One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 207 Kaido's Economic Teaching and the Depressed Izo

"Gulp, gulp, gulp, ah——" Kaido drank a bottle of wine in one breath and exhaled happily, but no matter how Kaido smacked his lips, it still felt like something was missing.

"Newgate, your bounty is only 4.5 billion Baileys, can't you get some good wine? Try it, this wine is strong but has no flavor. It's far worse than our Beasts' shochu." Kaido looked at Whitebeard with a squinting look.

"Drink yours. I don't have as much money as you. It's good enough to have something to drink." Whitebeard rolled his eyes at Kaido, expressing his contempt for this guy who never cared about money.

Speaking of which, the development of the Beasts is a wonder. As a pirate group, they have never used plunder as a source of funds, even in the early days of the pirate group. As soon as they came, Dressrosa took the initiative to approach them and easily obtained the first pot of gold. Then, relying on the strength of Kaido and Lily, they quickly gained a foothold. At the same time, they continued to expand their territory through trade. In addition, their own policies directly led to the good reputation of the Beasts. The rich wanted to do business with the Beasts, and the common people wanted to overthrow the mountains above their heads with the Beasts. As for the only aristocrats who were offended by the evil policies? Whose sons would they live or die.

"So I think you are too stupid. How can you make a living by looting every day? Even if you rob those nobles, it is meaningless. As long as they are alive, you can continue to collect taxes from their subordinates. There is no loss inside or outside. You have to learn to make them give you money willingly." Kaido rubbed his fingers in front of Whitebeard and said.

"Willingly? What do you mean?" Whitebeard also became interested. If you have money, who doesn't want to drink some good wine? If you have money, your hometown will be better. If you have money, your sons won't have to pay for the next drink. As a father, he feels ashamed to drink his sons' wine every day.

"Think about it, you have a lot of islands under your control, and they all fly your flag and are protected by you. That's nothing, but you don't care about anything and just let them fend for themselves. Then they take a portion of the money every year. Then what? How much can they get? If they have the ability to make money, why don't they become members of the World Government? Although I look down on the World Government, I also know that for ordinary people, becoming a member state is a good thing." Kaido talked freely.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Whitebeard was sure that Kaido was not joking, and immediately listened more seriously, like a primary school student humbly seeking advice.

"You have to learn how to integrate. Each island has its own advantages and use them. They don't know what makes money, but you don't know? Even if you don't know, you can find out through your connections in the black market. What things are priced high and in great demand in the black market right now? Go get them from whichever island you can. If not, hire two people who understand economics to keep a close eye on them and don't let them run away. It's not shameful." Kaido said as Whitebeard took notes. Yes, Whitebeard was afraid that he would forget, so he even took out a pen and paper. After all, he also knew how prosperous the Hundred Beasts' business was. There was no one in this new world who was not jealous. However, with the Hundred Beasts' powerful military force as a backing, no one wanted to touch this brow for the time being except the ignorant young men. Now that Kaido took the initiative to teach, Whitebeard naturally had to seize the opportunity.

"Also, it's not that we should just buy whatever is expensive on the black market, that would be a mess. We also need to adapt to local conditions. It's also important what this island is good at, especially what specialties it has, such as fertile land? Suitable for growing things? Then grow suitable things, such as minerals? All kinds of things? You can use them all. Remember, don't force it. If there is really nothing, use it as a window to the outside world if it is convenient for water transportation, and use it as a warehouse if it is close to the territory. In short, make the best use of it. In this way, it is definitely better than collecting protection fees." Kaido said, and took another sip of wine. It didn't seem too good, but at least it was strong enough, right? It was okay as long as it could be swallowed.

"And this will get the people in your territory moving. They will need to do a good job of protecting you then, so it's just right to let your son out to gain experience. Everyone will have their own place to be responsible for, which is better than staying here with you every day. Of course, you can't just go out whenever you want. First of all, you need to have some strength. At least you need to learn Haki and set a standard. This will kill two birds with one stone." As Kaido spoke, he returned to his old job. He is worthy of being the most recognized teacher in the pirate world and he never forgets to teach.

"Thank you, Kaido." After confirming that Kaido had nothing to say, Whitebeard closed his notebook and thanked him solemnly.

"Well, it's not a big deal. But you have to be careful. Don't be so cruel as to not dare to let your son go out. You will be exhausted to death." Kaido, who knows Whitebeard's character well, couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, I'm not that pedantic. Looks like I owe you two drinks now, gulala la la la la." Whitebeard laughed happily and patted Kaido's shoulder hard.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you, huh blah blah blah!" Kaido also laughed with his arms folded. The two of them had completely forgotten about Kozuki Oden. Of course, there were still people who remembered these things, but he didn't know about the situation of the Beasts. Yes, I was talking about Izo.

"Here, try this." Izo handed a bunch of meatballs to Yamato.

"Thank you, big sister." Yamato took it politely, but her words made others laugh.

"Little sister Yamato, I am a man, not a woman." It was obviously not the first time that Izo had encountered such a situation, and he said nonchalantly.

"Really? Sister, no, my brother is so handsome." Yamato said. "Little sister Yamato, you are too kind. My appearance is just average. I have a younger brother who is more handsome than me." Izo said with a smile.

"Really? Where is that handsome big brother's younger brother?" Yamato continued to ask innocently.

"Him?" Izou pondered for a moment, he didn't know what to say. The reason why he stayed on Whitebeard's ship in the first place was very simple. In fact, he just wanted to use himself as a hostage to tell the members of the Whitebeard Pirates that Oden would come back and not to make things too difficult for Kozuki Oden and others.

But now, Roger's pirate group has been disbanded for a year, and even Roger is dead, and Oden still hasn't come back. This makes Izo very embarrassed. Although no one has ever mentioned this matter, not mentioning it does not mean that it does not exist. This makes Izo try to reduce his own presence as much as possible.

After all, his position has changed from telling everyone that Oden will come back at the beginning to telling everyone that Oden will not come back and he has completely left the Whitebeard Pirates.

"He is not here, but in my hometown. If you are lucky one day, maybe you can see him." After using a universal speech trick, Yi Zang stood up and left quickly.

"Brother Pineapple Head, is that handsome big brother angry?" Yamato asked with some confusion.

"Alas, you don't understand him now. Anyway, things here are very complicated. You just need to know that it's not your fault. By the way, why is he the handsome big brother, and I still have a pineapple head? Come on, call me handsome big brother, and I will take you to fly in the sky." Marco didn't know what to say, so he simply used the method of distracting Yamato. After all, the Izou matter was indeed a bit troublesome, and no one blamed him, but he always couldn't get over it in his heart, and no one could help him.

"No, I can fly by myself, I don't need anyone else." Yamato's attention was indeed diverted, but the direction was not what Marco wanted.

"You can fly? Wait, I remember you did transform, you are a devil fruit user! I remember you turned into a strange beast?" Marco didn't see how Yamato got from Whitebeard to Kaido's head, he just knew that Yamato could transform into an animal.

"I can fly! Just like my dad, I can summon clouds. However, I can only fly myself and not others." Yamato said, pouting and looking a little unhappy.

"A beast that can walk, fly, and summon clouds! Another mythical beast!" Yamato had no idea how much shock his words had given to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"What method does Baishou have to obtain so many mythical beast devil fruits? It's really weird." Someone muttered to himself, and no one knew who said it.

"Then, Yamato, do you know the name of the fruit you eat?" Marco regretted asking as soon as he asked. This is not something that can be asked casually. After all, the names of devil fruits often represent strengths and weaknesses. It is very impolite to ask about other people's devil fruits casually.

"I can't tell you. Dad and Mom told you not to tell anyone else." Fortunately, Yamato still had some sense and didn't say it, which made Marco feel relieved.
