Mink Tribe is a race that lives in Mokomo Dukedom on Zou Island which is on the back of a massive elephant. They are humanoid creatures with furry features, derived from animals, and are even rarer than the Fishmen.
The world of One Piece has a wide variety of minority races, including humanoid races such as the Longarm Tribe and the Longleg Tribe that have similar physical characteristics to humans, as well as subhuman races such as the Mink Tribe and the Fishmen.
Although they are not humans, their blood and some organs are indeed compatible with humans.
Many people discriminate against these races in their daily lives, viewing them as beasts. However, at auctions, these races fetch much higher prices than humans.
Mink Tribe has lived on Zou Island for generations, and because the massive elephant keeps walking on the sea, Zou Island does not have a fixed location. The only way to reach Zou Island is through a Vivre Card, and if lucky, one might also encounter Zou Island when it is passing nearby them.
Normally, Minks do not leave Zou Island, but there are exceptions. Some Minks choose to leave Zou Island on their own initiative and venture out to sea, while others accidentally fall off and cannot find their way home.
The prices of the Minks is also relatively high on the black market. The Organ Dealing Assassination Group, apart from the different outcomes, is similar to human traffickers in the process. They also take on unsold slaves and resell their organs.
Due to the compatibility of organs and blood with humans, some people are interested in the organs of these subhuman species. According to rumors in the black market, the bodies of these subhumans are even more powerful.
The king of West Blue believed in such rumors and wanted to use the organs of the Mink to treat his child’s congenital organ failure, hoping to make the child’s body stronger.
Coco brought the manager to the place where the Mink was being held. Unlike the other rooms, the interior decor here was poor, and the white wolf-like Mink inside was tied up like a rice dumpling.
Ever since she was captured and brought here, and she learned about their business, this Mink has been attempting self-harm. However, since it is an underage Mink, it was unable to put up much of a fight.
To preempt any potential problems caused by her in the future, the Organ Dealing Assassination Group wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
“Notify the surgical team that they can prepare to collect the goods. The heart and kidneys are the most important in this transaction. There absolutely cannot be any accident.”
“Yes, manager.”
He turned around and was about to arrange for the surgical team, but a sudden vibration caused him to slip and fall to the ground. Some debris fell from the ceiling, and the manager next to him looked at his shoulder with a very unpleasant expression, which had already been dirtied by dust.
“Earthquake?” Coco, who had fallen down, hadn’t figured out what had happened yet when someone stumbled in.
“Manager! Big…big big trouble! Someone is attacking us!”
“How is that possible?” Although their business had a notorious reputation, this was the first time someone had actively come to their door and attacked them. This was because their location was hidden, and few people could find their headquarters.
In addition, they possessed a certain level of power, which enabled them to conduct such business in the first place, making it very difficult to deal with them.
They already have connections with the World Government, so they were basically safe from Marine encircling and attacking them. While no pirate would bother to do this kind of thankless job.
The manager was very shrewd and would not provoke opponents he could not handle.
This was the first time in many years that they had been attacked, and the constant bombardment outside indicates that the matter was not small.
Outside, Beasts Pirates’ ships had already docked, and their artillery was firing at the building in the middle of the island, while their combat troops had already rushed out.
Although Kaido could choose to take matters into his own hands, what he wanted was powerful warriors, not waste that could only survive under protection. He would naturally take action against powerful people, but his subordinates also had to have their own combat capabilities.
However, the battlefield presented a situation of complete destruction. Organ Dealing Assassination Group rarely engage in large-scale frontal combat, and faced with powerful opponents, these people appeared too fragile.
“Imperial Archer!” With steel wings spread wide, King flew low over the battlefield like a sharp blade. His enemies had no defense against his high-speed flying, as he dominated the battle with rock blades and fireballs, causing the remaining members of the Beasts Pirates to feel like he was harvesting vegetables.
The tough enemies were all dealt with, and the remaining ones lost their courage and could not form any effective resistance. However, whether they resist or surrender, their fate will be the same. The objective of this operation is revenge, and there is no plan to spare anyone.
When the manager came outside, what he saw was a burning battlefield. Organ Dealing Assassination Group’s years of accumulation on this island were completely destroyed in an instant.
This made the manager’s heart bleed.
“What’s going on? Where did these people come from?”
“I don’t know. They suddenly appeared here and started bombarding us. From the flag, they are from the Beasts Pirates.”
“Beasts Pirates. When did we offend the people of Beasts Pirates?”
No one answered him. Who could know for sure this kind of thing? After all, those who work in their line of business often offend a lot of people.
From his pocket, the manager took out a Den Den Mushi and began to call for help from outside. Beasts Pirates were a rising star in the New World, and both their captain and crew members demonstrated formidable combat strength.
Pirates at this level is not something he and his subordinates could handle on their own. He needed support, and the Den Den Mushi quickly connected him to a pirate he had been building a relationship with during this period.
Although he has some business dealings with the World Government, their influence had little effect in the New World. Pirates were not officials of the World Government and did not have to worry about their “career.”
Only equally powerful pirates could make the other side feel wary.
“Mr. Perospero, it’s me. Do you remember me?”
Pirates also conducted business, and the Organ Dealing Assassination Group was also a member of the underworld. Big Mom Pirates have the most extensive connections with the underworld, and he also has some business dealings with the Big Mom. So, he has Perospero’s contact information.
“Oh, it’s you. What’s wrong?”
“We are being attacked by other pirates. The enemy is strong. I had mentioned to you before that I wanted to borrow Big Mom’s flag. What do you think?”
Pirates’ flags could not be borrowed at will. If someone uses the other party’s flag without permission and was later discovered, it would be a more serious matter.
Previously, he had this plan in mind, but both parties had some disagreements over the cost, so they hadn’t fully reached an agreement yet.
Perospero saw this as an opportunity to ask for exorbitant prices, so he inquired about who he was fighting against to determine an appropriate increase in price. However, when he heard the answer, his expression changed.
“What did you say just now?”
“I wanted to borrow your flag.”
“No, before that.”
“Do you remember me?”
“I don’t remember. Who are you, and how did you get this number?” After saying that, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.
