Zou: Don't Move, Karuchu Warning / Zou: Duke Inuarashi

"Uh, everyone living here is an animal person?" Enel swept his gaze over the peaceful, cheerful Mink Tribe residents in Klaudo's streets and alleys.

Kaku rubbed his chin. "The Mink Tribe rarely has contact with outsiders. I've heard they're fierce fighters, women and children included. They also dislike humans. That group we met when we first arrived certainly fit the description—they were ready to fight us. But that rabbit girl didn't seem to dislike humans, so now I'm not so sure."

"Heh. Long Nose, have you got something wrong?" Enel lazily picked at his ear. "You call people the Thunder God could take out with a few lightning bolts fierce fighters? Do you even know what 'fierce' means?"

"You think everyone's like you?" Kaku shot back. "You've got an advantage because of your Devil Fruit and equipment. In a straight fight, even two of you wouldn't be a match for them."

"Tch." Enel scoffed. "That's no excuse. Is it my fault they don't have powers or good equipment?"

"Forget it." Kaku couldn't be bothered arguing. He turned to Lin Mo. "Captain, are we going down into town?"

"Mm," Lin Mo answered, and started toward Klaudo.

Kaku and Enel followed behind him.

When the three entered Klaudo's peaceful streets,

every Mink Tribe resident who saw them looked startled.

They instinctively stepped back, watching the three of them warily.

The Mink Tribe children hid behind their parents, peeking out with a mixture of fear and fascination.

"Who are they? Why didn't we hear the bell for visitors?"

"Wow, are they Mink Tribe people with barely any fur?"

"They might be. They look so cute."

"I want to give them a karuchu."

"Wait. We don't know who they are yet. They could be invaders."

The Mink Tribe residents murmured among themselves.

"Karuchu again?"
