ĭespite their present-day enmity, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi agreed to form a truce in order to avoid agitating Momonosuke and while reminiscing about their past adventures, they became very jolly and friendly with each other again.
Upon accidentally meeting, they exchanged hostile words and insults before preparing to enter a battle to the death despite their respective injuries. Because of this, they avoid meeting face-to-face. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were once friends, but their friendship became strained after Oden's execution as the two minks blamed each other for Oden's death. Like the rest of the canine minks, Inuarashi finds Brook to be delicious because of his body of bones, but was willing to let him recover and chew on him later after seeing his injuries. However, he is also firmly loyal and possesses an incredibly strong will, having absolutely refused to reveal Raizo's presence on Zou despite the brutal torture at the hands of Jack even when he lost his leg, and was fully willing to risk the kingdom's destruction in order to protect his friend. During the brutal interrogation by the Beast Pirates for Raizo's whereabouts, Inuarashi pleaded with Jack and his men to spare his citizens from their brutality despite being subjected to horrendous torture himself. He cares immensely for his people and their rich cultural history, to the extent that he was willing to lay down his sword to reason with Jack and the Beasts Pirates and would have allowed them to search for Raizo if they ceased their attack. He also holds strong contempt for Nekomamushi, who he insultingly called a Monster Cat due to the latter's aggressive and wild personality.ĭespite being the strongest warrior on Zou, Inuarashi prefers diplomacy over aggression when dealing with hostile parties. Due to his gentleman sophistication, Inuarashi strongly dislikes barbarism, as he was greatly shocked by Jack's completely unreasonable and violent nature. He refers to himself with "watashi" and always speaks to people including enemies in a very courteous manner. Inuarashi has a very refined and sophisticated personality as he is very polite and soft-spoken in speech. He was eager to meet the Straw Hat Pirates after they saved the Mink Tribe, indicating a grateful personality, and he downplayed his strength when he was complimented by Luffy. Inuarashi is a kind, noble, and humble mink who is deeply loved and respected by his people due to his great benevolence. Later during the raid on Onigashima, it is revealed that he has replaced it with a sword. While being tortured by Jack, Inuarashi lost his left leg. Like all the retainers of the Kozuki Family, Inuarashi bears the family crest somewhere on his body. After waking from his coma, he wore a king-like robe, and his head and torso were covered in bandages.
ĭuring the battle against Jack, he wore a dark-colored striped suit with a frilled collar, a belt, a light-colored cape, and a helmet. He wears a small pair of blue sunglasses and has shoulder-length black ears, a white beard, and a large and bushy tail. Inuarashi is an incredibly large and grizzled canine mink.
