'I was completely silent, with all the warriors of the fallen race, even their leaders, while only a few minks managed to stand up. Most, however, remained motionless on the ground. Their eyes, filled with feelings and questions, were fixed on Bepo.

Meanwhile, in front of them, Bepo stood still, knowing the fight wasn't over yet. Suddenly, Nekomamushi started to move and brought his paw down, pressing it against the ground as he trembled while rising, his gaze still locked on Bepo, determined. The same could be said for Inuarashi, who struggled to his feet with as much difficulty as his companion.

"We won't lose like this, no matter who you are," Inuarashi said with frustration.

"Yes..." Nekomamushi spoke, standing in front of everyone there.

As the Samurai watched, stunned. He had a message to deliver: a chance to fight against Kaido and possibly join the Straw Hats. He had not imagined he would encounter some members of this crew here, with a giant white Mink he didn't know, overpowering all the other minks.

"You want to fight? I understand that... very well, let's continue!" Bepo said with confidence. He wasn't exerting himself to defeat them. Maybe his opponents hadn't entered Sulong mode like he had, so, to not completely humiliate his future comrades, he returned to the group that came with him.

"Give me the Rumble Balls, it's time to see their true potential," Bepo said confidently, while Jinbei reached into his pocket, pulled out two yellow balls, and threw them to each of the leaders.

They caught them as they stood up, looking at Bepo with confusion.

"With this, you can transform into Sulong mode too, prepared by our doctor," Bepo said, pausing before continuing.

"You won't win like this, so it's better if you transform," Jinbei said seriously.

Around the area, everyone watched with curiosity. Each of the leaders took the small ball, looking at each other cautiously. They didn't know why, but they simply swallowed them, trusting the words, as they saw no reason for them to be lying. Minks are easy to convince when you're sincere.

Nothing happened in the first few seconds, but then, under everyone's watchful eyes, thunder and lightning began to envelop their bodies as they grew, entering Sulong mode, astonishing all the minks who were watching.

"This?!"

"Is it possible...?"

"I can't believe they're really doing it!"

The minks were all stunned, expressing their surprise.

"Good... They really changed," Bepo commented, satisfied to see it actually happen.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi entered the form they only used once a month. When they transformed into Sulong and fought each other, the destruction was not small in Zou. However, now they didn't need to fight each other, as they had a common enemy.

"This!"

"It really worked, I feel stronger!"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi began inspecting their bodies, realizing their strength had multiplied, feeling intoxicated by the power.

Bepo looked on, satisfied: "You look strong, but will you be able to make me use my Devil Fruit?" he said with a superior tone.

"Don't underestimate me, polar bear! I'm the strongest dog mink!" Inuarashi declared.
