Chapter 27 - Zou

A week later

The crew arrived next to the Thousand Sunny and saw that it was following a giant elephant. Luffy said "Woah! A giant elephant!" Kanjuro said "Zou is on top of the elephant's back, and they are a tribe of Minks." everyone turned to Viper, who was looking at the elephant. Robin coughed and Viper looked around, he sighed and mumbled "Stupid flying powers..." before transforming allowing everyone to get on.

The crew bid farewell to Bartolomeo and his crew, and Viper took off. He was flying up the elephant's leg and said "There's a monkey falling towards us... How stupid do you have to be to fall off an elephant?" Robin giggled and said "Viper, don't be mean. Maybe he's already dead." Ussop snapped "Will you stop?!" Viper laughed and the Monkey flew past his head and hit Kin'emon and Kanjuro, who weren't paying attention, sending them flying down to the Sunny.

Viper said "I'm not going after them. The guy with red hair can make flying animals." the group nodded and Viper flew up faster than he was going before. Law said "If you went this fast before we wouldn't have lost the other two." Viper said "I don't trust that red haired guy, I was flying close to the leg and slower so that if he attacked I can still grab on to the leg and we wouldn't fall to our deaths." Law nodded and said "That makes sense." Viper frowned and said "Yeah, I wouldn't let him know too much of our plan though." Law frowned and said "He won't."

The crew reached the top and Viper reverted and said "This elephant is so god damn tall!" as the group started travelling. They came across a bunch of ruins called 'Mokomo Dukedom' and found it strange, so they decided to explore the ruins. All of a sudden a figure attacked Zoro, revealing herself to be a rabbit Mink. Zoro blocked her with his swords and another dog looking Mink showed up.

The dog Mink said "Carrot stop. We need to deal with the intruders in Whale forest first." Carrot nodded and Ussop said "She's wearing Nami's clothes!" Viper snapped his head around and stared at her, the dog Mink said "You can go to Whale forest to find your crew mates corpse." a blurry figure shot forwards and slammed her down into the ground and gripped her neck.

Viper held her up in the air and said "You better pray none of them are dead, puppy. If I see a single scratch on any of your crew mates, I will kill every Mink on this elephant's back. Do you understand?" he glared at her with slit eyes and tightened his grip, causing her to grab his hand and choke. Carrot lunged forward and Viper covered his other hand in white light and slapped her away.

The crew was frowning and walked over, Robin sighed and said "Really?" Viper said "Extremely serious, i'm not losing another family member because of some stupid animals. I lose one, they go extinct." the dog Mink in his hands paled and Carrot screamed "Let her go!" as she charged forwards again, this time Zoro blocked her and grinned.

Viper loosened his grip and said "Where are they?" the dog Mink was silent and Viper sneered and turned around to the rubble as he said "I don't know who made these ruins, but I gurrantee if I take action the rubble won't exist." before turning to Law and saying "Would you like to be the proud captain of the only living Mink?" Law sighed and said "Bepo probably wouldn't be too happy." the dog Mink was gasping for air and said "You have a Mink in your crew?"

Viper shook her and said "Not really in a spot to ask questions are you?" Luffy suddenly said "Viper. Enough, let her go now." Viper countered "But she might've-" Luffy put his hand up and said "I know. If it's true do whatever you want, let her speak first." Viper slammed her on the ground and kicked her into a wall.

The dog Mink coughed up blood and sat up on the ground gasping for air. Luffy walked up and said "Did you kill my crew?" the dog Mink said "No, I didn't! We thought you were intruders." Viper sighed and said "You could've said that earlier, and spared yourself from almost dying in my hands.. Do you have a dog brain too?" the Monk glared at him before saying to Luffy "I will take you to your friends. I'm Wanda." Luffy smiled and nodded as the crew followed Wanda and Carrot.

They arrived at a city and got a warm welcome. Viper frowned at the happy Minks and mumbled "I don't like this place.." Robin said "Bad feeling?" Viper said "No they give me a good feeling. If a certain puppy didn't thoroughly anger me for no reason before, maybe I wouldn't hate them all." Robin was silent and she heard a sigh from Wanda as they kept going through the city.

The crew met up with Nami and Chopper, and Nami said "Sanji is gone!" Viper grit his teeth and snapped "If it was one of these damn furries I swear-" Wanda snapped "I said we didn't kill anyone!" Viper snapped back "Then why did you say we'd find a corpse of our crewmate somewhere?! You stupid puppy!" his hands started cracking.

Nami blinked and said "What happened?" Robin said "Viper thought they killed you, or any of our crew and threatened to exterminate all the Minks. Nothing too serious.." as she watched Viper and Wanda argue. A Mink ran over and said "The Prince is awake!" the rest of the Monks cheered and went for a feast, Wanda glared at Viper and walked off. He watched her go and let go of his hands while taking a deep breath.

Nami said "You were going to exterminate all these people?" Viper said "Well she had your clothes on and said one of your crew mates' corpse was somewhere else so I just thought-" Luffy screamed "Food!" and ran off, effectively clearing the air. Viper sighed and followed after him, avoiding the Minks from touching him. The rest watched him go and Nami said "He must've been pretty angry huh?" Robin giggled and said "You have no idea..." she explained what happened after Dressrosa and what Viper said before, Nami's eyes softened as she giggled and said "It's nice to have a strong brother, although if he could not try an exterminate a species that would be nice.." the rest of the crew laughed and followed after him.

The crew and the Minks ate and Law reunited with his crew. Viper ate by himself and some of the Minks tried to approach him, but he scared them off with a glare. He didn't like his feelings being played around with, especially when he has no guarantee that the claim wasn't false. Brook showed up and reunited with the rest of the crew, Wanda said "That's who I was talking about." she heard Viper mumbling "Stupid dog he was a corpse already..." and glared in his direction, he scoffed and turned away from her. Luffy said "Do you know anything about Kin'emon?" Brooke said "Luffy, don't mention Samurai around the Minks, they don't like it." Luffy shrugged and forgot about it.

Nami said "What do you do about Sanji?" Viper piped in and said "What happened? You never finished." Nami began to explain what happened, she talked about how they escaped from the Big mom ship but some of the Big mom pirates heard they were going to Zou and followed them. Eventually after saving the Minks, two Big mom pirates showed up and since one of them was a Mink himself thanked the crew and said they would only take Caesar and not Sanji. Nami said "But the other pirate shot the Monk in the back and said that he needed Sanji to come along with his for an arranged marriage." she teared up.

Viper said "Why would they want Sanji for an arranged marriage? To my knowledge arranged marriages are only for political or military gain, Sanji has neither." Nami wiped her eyes and said "I don't know, the man said called him Vinsmoke Sanji and said he was getting married to Charlotte Pudding." Viper paled and fell to the floor mumbling "No.." over and over again, Robin was also shocked and said "Did you say Vinsmoke? Are you sure you heard correctly?" Nami nodded and the rest were confused. Robin burst out laughing and Viper went completely pale and said "It's not real I'm having a nightmare! Chopper slap me awake!" Chopper slapped him in his heavy point, sending him flying into a tree.

Viper got up and said "Phew, thank god. So what happened to Sanji again?" as he walked to the crew and stood next to Robin, who was covering her mouth. Nami deadpanned and said "It wasn't a dream. He called him Vinsmoke Sanji." Viper froze and literally crumbled as he said "Right. I'm gonna pretend I never heard that." as he smiled and sat down to eat, whistling happily.

The crew looked at him and Zoro snapped "What's your problem?!" Viper ignored him and started humming a tune, Robin laughed again and spilled the beans "The pink haired Princess he liked is named Vinsmoke Reiju. Therefore making her Sanji's sister, funnily enough she also has a curly eyebrow but I guess he never wanted to realize it." Viper's hand froze and the rest of the crew froze as well.

Zoro said "You.. You're in love with the love-cook's sister?!" and burst into hysterical laughter, he laughed so hard he fell to the ground and held his stomach with tears in his eyes. The rest of the crew burst into laughter too and Viper's face turned completely red.

Somewhere in the middle of the ocean

Sanji was sitting at a table and suddenly frowned, Caesar said "What's wrong? I'm the prisoner here." Sanji said "I suddenly feel really annoyed and angry. That's weird.."

Back on Zou

Viper snapped "Shut up! Bastards!" the crew were wheezing, gasping for air when Law came over and said "What happened here?" Zoro wiped his eyes and chuckled a bit before saying "Rainbow-hair is in love with the cook's sister.." and he started laughing again. Law's eye widened as he said "The cook has a sister?!" he thought of a blond haired woman that looked exactly like Sanji with a cigarette in her mouth.

Somewhere else in the middle of the ocean

A pink haired woman suddenly frowned, a red haired man said "What's your problem?" the woman said "I suddenly feel really annoyed and angry. Strange..." the red haired man said "It's probably you time of the month.." she flared up and started beating him up.

Back on Zou

Viper said "I didn't know until just now either." Law laughed and said "Don't worry about it. Maybe cook-ya will support you." before bursting into laughter. Zoro blinked and said "That's right! What happens when the shit-cook finds out? Then you're fucked." Viper was confused and Zoro said "You talk a lot in your sleep." Viper's eyes widened and he paled, Zoro chuckled "This one time you had a pretty good one. You got married and everything!" Viper started throttling him and said "Shut up you damn blender! I will replace your eye!"

A while later

Everyone had bumps on their heads as they followed Wanda to see Inuarashi. Wanda said "So you already have someone you like?" Viper was stunned and said "What?" Wanda turned away and said "You heard me you bastard.." as her face turned red, Nami and Robin were stunned. Viper said "So even after everything that happened, you decided that you liked me of all people." Wanda nodded and said "It was very aggressive, I liked it." Viper sucked in a cool breath and said "I'm sorry I said all that, I may have over reacted." then he whispered something in her ear, causing her to turn completely red and almost fall down. Viper chuckled and the rest of the crew sighed, Zoro mumbled "He's distracting himself from the fact that the cook's sister is his dream girl." the rest of the crew nodded sagely and they arrived at Inuarashi's sanatorium.

Inuarashi warmly welcomed them and said "Hello! Welcome." the crew talked with Inuarashi and he explained what happened with Jack, the man who attacked the Mokomo Kingdom and how we split the kingdom with his friend-no-enemy Nekomamushi, as Wanda silently dragged Viper away.

(Lemon bit, also rumbling is basically a dog's way of purring)

She brought him to an empty room and said "I like your aggressiveness, not you. I hope you can satisfy me." Viper grinned and grabbed her neck and said "Poor puppy's in heat?" Wanda growled and Viper chuckled, he brought her face close to his and kissed her as he pulled off her clothes with one hand. She broke off and said "Why are you so gentle?!" He sneered and said "They're my sister's clothes. I think you should worry about yourself right now."

He stripped her naked and grabbed her tail. She yelped and he threw her on the bed, he walked over and said "I've never even seen a Mink before, this should be fun." he took off his clothes and grabbed her tail, dragging her towards him. She made a rumbling sound and he flipped her on her back.

He was amazed and said "Wow! You have fur everywhere!" he touched it and said "And it's soft too!" he grinned and grabbed her breasts and started squeezing them tightly. She moaned and Viper pulled on her nipples before opening her legs and forcing his dick inside her. Her eyes widened and she moaned again "You're so big!" Viper laughed and thrust all the way inside her, smashing against her womb, causing her body to twitch uncontrollably. He grabbed her neck and pushed her down on the bed as he thrusted faster and faster.

She moaned and said "I'm gonna.." and she came. Viper chuckled and flipped her over with his dick still inside her. He grabbed on her tail and pulled hard, as she moaned again. He kept fucking her and got an idea, he bent over and bit on her ear. Her eyes went wide and she screamed "Im gonna cum again!" Viper covered her mouth with his free hand and pulled her back arching her body as he pounded her from behind, she licked his hand and made a rumbling sound, and came again.

2 hours later

Viper was standing over her and said "That was great. Maybe we can do it again sometime." Wanda was collapsed on the bed and said weakly "In your dreams, bastard.." as cum flowed out of her pussy. Viper laughed and said "Lick yourself clean." as he got dressed and walked out of the room back to the crew, leaving Wanda to her own devices.

(Really bet you were NOT expecting that. Shout out to whoever wanted a Mink girl to join the FVC)

Viper walked back into Inuarashi's room and saw that the crew was still listening to Inuarashi's story. He silently slipped back into the group and pretended like he was there the whole time. Inuarashi sighed and said "It's almost time for me to sleep, maybe Nekomamushi still has some wounds.." Viper suddenly said "You know.. I could make you a new leg if you really wanted." the crew turned to him and Inuarashi said "But it wouldn't be the same.."

Viper held up his right arm and said "I made this for myself, It functions as a normal arm.." he moved the fingers and covered it in Haki and suddenly had a maniacal grin and said "If you really want I can even make it better than what you had before!" the crew silently backed away and Inuarashi said "Could you really made it the same?" Viper smiled and nodded "I would have to get my tools and materials from our ship though." Inuarashi barked and said "That would be amazing, thank you!" Viper grinned and said "No problem." Inuarashi said "Wanda help them get to Nekomamushi... Eh? Where did she go?" the crew looked at Viper, who was also looking around, and sighed.

A while later

The group was heading to Nekomamushi with Carrot and Wanda. Wanda had already cleaned herself up and was wearing Nami's clothes again. Luffy suddenly said "Weddings have a lot of food at them right?" Brook said sadly "Luffy, if Sanji marries then we become a subordinate group of Big mom. That's why I think Sanji left the crew." Zoro said "The damn love-cook left without apologizing, we already have Kaido angry I don't think we should fight another one." Viper chuckled and said "Getting scared grass boy?" Zoro snapped "Watch it Rainbow hair! I'm serious!"

Viper sighed and said "You think you can reason with him? Watch." as if one cue Luffy said "I'll just go ask Sanji myself." Zoro sighed and Viper laughed. Zoro said "Big mom is an emperor she's probably really powerful, be careful. We need a plan." Viper rubbed his head annoyed "Why are we always making plans? Luffy just runs in anyways, let's just bust down her doors and take Sanji back!" Luffy cheered and said "Yeah! I like that plan!" Zoro snapped and said "Use your brains! We need a strategy!" Viper grumbled knowing that Zoro was right "Whatever, we'll listen to your plans, you damn blender bastard..."

While they were talking, they arrived at Nekomamushi's home. Chopper immediately snapped "What are you doing! You're supposed to be in bed!" Nekomamushi was taking a bath and eating lasagna. Viper chuckled and said "Hehe A cat eating lasagna.. That's funny." The crew gave him a deadpan look and Chopper dragged Nekomamushi over to his bed, while the rest pf the crew went to meet the Monk from Big mom's crew.

They walked into a room and saw the Lion Mink from Fishman Island. Viper said "You're the guy from Fishman Island? I didn't know you were a Mink." the Mink said "My name is Pekoms and why else would I look like a lion?" Viper waved his hands in the air and said "I don't know! I didn't even know Minks existed till today! I thought you ate a lion fruit or something.." Pekoms laughed at him and said "Well now you know. Idiot." Viper seethed and said "I will get you fixed, you damn furball!" and they started a scuffle, before Chopper ran in and punched them both in the head and snapped "He's injured! What are you starting a fight for?!" Viper almost cried and said "I want my science partner Chopper back...."

Pekoms got back up and said "Thank you for treating me, little reindeer." Chopper said "Just stay in bed." and left the room. Luffy said "Hey lion man! Why did you want Sanji!" Pekoms said "Sanji's father is Vinsmoke Judge. He made a deal with mama and arranged the wedding. The Vinsmoke family is a family of killers." the crew was shocked and looked at Viper, who rolled his eyes and said "Please, and Big mom's family isn't?" Pekoms said "They're the leaders of Germa66 it's different from mama's family!" the crew was shocked again and Viper said "How so? Because Germa is a scientific war nation, and Big mom doesn't use science?" Luffy interrupted and said "Oi! I don't care what Sanji's family is! I don't want to be Big mom's subordinate!"

Pekoms said "You won't. It's a family affair, but Sanji will never be a Straw Hat again." Luffy snapped "No! I make that decision! You're going to take me to the Tea party! I'm going in alone!" Viper piped in "I'm coming." Robin said "You just want to see your princess." Viper reddened and said "What?! No, I want to help my captain and get Sanji, our cook, back. Definitely." the crew rolled their eyes.

Luffy walked outside and got hugged by Nekomamushi, who, in the process of hugging reopened his wounds again much to Chopper frustration. Chopper dragged him off grumbling something and Luffy and the rest met up with Law and explained the situation. Law was shocked and said "This isn't good for Zou." the Minks were so happy at Law's statement they threw another party.

Viper was talking to Nekomamushi about his arm and said "I'm already making one for the big dog, do you want one as well? It will be exactly like your previous hand, if you want I can also make it better!" Nekomamushi was amazed as he looked at Viper's arm and said "Will it be like yours?" Viper nodded and started explaining how his own arm works and said that it worked as a regular arm, as he moved all his fingers separately. Nekomamushi purred and said "Thank you then Viper." Viper said "Don't worry about it! You're a funny guy!" as Viper flew away to get his tools.

A while later

Viper came back with a big bad full of tools and came to Nekomamushi and said "I need your arm measurements" Nekomamushi complied and held his right arm out, Viper did all the measurements and said "I got a few special surprises for you heheh" as he walked away to get to work.

A while later

Viper was tinkering with Nekomamushi's new arm and had a group of Minks watching him work. He pieced together the parts and made it look exactly like before but it was silver and had a 'V' with wings attached to it and a straw hat above it, engraved on the bottom. Viper held up the arm and grinned, he got up and walked over to Nekomamushi as the group of Minks followed him.

Viper saw Nekomamushi sitting with the rest of the crew and Law's crew and he said "Yo! Nekomamushi, your arm is ready for installation!" Nekomamushi was excited and Viper said "Chopper, numb his stump." Chopper numbed him, and Viper took off the bandages he chuckled and said "Don't look if you have a problem with blood heheh" he grabbed his arm docking part, that connected the robotic arm to the nerves and started installing it directly into Nekomamushi's flesh, he grabbed a bucket and put it under his arm to collect the blood and went back to installing.

Viper connected all the wires into his arm and inserted the arm into it. He spun the arm in a full circle and locked it into place with the dock part and said "Finished! How does it feel?" Nekomamushi said "It feels like a have my arm back!" as he moved the fingers and clenched his fist, completely amazed. Everyone else was amazed too, Viper laughed and said "But wait there's more!" Robin said "Oh no.."

Viper said "I connected the robotic and cybernetic wires to your nerve endings, which means you can control it through you brain waves." Law said "That's how you move your arms normally." Viper snapped his fingers and said "Correct but in this case, there are other features! Cat's usually have claws that are able to retract, so if you'd try extending your claws for me please." Nekomamushi held out both hands and extended his claws, on his right fist he had his normal ones but the robot ones came out and were a bit longer and much sharper. Viper said "You can also cover them in Haki, I also coated them in Seastone before I sharpened them just in case you didn't have Haki or your Haki runs out from prolonged fighting." Nekomamushi was stunned and Viper said "There's one more surprise! hehe" he grabbed Nekomamushi's arm and pointed it far away towards a tree and opened his palm and said "Nyan-cannon!" the middle of the hand, a metal pad started glowing and fired off a laser and destroyed the tree.

The Minks, Nekomamushi, Law, Law's entire crew, and the rest of the Strawhats were completely stunned. Viper clapped and said "Perfect it works!" Luffy's eyes turned to stars and he said "COOOOOOL! A CAT LASER!!!" Nekomamushi looked at his arm and said "What was that?" Viper smiled and said "I named it the 'Nyan-Cannon' it comes from the fake pad in the middle of your hand." he pointed to the pad and said "It's completely voice activated and only goes off to your and my voice, while you're pointing at an enemy. It works by accumulating the energy from your body and firing the laser. It can work around 5 times before you become exhausted, it works through Haki too! But if you try to fuse the beam with Haki it will drain you even more, I assume you would only be able to attack with a Haki 'Nyan-Cannon' around twice depending on how fresh you are. I named the Haki version 'Black Cat Destruction Beam'!" he smiled.

They were shocked yet again by the information dump. Luffy screamed "I wanna see it! Show me! Laser, laser, laser!" Viper laughed and said "It has no side effects other than being tired from over use. If you go to sleep and recharge your body you will be able to use it again." he paused before adding "Though it would be very hard to repair, because I have all the designs you would have to come to me.. I can make you an extra arm that is just normal if you'd like." Nekomamushi shook his head and laughed as he said "That won't be a problem! Thank you this is much better than what I was expecting!" Viper smiled and was tackled by a bunch of Mink girls who started nuzzling him.

The crew were amazed at the robotic arm and Franky said "It's better than my laser..." Zoro said "Was he going to put that in my eye?!" Law was just stunned and Luffy kept asking Nekomamushi to show him the 'Black Cat Destruction Beam'. Viper was getting licked by Minks all over his face and one of the Minks dragged him off. Robin and Nami sighed as they watched him go and said "6." as the crew continued the party.

The next morning

Viper woke up and a bed next to a naked cat Mink. He got dressed and scratched the girl behind her ears, causing her to purr before leaving. He grabbed his bag of tools and metal and flew into the air to find the crew. He flew into the air and found the crew along with Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and the two samurai he flew over in front of Inuarashi and said "Hey! What did I miss?" Robin said "The samurai were looking for their friend and the two dukes said he was safe." Viper clapped and said "A nice resolution then! Anyways Inuarashi, I have your new leg ready!" Viper put down the bag and dug out a docking part and a silver leg. The crew were stunned and Luffy said "Can it shoot lasers too?!" Viper shook his head and said "No, but it can do other things!"

Viper installed Inuarashi's leg and said "How does it feel?" Inuarashi stood up and said "Like my old leg!" Viper laughed and said "Stand on it and jump as hard as you can." Inuarashi didn't think much of it and jumped, but he shot into the sky like a rocket. Everyone looked up at him in the air, and he came back down before he hit the ground Viper shouted "Break!" a little booster came out and slowed his fall as he landed on the ground. Inuarashi was amazed and Viper chuckled and said "Fly!" the booster came back and he hovered in the air, trying to keep his balance.

Luffy almost exploded as he said "HE CAN FLY!" Viper laughed and said "Enough." and Inuarashi landed back on the ground and was stunned. Viper said "I added the booster system that makes you capable of flight, it drains your energy making you tired. The system works the same as Nekomamushi's if you use it for too long you will be physically exhausted. The jumping system is activated by you, if you want to jump high put pressure on it and jump. It doesn't tax your energy like the flight system works. To safely land on the ground just shout 'Break' and if you want to fly, shout 'fly'. It only works to your and my voices. I hope you like it!"

Inuarashi was excited as he wagged his tail and said "Thank you so much!" Viper waved him off and said "It was fun for me to make. You both are my first customers!" he pointed his thumb over his shoulder at Zoro and said "I'll get him a new eye one day too!" Zoro shifted behind the group slightly and Franky said "We're still doing that?!" Viper gave him a look and said "Of course! Look at the engravings!" the crew looked and saw the engraving of a 'V' with wings attached and a straw hat on top and smiled.

The two dukes thanked Viper again and led the two samurai towards a secret room, while the crew followed them. They arrived in a cave and saw a man with a huge head chained to a big red stone. Kin'emon said "Raizo!" as Inuarashi freed Raizo and the duo hugged. Viper watched Kanjuro closely and frowned when he seemed genuine he turned away from him and looked at the red stone, he said "A Poneglyph?" Robin said "Yes, though it seems more like a map."

Inuarashi said "That's because it is. The red Poneglyphs are known as Road poneglyphs and they each lead to an island. There are four in total and it is said that if you find all four you will be able to reach Raftel. One is here, Big mom has one, Kaido has one, and the other is missing." Viper frowned and said "Surely something as important as this wouldn't simply go missing." Viper and Robin shared a look and Viper sighed "I really hope it's not where I think it is..." Robin shook her head.

Luffy said "That's great!" Zoro said "How do you know so much?" Inuarashi said "Because the Kozuki family knew were the ones who invented Poneglyphs and made them around 800 years ago. However the knowledge how to read and write them ended with a man named Oden 20 years ago when he died." Viper said "Hold on. Oden died 20 years ago? And the little snake is his son? How does that make sense?" Kin'emon said "Oden's wife had a time fruit and sent us 4 to the future to take down Kaido." Viper slapped himself and said "She had a time fruit and didn't just go back to the past and kill Kaido when he was a baby?!" the crew just looked at them and Kin'emon said "She could only travel forward not backwards." Viper said "Ah. I see. Then just ignore me." the crew chuckled and Kin'emon said to Luffy "Please help us fight Kaido!"

Luffy looked at him and said "No. Is Momonosuke really the leader of the samurai? He looks like a crybaby to me." Viper nodded sagely and Momonosuke walked up to Luffy and said "I want to avenge my parents! I want revenge against Kaido!" Luffy stared at him for a long time before agreeing. Viper said "If you peek into the showers again though, I'll throw you off the ship." Momonosuke cheered and agreed. Luffy said "The Ninja-Mink-Pirate-Samurai alliance! But we have to go get Sanji first." Viper mumbled "And Reiju.." before receiving a slap.

The group went back outside and the Minks celebrated again. Viper was sitting in front of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi listening to them talk about their travels on Whitebeard's ship. Viper laughed and said "That damn old man! He's been everywhere!" the duo laughed and Viper revealed that he was actually a son of Whitebeard and that he inherited his will along with his power, he held up his hand and it glowed white. Viper sighed and told them about his time with the old man before stating he would make the old man proud with his power, causing the duo of Minks to smiled and drink with him.

All of a sudden, Zunesha, the giant elephant, started shaking. Luffy and Momonosuke heard a voice and said "I can hear a voice asking me to command it." Viper looked over and said "I guess it's the elephant's. Could someone be attacking the island?" Momonosuke said "I can see them! It's a big man with elephant horns!" Nami said "That's Jack!" Viper got up and said "Should I go?" Momonosuke said "There's no need, I can do it! Smash them to pieces!" the shaking stopped and Momonosuke said "I did it!" Viper asked "What did you do exactly?" Momonosuke said "I told the elephant to smash his trunk at them and they sank." Viper chuckled and said "Excellent, the 8 year old is killing people now." Zoro chuckled as the rest of the crew laughed.

The Minks rappelled down to bandage up Zunesha's leg and Momonosuke said "I want to stay here to talk with the elephant some more." Inuarashi said "I will stay with him and defend Zou, so we don't all show up at Wano at the same time." the rest nodded and Luffy tied Pekoms to his back and stepped on Viper's head to return to the Sunny and got get Sanji.

Nekomamushi said "Pedro will go with you." Wanda and another dozen girl minks said "We're going too." Nami snapped "For Viper?!" they all nodded and Nami sighed and rubbed her temples as she fell back on Viper's head saying "What did you do to them?" Viper was stunned and said "I only slept with two of them..." Nami punched his head and said "That's not what I meant!"Viper just snickered. Nekomamushi said "No! Pedro alone! You'll see him in Wano!" the girls reluctantly waved goodbye and Viper flew away carrying Luffy, Pekoms, Pedro, Brook, and Chopper.

They landed on the ship and Carrot popped out of Viper's feathers and faceplanted on the ground. Viper laughed at her and said "Enjoy the ride?" She got up and rubbed her nose saying "You knew?" Viper rolled his eyes and said "Of course I knew! You were inside my feathers!" as he reverted. The crew accepted that Carrot was there and sailed off to Whole Cake Island.
