"I never imagined that you all had such a connection with Duke Inuarashi. In that case, we can take you to see the Duke first."
"However, we will need to stay with you until we meet His Excellency the Duke. Please forgive us."
Sicilian spoke in a very gentle tone, a stark contrast to his tone when he first opened his mouth.
This was understandable, Kazu said, after all, they were well-known, and judging from the other party's sudden change in expression, they knew they had been recognized.
The Mokomo Dukedom is not completely isolated from the outside world; newspapers are delivered to it.
It's just that it's not as smooth as on the open sea, and news is somewhat delayed.
In addition, many Mink Tribe train on the high seas, and some return to Zou after their training, such as Pedro.
Therefore, they actually know quite a bit about the sea.
"No problem, we don't know the way either, so we'd appreciate it if you could tell us about the local customs and culture."
"Come on, don't rush inside. Sit down, have some food and drinks."
Kazu was very enthusiastic; he even wanted to recruit a Mink Tribe as a mascot, so of course he needed to build a good relationship and leave a good reputation first.
Sicilian was not an inflexible person, and upon hearing what Kazu said, he readily accepted the invitation.
A dozen or so more Mink Tribe joined the meal, and the food was no longer enough.
There's not much else in the Kazu Independent Space, just plenty of food and drinks.
With a wave of his hand, dozens more dishes and hundreds of bottles of fine wine appeared on the table.
The Mink Tribe, who were initially somewhat reserved, couldn't hide the light in their eyes when they took their first bite of the delicious food.
"This food is absolutely delicious."
"Yes, I've never had such delicious food and wine before."
"Thank you, thank you so much for your hospitality, Karuchu!!"
Kazu and his group eat this level of food every day and don't seem to have any reaction. They mainly drink and chat, only occasionally touching the food. It's a completely different scene from the dozen or so Mink Tribe members, who exude elegance.
More than half an hour later, after wolfing down their food, the dozen or so Mink Tribe had full bellies. Although they couldn't eat anymore, they were still craving the food they had just eaten and reminiscing about it.
Sicilian, belatedly realizing what was happening, blushed slightly with embarrassment and quickly stood up to bow to Kazu and the others.
"I'm so sorry, we've never eaten such delicious food before, and we've been impolite for a moment."
Thank you again for your donations.
The dozen or so Mink Tribe all stood up and bowed, clearly aware that their eating manners had been somewhat unseemly.
"Haha, this is nothing. When it comes to eating and drinking, you have to let loose to enjoy the food and drinks."
Seeing such an easygoing Blond Hair Pirates, Sicilian felt much more at ease.
The opponent is one of the Four Emperors of the sea, and many newspapers even say that they are the leader of the Four Emperors, with unparalleled strength on the sea.
He had a pretty good idea of what the Four Emperors were like. To put it bluntly, any one of the Four Emperors could completely destroy their Mokomo Dukedom.
For example, his own clan, the Lion -Mink Tribe, has Pekoms in Big Mom Pirates.
He had returned to Zou before and spoken with them about Charlotte Linlin's Yamato and capriciousness.
"Lord Kazu, please follow us. We will lead you to Duke Inuarashi's residence."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."
A group of more than twenty people walked confidently through the city gate, and along the way, some not-so-ordinary Mink Tribe looked in their direction.
Kazu, Carlmand, and the others waved and laughed at the Mink Tribe on both sides of the road. It seems that joining in the fun isn't just human nature; even the Mink Tribe can't avoid it.
"Haha, this is so interesting! These are really animals that walk and talk just like humans!"
"Yes, it's much more interesting than many zoos."
Most people on the high seas still like these Mink Tribe, otherwise there wouldn't be so many pirate crews that like to keep animals.
After walking to the end of the stone-paved road, the path becomes overgrown with trees.
As we continued walking, many Mink Tribe remained watching from a distance or from tree branches.
It was quite a rare occurrence to have Lord Sicilian personally lead the way, so everyone was very curious.
Some knowledgeable Mink Tribe recognized Kazu and his group, but they were a very small minority; most Mink Tribe didn't really enjoy reading newspapers.
"We're here, this is it."
Sicilian stopped in front of a huge wooden house.
" Duke Inuarashi has several offices, and he happens to be here today."
"Please wait a moment while I report the situation to His Excellency the Duke."
The other Mink Tribe remained where they were, while Sicilian knocked on the door alone.
"Come in."
A steady voice came from inside the house, and then Sicilian pushed open the door and entered.
