Chapter 30

Accompanied by a massive tiger's roar, a saber-toothed tiger with scarlet wings materialized out of thin air.

The saber-toothed tiger's four sharp claws gripped the sides of the warship, and with a flap of its wings, it carried the vessel soaring into the high sky.

Pekoms looked on with immense envy: "The Mythical Zoan type is so convenient!"

Luo Xing comforted him: "Little Peke, one day you will be able to do it too."

Pekoms wore a look of deep emotion.

Very quickly.

The group arrived at the back of the Elephant, and what met their eyes was a lush, green forest.

In the forest, countless humanoid creatures covered in fur walked back and forth.

"So that is the Mink Tribe, truly a novel species!"

With a deafening boom.

Luo Xing led the Tobiroppo and fifty warriors of the Gifters army, descending upon Zou.

The terrifying aura immediately drew the attention of all the Minks.

When they saw the Beasts Pirates flag on the warship, their pupils contracted sharply one by one.

"It's Kaido of the Beasts' ship!"

"Kaido's subordinates have come to attack Zou!"

"Hurry and summon the two kings, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi!"

"It's too late; the Beasts Pirates have already attacked!"

"Do not fear; there are fewer than sixty of them, while every single one of us Minks is an elite warrior!"

The battle began almost instantly.

The Mink soldiers, baring their teeth and claws crackling with arcs of electricity, charged toward Luo Xing's side.

"What a bunch of monkeys who don't know when they're dead! Daring to compare their ferocity with our Beasts Pirates!"

The saber-toothed tiger transformed from Fuga's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

Had not the Imperial Son-in-Law given orders beforehand, he would have rushed down to slaughter them to his heart's content.

Luo Xing's voice spoke at this moment:

"Make your move. I distributed the Momotaro rice balls to you long ago. Your objective is to stuff the rice balls into the Minks' mouths; do not harm their lives unless absolutely necessary."

"As you command!"

Pekoms and the others, who had already been itching for a fight, respectfully accepted the order and then eagerly rushed down from the warship.

Although they could not kill, they could at least work out their muscles.

In an instant,

the fierce cries of battle pierced the clouds.

Although the Beasts Pirates were few in number, each member could fight ten, and the Tobiroppo were even capable of fighting a hundred.

Therefore,

the Beasts Pirates immediately seized an overwhelming advantage.

Furthermore, after they used the Momotaro rice balls, the Mink members who had just been enemies immediately defected and became extremely obedient.

This bizarre scene left Pedro, the leader of the Heart Pirates, staring in shock, utterly unable to believe his own eyes.

"What on earth is going on?!"

Just as they were bewildered, a thunderous shout suddenly came from above:

"It is the effect of that strange rice ball; absolutely do not eat that thing!"

Boom!

Two massive figures plummeted down, precisely Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who had hurriedly arrived.

"That strange rice ball was also invented by you, specifically to deal with us Minks, isn't it, Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing!"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi immediately glared fiercely at Luo Xing on the warship.

Luo Xing crossed his arms over his chest and smiled: "Correct answer, but unfortunately there is no reward."

"Bastard!"

Inuarashi gritted his teeth and roared in anger:

"There has been no news from Kanjuro for so many days; is that also all your doing!"

Luo Xing did not respond this time, too lazy to answer.

But this posture, in the eyes of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, was already an admission.

The two grew even more furious, nearly going mad.

"I'm going to kill you!"

The two disregarded the other Mink clansmen entirely and charged straight at Luo Xing.

"Hey, you two remnants of the Kozuki family, do you think we Tobiroppo don't exist?"

A fierce tiger and two great dragons blocked the path before Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

The fierce tiger was naturally Fuga, and the great dragons were the siblings Run and Pekoms.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi did not halt their movement even an inch, raised the swords in their hands, and shouted in rage:

"If it were the Three Calamities, that would be one thing, but mere Tobiroppo dare to block us!"

The cat and dog were the longest-serving subordinates of Kozuki Oden, having served on both Whitebeard's and Roger's ships; undoubtedly, they possessed strength on the level of the Three Calamities.

It was just that their information was somewhat outdated; they did not know that the strength of the Tobiroppo nowadays was far beyond what it used to be.

"You seek death!"

Fuga and the other two, displaying anger at being underestimated, launched a fierce attack.

Boom!

The two sides collided.

In the next moment, a scene appeared that left Pedro and all the Mink Tribe members utterly horrified.

The two strongest kings of their fluffy kingdom, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, were unable to match their opponents; they spat blood and were knocked flying, crashing hard onto the ground hundreds of meters away!

33. Rabbit-Eared Girl Carrot

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi coughed up great gouts of blood, feeling as though their bones were about to scatter.

The two climbed out of the large crater, exchanged a glance, and both saw the disbelief in the other's eyes.

How could the three Tobiroppo on the opposite side be so strong?!

Through years of correspondence with Kozuki, they had already learned the approximate strength of Kaido's subordinates.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi considered themselves on par with the Three Beasts and capable of easily defeating the Tobiroppo.

But the collision just now shattered their past understanding completely.

Could it be that, since Lord Oden's death, they had grown weak from not fighting for over a decade?

"No, it is not that we have grown weak, but that the enemy has grown stronger!"

Inuarashi stated with certainty, pointing at Foxy:

"Did you see the wings behind that man? He is clearly a Sabertooth Tiger form user; how could he have wings? Obviously, his Devil Fruit ability has evolved!"

"Kozuki's previous letter mentioned that the Beast Pirates' Imperial Son-in-Law had developed a strange human cell that could greatly increase a person's strength; this must be the reason!"

Zou had no contact with information from the outside world.

Therefore, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi did not know that the strange human cells had already caused a huge uproar across the seas.

Even a Tiger-level strange human cell had been speculated at a sky-high price of one billion Berries!

However, through Kozuki's previous letters, they had finally guessed the truth.

And the truth left them despairing.

"Little cats and dogs, open your mouths obediently and submit to our Beast Pirates!"

Foxy, flapping his crimson wings, looked down from above and sneered.

"Dream on!"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were loyal dogs of Kozuki Oden; getting them to defect was basically impossible.

The battle resumed.

Under the assault of Foxy, Ulti, and Page One, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were soon severely injured and in grave peril.

"Still not opening your mouths?"

But the two were tough men; they clamped their teeth shut tightly and refused to open their mouths to eat the Momotaro rice balls, which made Foxy quite furious.

On the warship.
