Looks Like a Child, but an Old Hand with Driving Skills Far Beyond the Ordinary

Enel's trident transformed into lightning and was hurled out instantly, seemingly traversing space, appearing in front of Duke Inuarashi in the blink of an eye.

"My life is over!" Just as Duke Inuarashi closed his eyes and awaited death, beginning to doubt whether his decision was correct, a Double-Headed Trident pierced through the lightning and appeared in front of Duke Inuarashi.

"Old dog, you really look pathetic!" The familiar voice immediately cheered Duke Inuarashi up.

"Old Cat, don't be careless. The enemy is a formidable foe that defeated Oden-sama," Duke Inuarashi knew the situation was serious and couldn't care less about the grudge between the two.

"Ah, they told me everything before I arrived. I'm so sorry I'm late, leaving you to face such a formidable enemy alone." The Master Nekomamushi's expression was grave. Even with his optimism, he was helpless in the face of such a hopeless situation. "Can you still fight?"

"You underestimate me too much. It's just a minor injury, nothing to mention." Duke Inuarashi gripped his sword and stood beside Master Nekomamushi.

"Then let's put aside our grudges for now and fight side by side again, so that these invaders know that when the Day and Night Kings of the 'Furry' Duchy join forces, they are invincible!" the Master Nekomamushi said with high spirits.

Duke Inuarashi was taken aback, not expecting that Master Nekomamushi would take the initiative to propose a truce. He then laughed loudly, "Alright, let's drive away these enemies and then settle the score."

Seeing their hands clasped together, all the Mink tribe erupted in boundless cheers.

"Great! The King of Day and the King of Night have finally joined forces!"

"These damned invaders can't possibly imagine how powerful the two kings will be when they join forces."

"The two kings will surely lead us to defeat the enemy and restore peace to the kingdom."

"Looks like you two are quite popular. I wonder what kind of expressions they'll have when I trample you both under my feet?" Enel said nonchalantly, glancing sideways at him.

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, the cat and dog noticed that the boy who had been detached from the battlefield, as if all the fighting had nothing to do with him, was finally flying in a certain direction. The destination was the sacred land of the Mink Tribe - the Whale Forest, which was also the hiding place of Kozuki Momonosuke and his group.

"Damn it, what do you think you're doing?" Seeing the urgency of the situation, the Master Nekomamushi didn't care that the other party was a top-tier expert who had defeated Kozuki Oden, and rushed in that direction in a panic.

Boom!

The Master Nekomamushi dodged the attack with a side somersault, and the spot where he had been standing was now pierced by lightning, creating a giant hole.

"Trying to bypass our defenses and disturb the captain? You think too highly of yourself." Enel flew leisurely behind him, like a shadow.

"Damn it, if we don't defeat this guy quickly, we won't be able to stop the enemy captain's actions at all." The Master Nekomamushi charged towards Enel with a ferocious expression. "Old dog, come and help!"

"Idiot, to God, it makes no difference whether there are one or two small fry!"

"Is this the Whale Forest? It's truly amazing." Roy walked through the sacred land of the Mink Tribe as if it were his own territory. Not to mention that the Mink Tribe's fighting force had been completely mobilized, leaving their rear defenses empty, even if everyone was on high alert, it would make no difference to him.

Roy's Observation Haki enveloped the entire forest, instantly revealing the location of Momonosuke's group. "The top of the Whale Tree, where Poneglyph Poneglyph are kept? That saves me some trouble."

"Kin'emon, is hiding here really going to do any good? The opponent is a demon that even Father could defeat!" Momonosuke gritted his teeth, looking lost and helpless.

"Young Master, there's no need to worry. Duke Inuarashi and Master Nekomamushi are both powerful figures who followed Oden-sama. Their strength is extraordinary. Moreover, the Mink Clan is a nation of warriors. Even if that demon Nightmare wanted to take action against them, it wouldn't be something that could be accomplished in a day or two," Kin'emon reassured him.

"That's right, young master, there's no need to worry. The Mink Clan has been a vassal of the Kozuki Family since ancient times, and their loyalty is beyond question. Moreover, as the Kozuki Family's rear base, there might be powerful forces left behind by the Kozuki Family's ancestors here, waiting for you, Momonosuke, to discover them," Kanjuro comforted him.

"Alright then." Momonosuke sat on the ground listlessly, sighing, "Duke Inuarashi is really something. Why didn't he leave Carrot here to keep me company? The battlefield is so dangerous, what use is a little girl like her?"

"Cough cough..." Kin'emon coughed violently, awkwardly reminding him, "Momonosuke, the other party is, after all, a Mink, and it is not appropriate for someone of your noble status to have a relationship beyond friendship."

"No, Kin'emon, you're wrong." Momonosuke became unusually serious, speaking in the tone of a life mentor, "True love can transcend the boundaries of wealth and poverty, age gaps, and even species barriers. Ah, never mind, you're a single dog, you probably wouldn't understand these things."

Kin'emon's lips twitched weakly, his mind screaming, "Is he really Oden-sama's son? Or was he picked up from the trash heap to top up his phone credit... cough cough?"

Rumble!

The Whale Tree swayed, and deafening sounds of battle came from the direction of the battlefield, instantly Momonosuke from his loneliness and emptiness. He asked in a daze, "They've started fighting? Didn't you say the battle wouldn't start anytime soon?"

"This... perhaps the Nightmare demon simply doesn't play by the rules."

"No, this place is far too dangerous. We must escape immediately."

"What?" Kin'emon could hardly believe his ears. "Lord Momonosuke, the entire 'Foggy' Principality is fighting for you! How can you abandon them and escape alone?"

"Isn't dying for one's lord the best ending for them?" Momonosuke's cold words sent a chill down Kin'emon's spine, making him realize that he had never truly understood him.

"There's no time to lose, evacuate immediately. Oh, and you guys quickly make a copy of this Poneglyph. This is the treasure that Kaido and Nightmare Roy have been coveting. If I hand it over to their enemy forces, they might be able to gain protection and the means to make a comeback," Momonosuke calmly instructed.

"But... protecting this Poneglyph from being leaked is the ancestral precept of the Kozuki Family, and it is also a secret that Oden-sama protected with his life. How can you..." Raizo asked, conflicted.

"The Kozuki Family is on the verge of extinction, what's the point of talking about ancestral precepts?" Seeing their unwavering expressions, Momonosuke decisively changed his approach. "Don't you all want the power to avenge our father?"

"Yes... we will obey your orders, Lord Momonosuke." Kin'emon and the others had no choice but to bow down.
