Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

"Wow! I was saying that so many people were looking at me in a weird way."

"Are you guys trying to steal my treasure?"

Skarl felt something was wrong from the beginning. Many guards, including Duke Inuarashi when he first arrived, looked at him twice.

Only now did he realize what skull bones meant to dogs.

But this is also something he treasures and loves, and he doesn't want to give it away.

"Gulu."

"Don't worry, customer. We still have the self-control and we won't rob you."

Wanda swallowed, staring at Skarr's skull mask and the bones hanging from his hands and feet, and spoke solemnly.

"Hey! You're not very convincing like this."

"Kalina, go with her!"

"Oh, sure. Remember to give me 5000 Baileys later."

Looking around at the dog-like people whose eyes were about to turn blue, Scarl wanted to avoid their gaze, but there were people everywhere.

Unable to dodge, he could only push Kalina towards Wanda and try to stay away from her.

Seeing this, Jerry, who was walking with Duke Inuarashi, turned around and smiled:

"Hahaha, Skarr, it's rare for you to be so popular, cherish it."

"Indeed, your companion looks delicious."

Duke Inuarashi turned his head and drooled. Perhaps this was the meaning of "looking at the plum to quench thirst".

At this moment, Deus came out of his state of writing frantically after looking around, blinked, and asked Jerry:

"Jerry, it suddenly occurred to me that the elephant under my feet has any connection with the elephant of Kaido's general that you defeated in Wano Country?"

"Probably not. That one is a Devil Fruit user. This one should be a naturally occurring giant elephant. It has always been standing on the sea."

"It can't be possible that the elephant's devil fruit came from this giant elephant."

Being asked this out of the blue, Jerry answered intuitively without even thinking.

"Wano Country? Have you been there? And defeated Kaido's men?"

Inuarashi, who was walking beside Jerry, naturally heard Deuce's question. His eyes lit up and he was obviously very concerned about this issue.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking at him excitedly, Deus hurriedly said:

"Yes, what? Does the Duke know about Wano Country as well?"

"Didn't they say that you are isolated from the world and hostile to humans?"

"Yes, of course I know. When I was a child, that cat and I drifted to Wano Country, where we studied, grew up, and practiced."

Although he was wearing sunglasses, the nostalgic look on Duke Inuarashi's face could be seen through the lenses. Then, he restrained himself a little and continued:

"Our Furry Principality and Wano Country are allies with a long history. It was because I heard the legend of the ally that I wanted to go out to sea with that cat to search for it."

"Although I got into trouble and fell into the sea not long after I went out to sea, fortunately, I eventually drifted to Wano Country."

"In addition, we have no natural hostility towards humans, except, of course, towards those humans who want to do evil here."

"No wonder you let us pass so easily after you left the city gate."

Deuce was previously very puzzled as to how his group could get through so easily, and he simply attributed it to the gentleness of Duke Inuarashi.

But now it seems that there are other reasons. Although this country is isolated from the world, it is not very opposed to visitors, provided that the rules are followed.

Inuarashi seemed to be very concerned about Wano Country, and asked with an expectant look:

"When did you go to Wano Country? What's it like there now?"

"Uh... about half a year ago, the situation was..."

Next, Deuce and Jerry took turns talking to Duke Inuarashi and told him what they knew about the current situation in Wano Country.

After listening to their description, Inuarashi's face was filled with anger, he gritted his teeth, and then sighed:

"Alas! It's really getting serious, damn Kurozumi Orochi! Damn Kaido!"

After cursing a few words, Inuarashi thanked them solemnly.

"And thank you for everything you've done for Jiuli."

"You...even if you are allies, you don't need to do this, right?"

"Besides, we were just doing a favor, right, Jerry."

"Well, it wasn't hard for me to get the stored meat."

Seeing how serious he was, Deuce quickly waved his hand and pulled Jerry along, saying that it was nothing.

But Inuarashi still insisted:

"Anyway, it really helped a lot."

"I am not only expressing my gratitude as the king of an ally, but also as a retainer of Kozuki Oden, the former daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country."

"Eh? The Great Master of Kuri..."

The sudden appearance of this identity surprised Deus.

"Yes, the cat and I both grew up there."

"Then why are you guys..."

"You want to ask how to come back here and become the king, right?"

"It's a long story..."

Inuarashi looked nostalgic, recalling that it had been more than ten years since that incident.

Jerry, who had been silent beside him, blinked and took over the conversation as if by reflex.

"Then let's keep the story short."

"Ah, that was when Lord Oden returned to Wano Country from overseas..."

Inuarashi said a lot of things like this...

"Finally, since we were unable to defeat Kaido for the time being, we fled with our companions at all costs. We got separated on the way, so the demon cat and I retreated back here."

"But because of Lord Oden's incident, he and I have become enemies, and now we basically don't see each other anymore."

As everyone walked and talked, Inuarashi recalled what happened back then and was still filled with indignation.

After hearing this, Deus couldn't help but sigh:

"I see. Kaido... is indeed a powerful monster."

"Yes, but it's not easy for you to defeat his senior officials."

Thinking of the prophecy from Lady Toki in Wano Country, Inuarashi looked at Jerry and said:

"I'm sorry, I have an unreasonable request, I wonder if you can agree to it."

"Me? Tell me, if it's not a big deal, it's fine."

Jerry was still thinking about finding a place to fish in this wonderful country on the back of an elephant when he suddenly saw a dog's head reaching out to talk to him.

Inuarashi calculated that the predicted 20 years were about to arrive, and Jerry in front of him happened to have fought with Kaido's cadres recently.

He wanted to see how his strength compared to those cadres, so he continued:

"I shouldn't be so rude to a visiting guest, but for the sake of my beliefs and promises, I have to be presumptuous."

"I would like to ask you to spar with me, preferably at the level of Jack, who you defeated."

"Like this? Not impossible. Do you want to see how strong he is? But my fighting style is different from his."

"After all, I am a sunny and cheerful boy, but he is not."

Although Jerry knew about his feud with Kaido's pirate group, it was difficult for him to imitate Jack's fighting style. There was a huge difference in body size, not to mention the ability of the fruit.

"No problem, I just want to compare them so I can prepare for the future."

Inuarashi did not force Jerry to simulate. He simply wanted to understand the strength level of Kaido's subordinates.
