Chapter 205 Me? To Be King?
Chapter 205 Me? To Be King?
Standing atop the clouds, Luo Ji exuded a sense of oppression.
The wild vines of the wilderness stretched out their claws, binding one after another powerful member of the Mink Tribe.
The mere presence of Yixiao and Daxiong standing silently behind them was already intimidating.
Yamato, Bonnie, and the other women and girls looked curiously at the various shapes and sizes of the Mink Tribe, which included all sorts of animals.
Shirley felt that the genetic inheritance of the Mink Tribe, like that of the Fish-Men and Mermaids, was full of mystery, as they could both reproduce with each other and maintain the species characteristics of various breeds.
"The fact that there is no crossbreeding among so many fur-bearing species is worth investigating."
Vegapunk stroked his chin, a look of inquiry on his face.
"Many humanoid animals."
Xiaoyu suddenly felt a strong urge to further develop her dumpling abilities.
If what Brother Luo Ji said is true, perhaps awakening her abilities could make even this animal-type race obey her.
"Let those guys go!"
Luo Ji ordered Huang Mu to release the Mink Tribe prisoners from the Knights-Errant group.
Now, aside from the two traitorous kings, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, Luo Ji is going to give the entire Mink Tribe a chance to choose.
Under Luo Ji's terrifying Conqueror's Haki, all the Mink Tribe members were terrified and thrown into a panic.
Coupled with the oppressive aura of powerful officials and the captured king...
These fur-bearers dared not make a move.
Luo Ji once again demonstrated his dominance over his master and repeated the judgment and expulsion of the cat and dog kings he had just performed on all the fur tribe.
"Next, I'll give you the choice."
You can follow these two former kings who have sworn allegiance to the Kozuki family and leave Zou Island together.
They can continue to live normally on Zou Island.
But those who remain on Zou Island must obey my arrangements.
Of course, I won't force you to do anything frivolous.
Luo Ji stood on the Thunder Somersault Cloud and loudly announced, then waited for the Mink Tribe to make their own decision.
"What! Zunesha has become this human's partner?"
"Zou Island already belongs to this human?"
"Why did this happen! Why did Zunesha abandon us..."
"Lord Inuarashi and Lord Nekomamushi are retainers of the Kozuki family?"
"Our Wool Kingdom is only allied with Wano Country, so why are our two kings vassals of Wano Country?"
"In that case, wouldn't we become vassals of Wano Country?"
"Actually, I've been unhappy for a long time about the Fluffy Principality being divided into two time zones: day and night!"
My eldest son joined the musketeers, and my youngest son joined the knights-errant. They worked day and night, and not only could they not come home for meals together, they would even fight.
I find the system of two kings utterly unreasonable!
···
A large number of fur-bearers began to discuss the matter heatedly.
Especially for the older generation of the Mink Tribe, it was simply impossible to ask them to leave Zou Island, where their ancestors had lived for generations, to follow Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, two kings who had broken ties with each other!
Hearing the clansmen's comments, Inuarashi felt an unprecedented pain in his heart.
For the sake of his people's peaceful life, he decided to leave Zou Island on his own initiative.
Because he knew he simply couldn't protect so many of his people from surviving on the sea.
He also knew that those human nobles liked to capture fur-bearers as slaves.
Even the most ordinary Mink, one of them is worth over 70 Berries.
“Lord Luo Ji, if you will not destroy the environment and original order of Zou Island like Kaido of the Beasts opened a weapons factory in Wano Country, I am willing to give up the throne and leave Zou Island.”
Inuarashi suddenly shouted that the Mink Tribe could live without him, but they could not live without Zou Island, and they could not live without the protection of Zunesha.
"Inarashi-sama!!"
Sicilian, one of the three musketeers, hurriedly shouted anxiously.
"My lord, we are willing to follow you and set sail together!"
Giovanni and Conslot immediately shouted that they were Inuarashi's subordinates and could not abandon their king and boss.
"No! Our people need you!"
"Anyway, when I'm adventuring in the open sea, it doesn't matter whether I'm on Zou Island or not."
Inuarashi waved his hand, directly refusing the clansmen's offer to follow him. The outer sea was too dangerous, and he would not allow his clansmen to take such risks.
Moreover, besides returning to Wano Country, he could also join the Whitebeard Pirates, so he wasn't worried about having nowhere to go.
"Inuarashi! You piece of trash! Spineless coward! How could you hand over Zou and your people to a human!"
"I would rather die in battle than leave Zou Island in a cowardly manner!"
The cat viper, bound by vines, cursed at Inuarashi.
Back when Kozuki Oden was executed, the escaped cat and dog blamed and argued with each other, and were eventually caught by the Beast Pirates' Numbers. The two escaped Wano Country in a near-death state and returned to Zou Island.
From then on, the two became sworn enemies, and neither would allow the other to become king or ride on their head.
Therefore, they were evenly matched and respectively ruled the day and night of Zou Island.
"Then go and defeat them! You've been beaten to a pulp and you're still acting arrogantly! You're truly unworthy to be the king of the Mink Tribe!"
"You are also incapable of protecting your people on the high seas!"
"If any of your clansmen follow you, it will only bring them to their deaths!"
With red eyes, Inuarashi roared and cursed Nekomamushi, disgusted by the bastard's recklessness, arrogance, and inability to see the situation clearly.
···
Seeing the two kings hurling insults at each other, not only were the elite warriors of the Musketeers and the Knights of Favonius disheartened, but the other mink tribesmen were also disappointed.
Neither king knew how to lead them onto the right path.
So how should they choose?
"What are you doing on Zou Island! Why do you have to drive away the two kings!"
While Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were exchanging insults, a white figure jumped out and loudly questioned Luo Ji.
"Carrot! Come back!"
Wanda rushed out and grabbed Carrot, looking at the imposing human warriors with a panicked expression.
"We are going to establish a research institute here. It will not affect you. On the contrary, it will improve your living standards."
As for why the two kings were deposed and expelled, it was because they were completely loyal to the Kozuki family.
The Kozuki family is more important to them than Zou Island and the Mink Tribe.
So they have to leave!
Upon seeing the little rabbit, Luo Ji surprisingly shed his indifferent demeanor towards cats and dogs and smiled at Carrot.
The atmosphere changed drastically in an instant.
"Are Duke Inuarashi and Nekomamushi loyal to the Kozuki family?"
Carrot was filled with doubt. This was their king; how could he be loyal to someone else? They should be loyal to the Mink Duchy and the Mink Clan.
"Why don't you become the new king of the Mink Tribe? I'll send a few people to teach and assist you."
Luo Ji looked at Carrot and suddenly said something that made all the Mink tribe members drop their jaws in astonishment.
"I?"
Carrot pointed at herself with a blank expression.
She was just a reserve member of the Musketeers, not yet a full member, and her dream was simply to become the 'King Bird,' serving as a messenger between day and night.
I just acted on impulse.
So now this human wants her to be the new queen of the Mink Tribe?
Is this a path to instant success?
She's not an adult yet, and she just ate carrots and hasn't brushed her teeth.
