Nekomamushi

"Master Nekomamushi" is a feline mink and the ruler of the Whale Forest on Zou, dubbed the "King of Night". He rules over Mokomo Dukedom during the night hours, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

Appearance
Nekomamushi is a large feline mink with sharp teeth, claws, and a very thick striped tail. He wears a large robe with circles on it.

Personality
Nekomamushi took care of Bepo and the other Heart Pirates when they arrived on Zou, indicating a welcoming personality.

When his home was threatened, Nekomamushi is shown to be vicious, saying he would devour any intruder.

Abilities and Powers
Carrot acknowledges him as the "Big Boss" of the forest, indicating that he possesses some kind of authority over the forest's inhabitants.

His fighting ability is said to be equal to his daytime counterpart and former friend Inuarashi. Indeed, both were shown to be able to fight on even footing with one of a Yonko's three strongest subordinates for an extended period of time, further proving their combat abilities.

Nekomamushi possesses incredible physical strength, as he was able to flip Jack over in his mammoth form.

He is also very fast, as he was able to travel from the Whale Forest to Kurau City in a matter of seconds.

Past
In the past, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were friends. For unknown reasons, they came to hate each other and they decided that Inuarashi will rule Zou during the day while Nekomamushi would rule during the night.

When Jack and the Beasts Pirates invaded the Mokomo Dukedom, Nekomamushi arrived to challenge Jack when dusk arrived, flipping him over and forcing him to revert to human form.

The Mink Tribe had the upper hand until Jack used one of Caesar Clown's poison gas weapons.

When Bepo and the Heart Pirates arrived on Zou, Nekomamushi took care of them because even though Bepo is a native of the island, he is still a pirate.
