Inuarashi Musketeer Squad

The Inuarashi Musketeer Squad is the main diurnal combat force of the Mokomo Dukedom that serves under Duke Inuarashi. It is the daytime counterpart of the Guardians who serve Nekomamushi. Among them are three minks known as the "Three Inuarashi Musketeers" led by Sicilian.

Past
The Musketeer Squad mainly operates at daytime, from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, leaving the combat duties to the Guardians during the night.

When Jack and the Beasts Pirates raided the Mokomo Dukedom, Inuarashi led the Musketeer Squad to help protect the citizens. When Jack refused Inuarashi's offer of a truce, the Musketeer Squad met the Gifters in battle. However, when the clock struck 6:00 pm and Nekomamushi awoke, Inuarashi ordered them to retreat so the Guardians could take over. The battle lasted for five days, with the Musketeers switching in during the day.

After Jack and the Beasts Pirates destroyed Kurau City with Caesar Clown's poison gas weapon Koro, many of the Musketeers were massacred and some were crucified. The Curly Hat Pirates arrived a day later, discovered the fallen minks, and saved them from death. Many Musketeers took refuge in the Right Belly Fortress, treating the Straw Hat Pirates who had saved them like royalty.

Zou Arc
When the ruler's aides Wanda and Carrot brought the other Straw Hat Pirates to the Right Belly Fortress, the Musketeers had a banquet to celebrate. It was later reported that Inuarashi had woken from his coma, and the Straw Hats watched as Sicilian threw some Musketeers into a pit for being too soft. When he saw the Straw Hats, Sicilian thanked them for saving the Mokomo Dukedom. As night fell, all the Musketeers fell asleep.

The next day, Inuarashi led the Musketeers to Kurau City to search for the samurai that had entered, but this resulted in Inuarashi and Nekomamushi meeting and getting into a fight. The samurai then revealed themselves, and the Musketeers knelt before them, revealing that Raizo was safe and they had risked their lives to protect him.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi reluctantly made peace to please their master Kozuki Momonosuke, causing the Musketeers and Guardians to celebrate. They planned to throw a party to commemorate this, excited that their sleep schedules would no longer be rigid.

Abilities and Powers
Not much is known about them, but in a country made up of the Mink Tribe, where even the civilians are considered warriors, they are seemingly stronger. It is said that they had to undergo hellish training to receive such a spot. So far they have been armed with swords or paw-like gloves. Several of them are capable of using Electro just like the other minks, and some use it through their weapons. Despite their name, none of them have been seen using muskets or any other form of firearms.

They, like their master, Duke Inuarashi, are active only from 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM, and pass on their nighttime duties to Nekomamushi's Guardians, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The exception are the ruler's aides, who act as communication for the two Rulers.

The Three Inuarashi Musketeers are the strongest of the Musketeers and have authority over the rest of the squad.

Organization
The Musketeer Squad is comprised of a mix of male and female minks. They are led by the Three Inuarashi Musketeers, who they take orders from. Every musketeer also answers to Duke Inuarashi.

Trivia

 * The name of the squad is a reference to the novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.
