at Jikoku Yoshiichi who was beside him.

However, when the sword was just raised above his head, a sword light flashed directly in front of Inuarashi's eyes.

"laugh--"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's slash instantly landed on Inuarashi's chest, and the speed was much faster than Inuarashi's attack. Inuarashi only felt a pain in his chest, and the hot blood had already splashed on his own face.

The silver-white hair had been dyed red with blood, and the severe pain made Inuarashi take a step back involuntarily. Inuarashi, who realized the injury on his chest, suddenly looked stern, gritted his teeth, and continued to swing the sword towards Tsugumi Yoshiichi.

"Ouch?!"

Yoriichi did not kill Inuarashi. Although he cut his skin and flesh with one blow, this level of injury would not kill him.

I thought the other party would give up, but Yoriichi didn't expect that the will of this Mink warrior was so firm, and his desire to save Momonosuke was so strong that he would attack him even when he was seriously injured.

Such a will also made Yoshiichi Tsugakuni look up to Inuarashi.

"I take back what I said just now. You are qualified to accompany me to relieve my boredom."

The long sword in Yunyi's hand slashed forward again, but this time the target of his attack was not Inuarashi, but the long sword that he was chopping at.

"Om-"

The terrifying domineering aura gathered on the blade of the dagger. At the moment the blades intersected, the long sword that was chopped down was directly cut off by Ji Guoyuan one by one. A piece of the broken blade flew out directly and nailed into the ground more than ten meters away, completely sinking into the ground.

Inuarashi also completed the downward slash with the long sword in hand.
However, his attack did not cause any harm to Yoriichi Tsugakuni. There was a qualitative difference in the strength of their Haki. Inuarashi also used Armament Haki when attacking, and even the weapon in his hand was forged by the best blacksmiths in Wano Country.

But even so, he had no way to confront Tsugakuni Yoshiichi head-on. His level of Armament Haki was simply not enough to protect his weapon.

It was not surprising that the sword was cut off during the fight with Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

However, Inuarashi obviously couldn't accept the reality before him. The slight sound of the sword breaking made him stand there in a daze.

When he had just completed the transformation, the expanding power gave Inuarashi infinite confidence. He even thought that he and Cat Viper could join forces to compete with a man like Tsugikuni Yoriichi. But now the broken sword in his hand was like a bucket of cold water on Inuarashi's head.

It was not until now that he finally realized how naive his thoughts were.

A strong man of Tsugaru Yoshiichi's level is simply not someone that people like them can match.

It's just that it's a little late to face the reality now.

"Inuarashi!!"

Only at this moment did Cat Viper suddenly notice Tsugikoku Yoshiichirō who was beside Inuarashi. Everything happened so fast that he had no time to react at all.

The speed of Yunichirō's movement was simply beyond the reach of Cat Viper's naked eyes, and even his Observation Haki was unable to sense Tsugikuni Yunichirō's aura.

By the time Cat Viper saw the figure of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, Inuarashi had already suffered a great loss at the hands of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

Even when facing a strong enemy like Tsugumi Yuichiro, Cat Viper did not hesitate at all. He jumped up with a gun in his hand, and then stabbed Tsugumi Yuichiro with the weapon in his hand.

Just as Yoriichi was about to raise his knife to block, the Cat Viper that had rushed in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni suddenly loosened the gun in his hand, let out a loud roar, and waved its claws, slapping directly at Yoriichi Tsugakuni's body.

"Oden Itto-ryu·Cat Laughing Clash!"

Cat Viper shouted the meaningless names of his moves, as if this method could make his moves more powerful. The two names of Oden seemed to be able to bring extra bonuses to his body, and his fearless look was also reflected in the eyes of Yoshiichi Tsugikuni.

The cat's viper's claws were electrified, and dots of blue electricity flickered through the hair on his wrists.

Compared with the previous attacks, this attack was more powerful. Yunyi did not dodge or evade, but stood still. At the moment the attack hit his body, Yunyi's chest and abdomen suddenly turned into golden flames and flew away.

The golden flames splashed out and instantly illuminated the room.

The cat viper, who had succeeded in his attack, widened his eyes at this moment, full of disbelief.

He thought his feint had fooled Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

But who would have thought that even with all his strength, he couldn't even touch the entity of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

devil fruit ability
The three words "ability user" flashed through Cat Viper's mind, and before he could change his moves, Yuanyi quickly slashed out with the long sword in his hand.

Cat Viper flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. Blood flowed out of his chest, staining the blue bricks of the street red.
