I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After getting to know the residents of the Fur Tribe, everyone's enthusiasm finally subsided a little, but there were still many Fur Tribe members who wanted to come over.

At this time, Wanda came over. She first persuaded those enthusiastic and curious fur tribes to leave, and then said to Xie Wen and the others: "Everyone, please follow me. The Duke wants to see you."

"The Duke? The ruler of Zou?"

Robin's eyes lit up. The buildings in Zou looked very old. She was planning to study them carefully. She could find the ruler here to learn about the history of the Furry Principality. It would be even better if there were relevant historical documents.

But Xie Wen frowned.

Of course he knew who the "Duke" Wanda was referring to - Duke Inuarashi, one of the two current kings of the Furry Principality, as well as a retainer of Kozuki Oden and one of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Under the excellent matching mechanism of the pirate world, neither Inuarashi, whom they are about to meet now, nor Cat Viper, who is in charge of the night, can be regarded as a qualified ruler.

Being a retainer of Kozuki Oden was actually nothing. After all, that was before they became the king of the Furry Principality. And from the later plot, there was a deep connection between the Furry Tribe and the Kozuki Clan, and Zou had always been a follower.

In addition, in order to conceal Raizo's whereabouts, the entire country's Mink Tribe chose loyalty without any complaints, so in this regard, Xie Wen didn't think there was anything to blame Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

At most, these two people are rather blindly loyal. When they encounter an unreliable boss and an equally unreliable young master, they choose to follow without hesitation.

What really made Xie Wen think that they were unqualified was the breakup between Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

If they were just retainers, it would not be a big deal if they went their separate ways after their lord died. However, after becoming king, the two of them were still arguing with each other, and even forcibly changed the entire schedule of the Furry Principality. This was extremely irresponsible.

Division, especially division without equal rights, is one of the worst situations for a country.

Even if they were like Aokiji and Akainu, deciding the winner and letting one of them become king, it would be much better than the current weird situation.

That is to say, Zou has been in seclusion for many years and does not need to carry out any diplomatic activities. In addition, in the Furry Principality, the position of king is not as high and mighty as in other countries. In essence, it is more like a village committee. Therefore, no particularly bad situation has occurred in Zou.

But if we continue to follow the original world line, when Jack attacks in the future, Zou will be in great trouble...

Whether it was Inuarashi or Cat Viper, they could fight back and forth with Jack when they were not in the Moon Lion state. If the two of them joined forces, they would have been able to repel him long ago. However, in the comics, due to the split between cats and dogs, this battle that should have been a joint effort to fight against foreign enemies turned into a round-robin battle, which eventually led to the almost annihilation of the Minks.

But unlike in Fishman Island, Xie Wen did not intend to tell Inuarashi and Cat Viper what to do. On the one hand, the two of them were too stubborn and impossible to persuade. On the other hand, Xie Wen was disgusted with Inuarashi and Cat Viper because they were infected with the "Kozuki Oden Virus".

Anyway, Caesar is dead now, and neither the poison gas bomb nor the SMILE fruit will appear again. Even if Jack attacks Zou in the future because of the convergence of the world line, they can still deal with it even if they don't reconcile.

What's more, Xie Wen and the others couldn't just sit there and watch Zou being attacked by Jack. At worst, they could just bring the cats to help when the time comes.

……

Under Wanda's leadership, Xie Wen and the others soon arrived at Inuarashi's office...

Hmm? Is he, the king, actually doing his job well?

Xie Wen was a little surprised when he saw Inuarashi, who was concentrating on writing something at the desk.

"Hello, welcome to Zou."

Inuarashi was wearing a European duke-style outfit and a pair of blue sunglasses on his face. He looked quite gentlemanly... if his tongue wasn't sticking out all the time.

In addition, before the "Oden Virus" broke out, he was actually a very gentle furry creature.

After putting down the quill in his hand, Inuarashi nodded to Xie Wen and the others in a friendly manner, and then said: "I am Inuarashi, one of the kings of the Furry Principality. You can tell me what you need, and I will try my best to meet your needs."

"One of the kings? There are many kings here, meow?"

(=w=)

Huiyuan Miao asked curiously.

"Yes, the Furry Principality is a country ruled by two kings." Wanda explained: "Although the official king is Duke Inuarashi, Boss Cat Viper, who is responsible for protecting the 'Whale Forest', also has the same rights."

"Is the other king also a cat? Where is he? Klee didn't seem to see him meow."

(=w=)

The little puppet immediately asked after hearing the name of Cat Viper.

"Because the relationship between the two kings... is very bad, so bad that they can't avoid a fight when they meet, so they divided their schedules into 'sunrise 6 am to 6 pm', and 'moonrise 6 pm to 6 am'." Wanda continued to explain: "Duke Inuarashi is the 'King of the Day' who rules over Zou during the day, and Boss Cat Viper is the 'King of the Night' who rules over the night."

"Uh...it's a miracle that your country hasn't finished playing yet, meow."

As Xie Wen's substitute, Huibara Cat complained very rudely.

Inuarashi smiled bitterly, without further explanation, he just shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about that guy called Cat Something. Although he doesn't get along with me, he is still very friendly to others. So even at night, that guy and his group of knights will treat you well just like we do."

"You can't even be bothered to say the other person's name? Uncle, are you a child?" Even Meowx couldn't help but start complaining, "Even Klee wouldn't have such a bad temper, meow!"

"That's it!"

(=`=)

After nodding her head several times, the little fool Klee finally reacted...

“Sister Jinx, what do you mean? Klee wouldn’t deliberately not say someone’s name just because she’s angry!”

"That's right, isn't that what I meant just now, meow?"

╮(=ΦwΦ=)╭

Meowx spread out his little paws and took the lead.

“Yeah… but something seems to be wrong… Eh? Klee doesn’t understand, meow…”

(=@Д@=)

The little doll covered his increasingly confused head, and his eyes began to spin in circles.

"Don't tease Klee at a time like this..."

Xie Wen tapped Meowx's head gently, then rubbed the doll's dizzy head and said, "Our Klee is a good child. She certainly won't be like these two idiots who are still quarreling like children at their old age."

"Don't be rude to Duke Inuarashi!" Wanda shouted at the side, "There must be some special reason for the feud between him and Boss Cat Viper!"

"No, actually he's not wrong..." Inuarashi, who was scolded, was not angry at all, but nodded in approval, "The conflict between me and that cat was actually two incompetent guys shirking and evading each other after failure."

Compared to the hot-tempered Cat Viper, the calmer Inuarashi actually knew the nature of their quarrel, but...

"Even so, there is no way I can forgive that stupid cat!"

Inuarashi, who had always been amiable, now showed a fierce look.

Xie Wen: "..."

Sure enough, for a guy like this who has been infected with the "Oden virus", only someone related to Kozuki Oden can persuade him...

What the hell is this meme contagion!

Originally, Xie Wen wanted to learn from Inuarashi and Nekomamushi what was so special about Wano Country's Ryuo. Even with their strength that they couldn't even beat Jack, they could actually use it to injure Kaido.

But now... Xie Wen suddenly felt a little scared of this inexplicable "Oden virus". He decided to find a way to learn from other people in Wano Country in the future.

Inuarashi grinned for a while, but soon recovered. He didn't seem to want to discuss this issue anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something else I want to ask you..."

His expression gradually became serious.

"The newspaper said that you had fought Kaido before. Can you tell me in detail what happened?"
