History
During the Timeskip
When the Beasts Pirates, led by Jack, invaded Zou in search of Raizo, Giovanni and the rest of the Inuarashi Musketeer Squad fought against them. When dusk fell, Giovanni and the musketeers fell back to allow Nekomamushi and the Guardians to take over the battle.
The battle against the Beast Pirates lasted for five days. On the fifth day of the battle, Jack lost his patience and unleashed Caesar Clown’s Koro gas, which left the Mink Tribe poisoned and drastically weakened. Giovanni, Shishilian and Concelot were among the minks crucified and tortured.
Dressrosa Saga
Dressrosa Arc
The following day, Jack left Zou after hearing about Donquixote Doflamingo’s defeat and capture.
and the minks were later saved when Sanji and his group came to Zou, who dispel the poison and heal the wounds of all.
Whole Cake Island Saga
Zou Arc
When Bariete rang the bell and spoke of the arrival of samurai, Giovanni and the rest of the minks rushed to Kurau City. When Kin’emon and Kanjuro revealed themselves, Giovanni and the minks welcomed them and revealed that Raizo was on Zou before standing proudly at having kept his presence a secret. Kin’emon showed Giovanni and the other minks the crest of the Kozuki Family on his back to confirm his allegiance. When Inuarashi and Nekomamushi reluctantly called a truce for the sake of Kozuki Momonosuke, whom they recognized as their lord, Giovanni and the rest of the minks were overjoyed.
When Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, the samurai, and the pirates returned from the Whale Tree with Raizo, Zou began shaking as Zunesha started crying out, throwing Giovanni and the others into a state of panic. Jack had returned and was attempting to destroy Zou by killing Zunesha, who retaliated on Momonosuke’s command and sank Jack’s fleet with one blow, calming down Giovanni and the others in the process.
Later on, Shishilian requested to accompany the Sanji retrieval team to Whole Cake Island along with Giovanni and Concelot, but was told to stay behind on Zou by Nekomamushi.
Wano Country Saga
Wano Country Arc
Having traveled with Inuarashi to Wano, Giovanni and his group found a severely injured Tama at a wasteland.
While having a discussion with Nami, Robin, Wanda, and Carrot in Amigasa Village two days before the raid on Onigashima, the Three Inuarashi Musketeers talked about how the weather conditions could affect their chances in battle. Giovanni mentioned that the full moon would be useless if it is blocked by clouds.
On the day of the Fire Festival, Giovanni joined the Straw Hats on the Thousand Sunny as they entered the battle with the Beasts Pirates. After disembarking on Onigashima, Giovanni joined the group led by Kin’emon. The group reached the Pleasure Hall owned by Black Maria. As they traversed through the area, they quickly hid themselves underwater when Big Mom looked outside from one of the nearby buildings. As Big Mom chased after the Brachio Tank V, Kin’emon led the rest of the force onward.
After the all-out war began, the minks waiting on the roof of the Skull Dome until Kaido arrived there with the Scabbards. When Jack and a platoon arrived, the minks then transformed into their Sulong forms and began decimating Jack’s forces. After a fierce battle, most of the minks were wounded from their fight against Jack. As Kaido created wind scythes with a roar, the wounded minks fled from the roof.
Giovanni and his fellow minks later went to the fifth floor of the castle and cleared a path for Luffy, enabling him to reach the roof unhindered.
A week after the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom, he enjoyed the festival in the Flower Capital with his friends.
After the festival, Giovanni joined the other minks, when Inuarashi and Nekomamushi gave Carrot the title of ruler of the Mokomo Dukedom, where they all supported her, since she possessed Pedro’s will.
