One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 374 Kumas Returns to Zou

The Promise Pirates:
Having completed the mission, Akagotomi immediately gave orders to rush back to the Infinity Pirates for dinner.

If you ask where the food is the best, even Akahima, who has eaten all over the world, has to admit that only the food at his home is the best.

It was because his father recruited many famous chefs from all over the world to join the Wuji Pirates, and almost all the meals at home were carefully prepared by those chefs.

After the food is prepared, it is secretly transported back home through the mirror world, which perfectly ensures the freshness of the food. There is no need to tie the chefs at home to cook. The chefs can do what they want and continue to improve their cooking skills.

"Wow, it smells so good, I'm back just in time!"

Li Yuan, Xia Qi, Yadina, Lazili, Asuna and others were just starting to eat when Chi Tong just happened to return home.

"Go wash your hands!"

Seeing so many delicious foods, Chi Tong immediately wanted to sit down and eat, but was glared at by Xia Qi.

"Okay mom, I'll go right away!"

After being glared at by Xia Qi, Chi Tong had no choice but to wash his hands before eating.

"Akagi, did you bring back those two devil fruits?"

Li Yuan asked while eating.

"I brought it back, dad. I'll give it to you after dinner."

Akame replied as she wolfed down her food.

"Kid, no one is trying to snatch it from you, eat slowly!"

Xia Qi saw oil stains flowing out of Chi Tong's mouth, so she picked up a handkerchief and helped Chi Tong wipe it clean.

"Mom, this food is so delicious, I can't slow down."

Even though her mother said so, Akahime still had no intention of slowing down.

Looking at her daughter who loves food, Xia Qi is helpless. Her daughter is good at everything except that she loves to eat. She especially loves to eat!
"It's just right that you're back. Tomorrow you can accompany Kumas to the ancestral land of the Fur Tribe!"

"I will let Kumasi conquer the Mink Tribe. You don't need to do anything, just follow him."

Li Yuan said.

"Ah? I just finished a mission, and now there's another one? Dad, can someone else go?"

When Chi Tong heard what her father said, she suddenly lost her appetite for food.

"No, just you go. You don't need to do anything anyway. You just follow there. Kumas will do the rest."

Li Yuan still doesn't know what kind of personality his daughter has. Besides loving to eat, she also loves to be lazy.

This kind of thing could actually be done by other cadres, but Li Yuan just wanted to train Akagi, and let Akagi have more contact and communication with other cadres of the Wuji Pirates. After all, Akagi will be developing in the Wuji Pirates in the future, so it would be good for her to accumulate more fame and prestige.

Kumas is a member of the Mink Tribe and a cadre of the Promise Pirates. Now he is strong enough, so Li Yuan arranged for Kumas to conquer the Mink Tribe.

No matter what, the Minks are a special race. Everyone in them possesses powerful static electricity abilities. They are a race of universal warriors. After being tamed, they can provide a large amount of low-level and middle-level combat power for the Promise Pirates.

"Okay then, I'll go tomorrow!"

Since his father had said so, Akagi had no choice but to continue eating like crazy, even to the point of eating all the food that he wouldn't be able to eat at home in the next few days!

The next day, Akame and Kumas set out from the Promise Pirates on a 500-meter-long steel battleship, followed by five 300-meter-long ships, heading for Zou, the ancestral land of the Minks!
"Princess Akame, after we get to Zou, you just need to stand behind me and help me with the battle. You don't need to interfere in the affairs between me and the Minks. I will successfully subdue the Minks!"

Kumas said to Akahime.

He was loyal to Li Yuan, and naturally respected Li Yuan's daughter Chi Tong. What's more, he had fought with Chi Tong before, and he lost, so he respected Chi Tong even more.

After all, the strong are worthy of respect, not to mention that this person is the daughter of his captain!
"Don't worry Kumasi, just do your job well, I won't interfere with you."

Akagi was also relaxed about this kind of thing. She didn't want to do anything unnecessary if she didn't have to.

Zou is on the body of a giant that has lived for a thousand years. This giant is extremely huge, with its limbs stepping on the sea. The depth of the sea cannot submerge half of its limbs. It can be said to be the largest creature in the world of pirates!
Kumas once lived in Zou. He secretly ran away from Zou because he was curious about the outside world. Later, he was caught by a slave group and became a slave. Finally, he was rescued by Li Yuan and stayed with Li Yuan.

Now, nearly twenty years have passed, and now, he is finally going back!

Under the leadership of Kumas, three days later, they finally found Zou, the giant statue drifting on the sea!

"Wow, what a big elephant! Has this elephant really lived for thousands of years?"

Akato's eyes lit up suddenly as she looked at the giant statue in front of her that was beyond her imagination. Rumors are truly worth seeing with your own eyes.

I really don’t know how long she will last if she roasts this huge creature, and I don’t know if it tastes good!
As he thought about it, Chitong's saliva was almost flowing.

"All the fur tribe and Princess Red Eye come with me, the rest of you stay here!"

At this moment, Kumas had no idea what terrible things Akagi was thinking about. He led twenty of his minions and climbed directly up from the elephant lord's thigh.

These twenty fur tribes were found from the sea. Many of them were once slaves. After being rescued by the Wuji Pirates, they were managed by Kumas.

"Moon Steps·Curse Shadow!"

Akahima's thoughts were interrupted by Kumas' words. Compared with Kumas and others who were climbing, Akahima flew up directly using the Moon Step.

After climbing onto the elephant master, Kumas led everyone directly to the town. As a member of the Fur Tribe, he had not forgotten the route here even though almost twenty years had passed.

"You returned to our Zou from the sea?"

After Kumas and others arrived at the town, they were stopped by a group of Musketeer Fur Tribe.

"Yes, my name is Kumas. I left Zou 20 years ago and now I am officially back to Zou!" "I found other tribesmen in the sea and brought them back!"

When Kumas saw his fellow Mink people, he said excitedly that after all, they were all of the same tribe. Seeing so many of his fellow tribesmen, Kumas felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Welcome home, Kumasi. I will report your situation to the king and everyone else. I think everyone should be happy to have you back!"

Anand from the Musketeers was also very happy after hearing what Kumas said. She was a very enthusiastic person and very tolerant towards her fellow tribesmen.

With the leadership of the Musketeers, Kumas and others quickly integrated into the Mink Tribe. After all, they were all of the same tribe.

The Minks are rare in number and they trust each other very much. Especially after hearing that Kumas saved twenty of his fellow Minks who were enslaved at sea and brought them all back, Kumas was recognized by most of the Minks!
After hearing about Kumas's incident, Albedo, the current king of the Minks, also rushed over.

"King, this is Kumas,"

Anand from the Musketeers introduces Kumasdao to Albedo.

"King, I am Kumasi, and today I have officially returned to Zou!"

Kumas said respectfully after seeing Albedo.

He is from the Mink tribe, and Albedo is the king of the Mink tribe. Although he is confident that he is stronger than Albedo, as the king of the Mink tribe, he deserves his respect!
"What is your purpose of coming back?"

After seeing Kumas, Albedo felt a strong sense of threat from Kumas. It was an instinctive threat that other people could not feel because the other fur tribes were not strong enough.

As the king of the Minks, he has been in office for thirty years and is over fifty years old. Naturally, he is not as naive as the other Minks and would not believe that Kumas, who has such strength, has no purpose in returning to Zou.

As soon as Albedo's words came out, the surroundings instantly became quiet. As the king of the Mink Tribe, Albedo's prestige is naturally very high. He said that Kumas came back for a purpose, and there must be a purpose!

"King, Kumasi should have no purpose. After all, he saved twenty of our people!"

"Kumas, explain this to the king!"

Seeing this, Anand immediately hurried to persuade them.

"King, since you asked, I'll tell you straight away. I came back this time to challenge you and become the king of the Fur Tribe!"

Seeing this, Kumas revealed his true colors. He wanted to become the king of the Minks, so he had to challenge the current king, Albedo! !
"What? Kumasi, what are you talking about? How can you provoke the king like this!?"

After hearing what Kumas said, the surrounding fur tribe members, and even Anand, had a very bad impression of Kumas. The king was a person respected by all of them, the fur tribe members, and what Kumas said was undoubtedly a provocation to the king's majesty!

"Hahahahaha, Kumas, you want to challenge me, then, if you become the king of the fur tribe, what do you want to do? Or what is your real purpose?"

Albedo was not angry at Kumas' words. Instead, he asked with a laugh.

He had been the king for more than 30 years, so naturally he wanted to find a successor, but there was no one in the entire Mink Tribe that satisfied him.

Now that he saw Kumas, he naturally included Kumas in the list of candidates.

He had gone to the sea to take risks before, so he naturally knew the importance of strong strength and how dangerous it was under the sea.

And since Kumas has been able to live under the sea for more than 20 years and still give him a sense of threat, there is no need to say more about his strength.

Kumas was able to save twenty of his fellow countrymen who had become slaves, so he was naturally qualified in terms of human character.

Then what remains is his real purpose.

"I am now a cadre of the Infinite Pirates. If I become the king of the Infinite Pirates, I will lead a group of people who are willing to go to the sea to join the Infinite Pirates. I will even take out an island under the sea and build it into another home for our Minks!"

"In this sea, strength is the most important thing. We, the Fur Tribe, are not strong enough, so we become the target of slave-hunting groups on the sea. They often capture our people and sell them as slaves!"

"So we, the Fur Tribe, must have our own strong power to make our entire tribe stronger."

"As the strongest pirate group on the sea today, the Wuji Pirates have enough power to protect our Minks. They also have many training systems that can make every member of our tribe stronger. The Wuji Pirates also have powerful medical skills that can allow all our babies to survive, instead of like now, where two-thirds of our babies die due to various problems!!"

"To lead our entire fur tribe to become stronger, strong enough to stand firm on the sea, strong enough to reproduce and produce more people in the future. This is the purpose of my return!"

Kumas said loudly and with a clear conscience.

This was his true inner thought. Although the captain asked him to subdue the Minks, he did not require him to move the entire Minks to the Wuji Sea. He only asked him to recruit a group of Minks to join the Wuji Pirates according to his own inner thoughts.

Kumas knew the captain very well. The captain was not like other cruel pirates who exploited his subordinates wantonly. This could be seen from the various benefits and rules of the Wuji Pirates.

So what he said was sincere. He really wanted the Minks to rely on the Wuji Pirates to become stronger and have their own territory on the sea like the Giants, instead of living on the Elephant Lord and hiding here all the time.

The reason why the Mink Tribe has a sparse population is not only because they are often captured, but also because various diseases lead to a low infant survival rate. These factors can be solved as long as they join the Wuji Pirates and rely on the powerful medical skills of the captain's wife Lazli!

"."

After hearing Kumas' words, both Albedo, the king, and the surrounding furries who thought Kumas was provoking the king, fell silent.

Indeed, just as Kumas said, the problems that Kumas mentioned about the Fur Tribe are what they care about most. If Kumas can really do it, it will be a historic success for the entire Fur Tribe!

"Kumasu, what you said is based on the premise that you can defeat me and become the true king!"

Albedo said seriously that he had recognized Kumas' ideal, but there was a gap called strength between ideal and reality.

"Come on, I will definitely win!"

Kumas said confidently.

Then, Kumas and Albedo came to an open area and prepared for a duel!

"The king actually wants to duel with Kumas who just returned, and it's a duel for the throne. This is too..."

The duel between Kumas and Albedo spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon the entire Mink Tribe knew about it, which also led to most of the Mink Tribe coming to watch the duel between the two.
