"Everyone! Thank you so very much!" Kin'emon took off his shirt, revealing the crest of the Kozuki Family beneath it. "Please confirm this mark!"
"That's right! It's the same crest as the one on Duke Inuarashi, Boss... and Mr. Raizo! It's the crest of the Kozuki Family!" Shishilian cried out in delight.
"I can't believe those guys were old acquaintances..." Luffy still found it unbelievable.
"They made us prepare to clash with the Mink Tribe and everything. Honestly..." Usopp couldn't help complaining.
"It couldn't be helped... They couldn't exactly tell us..." Zoro, on the other hand, took it in stride.
"Hey! Dogstorm and Boss Cat had the same crest on them just now!" Nami was quite happy to see everyone getting along so well. "Maybe their relationship runs even deeper than we imagined!"
"However, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi! I'm truly amazed that the two of you are still living here!" Kin'emon straightened his clothes. Judging by his manner, he had known Inuarashi and Nekomamushi for a very long time.
"I didn't die, so I relied on those words from back then and waited here..." Inuarashi looked quite nostalgic for the days gone by.
"That's right! I knew that one day, we would definitely meet again!" Nekomamushi picked up where Inuarashi left off.
"Hey! Old cat demon! I'm the one talking with Kin'emon!" Inuarashi immediately grew displeased, looking as though he might start fighting Nekomamushi again.
"What? If you're the one talking to him, his mood will be ruined! I only picked up the conversation because I was thinking of that!" Nekomamushi was even more annoyed.
"Please, you two, stop arguing..." Wanda hurriedly tried to dissuade them. "It took us so long to finally wait for them..."
"This has nothing to do with you! Get lost!"
"You get lost!"
But Inuarashi and Nekomamushi
