Kapitel 122: I refuse

Ian right now was walking towards the gate to zou from the city inside.

The sword that he had taken out and stored for the first day was finally out once again, hanging from his waist. Walking by his side stood his whole crew.

Bert as ready as can be as he impatiently kept clicking his sword by closing and opening it from the sheath.

Stella with her daggers at her side. Elene with her guns and Robin didn't need any weapon.

2 days had already passed and since had managed to understand his current power more with the help of his crew.

Due to his high mind power, he was able to master his ability to read surface thoughts in a quick fashion.

This way he was not going to be using it subconsciously at all.

In these two days, his crew did nothing but enjoy the banquets the mink were throwing for them.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi both were quite busy in their respective parts of the day. They found their doctor and told him about the information about the lunar pill. It turned out he was able to make the drug quite easily.

Just like Bert had said since the recipe was quite simple.

The two rulers didn't like each other, but they knew when to put their differences aside. They had even met once to discuss about Bert.

However, they were not able to train any new mink person in these two days. As it was mainly left for the production of the drug.

So they settled for giving the first batch of pills for the two direct forces under the rulers. The guardians and the Inuarashi musketeers. As they were the ones trained the most in their sulong form.

Why was Ian and co-heading to the gate?

That would be because earlier Ian had felt the presence he was waiting for to come for a while now.

The beast pirates.

The moment he felt them at the legs of zou, he had sought out the two rulers. Yes. The two rulers. This was one of those times they would have to work together.

He had informed them of the presence of the beast pirates. He didn't say they invading or anything. Except that the beast pirates under Kaido were here. Meaning trouble.

After all, even now, the minks had still tried to hide Raizo from Ian. Unsuccessfully of course. But still, they tried.

So he didn't want them to know he knew about Wano and their situation.

Anyways, he informed them individually, and they had both assembled their forces and made for the forest in front of the gates.

They were not going to let him reach the city and destroy it or anything of the like. Unlike in Ian's last life.

And Ian, since he was here, he was going there right now to help. He was delayed because he had to inform his crew.

When they reached the gates, the beast pirates had already climbed up and he didn't manage to see how they did it.

Still, it was not that interesting of a subject for him to keep thinking about it.

The moment he and his crew reached the place, they casually jumped to the gate and sat there calmly watching the proceedings. Still, no one was able to detect them, courtesy of Ian.

He casually surveyed his surroundings and noticed some details.

First of all, the minks had hidden themselves with the exception of Inuarashi and his two guards, Shishilian and Wanda.

Nekomamushi himself had hidden with the rest. By the look of it, however, no beast pirate including jack was able to notice them.

Ian could detect them easily, however.

Second of all was that Jack was not yet transformed into his elephant form. But his expression became bloodthirsty the moment he saw the minks.

Ian knew what that look meant. He was planning to attack them and torture them regardless of anything.

The third thing was that Ian felt Jack's strength to be on par with either Inuarashi or Nekomamushi. So without a transformation, they wouldn't win. Of course, neither would they lose.

Inuarashi stepped up a few steps forward before calmly stopping as he felt he was near enough.

His people had already discreetly warned the regular minks to be on alert. They wouldn't use them in battle of course, but by no means were they just normal people. If it reached the point where they had to fight, they would not shy from it.

"What do you need from this country, Jack 'the Drought'?" Inuarashi calmly questioned.

Jack's eyes loomed over the ruler of day.

Ian was amused as he saw the rage contained deep within.

'What is it with this guy?' he was questioning his sanity inside his head. There was no reason to be this furious all the time…

"Give him to us now!" Jack spoke up.

Perplexing everyone there.

"Give you who?" Inuarashi too was perplexed, but he still inquired calmly.

Jack growled in rage.

"Don't play stupid with me!" He yelled out. His voice spreading out in the surrounding.

"I know you have a warrior from the land of Wano named Raizo in here! Bring him out now!" Jack continued his yelling.

Meanwhile, Inuarashi, and the hidden Nekomamushi, narrowed their eyes from their places.

'A traitor…' both of them had the same thought. First of all without a vivre card they wouldn't be able to find Zou. And then the information that Raizo was at their country was only between them and Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Momo…

"Raizo you say? I don't know anyone by that name." Inuarashi spoke up.

"However, if you want to search the country for such a person, you are free to do so, so long as you don't cause any destruction."

He added.

But Jack was a brutal destruction loving bastard. He was not about to agree to anything done peacefully.

He refused to do such a thing as a search. Instead, he'll torture them until they finally speak up the truth. After all, he knew for a fact that Raizo was here.

As such with a yell he started to transform.

And in just a few seconds, Jack was replaced with a giant mammoth immense in size and strength.

Jack, as the mammoth, raised his trunk to the sky before he yelled:

"I refuse" And then, with a whooshing sound, its trunk swung at Inuarashi.
