Miu - 23
The cowboy in the clothing store suddenly shrunk in size, shapeshifting into a little kitten with grey fur across her back and tail and snow-white fur on her underbelly and paws. “Meow!” She mewled with pride.
“W-WHAT!?” The employer of the store was flabbergasted at what he had just witnessed, rubbing his eyes and wondering if he his age was starting to get to him. He could have sworn there was a man standing there just a moment ago, but now that man had turned into a kitten with the cutest of mews.
Perched be the front window, the feline observed the scene of fireballs raining down from above, and upon watching the helpless little humans panicking, she burst out a maniacal, high-pitched, cute-yet-evil laughter, “Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
Watching the Tengu doing a hilarious dance to dodge and avoid each ball of flames was amusing to no end. And watching the bounty hunters falling off their horses and rolling around in the dirt brought her a sense of victory against her hunters.
What foolish little humans, thinking they could have hunt her to begin with. She, who strived to be the King of all Cats, the strongest kitty in the world, wasn’t someone that humans could just hunt. As an aspiring apex predator, she was the one who does the hunting. These bounty hunters had underestimated her for appearing so small and innocent, thinking that she was an easy catch for a large amount of money. But no more, she shall show them all what it means to be hunted down as mere playthings.
Quite intelligently so, Gen had taken cover under a horse. Miu was not one who wished harm upon such majestic creatures who have been treated as mere vehicles by these arrogant humans.
But when the Tengu yelled out about him surrendering, the feline widened her eyes in shock, “WHAT!?” She was heartbroken! How could her toy mouse give up so easily? Gen was so passionate about playing hide-and-seek with her back when they were at the bar. What happened? Why was he giving up so early in the game?
By the time the kitten leaped out of the clothing store, she saw the Tengu screaming out his farewells to this island as he dashed away on a stolen horse.
“Mmm,” Miu sagaciously rubbed a long white imaginary beard with a paw.
The screaming hunters, who were rolling on the ground, had extinguished the flames caught onto their clothing through suffocating the fire with dirt and coverage. As through their excessive panting, their eyes widened in shock at the appearance of a cat.
“Koneko Miu!?”
“Hm?” The feline momentarily shifted her attention away from her runaway prey and towards these cowboys and cowgirls. “Greetings, little mice.”
“Who ya callin’ little mice, you little kitten?” A cowboy snarled.
“Ha-ha-ha! All you humans are so small; you’re practically mice to me,” Miu made a remark that would seem to make no sense to these hunters. After all, it was her that was the small one here.
However, for all her disguises, she had never revealed her true form to them. Perhaps it was time, she showed her complete transformation. This whole kitten-disguise was merely a form she took on to appear harmless. Suddenly, the grey-and-white kitten began to grow. First, she grew to the size of a bobcat where her tail stretched out longer and forked into two. Then, she continued to grow to the size of a tiger. Then, she grew to the size of an adult human, and even then, she grew beyond that. Mystical blue flames cloaked her body entirely, hiding the true colors of her fur. Beefy arms of pure, raw muscles accentuated her form. Her long whip-like tails were each thicker than a human torso. Large yellow eyes glared out as savage fangs bared out in the open.
The four bounty hunters felt her heart sink as a shadow was casted over them; they were dwarfed in size as the two-tailed, flaming cat had doubled their height at least just be standing on all four paws.
One-hundred-forty million Beri bounty, they began to understand where they number was coming from. This monstrous form of a cat was a complete abomination, a creature that could not exist in this world on its own. Unbeknownst to them, this was the result of a subclassification known as a Mythical-Zoan Devil Fruit.
“Heh-Heh-Heh!” The giant cat snickered before lowering her head towards the ground with her back arched. Her legs were compressed like a spring before suddenly, she pounced!
Dozens of meters were covered as the two-tailed feline swept through the air with a powerful leap. The people of Whiskey Town were in turmoil at the sight of such a monstrous beast roaming the street. With each landing, the ground itself shook as several tons of mass crashed down.Despite its sheer size, the Bakeneko was also agile as she propelled herself into the distance, gradually catching up to the red-face horseback rider.
“Hey Gen! Where do you think you’re going!?”
Each of Miu’s tail was as long as her body itself, but the blue flames around her tails suddenly jetted past the tip like blowtorches, extending their reach. Flicking her tails further, the pair of blowtorch-like flames extended in length like whips coming down from above over the Tengu’s head.
Tail Torch!
