"I never imagined that the Princess of the Alabasta Kingdom would be a member of an underground organization." Kaku looked at the woman before him warily and said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed and implicating Alabasta?"

"In fact, I am no different from you as your enemy."

Vivi sighed and said, "But I have no choice, especially now that I've been exposed to you. I can't let you leave alive."

Were you coerced?

Kaku softened his tone and said gently, "As long as you don't stop me, I promise you I won't report your affairs. Kill him, and you'll be free."

"Don't you understand the crux of the problem?"

Vivi stared at Kaku and said, "You can't kill him at all. Don't even talk about him. If he makes a move, you won't be able to escape."

Kaku was about to escape using a shave technique. He was very fast, and Xia Qiu couldn't catch up with him before he entered the water.

However, he cannot use Geppo to cross the sea, and it is estimated that he will not be able to hold out for long before entering the sea.

Unable to use Shave in the sea, and with power halved, how could one possibly escape the pursuit of a Giant Beast?

Therefore, Kaku is doomed.

If Vivi really does something, the whole of Alabasta will suffer.

"So."

Vivi said coldly, "I cannot let you leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly threw out a small tornado with her left hand, which was behind her back.

Wow.

A small tornado expanded rapidly, engulfing the surrounding space, and the wind grew stronger and stronger.

"This is?"

Kaku saw the Sand Gale take shape and dared not stay. With a tap of his foot, he disappeared.

"Trying to run?"

Vivi snorted coldly, and her entire body exploded, transforming into massive sand blades that slashed in all directions.

Just as Kaku was about to leap past Vivi, a sand blade came hurtling towards him.

"Tekkai".

Kaku dared not meet the attack head-on; his body suddenly hardened as the sand blades struck him, shattering his clothes and landing on him.

Zzz.

Sand Blade couldn't break through his defenses, but it restricted his body.

Meanwhile, the distant tornado expanded, engulfing Kaku. The wind grew stronger and stronger, the ground cracked, and the sand in the dust storm cut into Kaku's body.

Vivi took this opportunity to regain her form, then grabbed Kaku with one left hand while continuing to cultivate the Sand Gale with the other.

"I can't let her touch me."

Kaku saw Vivi's outstretched hand; she knew she could withstand the Sandstorm, yet she continued to attack him.

This proves that the attack caused significant damage to oneself.

Kaku instantly released the Tekkai and used Shave to retreat into the distance, dodging Vivi's hand. But in an instant, his clothes were shredded, and the sand blades in the Sandstorm only grazed his body, leaving bloody cuts on his skin.

Tempest Kick.

Kaku immediately used his Tempest Kick to shatter several sand blades, but more sand blades came flying in.

"Paper Arts".

Kaku sensed the airflow, and his body suddenly felt light and airy as he moved against it.

The sand blades rotate with the airflow, allowing Kaku to dodge them before being hit.

Moreover, as the airflow shifted, Kaku's figure moved away from the outer edge of the tornado.

But at that moment, Vivi threw out another Sand Gale with her other hand. The Sand Gale, blocking Kaku's path.

Then Vivi's legs transformed into Sandstorm as she lunged towards Kaku, instantly taking flight before unleashing a flurry of blows with both hands.

Two sand blades struck Kaku's figure.

clang.

The moment Kaku was hit, he turned into Tekkai and fell straight to the ground.

The sand blades struck him but failed to penetrate, and the sandstorm's winds could not harm him in the slightest.

Vivi lunged at Kaku and pressed her right hand against Kaku head.

As long as there is water in your body, I can drain all the moisture from your body and turn you into a dried corpse.

But in that instant, Kaku's right hand suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot. He used Paper Arts again to enter the airflow and dodge Vivi and Sand's attacks.

Vivi lunged at Kaku again, Kaku used Shave to dodge her. In the instant he dodged, sand blades attacked from his left and right. He immediately switched to Paper Arts to avoid the Sandstorm.

However, because he could only dodge by following the airflow, and there were many sand blades in the Sand Gale, he was trapped in the Sandstorm and could not leave.

Vivi was slower, which restricted his movement, but she couldn't touch him at all.

It is fast, has high defense, and is agile in dodging.

Mr0 told himself that the opponent was very fast, so he prepared in advance and ambushed the opponent.

Even so, he still couldn't keep up with the other person's movements.

A powerful fruit, a weak self.

This made Vivi realize her shortcomings, and as time went on, her physical strength was rapidly depleted, and her speed became slower and slower.

But at that moment, Kaku approached the edge of the sandstorm, raised his legs, kicked out two Rankyaku that pierced through the two sand blades, and then lunged forward.

Pfft.

Two thin sand blades pierced through his body, leaving a wound on his back and a bloody gash on his left arm. At the same time, he appeared outside the Sandstorm and staggered after landing.

Vivi pounced directly at him, her right hand transforming into a blade as she stabbed towards his head.

Kaku lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the distance to dodge the attack, then landed slowly.

But the moment it landed, a huge tentacle came straight at it.

How could that be?

Kaku immediately activated Tekkai in an attempt to block the tentacles.

Bang.

The tentacle slammed into his body, the immense force sending him flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

"What immense power."

Kaku was somewhat taken aback; he hadn't expected the power to be so immense, and most importantly, the hardness to be so high.

It didn't feel like he'd been struck by a tentacle; it felt more like he'd been hit by a giant club made of steel.

Combined with its immense power, it was simply impossible to resist.

He was sent flying backward, trying to regain his balance, but Vivi pounced on him from behind, her left hand wielding a sand blade aimed at his head.

Sensing a strong gust of wind behind him, Kaku immediately lowered his head and curled up into a ball.

Bang.

Kaku bumped into Vivi, but instead of turning into sand as expected, he touched a solid object.

Um?

There wasn't time to change?

Why?

What was special about this collision?

Kaku didn't have time to analyze. In that instant, Kaku suddenly turned around and pointed a finger, directly piercing the part of Vivi's back that was in contact with his own.

Pfft.

Kaku's fingers pierced Vivi's abdomen and penetrated her body.

But the next moment, a tentacle lashed out at him again.

"Not good."

Kaku tried to dodge, but his body suddenly sank as Vivi grabbed his arm, preventing him from leaving.

Tekkai.

Kaku used the Tekkai at the last moment.

Bang.

The wrist struck Kaku's legs, and with a crack, both of Kaku's legs broke, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Swoosh.

Xia Qiu's wrist and foot struck again, aiming for Kaku's back.

Faced with this attack, Kaku flipped over and placed his hands in front of him to Tekkai.

Click.

Kaku's arms were broken, his chest was hit by a huge force, and he coughed up blood.

Vivi staggered over to him, raised her right hand, and pressed it against Kaku's head.

Although he can use Tekkai, he doesn't actually turn into iron; his body still contains blood and water.

Jabura is the only one who can move while in his Tekkai form, by accelerating the flow of blood in his veins.

Human skin also contains a large number of capillaries and water.

If Vivi touches him, she can suck him dry.

"Stop."

Xia Qiu's voice rang out, Vivi placed her hand on Kaku's head, but did not use her ability.

"He is still useful; we need him to live."

Xia Qiu's voice came through, indicating that he needed Xia Qiu to be alive and reveal the cultivation method for the Six Powers.

"I see."

Vivi sighed, slowly backed away and sat down on the ground, blood streaming from her abdomen. She clutched her stomach, her face pale.

"But you did a good job."

Xia Qiu gave her an approving look. She had done a great job by cooperating with him in the fight despite her own injuries.

Moreover, after this battle, she should be able to recognize her shortcomings, and hopefully she can continue to improve.
