The Mink Tribe's Calamity

It wasn't long before wave after wave of pirates completed their landing, and when they saw the new and strange world of this elephant's back, the very different civilizations, they were all amazed.

"Look! What's that? Forests, gates, countries, so are this a civilization that exists on the back of an elephant?"

"It's amazing that it's a country that's never been discovered!"

"Wait, those seem to be minks! The minks that are extremely rare in the outside world, but here they're looking all over the place!"

"It looks like all those minks on the ocean are from this country, right?"

"That's an unexpected bonus, though the low price for the common minks in the black market is no more than 700,000 berries, nowhere near as sought after as the Giants or Mermaids."

"However, things like rabbit girls, catgirls, and fox girls can fetch extremely high prices on the black market, especially those world noble Celestial Dragons, who are crazy about rare minks."

"If we can knock this place down and farm those minks in captivity ..."

Although what appeared before these pirates was a country and a civilization, they still did not attempt to hide their covetousness for the minks, as if they saw this country filled with aliens as just a piece of fat on the chopping block.

It's not surprising.

If all the pirates in paradise were still plundering towns, the pirates in the New World have evolved to the level of plundering countries, making it necessary for those countries in the New World to fly the flag of a great pirate if they want to live in peace.

So, naturally, these pirates would not take the district of an unenlightened and barbaric country into their eyes.

Soon, they organized forces to launch an attack on this country.

...

Mokomo Dukedom, in a tree house.

"Momonosuke-sama, I never thought ... that I'd have the day to meet you. I'm so excited!" A large orange dog said, wiping tears from his eyes.

"Inuarashi, it's wonderful that you're still alive. Oto-sama has been so worried about the safety of you and Nekomamushi, and he would be so relieved to know that you are all safely back in Zou." Momonosuke said happily.

"I'm grateful for Oden-sama's consideration. Nekomamushi and I are fine. It is a shame to say that as retainers, we are not only unable to protect our lord, but instead, we have to be sent out by Oden-sama at the risk of our own lives, which is a shame for the value that Oden-sama has placed on us." Duke Inuarashi had spent a considerable amount of time in Wano Country, and after meeting Momonosuke, he habitually used the tone of Wano.

"It's not your fault. Oto-sama said that he was the one who was sorry for involving you in the struggle in the country of Wano. When we were in Wano Country, Oto-sama even brought up the fact that he wanted to apologize to you in person from time to time." Putting aside his lustfulness, Momonosuke was quite good at the court, and with some rhetoric, he soon moved Duke Inuarashi to tears.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Duke Inuarashi pounded the ground vigorously and wailed, "Oden-sama ... Oden-sama, he is really ..."

Just then, there was a restless noise from outside.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The solemn voice resounded through the sky, and Duke Inuarashi, who was wiping his tears, changed dramatically, "No good, it's the bell of enemy attack!"

"The bell hasn't rung for years, so why would it suddenly ring today?"

Momonosuke looked terrified, sitting on the ground with his torso leaning back and his small hands propped back, unable to move backward until he leaned against the wall and then frantically shouted as if he had found support, "It's them, it's them who've found us!"

Seeing Duke Inuarashi looking, Kin'emon explained, "I'm sorry, Inuarashi, this may have caused you a lot of trouble, but there are many pirates out there looking for Momonosuke-sama, and we had no choice but to come to Zou for help."

Kanjuro knocked his head to the ground with a loud thud, "Although this is an obscene request, please be sure to guard the safety of Momonosuke-sama, please."

Duke Inuarashi's eyes widened in anger, "What do you mean, are you looking down on me, Inuarashi? The Mink Tribe and the Kozuki Clan have guarded each other for generations, and Nekomamushi and I are even retainers of Oden-sama, so isn't it only right to guard such things as Momonosuke-sama?"

"So be it, Shishilian." Duke Inuarashi called out, and soon the lion mink, dressed as musketeers, appeared outside the door.

"Duke-sama!"

"Shishilian, you send Momonosuke-sama and Kin'emon and the others to Nekomamushi, and I'll go lead the citizens against the enemy-woof."

Kin'emon stood up sharply, "Inuarashi, no! I'm a samurai of Wano Country. How can I let others protect me? You guard the safety of Momonosuke-sama, that is, and I will have Kanjuro draw a fake Momonosuke-sama out of it, and then I will lead it away from the enemy!"

Kanjuro's eyes were bulging. Kin'emon, are you serious? Are you sure my drawing of Momonosuke-sama can fool those pirates?

But considering the sacrifices Duke Inuarashi made, he wisely kept his mouth shut, and indeed, this was a matter for them and his nation, so how could Duke Inuarashi be left to bear the burden alone.

However, Duke Inuarashi shook his head and said, "Kin'emon, now is not the time to be a hero. Everything is about the safety of Momonosuke-sama. If Momonosuke-sama is attacked and killed on his way to the Whale Forest, will you be able to carry this responsibility?"

"The moment you boarded the island, this has been more than just a war between you and the pirates."

"It's normal that you didn't follow Oden-sama to the sea and didn't know, but Nekomamushi and I have seen with our own eyes the madness and greed of those pirates, and now that they have discovered this unexplored miracle land, they will never choose to stop."

"There should be quite a few of those pirates who have shifted their target from you to the Mink Tribe. Therefore, even if you go to distract the enemy, it won't be of much use. The only way to calm this storm is for those pirates to see the strength of the Mink Tribe and realize that we Mink Tribe aren't weaklings who are at their mercy."

"This ..." Kin'emon and Kanjuro looked at each other and bowed their heads in shame, "I'm so sorry, we had no idea that the act of asking for help would bring such a terrible disaster to the Mink Tribe!"

"Don't worry. There are no weaklings in this country. All of us minks are natural-born warriors. Even babies have the skills to defend themselves. The pirates in this country can't pose much of a threat to us!" Duke Inuarashi was proud of his words.

"Again, you are charged with the responsibility of defending Momonosuke-sama, and at no time should you get carried away, so leave those pirates ... to me to get rid of them!"

Hint: we can raise a few days, extend until Friday to see. On the one hand, Momo is estimated to have to die on Thursday and Friday, worrying about everyone these days to see unpleasant. On the other hand, it is also the probability of Friday shelves. There will continue to be a few waves of the outbreak. (◕ˇ∀ˇ◕)
