### Chapter 65: Transformation! Sulong Form!

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi stared at the full moon in the sky as their bodies began to swell. Their fur turned pure white, and the hair on their heads flowed wildly like a lion's mane.

This was the unique racial talent of the Mink Tribe—the transformation under the moon, known as the **Sulong form**.

The two, now fully transformed, let out excited roars. Their blood-red eyes locked onto Carl, their fangs bared in anticipation.

With a burst of crackling electricity, they vanished.

Carl raised an eyebrow, his grip tightening around Muramasa. With a swift motion, he swung backward, clashing against two electrified claws.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi howled as arcs of electricity danced from their attacks. But Carl remained unfazed. He met their furious assault head-on, effortlessly holding his ground even against their newfound speed and power.

Akainu and Borsalino initially stepped forward to assist, but seeing Carl handle the two with ease, they turned their attention to the heavily wounded Oden.

Laser beams and molten magma rained down. Though struggling to stand on one leg, Oden bounced back and forth in an unorthodox yet effective manner, evading the attacks. His twin swords, coated in Haki, forced Akainu and Borsalino to stay on guard.

Meanwhile, the area around Carl darkened. His **Yami Yami no Mi** ability spread its gravity-infused shadows, limiting Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's movements. Though their Sulong-enhanced speed made them formidable, the pull of the darkness threatened to trap them at any moment.

Carl, however, was growing impatient. His expression darkened, his mood souring since the full moon's rise.

Neither Mink had noticed the faint **red glow** flickering in Carl's eyes.

Their attacks intensified. They lunged once more—Carl stood still.

Swords and claws struck his body at the same time. Yet, just like before, their attacks phased through him.

Landing a short distance away, Nekomamushi let out a frustrated growl.

"Damn it! We used Haki—why can't we hit him?!"

Inuarashi's nose twitched as he exhaled sharply. Their transformation was supposed to grant them overwhelming power, yet Carl remained untouchable.

Their frustration deepened. If they couldn't take down Carl, their lord Oden would never escape the warship.

Carl suddenly slashed forward, sending a black wave of energy at them. Nekomamushi raised his claws to block, while Inuarashi took the opening to charge.

Zzzt!

Inuarashi's blade finally struck Carl's body—but something felt wrong.

Carl's grip tightened around Muramasa, holding back Inuarashi's attack with ease.

Inuarashi's eyes widened in shock.

"H-How is this possible?!"

Carl exhaled slowly. His fingernails darkened, elongating into razor-sharp claws. His head tilted slightly, revealing **blood-red eyes**.

A strange, suffocating pressure filled the air.

Inuarashi felt his strength drain—not because the Sulong transformation was wearing off, but because of something unnatural radiating from Carl.

"You… what did you do?" Inuarashi stammered, his voice unsteady.

Carl said nothing. He lifted his head toward the moon, his red eyes glowing intensely.

**Crack!**

Electricity surged violently through his body. In an instant, Inuarashi's fur burned black, and he collapsed at Carl's feet.

Nekomamushi was stunned.

Minks had an **innate resistance** to electricity—so how had Carl managed to injure Inuarashi like this?!

Ignoring the fallen Mink, Carl stood bathed in the moonlight. His black hair, which had once reached his waist, **turned silver** in an instant, shimmering like liquid moonlight. His figure grew taller, his skin taking on a faint silver glow.

Then—

**Boom!**

A surge of **Conqueror's Haki**, infused with silver lightning, burst from his body. The sheer force sent Inuarashi flying backward.

Nekomamushi rushed to catch him, staggering under the weight. That's when he noticed something terrifying—

**Inuarashi's Sulong transformation had ended.**

The exhaustion that followed a Mink's Sulong form had hit Inuarashi **far too soon**.

But there was something far more **shocking** than that.

Nekomamushi's wide eyes locked onto Carl. His silver hair flowed like celestial fire, and around his body, **a ribbon of pure moonlight swirled**, resembling the flame clouds of an **awakened Zoan Fruit user**.

A chill ran down Nekomamushi's spine.

"This… this can't be…" he whispered.

His voice trembled as realization struck.

"This… this is… the **Moon God form**?!"

The words sent a jolt through Inuarashi's weakened body. He forced his eyes open, and when he saw Carl's transformed state, his blood ran cold.

"T-That's the legendary **Moon God form**… the one only the Mink **Royal Family** can achieve…"

His voice cracked.

"But… he's **human**!"

Carl slowly lifted his gaze, his silver eyes glowing ominously. He raised a single finger toward Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.

As a feline, Nekomamushi's instincts screamed at him—**danger!**

Grabbing Inuarashi, he turned to flee.

But—

**Zzzt!**

A silver bolt of lightning **pierced** through his back.

Nekomamushi froze. He looked down, his chest gaping open from the attack.

His breath hitched. His legs buckled. His eyes rolled back—

**Thud.**

He collapsed, lifeless.

"Nekomamushi!!"

Inuarashi frantically reached for his fallen comrade, shaking him desperately.

But Nekomamushi would never answer again.
