Chapter 399: Sulong Bepo
As Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were about to duel with Bepo to determine the position of the new king, the news spread quickly across the island, and a large number of minks came to watch the duel.
Although the mink tribe chooses their king through an election system, the main thing is strength.
Otherwise, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, two strong people with equal strength, would not have become kings at the same time without giving in to each other, dividing the day and night of Zou Island.
The minks who came to watch were discussing whether the two kings would continue to be re-elected, or whether Bepo, the newly returned bear mink, would become the new king.
Bepo is Zepo's younger brother. He has been wandering in the sea for nearly ten years and is full of magical colors. Therefore, even though he has just returned to Zou Island, he has gained the favor of many people.
Anyway, they are not very repulsive to Bepo, a wanderer of the sea.
As the duel arena was quickly set up, the duel election for the new king of the mink tribe began again after more than ten years.
"Can Bepo really beat Boss Nekomamushi? I think he looks cute and shy!"
"Lord Bepo is an adventurer who has visited over a hundred islands. He must be very strong!"
"Yes, Bepo is a unique figure in the sea, and he must be powerful!"
"Actually, I don't like the division system between the King of Day and the King of Night."
···
Under the duel ring, there were a lot of people standing there. Zou is just as big as a big town, so the news spread quickly, and they were all discussing it enthusiastically.
"Sister Wanda, I think Bepo's strength is no match for Boss Nekomamushi."
Carrot said with a sad face. In fact, she was very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she respected the two kings, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, but on the other hand, she wanted Bepo to win.
Because under the leadership of Bepo, their tribe will definitely have more opportunities to contact the outside world.
And Carrot can also go to sea and adventure on the sea she longs for!
"Basire-sama said that Bepo can defeat the two kings. Maybe Bepo is really strong."
Wanda didn't know what the strength of the white bear Bepo was, so she could only comfort Carrot.
Under the auspices of Basire and Pedro, both Nekomamushi and Bepo stepped into the king's duel ring.
"Brother Bepo, use all your strength. I spent time with the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates for several years, so don't underestimate me!"
The big cat mink looked at Bepo with his ferocious sharp teeth and big mouth. He knew that Bepo is also a subordinate of a Yonkō.
Nekomamushi was once a subordinate of Whitebeard, the leader of the Four Emperors, and Roger, the pirate king, so whether it was his status on the sea or his status as king within the mink tribe, he could crush Bepo, a young mink.
"Yes, Boss Nekomamushi, I will do my best!!"
Bepo also said honestly. To be honest, he was also frightened by the ferocious aura of his opponent. If it weren't for the Moon Rumble Ball that gave him the confidence, he would never believe he could defeat Nekomamushi, the king of the night of the mink tribe.
Inuarashi, who was in the VIP seat of the audience, also frowned at Bepo. With his simple and honest appearance, he didn't look like a strong person.
He thought that Basire asking him to team up with Nekomamushi to deal with Bepo was too much of a joke.
"I announce that the duel match for the 51st King of the Mokomo Dukedom has begun!"
"I hope that the two of you will not fight to the death. We are a united and friendly mink tribe!"
Pedro, who had a high prestige, went to the ring and announced. At the same time, he did not forget to tell them that he did not want deaths to occur in this duel.
Nekomamushi is Pedro's current boss, and Bepo is the younger brother of his friend Zepo.
He would feel very uncomfortable if there were any casualties.
"Don't worry, I won't kill any of my clan members!"
Nekomamushi smiled and said that although he became a retainer of the Kozuki family, he was still a member of the mink tribe. If his tribe was in danger, he would sacrifice his life for them with no hesitation.
"Then let's begin!"
After Pedro made the announcement, he jumped off the ring, and the minks under the ring instantly became lively, looking forward to the battle between Nekomamushi and Bepo.
"Little Bear, come here and make your move!"
Nekomamushi grinned like the Cheshire cat. As an old-timer, he asked Bepo to take action first. This was because he was very confident in his own strength.
"That's offending, senior!!"
Under the nods of Basire and Law, Bepo chewed up the moon rumble wave ball that he had held in his mouth in advance.
As Bepo roared to the sky, his eyes instantly turned scarlet, the white hair all over his body grew rapidly, and there was a trace of electric current, and his teeth and nails also became long and sharp!
"How come?!!"
"It's actually the Sulong form!!"
"But it's daytime now! Why on earth is this?!!"
"And today is not the day of the full moon!"
"Could Bepo be able to freely activate the Sulong form? This is so shocking!!"
···
The minks under the ring suddenly screamed loudly, shocked and excited.
Maybe they will soon welcome the strongest king who can enter the Sulong state at any time!
"Is this your confidence?!"
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were also very shocked. They could only enter the Sulong state during the full moon. They didn't expect Bepo to be able to activate the powerful Sulong state during the day.
Pedro and the top leaders of the Guardians and Musketeers also looked at the majestic and domineering Sulong Bepo with burning eyes.
Perhaps the day and night divided system will end today!
Carrot and Wanda both looked at Bepo who had transformed with excitement on their faces. This was the powerful adventurer mink who had returned from the sea.
"Take my blow!"
Bepo, who was covered with lightning, got down on all fours and rushed towards the shocked Nekomamushi with the power of thunder.
"Bepo is still conscious. It seems that he is very skilled in the Sulong form!"
All the minks shouted in surprise. Even among them, only the elite can remain conscious after they enter the Sulong state.
Even Pekoms, who has a bounty of 330 million under the Big Mom Pirates, cannot control his Sulong form.
"Although it's shocking, I won't be defeated like this!"
'Oden One-Sword Style: Cat Laugh Collision!'
Nekomamushi said with a serious face. Although he could not enter the Sulong state right now, he still used his strongest attack.
Because the intimidating power brought by Bepo entering the Sulong form was so powerful that he had to go all out from the beginning.
And Bepo also knows that the effect of a moon rumble ball only lasts three minutes, so he must make a quick decision and defeat the opponent in the shortest possible time!
Boom~!!
After the fierce collision, a figure quickly flew backwards. Sulong Bepo's full blow could even knock away the Yonkō Blackbeard, let alone Nekomamushi, who was completely inferior to Jack the Drought.
