Chapter 401: Nekomamushi And Inuarashi Will Duel
Under the collective witness of the mink tribe on Zou Island, the white bear Bepo became the new king of the Mokomo Dukedom and received the title of Duke Bepo.
This scene made both Penguin and Shachi very excited. Seeing their stupid bear become the king of a country, they felt like their child had grown up. Even Law was very happy.
The four brothers came out of North Blue, and now their revenge has been successful. If they want devil fruit abilities, they have advanced devil fruit abilities. Even Bepo, a shy and dumb bear, has become the king of an island.
All this is thanks to Basire's help.
After the handover of the king's throne, Duke Inuarashi became a thing of the past. He now serves as the captain of the Musketeers, and Shishilian, the former captain, serves as the vice-captain.
The same goes for the Guardians, with Pedro voluntarily demoting himself and making Nekomamushi the leader.
After Bepo became the new king, he found that there seemed to be nothing to deal with in the Mokomo Dukedom.
After all, this is just a small island that is isolated from the world. There are not many disputes. In fact, it is almost the same as a town on the sea.
Without the day-and-night divide and rule system, the mink tribe no longer had to make a fuss over the personal grudges between Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.
Now Zou Island has returned to its original harmonious life. Apart from guarding against foreign invasions and the full moon transformation time every month, there is almost nothing to do.
After Bepo became the king, Nekomamushi was not qualified to stop Basire and Nico Robin from copying the historical text in the Road Poneglyph.
Robin also quickly copied and translated the historical text, and also took some photos.
Then, Basire can use this Road Poneglyph text to continue to make other transactions with Charlotte Linlin.
Under the instructions of Basire, the king Bepo announced that he would select the first 20 tribesmen to go to sea and let the minks voluntarily sign up to participate.
The ones who pass the test can follow Basire's Ark Maxim and go to Hachinosu Island to experience the wonderful adventurous life.
Bepo also delegated most of his power to the Guardians and Musketeers, allowing them to continue to manage Zou Island together. Anyway, Bepo would continue to go to sea and would not stay on Zou forever.
After hearing the news, those among the mink tribe who were eager to go to sea went crazy and excitedly signed up with Bepo.
The 20 quotas are simply not enough for them, making the competition fierce.
Basire wanted this effect. If he took too many people for the first time, it might arouse the mink tribe's wariness and make them think that he had bad intentions.
Having a group of 20 minks can allow them to take care of each other on the sea, and they can also become a good fighting force, and they can 'work' for Basire.
Seeing that so many tribesmen wanted to go to sea, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Pedro were worried but also felt the same way. They thought that they were not like these tribesmen who were eager to go to sea and see the outside world.
Most of the minks on Zou Island have visited the entire country before they were ten years old and are familiar with almost every place.
Of course, some of the adventurous and restless ones are eager to see the outside world and don't want to live such a dull life day after day.
But Inuarashi and the others know that although the sea is wonderful it is also dangerous, and they hope that these people will not perish out there.
When Basire saw that the main things he needed to do when he came to Zou had been completed, he began to pay attention to the giant elephant, as well as Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.
But it is a pity that Basire hasn't awakened the voice of all things, so he couldn't communicate with the elephant and it continued to walk day after day.
However, after the national celebration the next day, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi had a drinking fight, and Inuarashi kept teasing the cat mink about the fact that he had his hand broken by Bepo.
This made Nekomamushi angrily arrange a fight with Inuarashi, and they will duel again in a couple days.
After drinking so much, Inuarashi did not give up and agreed to the fight with Nekomamushi.
Anyway, the two of them have fought countless times in the past ten years.
Under Basire's suggestion, they first conducted an audition competition for 20 people, and then let the battle between Nekomamushi and Inuarashi be the finale of the exciting battle.
The mink tribe elites of the Guardians and the Musketeers also cheered and shouted, looking forward to this wonderful battle.
In fact, if their new king hadn't asked the top brass of the Guardians and Musketeers to manage the island, they would have signed up to go out to sea for a while as well.
They have no choice but to wait for the first group of tribesmen who go out to sea to come back, and when the second group goes to sea, they can sign up to experience the wonders and dangers of the sea.
After the national banquet on the second day, those who signed up were gearing up to fight and snatch a chance to go to sea for themselves.
After all, there is a golden airship going directly to the sea this time, which is much safer than taking the risk of climbing down the elephant's back.
Usually when they want to go to sea, they have to climb down from the elephant's legs first, and continuously observe the sea areas where the elephant passes by for more than ten days.
When they see that they are close to certain islands, they go directly to the sea, leave the elephant's legs, and swim towards the island, find a boat or make a boat themselves.
Otherwise, if they go out to sea rashly, they will get lost in the vast sea and eventually drown or be eaten by sea animals.
When Bepo was climbing down the elephant's legs to learn how to observe the sea and islands, he accidentally fell into the sea and became lost.
···
The third day.
An exciting moment has arrived for the entire Zou Island. More than one to two hundred minks who have signed up to go to sea have to duel to determine the final list of twenty people that will go out to sea.
The white rabbit Carrot and dog mink Wanda are both elites of the Musketeers and members of the Kingsbird. They originally joined the Musketeers and the Kingsbird team based on their strength.
They are also elites who can skillfully control the Sulong transformation, so they quickly obtained two of the twenty places.
Other elites also successfully obtained the qualifications to go to sea.
The remaining places are also obtained by tribesmen who can barely control the Sulong transformation.
This is equivalent to turning a large number of elites from the mink tribe into workers for Basire.
Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Pedro were a little helpless, but they couldn't stop their tribesmen's enthusiasm to go to sea.
And this time the airship is indeed safer than them going directly to sea without a ship.
After the list of people was confirmed, it was finally the turn of Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, the two former kings, to have a wonderful duel.
Seeing the two people on the duel ring, Basire showed a faint smile.
If their huge influence among the mink tribe cannot be used by him, then Basire can only clean up these two retainers of the Kozuki family.
Otherwise, if they go out to sea and discover that Whitebeard and Marco were killed by him, they may cause quite a bit of trouble.
As for Pedro and other minks, they have nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates, and they don't know anyone from that pirate crew.
