Third Person POV

Territory of the Pirates of the Dawn.

...

...

All the Red Scabbards gathered at Oden's grave, a moment after learning of Momonosuke's arrival along with his companions, after 20 years.

While Hiyori stood there beside her brother, with their companions explaining what had truly happened in Wano, Luffy stood off in a corner, arms crossed, silently watching them.

"And to think that Kanjuro would betray us..."
One of them couldn't help but murmur with disgust as he turned his gaze toward their former comrade, now fallen after facing Luffy.

They had clearly heard the account of what happened from Kin'emon and Raizo, following an order from Luffy to reveal who Kanjuro was truly loyal to, stating that he would have to show loyalty to Orochi by killing Oden's son.

And he really would have done it if Luffy hadn't stopped him.

It was a shock to everyone. Despite Luffy having already told some of them before the war, no one believed it at first. But now the accounts were undeniable.

It was at that moment that he saw Kin'emon and Raizo approaching him, as they fell to the ground near him.

"You saved Wano from the rule of Kaido and Orochi. Thank you very much."
They were expressing their gratitude, just like the other Red Scabbards had done when the war ended.

"No need to thank me. I didn't do it all alone. Besides, Wano also rose up for the war, proving there was still the strength to fight in the hearts of the people..."
Luffy said calmly.

"Anyway... Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, could you come here? I'd like to talk to you."
Luffy requested as the Minks, a bit confused, nodded.

Looking at the two Minks, who had remained in Wano and hadn't returned to Zou in the past two months, due to Luffy's request, who intended to go to Zunesha with them.

The two exchanged curious glances as Luffy observed Momonosuke, still speaking with the members of the Red Scabbards.

He was certainly still quite cowardly, but Luffy would change that in him.

Anyway, he turned back to the two Minks.

"It's time to return to Zou. Actually, it's more than that."
Luffy continued.
"I intend to bring Zunesha into my territory."
He said, surprising the two.

"What do you mean by that? You can do that?"
They both asked in shock, their voices raised.

No one believed they could move Zou wherever they wanted, after all, the thirty-five-thousand-meter elephant simply wandered aimlessly through the sea.

"I didn't before, but now I do. Kozuki Momonosuke can do it."
Luffy said, not knowing exactly what his connection to Zunesha was, but it existed, and he could give orders to the giant elephant... Luffy suspected it had something to do with his blood.

Maybe it was thanks to an ancestor, who might have imprisoned Zou for some reason in the past, and Luffy knew that Zou was paying for its sins, as Zunesha only responded to those with Kozuki blood, especially those born with the natural power of the voice of all things — which Momonosuke had also been born with — something that not even Lucy, his sister, had fully awakened yet, but Momonosuke had a natural power over Zou.

"Momonosuke will make Zunesha come here."
Luffy explained this to the Minks, who were stunned.

"Incredible, Oden-sama also had something to do with Zunesha, although we never really saw them talking to each other."
The two Minks shared something similar about Oden.
