Bepo

It's a bear.

The Way of Yamato and steadfastness.

"Of course! Anyone can see that!" Ulti rolled her eyes. "I can also tell it's a polar bear."

"And it's a polar bear that's only wearing clothes," Hiyori added.

There was a bear lying on the deck, a polar bear, a polar bear wearing clothes.

He is currently fast asleep with his eyes tightly closed.

This creature had just drifted ashore from the sea, Sirius casually pulled it out of the water.

"This guy is probably no ordinary bear."

Jack observed the bear, then said seriously, "Its physique and skeleton are too similar to a human's; it might be Mink Tribe."

"The Mink Tribe?"

Yamato exclaimed in surprise, "The Mink Tribe who live on the backs of elephants? Just like those two under Oden?"

"Oh? Jack is quite knowledgeable, isn't he?"

Sirius laughed and said, "The Mink Tribe rarely appears on the sea."

Jack's good friend's guess was indeed correct.

The moment Sirius saw the polar bear, he recognized him.

After all, he is a named character in the original work, and he is known as one of the "pet duo" along with the ship's doctor on the Straw Hat Pirates.

If I remember correctly, his name is Bepo.

They are indeed the Mink Tribe from Zou.

The good brother snorted coldly, "Don't look down on us. Even if you haven't seen them, you've at least heard of them. After all, like us Fish-Man, they are a minority group on the sea."

Sirius stared in astonishment, his eyes widening. "Oh right, you're Fish-Man!"

Almost forgot, my good buddy is a Fish-Man!

"Hmm, I almost forgot too."

Maria nodded in deep agreement.

"Eh!!"

Ulti's reaction was even more exaggerated; she exclaimed incredulously, "Jack is Fish-Man?"

"I've never even heard of this before!" Page One exclaimed in surprise.

"You bastards, that's enough!" Jack's forehead veins bulged.

"You've misunderstood Pay-tan and Little Ulti."

Sirius laughed and said, "They probably genuinely don't know, because we've likely forgotten to tell them."

"Mmm,"

Yamato nodded in deep agreement, "That's because Jack never goes into the water."

"Sometimes I really want to punch you guys!" Jack's eye twitched.

"Well, Jack is just like any other ordinary person, isn't he?" Yamato a grin.

It's all Jack's fault for being a Devil Fruit User, which subconsciously makes people see him as the opposite of water. He's a Fish-Man, but he can't swim, thus wasting the Fish-Man Race's greatest advantage.

You don't even know Fish-Man Karate or Fish-Man Jujutsu. You've failed as Fish-Man, Jack good brother.

"Alright, enough of the chit-chat, let's get down to business,"

Jack looked at the polar bear still lying on the deck, its eyelids twitching slightly. "So, what should we do with this guy?"

"Kindness,"

Sirius thought for a moment, "How about stewing it? Bear paws are quite delicious."

Yamato instantly understood and said with a grin, "Yeah, I really want to eat some too!"

"That Hiyori," Sirius called out, "Can you cook it?"

"Hmm, I've never processed ingredients like this in Wano Country," Hiyori chuckled, "But there's a recipe for it in the previous one, so I can give it a try."

"Wow, this chef is terrible!"

Sirius shook his head regretfully, "You don't even know how to cook this kind of dish?"

"If Sirius likes it, he can eat it raw, can't he?" Hiyori a smile.

As Sirius and the others talked, the white bear lying on the deck had its fur standing on end, its eyes were trembling, and its already damp fur was even seeping water.

"Then I'll cut off the claws first."

Sirius drew his greatsword, walked to the white bear's side, and raised the sword.

"Ugh!!"

The polar bear, who had been unconscious, instantly regained consciousness, leaped up, and huddled up against the ship's railing, trembling. "No, don't eat me!"

He had been awake for a while, but he was too scared to open his eyes.

"It spoke! It's definitely not an ordinary polar bear!"

Page One's eyes lit up.

Kids love fluffy things.

The polar bear in front of me is quite cute.

"So it really is the Mink Tribe." Jack nodded slightly.

This proves that his judgment was correct.

"The Mink Tribe?"

The trembling polar bear cautiously raised its head.

"But why would Mink Tribe be all alone here?" Jack was puzzled; the Mink Tribe rarely ventured out to sea.

"They couldn't have drifted all the way from the New World, could they?"

"Why don't you just ask this guy and you'll know?"

Ulti strode aggressively up to the polar bear and shouted, "Hey, you! How did you get to Beihai?"

"Help, Captain!"

The polar bear shrank back in fright, covered its two round ears, and screamed.

"Okay, Little Ulti, you scared him."

Black Maria walked over with a smile, squatted down next to the polar bear, and gently stroked his head, just like petting a kitten.

Given the difference in their physiques, Maria's action didn't seem out of place at all.

"Alright, alright, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

It must be said that Maria, the most approachable Sirius Pirates, stopped the trembling of the polar bear with just a few words, and he cautiously raised his head.

"Really! You really won't eat me?"

Of course not.

Maria smiled and said, "My name is Maria. Could you tell me your name too?"

"Bepo."

Bepo lowered his head, his short, stubby, hairy fingers fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, looking very shy. "My name is Bepo."

"Bepo? What a cute name."

Maria continued, "So, Bepo, can you tell me how you came from the New World to the North Sea?"

"Huh? Where is the New World?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Bepo's eyes. "I've always been in the North Sea."

"Idiot! Don't you even know where you come from?" Ulti sneered.

"Waaah--"

The polar bear immediately lowered its head, looking very somber, as if a dark cloud had descended upon it. "I'm sorry, I'm slow to react."

"This guy seems to have a very low tolerance for stress." Ulti showed no remorse whatsoever, and instead burst into laughter.

Sirius knew Bepo was telling the truth; the boy had fallen off an elephant's back when he was very young.

Then, through a series of coincidences, he arrived in Beihai, having completely forgotten about his hometown.

"So, Bepo, why are you adrift at sea?"

Maria's words instantly ignited the polar bear's emotions.

Just moments ago, Bepo was secretly grieving, but he suddenly looked up, his eyes already blurred with tears.

"Please, please save the captain! The captain has been captured by bad guys!"

Yeah?

Is there such a scene in the original work?
