Talk:Mink Tribe

Bepo-Pekoms
I think that we can list Bepo and Pekoms as Minkmen without official confirmation. 20:00, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

Bepo and Pekoms, and Pappug, are animals who act human. Minks are humanoids with animal characteristics. They're not the same.

Merry, Mohji and Caesar fits the category

 * Maybe, but I think we need to settle this first.

Fair enough guys. @Nova thats also a speculation. 20:35, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

Aside for Pappug, whom we know for a fact is not a minkman, it is too soon to say anything about Bepo and Pekoms. Everyone else is speculation. 23:07, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

Now that Bepo is confirmed to be a Mink, I think it's safe to list Pekoms as one as well. They basically have the same characteristics like the dot-shaped eyes. 08:29, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, it's fairly confirmed at this point.

Why can't we just wait? 11:03, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Wait what? Do you think we will see soon again Pekoms with a character introduction box? I don't think so.

Yeah add him guys. The fact that he actually is one will probably be mentioned in quite a few years, when we will see more of him. 12:46, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Though he seems to be a minkmen, adding any unconfirmed information is unprofessional. 20:25, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

A confirmed information is not just one written.

This might seem like a bit of a non-sequitur, but can I remind everyone of the Saruyama alliance? It seems common for humanoid animal characters, who we would assume at this point are minkmen, to claim to be normal humans, or at least insist they are not the animal that they resemble. Is this perhaps to avoid outing themselves as minkmen, for fear of being captured as a slave? 24.138.142.79 21:18, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

We've seen talking sea creatures like Pappug in OP so for all we know Pekoms could be a talking turtle who ate a devil fruit that turns him into a lion. (He could have reverted back to a turtle against Caribou, not necessary transform into one.) --Sarutobii2 (talk) 21:27, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

I always thought Bepo is a talking bear because Law switched his heart with one. It's way too soon to consider ANYTHING. 21:41, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Bepo was explicitly confirmed to be a Mink in the latest chapter, Nada. It's just Pekoms we're debating now.

Anyway, I agree with what Levi has said here and the Pekoms talk page. If an obvious fishman appeared, we wouldn't hesitate to list them as one. Same should apply for minks. 21:52, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I hadn't read it yet. Well, I guess that answers that question then. 22:38, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

@Anon: to be honest, that is a good point, although in that case you can argue that they looked like animals but weren't actually so. Pekoms is definitely a talking lion, so it's a different case. I still believe there is no reason to doubt it anything else other then a mink. What are the alternatives? A talking animal like pappagu? Well but if that's considered a reasonable doubt, then it's even more for fishmen. I don't remember ever reading an argument like "it might not be a fishman but a talking animal" in the past, so at least for coherency I don't understand why we should start now.

And what I'm also trying to explain, is that you cannot use the "everything that is not explicitly said is a speculation" only sometimes. If you truly believe that, then why in the template Pedro and those two unnamed characters are listed as minks? Who said that monkey or Pedro was a mink? I didn't see an infobox saying so. Was that because we are on Zou? Well how can you say that there aren't "talking animals" on Zou?

See? IMO if you think it's reasonable to doubt of pekoms being a mink because it was never said so, then Pedro and the other two unnamed minks should also be removed from the template. Those and EVERY OTHER new character we will see on Zo that doesn't have an infobox saying it's a mink.

Race or Tribe

 * I think the Mink Tribe members are Minkman so there should be a different page for each of them. we don't know if every Minkman is a member of the Mink Tribe and not all members of the Mink Tribe are Minkmen (alligator-boar hybrid and the monkey). until we have more info, we shouldn't speculate that they are the same.
 * Should we note that every Minkmen weve seen was a MinkWomen?
