One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 136 Old and New

"Pirate? Wow, boy, you want to be a pirate before you're even weaned? Wait until you become an adult." Kaido smiled and rubbed Pedro's furry head. It has to be said that the touch was really good.

"I'm not a kid anymore! I can decide things by myself!" Pedro wanted to move Kaido's hand away, but with his strength how could he be Kaido's opponent? Not to mention, his whole body might not even weigh as much as Kaido's palm.

"Pedro, you just said you have parents, so before you come of age, you need to ask your parents about such important matters, and being a pirate is not a good career." Lily slapped Kaido's hand away, helped Pedro tidy up the messy hair on his head and said.

"My parents were pirates before? My mom told me that we, the fur tribe, went out to sea to be pirates, so I want to go out to sea to be a pirate like my parents!"

Kaido and Lily were stunned by Pedro's words. Are they all going to be pirates? Oh, yes, since there is also the legend of Joy Boy here, they must be against the World Government, and naturally they will not be dogs for the World Government. But no matter what, Kaido and Lily will not kidnap a four-year-old child with parents to become a pirate. Unlike Xia Ji and other children adopted on the island, they are all orphans.

"Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo, how about this, kid? Go back and ask your parents. If they agree with you becoming a pirate, we can naturally take you with us when we leave. Of course, let me make it clear first, the training in my pirate group is very hard, and if you are not strong enough you will be kicked out. But if your parents don't agree, woo-lo-lo-lo-lo, then don't blame us. Wait until you are an adult and can make your own decisions, if you still want to, you can come to me."

Kaido thought about it and came up with a compromise. This little guy looked very stubborn. Instead of wasting time talking to him, it would be better to let his parents educate him.

Sure enough, when Pedro heard about going home to see his parents, his face immediately wilted. If his parents agreed, he would have gone out to sea long ago, and there would be no need to come to see Kaido and Lily so early in the morning.

Looking at Pedro's expression, Kaido and Lily naturally knew what was going on. They packed up their things with a smile. Kaido picked up Pedro, and Lily held Yamato and Jack, and they walked towards the village together. However, after a few steps, they met Duke Goat Khan who was hurriedly coming with his musketeers.

"Pedro! You little brat are running around again!" A male leopard fur musketeer who followed Duke Sihan the Goat saw Pedro being held in Kaido's hand at a glance, and started scolding him without thinking.

"Dad!" Pedro screamed when he saw the person coming and started to struggle instantly, but there was no way a four or five-year-old child could escape from Kaido's grip. He was still held tightly. Kaido exerted force on his hands and pushed forward. Pedro flew twice in the air and fell into the arms of a leopard fur musketeer.

"Wu la la la la la, boy, didn't you say that your parents don't care about you? Look for yourself, is this what you call not caring?" Kaido said with a big laugh.

"Thank you both. Pedro likes to run around, which is fine at normal times. But yesterday the Elephant Lord spewed fire too many times. We don't know what's in the forest, and we're afraid that these children may be in danger. Thank you both for your help." Duke Goat Sihan walked forward and saluted Kaido and Lily. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kaido and Lily meant no harm.

"Oh, it's okay. The kid wanted to go out to sea, so he came to me and said he wanted to be a pirate. But he's too young. I won't accept him unless he's an orphan." Kaido waved his hand. Although he looked down on the beliefs of the Mink people, as the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. He couldn't give too much to the respectful Duke Sihan of Goat.

"No matter what, thank you both. We were a little bit neglectful of you yesterday. Please follow me. I have something to discuss with you two."

Hearing what Duke Goat Khan said, Kaido and Lily smiled at each other. They guessed that Duke Goat Khan ran into the forest so early in the morning not just to find his child, but the reason for his anxiety was most likely because of the child.

"Okay, let's talk about it." Lily nodded, and the group came to the house of Duke Shansihan.

Because of the special geographical environment of Zou, the house of Duke Yang Sihan is not a palace. It is just a little bigger than other people's houses. The so-called throne is also made of stone.

"Please have some tea, both of you." Duke Yang Sihan was holding two large bowls. Since there were no suitable cups for Kaido and Lily, they had to use bowls instead. Fortunately, Kaido and Lily were not the kind of people who cared about these things. They were just a little thirsty, so Kaido drank the tea in one gulp.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Kaido asked.

"It's like this. After yesterday's conversation, I thought about it all night and found that you two are right. The Minks have been isolated for too long. Although there are people who go out to sea, that is generally an isolated phenomenon. Most people stay in Zou for their entire lives. Although we keep talking about salvation and dawn, we have never worked hard. We just stay here and wait for the so-called destined person. Our vision is too short-sighted."

Duke Goat Sihan shook his head. He hadn't slept all night, thinking over and over again about Kaido and Lily's words, as well as the elephant lord's silence. He found that he had the ambition to go out to sea to have a look, but after becoming king, he only wanted to guard his little piece of land and follow the so-called ancestral system.

If I count my achievements over the years, the only thing I can think of is that I can remember the names of everyone on the island, but what's the use of this? Can it provide a better future for the Minks? Can it bring a bright future to the Minks? It seems that it can't.

Not only does he need to change, the Minks also need to change. Over the years, no one has ever suggested letting the Minks go out to take a look. Only a few individuals went out to sea. This is not normal at all. Kaido and Lily were right. They have been domesticated from ferocious beasts with sharp teeth to docile pets.

"It's not too late to figure it out. From now on, from this moment on, make changes little by little, change your practices, change your horizons, and finally summarize the real thoughts through your own experience, instead of imitating the ancients. It's not that what the ancients did was wrong, but time is passing, and the times are changing. With the development of the times, many things need to change. For example, people used torches in the past, and then candles, and then oil lamps and even electric lights appeared. From the earliest sticks picked up as weapons to the swords and guns today, everything in the world is developing, and so are people and thoughts. If you don't keep up with the times, you will be completely swept into the garbage dump and never get out of it again."

Lily's tone was much gentler than yesterday. In fact, the situation in Zou was very similar to that in Wano Country. However, because the number of the Minks was too small, their thoughts were more unified, there was no class distinction, and their nature was relatively kind. As a result, the situation of the Minks did not seem as serious as that in Wano Country. However, deep-rooted ideas were also a problem.

"Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo, Lily is right. Old things will always be replaced by new things, just like the world government that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. It is arrogant and self-righteous. One day, they will all be swept into the garbage dump by me. Tell them that times have changed! The wind of freedom will blow to every corner of the world! The time will come when everyone can choose their own future! Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo."

Kaido laughed. Yes, that's right, another pioneer. Like Ono Hayashizo, Duke Goat Khan is also a pioneer in Kaido's eyes. In fact, the conditions for becoming a pioneer are very simple. Open your mind and look forward. When you see the road that is tortuous and muddy but leads to the light, choose to go on unswervingly, then this person becomes a pioneer.

The pioneers will infect more people who cannot identify the direction to move forward together. With time and hard work, Kaido and Lily believe that one day, it will not only be the pioneers who walk on this road, but all those who want to make the world a better place.
