Just as Sherwin engaged the Holy Knights, the CP0 agents also rushed before Robin and the Felynes.
However...
"Don't any of you move! Let me test the latest Guardian models first, meow! Check-it!"
(ゝω)~☆
Purah Meow stopped the Felynes who were about to draw their weapons, then swiftly tossed out Sheikah-style robots equal to the number of CP0 agents. As Suika Meow released the ability affecting them, the Guardians rapidly grew to heights of three to four meters.
"Target identified, target identified. Commencing attack, meow."
The Guardian eyes glowed with red light, locking firmly onto all CP0 agents, including Guernica.
"Hmph! So annoying! No fight for me again, meow!"
(=`н=)
Jinx huffily put away her Pow-Pow Gun. Though she was pouting and quite displeased, she didn't interfere with Purah Meow "new product test."
Initially, the CP0 agents didn't care at all about the pile of "scrap metal" before them, but the result...
"Tempest Kick: Victory Bird!"
"Flying Finger Pistol!"
"Iron Body: Smash!"
The CP agent attacks were powerful, yet they couldn't even touch the Guardian bodies every strike was blocked by a pale blue energy shield.
Furthermore...
"Shoom—Boom!!!"
The lasers that had previously appeared at the racetrack surfaced once more, sending the CP0 group flying in total disarray.
"Isn't that my move?"
Kizaru, who was entangled with Shermie Meow on stage, noticed the lasers appearing in the spectator stands and immediately lost his composure. "In Vegapunk hometown, was there still hidden technology regarding lasers?!"
Due to his good relationship with Vegapunk on Egghead Island, Borsalino naturally knew that Vegapunk had long since replicated his abilities to develop laser cannon technology.
Coupled with the fact that Sherwin and his group had recently visited Karakuri Island, Kizaru naturally made such an inference—and his guess was entirely correct.
"What so great about a laser cannon, meow? I have a similar move too~"
(=ΦωΦ=)σ
Shermie Meow wrinkled her cute little nose, then extended a finger toward Kizaru...
"Super Plasma Cannon, meow!"
Zzt—
A pillar of blue light shot out from the small Norwegian Forest Cat fingertip, passing directly through Borsalino body.
"How scary... I was almost hit..."
Kizaru wiped away some cold sweat, uttering his catchphrase with newfound sincerity.
Had he not been a Glint-Glint Man known for speed, any other Logia user might not have been able to use elementalization in time to dodge Shermie Meow Super Plasma Cannon at this distance.
A bitter smile appeared on Borsalino face. During their last clash at Mary Geoise, he had vaguely experienced what his former enemies felt when facing him this time, that feeling was even deeper.
Yet, Kizaru had to be the one to step up, because aside from a Glint-Glint Man like himself, no one else could keep up with Shermie Meow speed.
However, while he couldn't do much against Shermie Meow, her situation was the same. The deciding factor for these Logia users would still depend on Sakazuki and Aramaki side.
After all...
They are fighting two-on-one!
Err... it should be considered a two-on-one, right?
Borsalino glanced at Klee Meow, who was being protected by Lunastra, Gold Rathian, and Dodo Advance, and thought with a hint of uncertainty.
...
"Mr. Sakazuki, my firebreak forest can't withstand the opponent flames at all..."
Aramaki, who had not yet obtained the title of "Ryokugyu," looked at Akainu with a bitter expression.
As a user of the Woods-Woods Fruit, he naturally understood his own weaknesses, but the moves Aramaki had specifically developed to counter fire were completely useless against Klee Meow flames.
This was only natural. Aramaki fruit ability was countered by Klee Meow, his ability development was not as profound as Klee Meow, and even in terms of personal (cat) talent, the little Ragdoll was far superior to him. There was no way for him to win.
Another major factor affecting Aramaki was...
The ground of Gran Tesoro was primarily gold, and near this stage, there wasn't a speck of soil at all, making it much more difficult for Aramaki to activate his abilities than usual.
"They are nothing more than elemental creations. Support me from the sidelines! Find an opening and strike at that Cat Mink!"
Sakazuki gave a grand wave of his hand, and his already elementalized lower body immediately extended into three giant molten hound heads, snarling at Klee Meow and her summons.
"I understand! Mr. Sakazuki!"
Aramaki obediently retreated to the side, looking at Sakazuki back with eyes full of admiration.
Even though Akainu had failed to become Fleet Admiral and had even lost a leg to Sherwin, Aramaki remained his little fanboy just as in the manga...
Likely because they both believed in the supremacy of power and both recognized the rule of the Celestial Dragons.
"Eh? Is that uncle who can use Wood Style not going to fight Klee anymore, meow?"
(=ω=)
The little Ragdoll blinked her ruby-like eyes and muttered with great regret.
"Hound Crimson Lotus!"
Taking advantage of the moment Klee Meow was distracted, Sakazuki launched an attack without hesitation. The three molten hound heads bit toward Klee Meow from the top, left, and right, forming a triangular formation.
"Awoooo—!" "Roar—!" "Homu!"
The three flame summons surrounding Klee Meow didn't even need the little Ragdoll command they roared and lunged at the three hound heads on their own.
"Forbidden Blood Forest!"
As Akainu little fanboy and a firm believer in the law of the jungle, Aramaki didn't feel there was anything wrong with attacking a little cutie like Klee Meow.
While Klee Meow three summons were occupied by Akainu, Aramaki immediately transformed into a giant treant without hesitation, controlling a mass of roots to coil toward the little Ragdoll.
"Wow! It the Wood Golem Jutsu, meow! Uncle, you really are from the Senju Clan, meow!"
(==)
Facing the giant treant avatar of Aramaki, Klee Meow showed no fear at all instead, her eyes lit up as she cheered.
Then, the little Ragdoll expression turned serious as she quickly pulled a black cloak with red clouds from her small backpack and put it on.
"Take this! Meow-zanoo!"
(=`へ=)
A massive amount of flames erupted from Klee Meow body, forming a giant flaming Felyne no smaller than the treant-form Aramaki, clad in a set of Sinister Seal armor.
"Meow-hahahahaha!"
The voice coming from the mouth of the majestic and overbearing "Meow-zanoo" was Klee Meow adorable, milky voice.
"Uncle Senju! Do you want to dance too, meow?!"
(=`ω=)
"My name is Aramaki! I'm not some enju'!"
Aramaki roared loudly, but his body was much more honest as he halted his steps...
Didn't you see those roots coiling toward Klee Meow being reduced to ashes in an instant by this "Meow-zanoo"? He wasn't stupid enough to charge forward just to be burned!
However, while Aramaki could stop his own steps, he couldn't stop Klee Meow movements.
"Blast Style: Crimson Rolling Great Strike, meow!"
(=＞＜=)
"BOOM——!!!"
