Sicilian entered the room and stood before Duke Inuarashi.
Duke Inuarashi was sitting at the table looking at the documents in his hands. The Mokomo Dukedom didn't have many people skilled in handling internal affairs. Most of the Mink Tribe aspired to be warriors, so Duke Inuarashi had to handle many internal affairs matters personally.
"Oh, it's Sicilian. How are things going with the adventurers outside the city?"
Duke Inuarashi had just learned of this matter. Since Sicilian was a steady and reliable person, Inuarashi was quite at ease letting him handle it personally.
" Duke Inuarashi, the people who have arrived are the Blond Hair Pirates; the entire crew is here."
Sicilian reported the situation truthfully, and when Duke Inuarashi heard that it was the Blond Hair Pirates who had come, he stopped writing in mid-air.
"What did you say?"
"It's that man!!"
Duke Inuarashi's two enormous dog eyes widened even more, his mouth slightly agape, for a moment filled with disbelief.
If Sicilian wasn't lying, then their Mokomo Dukedom would have to be careful.
In his youth, he had personally witnessed how those powerful figures on the high seas fought. To put it bluntly, if he were to go up there, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move.
Even with that wretched Old Cat added...
Forget it, why did I think of him? What bad luck.
"I'm quite certain, Your Grace. I've seen the newspapers about the Blond Hair Pirates; they have their pictures in them. There's no mistake."
"However, they were all very hospitable. At the city gate, they even invited me and the other Musketeer Squad to have a delicious meal."
"The food and wine were top-notch; I've never tasted anything like it before. It's clear the other party meant no harm."
Duke Inuarashi felt somewhat relieved after hearing what Sicilian said next.
He put down his work, stood up, nodded, and said, "Let's go, we can't keep our distinguished guests waiting. Come with me."
"Yes, sir!"
Duke Inuarashi walked ahead, with Sicilian following behind, as they exited the room one after the other.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to our Mokomo Dukedom. I am the King of this country, Inuarashi, who rules the daytime."
Duke Inuarashi recognized Kazu and the others at a glance as soon as he stepped out of the room.
Sicilian was absolutely right; it was definitely them.
Especially the blond Her Kazi standing at the very front, although he had no hostility, the subtle yet powerful aura emanating from the other party put a lot of pressure on him.
This is something he could only experience from a strong person like Newgate.
He was even more dangerous than Newgate to him.
This may also be one of the advantages of their Mink Tribe; they are more sensitive to danger and powerful individuals than humans.
Of course, there are also downsides. For example, he can't help but drool when he sees bones, and he can't wait to rush up and take a bite.
"Hahaha, you're Inuarashi landed on the Moby Dick with Cat Viper back then, right?"
"I've heard about your story from the old man."
Kazu was very outgoing and familiar with people. Of course, Whitebeard hadn't told him about Cat Viper and Inuarashi, but that didn't stop Kazu from making things up. Anyway, it was true, and Duke Inuarashi had no way of verifying it.
Duke Inuarashi was deeply moved to hear that Whitebeard still remembered them.
Back then, Oden insisted on leaving, wanting to accompany Roger to unravel the secrets of this world, which infuriated Whitebeard.
Furthermore, although they had some connection with Whitebeard, they had no dealings with Kazu, even though they were father and son.
This was also the main reason why Duke Inuarashi was initially a little worried.
It seems like things are settled now; the other side really did come here to take a risk.
"I'm truly honored that the Whitebeard captain still remembers us."
"And I am also happy for him to have such an excellent son as Kazu."
"Come, Lord Kazu, now that you've come to our territory, we must treat you well. Let's start with a grand banquet."
"Tomorrow, I will personally show you around this country, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it."
Kazu and the others naturally had no objections. The place was full of beauty, a blend of civilization and primitiveness, and holding a banquet here would be a wonderful thing.
"Hahaha, the banquet is starting! The banquet is starting! Everyone, get moving!"
Carlmand, Behrens, and the others were also busy helping the Mink Tribe people prepare the feast.
As for the drinks, some of the specialty drinks from the Mokomo Dukedom were quite good, but the others weren't so great.
Kazu generously brought out one hundred cases of fine wine that he had stored in advance.
The moment the bottle was opened, the rich aroma of the liquor made the cravings for alcohol in the stomachs of the Mink Tribe who loved to drink leap up.
"Such a large quantity of fine wine, Lord Kazu has truly gone to great lengths."
Duke Inuarashi was no fool; the mere smell of this wine made his mouth water, so he figured it must be incredibly expensive.
