Tsai knew red was capable of withstanding some of the hardest blows and even with Tsai's amount of strength he was able to push through the pain and counter Tsai's attack, although his kick did hit it's intended target. Red would latch on to Tsai spin him and then drive the man into the ground. With Red's size compared to Tsai, this was nothing for the larger man to overpower and send the blond crashing into the ground. Tsai knew from experience if you or your opponent falls to the ground, the battle could be over in an instance. He was reluctant to use his fruit abilities, but it seemed red was pushing him into the direction of using them from the jump. The force of the attack wasn't enough to cause much damage, but it would leave a large bruise on his back in the days to come. Tsai would go on to use the Nikyu Nikyu Transmission ability to violently push the air underneath his body, allowing Tsai to seemingly disappear from the point of contact and reappear in the air above red. The violent burst of air propelled Tsai 10ft into the air, he would then use red's head as leverage and push himself higher into the air, while adding force to the jump off in an attempt to push red to his knees.

" You sly gecko, you planned on me using my fruit from the start didn't you? Well, If you think you can survive without going papa lizard on me then lets give it a go" Tsai said after doing a black flip in the air, then landing about 15ft away from red. He made sure to make a good bit of distance between him and his teammate, before he would continue his assault. He smiled at red, shaking his head and pulling off the long black gloves that concealed the Paw print shapes engraved on his palm. He once again felt into a fighting stance and looked at red, wondering how he abilities would affect the boy's body. He was larger than most and could take a hit, however Tsai's powers were like red's and uniquely strong despite their rank. The blond would calm his breathing and yet against launch himself from the ground, this time not into air but instead along the ground, rushing towards red. He neglected to utilize the paw paw transmission as that was one of the techs that caused a toll on his body, and even the one usage had caused aches in his body.

Once Tsai was in range, aimed two opened palmed strikes to red's stomach yet again, there were nothing special about the strikes despite Tsai's above average strength from his training. Tsai was at a disadvantage because of his size, however because of Red's size it was easier for Tsai to land more hits on his gut, which Tsai had begin his assault on. The blonde was planning to weaken Red's body to the point of even his normal attack hurt the youngster. Tsai would then try to move out of the way, after his assault in attempt to curb a counter attack from happening, if this would be successful, the blonde would end up on the right side of red, readying himself for his next attack.
