Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Pedro and the others were confused at this time. They had only heard the sound of fighting in this area and thought that maybe Garrot had encountered trouble and came to check it out. However, they never thought that the people coming towards them were actually a group of people from the ancient race, and at this moment they were fleeing in panic while being chased by three young boys and girls?

What surprised and alarmed them was that the boy with nine tails was the rumored nine-tailed fox? The culprit of the red moon night?

And there was that man who was wrapped in black and whose real face could not be seen. He exuded a dangerous aura, which was stronger than any other man they had seen before!

Pedro swallowed unconsciously. As the leader, he naturally had to take responsibility, so he asked,

"Who...are you? Are you from outside Zou?

What is your purpose here?

...Also, have you seen a fur tribe member that looks like a rabbit? She is our companion..."

Hearing this, the three Yamatos who had stopped fighting could not help but look at the little rabbit sleeping in Yakumo Shiro's arms.

"If we talk about the rabbits we met, it should be only this stupid rabbit, right?"

Runti muttered softly.

"We did meet him! But I think you can prepare some carrots first, because this little rabbit is starving!"

Yakumo Bai squatted down and gently placed the little white rabbit on the ground. With a flash of light, a curled up Carrot reappeared in front of them.

"Gallot!"

Seeing this, Wanda shouted in surprise, then rushed to Carrot to check on the girl's condition.

"Hey! What did you do to Carrot? Why did she become like that?"

Constant (a member of the fox tribe), whose face had been gloomy upon seeing Yakumo Shiro, immediately questioned.

"Huh? The Fox Fur Tribe..."

Yakumo Shiro looked at this guy who could be called a fellow tribesman with some surprise. He understood why he was so emotional. After all, the hero of their tribe was imprisoned because of him...

"It's nothing, actually. That's my fruit ability. I changed into that form just now just to make it easier for me to keep her by my side.

You know, in order to feed this little rabbit, I worked so hard to pick carrots everywhere to feed her, I can't just ignore it like this."

Yakumo Shiro made up stories with a calm face, not caring about Constant's glare, and not saying a word about Yamato stealing the other's carrots. Anyway, as long as she woke up and brought out a basket, the little rabbit would forget everything.

"Constant! Calm down! Garrot just fell asleep, nothing serious."

After taking a closer look at the handsome face of Yakumo Shiro, who seemed to be radiating light, Wanda said with a sense of relief.

"Hoohoo~~Carrot~My carrot~~"

And Carrot also uttered a few murmurs in his sleep at the right time, which just proved that what Yakumo Bai said was true.

Hearing this, Pedro and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. To them, Gallot was like a sister. If something really happened to her, they would definitely regret it!

"Now that the matter has been explained, please allow me to interject a question. Fur tribe members, is this how you treat guests who come from afar?

Instead of the most basic welcoming ceremony, I let this guy speak rudely to me?"

Yakumo Shiro pointed at Constant and said playfully, while Yamato and the other two stared at each other with a menacing attitude, and it seemed that they were ready to rush up and teach this rude guy a lesson in the next second.

"you!!"

Hearing this, Constant could no longer suppress his anger and wanted to rush forward to deal with this "disaster star", but was stopped by Pedro.

"Constant! Calm down! Don't let your anger get the better of you! We can't afford to cause any more trouble at this juncture!"

Then, Pedro turned to look at Yakumo Shiro and said solemnly,

"I don't know how and why you chose this time to return to Zou, but please excuse us. Zou doesn't welcome outsiders right now!"

"Because of the ancient race you mentioned? The Minks are now facing a life-or-death situation?"

Yakumo Shiro smiled indifferently and continued,

"As a member of the Mink Tribe, how about letting me lend a hand? In exchange, after the war is won, I will take Yaoye away, and you must obey my orders unconditionally."

"What a joke! Do you have the capital to do that? And you're still negotiating with us!" Constant said disdainfully.

"Your helper? I wonder where your confidence comes from?" Giovanni narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin behind Yakumo Bai, as if he had some guesses.

"Of course it's the power outside of Zou! You don't think Zou can resolve the current conflicts and confrontations from within, do you?

With all due respect, this is not possible at this point in time.”

Although they had just arrived in Zou not long ago and didn't know much about the so-called ancient race, this did not prevent Yakumo Shiro from pretending to have a deep understanding of the situation in Zou. As long as the other party believed that he did have strong capital, the conversation could continue, and they would take their conditions to heart and think carefully.

In short, this is nothing but a bluff, putting both sides on an equal footing. What's more, his "momentum" is real, the "momentum" of the name "Kaido of Beasts".

Under the gaze of Wanda and the others, Pedro thought for a long time, and then he said as if he had made up his mind.

"If what you said is true, then follow me and go see the clan leader! Cooperation with forces other than Zou... This matter should be decided by Lady Cindy!"

------------

Not long after, after enduring looks of disgust, fear, curiosity, or admiration along the way, Yakumo Shiro passed through the village where the Minks lived. In a corner of the village, he met the current chief of the Minks - an old but still majestic and burly Lion Mink.

“…That’s it. In order to establish Wano Country, Kozuki Oden cooperated with our Beasts Pirates to carry out large-scale construction and development in various parts of Wano Country. Now, it has made preliminary connections with overseas countries, and people’s lives are thriving.

It's just a pity that... none of us could have imagined that Kurozumi Orochi had such evil ambitions. After using unknown means to control Kozuki Sukiyaki and pass the position of shogun to himself, he launched a series of conspiracies against Kozuki Oden!

Although we also wanted to help this partner, Kozuki Oden refused us on the grounds that "Wano Country's affairs should be handled by Wano Country itself"...

We had hoped that Kozuki Oden would win the battle, but unfortunately, except for Toki and his daughter whom I secretly saved, the Kozuki clan was completely extinct, and Nekomaru and Inuarashi, who were retainers, also died on the battlefield fighting for their lord...

When I was alive, I had a deep friendship with Cat Viper and his friends. It is no exaggeration to say that we were close friends, relatives, and brothers. Therefore, after learning about my wishes, they gave me this life card, and I was able to arrive in Zou smoothly because of this..."

In a large conference room, Yakumo Shiro spoke with a sad and regretful look on his face, and at the same time sadly returned the life card in his hand to Cindy, the leader of the Fur Tribe.

Pedro and others who were watching on the side were shocked. They really didn't expect that such a tragedy would happen in the distant country of Wano.

"I understand your intention. I'm sorry for Nekomamushi and Inuarashi...

The Kozuki clan has done us a favor, so we will not sit idly by. However, the Zou clan is also in trouble now, and those ancient races should not be underestimated...

Do you really have a way to help us solve our predicament? The Nine-Tailed Fox from ten years ago?"

Cindy looked at Yakumo Bai with a serious face. No matter how much of a "disaster star" the other party was once considered, the top priority now was still the issue of the survival of the Mink Tribe. Therefore, any power was worth fighting for!

"Of course, I've said it before. If we can't solve it internally, we'll seek help from outside. We, the Beasts Pirates, are willing to provide such help. But before that, regardless of how the Minks...

I have to rescue Yaoye first! She has already sacrificed enough for me!"
