Chapter 447: A Battle that Starts Strong but Ends Weakly

Under the night, three figures were tearing at each other like three whirlwinds.

Amid the endless clash of swords and claws, there were also a few cat howls and dog barks.

This time, Xie Wen rarely took drugs, did not use Link Time to launch a surprise attack, and did not use the empty soul to possess them to ban their observation Haki. Instead, he fought with Inuarashi and Cat Viper in the most conventional way.

Just as he expected, Inuarashi and Cat Viper in the form of Moon Lion joined forces to fight him in the normal state, and even had a slight advantage...

After all, it was one against two. When the gap in strength was not big, the advantage of the more people was naturally greater.

However, since Xie Wen had been studying the skills of grappling recently, and he also had the Mirror Flower Structure to turn the situation around at a critical moment, even if he was at a disadvantage, he did not show any signs of defeat. On the contrary, Inuarashi and Cat Viper, who had been maintaining the Moon Lion, gradually showed signs of fatigue.

It's just...

You two were already panting like this half an hour ago, right? ! How come you didn't get weaker, but fought harder and harder? !

Xie Wen couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart, holding the two's claws with Shiragi again, feeling the increased force coming from it.

"Oden virus" really comes with the buff of sit-ups and battle continuation?

Of course, complaining aside, Xie Wen actually hoped that the two of them could keep going, because while Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were fighting harder and harder, Xie Wen was also making rapid progress.

As expected, just like what the two old men Qingjiao and Garp said, only by fighting with evenly matched opponents can one tap into one's potential to the greatest extent.

In addition to the improvement in strength, Xie Wen also basically figured out what the Ryu-Okura technique of Wano Country is in the battle with the cat and dog in front of him.

To be precise, it should be the Ryu-Okura technique of Oden-Ryu or the Kozuki family.

In fact, when they were in Shimotsuki Village, Xie Wen had asked Koshiro for advice on the entanglement of Armament Haki. However, although the Armament Haki entanglement technique he taught Xie Wen was also very exquisite, it was not much stronger than the ordinary Armament Haki entanglement, and in terms of the difficulty of practice, it was only slightly more complicated than the Armament Haki entanglement.

Judging from Koshiro's personality and his subsequent behavior of giving away his family's practice experience, it seems that he did not keep anything from Xie Wen, so Xie Wen also had some guesses about this. Either Koshiro's branch lost some inheritance after leaving Wano Country, or Oden, or the Ryuo of the Kozuki family is more special...

After all, it is the main line of the five daimyo families, so it is not surprising that they have some hidden skills.

The Armament Haki techniques used by Inuarashi and Neko Viper now also prove Xie Wen's guess. The Ryuo taught to them by Kozuki Oden is indeed different from the one taught to Xie Wen by Koshiro.

To explain in a simpler way...

Ordinary Armament Haki entanglement is equivalent to strengthening your own weapons or fists and feet, and evenly increasing the attributes of strength, attack power, etc. No matter what weapon you use, the enhancement obtained is not much different, and the main feature is omnipotence and versatility.

The Ryuo taught by Koshiro has an additional advantage in enhancing sharp weapons such as swords.

If ordinary Armament Haki entanglement is all-weapon attack +5, then the Ryuo of the Shimotsuki family is sharp weapon attack +7, blunt weapon attack +5, or in other words, his Ryuo has an additional "sharp" feature, and only sharp weapons can get the relevant bonus.

The Ryuo used by Inuarashi and Cat Viper has an additional "defense-breaking" feature on the basis of "sharpness".

As for how this "defense-breaking" came about, in fact, there is no special technique...

It is to combine ordinary Ryuo with the internal destruction technique of Armament Haki, which is very similar to the Armament Haki version of the Eight Punch Punch of Grandpa Qingjiao in principle, and the most is that the combination method is slightly different.

Even in the moves developed by Xie Wen himself, similar techniques are used. However, with this technique alone, it is still impossible to injure Kaido across strengths like in the comics...

At least with the current domineering strength of Inuarashi and Cat Viper, it is impossible, and Xie Wen also has to use a big move to charge, or stack a lot of buffs to barely meet the standard.

Therefore, there is another key thing in the "Oden Style" Ryuo technique, that is - the will poured into it.

That's right, after going around in circles, it finally returned to the path of idealistic kendo.

In other words, Koshiro actually taught this technique to Xie Wen a long time ago, but he couldn't learn it...

In fact, from another perspective, Xie Wen, who has inherited the style system, can also use similar attacks, and as long as he can successfully master the Bushido style in the future, it is not difficult to use the same Ryuo.

It's just that mastering the Bushido style may be a little difficult for Xie Wen...

Well, even if I don't know this trick, I can still hurt Kaido and Big Mom, who has stronger defense.

Xie Wen used the spiritual victory method of Ah Q senior to comfort himself.

Besides, although I can't learn the authentic Ryuo, our cat can learn it!

So...

It's no big deal!

Humph!

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Canglanxing became, and he decisively took his anger out on Inuarashi and Nekomamushi in front of him.

Using the Kagami Kagura to shove the two away again, Xie Wen took advantage of their stiffness to sheath the fresh knife Shiragi and assumed the Iai posture...

Monster Hunter Style Secret Technique Fei Tian Zhong... Eh?

Xie Wen had only pulled out half of his knife when Inuarashi and Cat Viper, who had just been shoved away by him, suddenly returned to their original appearance, and the two fell to the ground like noodles, their eyes closed and their breath weak, obviously because of excessive fatigue and had completely fainted.

"..."

Damn! You fainted at such a good time!

Not only did Xie Wen fail to vent his depression, but he was even more depressed now.

But he couldn't continue to chop at the unconscious Inuarashi and Cat Viper, so he could only push the half-drawn fresh knife Shiragi back with a sullen look on his face.

"Great, so awesome! Duke Inuarashi and Boss Cat Viper joined forces in the Moon Lion form, but they were no match for him! No wonder the newspapers said they had the strength to fight against the Four Emperors!"

Although he failed to give Inuarashi and Cat Viper the final blow, Xie Wen's strength still amazed the fur-bearing people who were watching.

Even this group of guys who like to give away the throne everywhere also set their sights on Xie Wen...

"In fact, short-haired people can also be the king of Zou!"

"..."

Xie Wen, who was already depressed, rolled his eyes after hearing the discussions of the fur-bearing people around him.

"Wow! Brother Xie Wen won, meow!"

(=`=)

After the battle, the little angel Klee rushed into Xie Wen's arms as soon as possible, turning her little head to push around in his arms.

The other Fey cats also came up one after another, chirping and making a fuss around Xie Wen.

Under the healing of the cats, the depression in Xie Wen's heart soon disappeared.

As expected...

The only way to relieve my worries is to play with cats!
