39 Zou
It took Kenshin and Momonosuke about 2 days to reach Zou. In these two days, Kenshin always called Momonosuke by the name of "pervert brat" who in turn started to call Kenshin "stupid faced bastard".
"Oye Perverted brat, is this Zou island", said Kenshin while pointed towards the humongous elephant that was slowly walking. Saying huge would be an understatement. The deep-sea only covers below his knees.
"Yes it is Zou and the island is on his back. My mother used to tell me about it", said Momonosuke with a sad face when talking about his mother.
"Oye brat don't cry and clear your snot on my back or I will drop you from here", said Kenshin diverting Momonosuke's attention from his dead family.
"You stupid faced bastard, just you wait for me to grow. I will beat you up", said Momonosuke with a smile. After that Kenshin just laughed and ran towards the elephant's back where the island was.
In these 5 days' time, Momonosuke had opened up to Kenshin a lot but still not enough to tell him about his family with his family and all.
After running Kenshin stopped in front of the gate of the city as he doesn't want to be thought of as an intruder or it will be a hassle. After Kenshin stopped in front of the gate, Kenshin spoke, "Now brat get down and start walking".
"No, I am tired. Let me rest", said Momonosuke.
"Brat you sure are enjoying", said Kenshin angrily but he didn't mind Momonosuke sitting on his shoulders.
After they were about to go through the gate when they were stopped by 2 guards who were guarding it. Both of them were of Dog tribe Waring different dresses but had a blue colored coat over their shoulders.
"What are you doing here", said one of the guards.
"We don't welcome intruders. So go back or we will attack", said the other guard.
"Wait, don't attack us. We are not intruders or something. We have come here to talk with your leaders. Please call them, they will understand and this is a secret message. So I can't tell it you guys", said Kenshin.
"Humph, you human trying to fool us. Our leaders Inuarashi sama and Nekomamushi sama have no dealing with humans. Just go back", said the guards.
"Can you please inform him about us at least", said Kenshin.
"No means No", said the guards. Seeing them Kenshin was about to use Haoshoku Haki to make them unconscious when Momonosuke who was on the back spoke.
"Tell them Momonosuke, the heir to Kozuki family has come", said Momonosuke with a loud tone so that everybody could hear him. And hearing him everybody was startled and surprised. They started to greet us in a friendly tone.
"Sir. You should have said so", said one of the guards.
"Okay, sir you come in. I will inform Inuarashi sama", said the other guard.
"Oye perverted brat, you should have said that you are some big shot", said Kenshin with fake anger. He knew about Momonosuke but since they(kinemon and Momonosuke) haven't told them about their past, they didn't know.
"Hmph now you know my status, so show me respect you bastard", said Momonosuke.
"Respect? Pah you brat shut up or I will make your ass like a baboon's ass", said Kenshin. (Well Kenshin sees his own grandchildren from his past life in Momonosuke sometimes so he is playful with him).
Momonosuke just grinds his teeth angrily. After that they entered the gate that was in front of Kenshin was a beautiful city. Though there were mosses over the building, it only increased his beauty. The building appears to have seen the ravages of time.
And the water canals that were connected with the Zunisha's back make the city look more beautiful. After that Kenshin and Momonosuke ate in one of the stalls. After that, they were roaming around the town when somebody came and guided them towards Inuarashi's office/room.
"Welcome Lord Momonosuke", said Inuarashi and all of the minks behind him while getting on their knees. Inuarashi is about 5 meters in height and wearing white pants, back and yellow long shirt with a black coat draped over his shoulders.
Momonosuke went from Kenshin's back to confront them and said, "I am Kozuki Momonosuke, heir to the Kozuki Family. Please get up".
"Thank you Momonosuke sama", said the Mink tribe members while getting up.
"Momonosuke sama, we have waited 20 years for this day", said Inuarashi with slight tears in his eyes.
After that Inuarashi looked at Kenshin and said, "What are you doing with Momonosuke sama, you Devil". Kenshin is now really irritated with this. Why does he have to explain to everybody what he is doing? But he still calmed down.
"Nothing personally. I am just here to bring Momonosuke while Kinemon will bring Zanjuro along with the rest of my crew-mates", said Kenshin.
"Crewmates? So you have a crew now", asked Inuarashi.
"Yes and don't ask any more questions about me. Just take this perverted brat and discuss with yourself whatever you want", said Kenshin while moving away.
"What did you say you bastard to our Lord Momonosuke sama", said the mink tribe members behind Inuarashi.
"Calm down you guys. Even if both that stupid cat and me fought together, we can't defeat him", said Inuarashi which surprised the minks as they didn't think that the man would be so powerful.
"Oh, you got some problem with that. He is a lord to you but for me, he is only a perverted brat who likes to grab women boobs", said Kenshin plainly. This shocked the Inuarashi and the minks that their young lord is a pervert. But they still attributed it to Kinemon not taking care of their Lord.
"Oye you bastard even after knowing mu status you still are disrespecting me", said Momonosuke.
"Oh now getting cocky are we? Do you seriously want me to make your ass like a baboon? If you repeat this shit about your status again I will make it happen", said Kenshin.
After that Kenshin and Momonosuke were seating on a sofa and Inuarashi was talking small stuff with Momonosuke about the past. It was then a fat cat about 5-meter height with large yellow and black clothes and a red and yellow coat draped over his shoulders. He was Nekomamushi duke of night.
As soon as he came, he has the same expression as Inuarashi, he bends down on his knees and with eyes full of tears he said, "Welcome back Lord Momonosuke. We have waited for 20 years for this moment my Lord".
After that Kenshin excused from them as he was not interested in hearing their story about how Momonosuke peed his pants and all those things when he was a baby. After that Kenshin just roamed around and tried their food.
Kenshin was happily gobbling down the tasty food the minks have made. After that Kenshin went to an amusement park which was probably destroyed in Jack's attack. After that, he was just roaming when he saw two ladies were coming from behind.
And one of them dashed towards him and used the electro ability using her paws to attack. Kenshin just used Haki to coat his fingers and catch her paws as this much electricity is weak to affect him. Seeing that he caught her so easily, she was surprised but she still kicks Kenshin's neck using the electro ability.
While she was in the middle of kicking, Kenshin just throws her with one hand which made her imbalanced but she revolves in the air and stabilized herself and looked at Kenshin.
"You two sure are very rude women. Attacking me with a sneak attack who has brought your guest nonetheless", said Kenshin with a smile.
"Hmph we were just checking the strength of Blood Devil and checking if you sure are strong or not", said one of them.
"Sorry for my friend's rudeness", said the other.
These two are Wanda and Carrot. Wanda is a comparatively tall woman with a dog head but the body of a human. She has a perfect figure and was wearing a revealing dress like Nami. And carrot was rabbit faced with long ears from behind her head and her body was that of a human. She also had a perfect figure but she was wearing a one-piece dress and had claw-like gloves in her hand.
"No, it's okay. And can you show me around and also my accommodation", said Kenshin. To which they both nodded.
"Ne ne Kenshin, you-teia have traveled in the sea's right? How does it feels", asked Carrot excitedly.
"Outside world. Hmm it is dangerous if you are weak but it is also very nice, there are so many people and so many different places like this Mokumo Dukedom", said Kenshin.
"Oh, I want to go to the seas too", said Carrot.
"Carrot, you-teia are not going anywhere. You are a part of Guardians and it is your job to protect the forest", said Wanda.
"Wanda, I want to go and enjoy like Pedro and others", said Carrot.
"No, you are still young", said Wanda. Carrot was about to say something when Kenshin said, "Well I can allow you to come with us and even train you but you will have to teach me how you use the electricity".
"You mean our ability "Electro". Every mink can use it but we can use it from the birth", said Carrot.
"Okay then-new deal, I will train you and you will show me how you use Electro and I will inspect it to know more. Say Deal", said Kenshin.
"Deal. Garuchu", said Carrot and chewed Kenshin's ear. Kenshin saw her coming but she didn't have any bad intention, so Kenshin allowed her to chew his ears.
"Wait wait, but you can't use it. We minks are the only ones to born with this ability", said Wanda.
"Well you see, like yours, I also have the ability to release energy but they are neutral", said Kenshin while showing his ki.
"Ohh, in that case, it's okay and trains me too. I use a sword and you can help me in return I will do the same", said Wanda. To which Kenshin just nodded as it is better if more people demonstrate this ability.
Kenshin then thought, "Last time the ninjutsu didn't work so I didn't go in deeper about it as my ki is only physical one and to practice ninjutsu one need to have physical and spiritual ki which is called chakra.
But after studying how their ability works, I can just use Raikage's ninjutsu and technique from DBZ where one convert ki into electricity, I would be able to do the same and even more powerful as there is a destructive element with addition to my massive ki".
