Guardians

The Guardians are the nocturnal combat force of the Mokomo Dukedom, serving under Master Nekomamushi. They also are the protectors of the Whale Forest, attacking any invaders.

Past
Ever since Nekomamushi and Inuarashi had a falling out, the guardians have served under Nekomamushi as guardians of the Mokomo Dukedom, especially the Whale Forest.

When Jack and the Beasts Pirates invaded the Mokomo Dukedom, the Inuarashi Musketeers originally went to fight them, but when the clock tolled 6:00, they retreated and left the Guardians to continue the fight. The Guardians promptly rushed in and began their attack.

Zou Arc
When Monkey D. Luffy entered the Whale Forest without ringing the Bell of Welcome, he was attacked by a few Guardians, and several more lay in wait in the shadows. However, they were told to call off the attack and retreat by Wanda.

Abilities and Powers
Not much is known about the Guardians except that they mainly operate during the night hours (from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM), taking over the Mokomo Dukedom's combat duties from Duke Inuarashi, the Musketeers and the civilian minks. Their leader, Nekomamushi, is stated to rival Inuarashi, the strongest mink on Zou, in terms of strength.

Pirate crews stationed on Zou, such as the Heart Pirates, are required to be under the supervision of the Guardians, being unable to leave the Whale Forest.

Organization
The Guardians are led by Nekomamushi and take orders from him. So far, the only Guardians shown have been males. Although they operate mostly during the night, they still guard the Whale Forest during the day despite the lack of Nekomamushi's presence. When Nekomamushi was not active, the Guardians were shown taking orders from Pedro, although the exact hierarchy is unknown.
