Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

New Word.

...

...

The giant bear with a wig stood in front of thousands of animals after his challenge was declared to all, while his body continued to emit electricity.

"Hey, is this guy serious?!" the Minks murmured, looking at Bepo with various expressions.

There was disbelief, anger, curiosity, caution, and fear among the entire race, watching that polar bear enter his Sulong form with sheer willpower, something they wouldn't have believed if someone had told them. Yet, there, before their eyes, it was happening exactly as they saw it.

"Hey, don't underestimate me, you fool!" Inuarashi, the Master of the Day, exclaimed, dissatisfied with the type of challenge that had been made by this Mink. After all, it was inadmissible for someone to want to challenge his entire race as if underestimating them like no one had ever done in their life.

Bepo didn't even care, while using his Sulong form. "Come all at once, that way it'll be fairer..." He spoke arrogantly.

"How can he do this?" Some Minks murmured still in disbelief.

"He wants to challenge all of us? Since when has there been such a powerful Mink? He's just trying to show off. He can't be that strong, I'm sure the leaders will fight him and defeat him," others murmured.

At that moment, Nekomamushi, the Master of the Night, stepped forward. "Leave it to me, I will face him and defeat him!" He spoke arrogantly.

"Hey, you may rule the night, but it's morning now! Leave him to me, you idiot!" Inuarashi spoke with arrogance and anger.

"Don't be foolish, let me defeat him! After that, I'll go to sleep while you handle the rest," Nekomamushi said with an arrogant tone, believing he could easily deal with Bepo even in his Sulong form.

As he approached Bepo, "Come then, polar bear, I challenge you." He approached Bepo with a challenging tone.

But, in the next moment, as he stopped in front of Bepo waiting for him to attack, a giant paw was in front of him, mixed with electricity and Armament Haki. Nekomamushi barely had time to react, crossing his arms to defend himself, but his body was shot backward in the next instant, being thrown back into the crowd.

Everyone watched in shock, trying to get away before the Master of the Night crashed into one of the structures at the entrance of the city, near the crowd.

The explosion reverberated through the area, while a silence took over, and everyone turned to look at Bepo, who had thrown one of the strongest of the tribe so easily. Even the Master of the Day was left with his mouth open in shock.

"This guy... Is he serious and wanted to fight all of us?" Inuarashi murmured, realizing that it might be unfair to have the entire race fight against just one, but now understanding that perhaps he could defeat them.

"Prepare for battle, everyone!" he exclaimed, as all the Minks prepared to fight as best they could in the next moment.

"That's good... I like the look in your eyes..." Bepo, wanting to prove his strength, saw all the Minks starting to prepare to face him there.

Then the Straw Hat bear charged violently, taking the initiative. "Come on, everyone!" he shouted, advancing with such determination that everyone took a step back, clearing space, while only Inuarashi remained to try to stop the beast.

In the next moment, both collided with each other as Inuarashi, much smaller in size, tried to stop Bepo from advancing, trying to push him back. Both fought in a contest of strength, each trying to overpower the other.

But quickly, the Master of the Day realized he was being dragged back, and under everyone's gaze, he was sent flying, crashing into another building at high speed.

"Did... both rulers get thrown like that...?" The Minks looked on with a gaze of fear.

"Don't let him subdue us!!" Pedro, a lion Mink, exclaimed as he drew his sword and charged at Bepo, and everyone quickly followed suit, trying to stop him.

"Yes, we can't let Pedro be left behind! We must follow him and defeat him too!" The other Minks, encouraged by Pedro's courage, quickly charged as well, showing their fists, claws, and weapons they carried.

Quickly, numerous Minks joined Pedro, charging into battle as the air above Bepo filled with them, ready to face the Sulong Mink.

Bepo prepared himself as all the strongest Minks, just below the rulers, advanced toward him, small in comparison to his size as well.

"Very well..." Bepo calmly looked at them, waiting for them to make their moves. They launched several attacks at him, as he put one hand in front, and numerous explosions began. His hand disappeared, and all the attacks were stopped with a hand covered in Haki, even Pedro couldn't surpass his defense, his sword stuck in Bepo's arm.

Bepo then made his move, quickly swinging his arm, striking them, grabbing some and throwing them back as he captured the first wave of enemies.

Some managed to escape as their comrades fell to the ground around them. "Let's go!!" They were determined, trying to attack him again. But even when they got past his defense, his Sulong form provided too much resistance, and he easily endured the blows as if receiving some kind of massage.

"Can we not defeat this Mink?!" That was the thought of everyone.

"Prepare yourselves!!" Pedro exclaimed as he saw Bepo preparing a move.

However, the Straw Hat bear simply vanished from the spot, reappearing near the others who barely had time to react before they were struck down in the next moment.

Bepo stood atop more than 100 fallen Minks, defeated on the ground, even Pedro and many others were among them.

Those who were distant, watching from afar, retreated when they saw Bepo standing over their most powerful warriors, fear in their eyes.

"Should we face him?" They asked themselves with a bit of discouragement.

Bepo stood still, seeing only the weak, not moving to fight against those who had no spirit before him.

BOOOOM! 

BOOOOM! 

At that moment, two explosions occurred at the entrance of the city, as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi emerged from the destroyed buildings, advancing with a determined look toward Bepo, surrounded by Pedro and the others fallen at his feet.

"No, don't underestimate him!" Nekomamushi said, determined, as they advanced calmly. Bepo stood still, watching them with a satisfied look.

"Come on!" Bepo said with a firm gaze, and in the next moment, the two advanced to face him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!! 

Both sides charged at each other as an explosion of Armament Haki swept through the area.

The other three members of the Straw Hat crew could only watch them fighting from a distance, as none of them would get involved in this fight.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to wait..." Alvida murmured, looking off into the distance and seeing the battle unfold.

"Certainly, the Minks are a warrior race. I've never seen Bepo enter this state on his own, so I'm impressed, as I've rarely seen anyone enter this state in my lifetime. The captain will surely have great power if he can get the entire race into Sulong form like this..." Jinbei commented.

"They're super strong!" Franky said, "but they still lack a bit of metal in their bodies." He analyzed.

"Not everyone is a cyborg like you," Alvida teased, while Franky just smiled, unoffended.

BOOOOM! 

BOOOOM! 

BOOOOM! 

Then the battle in front of them began, with explosions erupting all over the place as they advanced away from where the fallen Minks and the city were, the blasts leading them into the forest.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were determined not to fall behind this Mink. As they ran around him, using Soru, the giant Bepo simply appeared near them, striking them.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi crashed into the ground, burying it with the force of the destruction from their bodies.

"Can we not do anything against him?!" Inuarashi murmured, unable to believe the humiliation he was enduring in this fight.

"Come on... Inuarashi. We can do better than this!" Nekomamushi crawled out of another hole, his face a little wounded.

"Yes... we won't end this so easily." Inuarashi agreed as he too regained his resolve.

In the next moment, they charged toward Bepo, who was waiting for them, and a new fight began.

"Well... they are determined..." Jinbei murmured, hearing the explosions in the forest in the distance.

"Damn..." A voice came from afar, as Pedro started to get up, feeling so weak. "We did nothing..." he said.

"Are you Pedro?" A voice came from beside him, while Bepo fought with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi in the forest, the explosions continuing, as Alvida approached him.

"Yes... what do you want, human?" Pedro, still weak, looked at her with suspicion.

"You see... my husband is interested in you... he's even considering putting you on the main crew, which is surprising... but I still don't see great strength in you... but who knows, Luffy doesn't usually make mistakes." She spoke.

"Main crew?" Pedro looked at her, puzzled.

Meanwhile, Jinbei, still watching the fight as the forest was being destroyed, sensed something with his Haki and, upon looking back, noticed something was wrong.

"Something wrong?" Franky asked him from the side.

"Yes, there's a presence climbing up to this place, it's weak..." Jinbei murmured, and both stared in that direction.

A few meters away, indeed, someone was climbing up Zunesha's skin. The man had been climbing for days without stopping, finally nearing the land of the Minks, his goal ever since he had to leave Wano.

This samurai had an important mission: to deliver a message and summon the rulers, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, to fight in Wano. Now, a battle would soon begin with Yonkou pirate groups, and it could be the chance to take down Kaido, finally freeing Wano and opening its borders.

The Red Scabbards would come in a year, along with their new ruler, Oden's eldest son. This samurai had nearly died trying to get past Kaido's troops when leaving Wano, as there were far more soldiers than usual, with the entire Beast Pirates army concentrating elsewhere. He managed to escape the country, guided by a vivre card his master had given him.

Even when he saw the giant beast carrying the island on its back, he was determined to fulfill his mission and help free his country. And so, he climbed, enduring hunger and thirst, drinking only rainwater, even suffering through massive storms that tried to knock him down the entire time.

But the man was resolute. He continued until the last few meters, finally reaching the edge of the Minks' land. His last efforts were rewarded as he managed to pull his body up. After taking a moment to breathe, happy to have finally made it, he lifted his gaze.

As he did, he saw two figures. They weren't humans. One was a fish-man, and the other, a cyborg with massive shoulders and arms. He looked at them suspiciously, and then, when he looked at the ship, his eyes widened in surprise.

"The Straw Hats," he murmured, seeing the flag of the Sunny Go, before turning his attention to Zunesha, where there were hundreds of Minks. Even Inuarashi and Nekomamushi appeared after Bepo threw them out of the forest, having given them a beating. The man from Wano was shocked to see the entire Mink race subdued, while others watched from a distance but didn't get too involved.
