One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 664: Yarrick's Arrival
"call--"

Accompanied by a heavy breathing sound, a big foot stepped on the ground of the training island.

"I never thought that at my age, I would still have the opportunity to lead troops into battle. This technology is really great."

Yarick, whose half face had turned into machinery, spoke in a voice like metallic friction. At this moment, his left face was like a strange metal mask, and the eyes were replaced by a red round glass. However, the part where the flesh and the machinery were connected was a bit scary, as if the face was melted and glued to the metal. There was an indescribable sense of horror. In addition to the face, Yarick's right hand was also replaced with a huge metal pliers. Unlike the ones that Quinn modified on his own hands, this pliers could not do any delicate work, but the rough and hideous appearance showed an extraordinary sense of power. I'm afraid no one would want to be hit by such a pliers.

"It looks like you've recovered well, but why are you still smoking cigars in this state? Aren't you afraid that your body, which has just recovered, will become ill again?"

After Yarrick got off the ship, Luke, who had arrived two days earlier than him, came over. He and Yarrick had a good relationship. Although one of them was rigorous and the other was casual, they unexpectedly became close friends regardless of age difference.

"Half of my body has been replaced with a lump of iron. What? Can't I even smoke a cigarette?"

Yarick looked at Luke and burst out laughing, saying that he himself did not expect that he could survive. When the bomb exploded, he felt that he was dead, but he felt unexpectedly calm. The only thing he felt unwilling about was that he did not die on the battlefield, but was ambushed by such a shameless villain.

Then, when he woke up from the hospital bed, he thought he had arrived in heaven. After all, the room was completely white. But it was good that he was not dead. After all, he had not seen the free future that Kaido and others talked about. Although he was already a broken body, it was good to be able to see what the future would look like.

Who knew that he had become like this, and yet he could get the chance to lead troops into battle again, what a magical technology! As he spoke, Yarick put his hand on his left chest, and the sound coming from there was no longer the strong heartbeat he had before, but an energy core developed by Quinn, Louises and Intelligent Control Core 10001. This energy core was specially designed for humans to replace the human heart. This technology was still in the experimental stage, and what Yarick installed was this prototype. The technology was still unstable, and when installing it, Quinn predicted that the probability of success was less than %, but it succeeded in the end, and the result was a happy ending for everyone.

"Okay, but seriously, how can you smoke a cigar like that? No good person would smoke a cigar through his lungs."

Luke smiled and scratched his head. He was very happy that his good friend, with whom he had only met a few times, had gone from being on the verge of death to his current state.

"You're wrong about one thing. I never smoke cigars through my lungs because I don't have lungs anymore. There's a big lump of iron inside. The kind that can smash a person's head if thrown out. Hahahaha!"

Yarick knew that Luke was worried about his health, but there was no point in worrying. He was already in this condition. Now he couldn't see a doctor when he was sick. He had to find a mechanic.

"Okay, stop messing around. Let's go check out the team you're going to lead next. I heard they're all a bunch of troublemakers. Only an old guy like you can subdue them."

Luke said, patting Arik's steel shoulder.

"What do you mean only an old guy like me can do it? It's obvious that you don't want to bother. But it's okay. I've been a troublemaker since I just joined the army. Now I'm back to my old job. Where are those disobedient guys?"

Yarrick, who already knew his job, would not refuse. Or rather, he liked troublemakers, because troublemakers were often powerful, and how could those little troublemakers be a match for an old troublemaker like him who had been a soldier for many years? He did not need too many ways to deal with troublemakers.

"As long as you have confidence, we are just ahead. The team's code name is Hades. They came up with the name themselves. You can tell their personalities just by the name."

Luke pointed to a place not far ahead. The Hades team, which had lost 25 games in a row, was sitting on the ground in a sloppy manner, staggering here and there. They had just lost a battle, and during the time they were waiting for Yarick to come, in addition to daily training, they had lost five more times, still maintaining a record of no losses. The little energy they had originally had was now gone. They seemed to have accepted their fate and did not want to move at all.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Yarrick nodded and raised his hand to adjust his military cap. He was wearing the same clothes as when he was the second in command of the kingdom, except that the badge on the cap had changed from the original badge representing the king to the current flag of the Beasts. "What are you, a bunch of dogs! Who let the dogs loose on the training ground! I heard that you were going to lead a group of soldiers! Why are there only a bunch of sissies here!"

Standing in front of the Hades team, Yarick started cursing without saying a word. His voice was unpleasant, but fucking was even more unpleasant. No one could tolerate this kind of insult that started from themselves, from their ancestors to their descendants. Suddenly, everyone in the Hades team stood up and looked at Yarick angrily.

“What? You won’t fight back! You won’t even fight back! Even if it’s a maggot! You’ll rush up and bite me when I scold you like this! Are you worse than a maggot?!”

Yarick looked at the crowd that stood up, and not only was he not afraid, but he cursed even more fiercely. The degree of ferocity even made Luke, who was not far away, a little worried. He was afraid that a fight would break out on the spot. Although Brother Quinn had said before that Yarick's strength after the transformation was more than twice as strong as before, Yarick is already 71 years old this year. In the world of One Piece, this age is already a long life for ordinary people!

"You bastard! What do you mean!"

At this moment, a member of Hades' team couldn't help but speak, but his words were pushed back by Yarick as soon as they came out.

"Are you a pirate? You can't even curse! You are worthy of being called a pirate! What do you mean? I've said it! I look down on you! There are so many people! Every one of you spitting would make me take a shower! But! You just stood here! Let me curse for five minutes! Five minutes! No one rushed up! Even when I didn't remind you! You couldn't even talk back! Are you all dead? No wonder you lost 25 times in two months! If you were on the battlefield! You couldn't even survive the first battle! And you still say you are troublemakers? I have been in the army since I was 17! I am 71 this year! I have seen countless troublemakers! But none of them are as cowardly as you! Trash! You are worthy of being called troublemakers! Bah! Don't disgust me here! I heard that a group of very strong troublemakers came here! But I saw such a bunch of trash! Humph!"

After cursing, Yarick turned around and left without any hesitation. His military uniform was not even the slightest bit messy, leaving an extremely handsome back view to Hades' team.

At this moment, the members of Hades' team looked at each other, and no one spoke. Although Yarick's words were unpleasant, no one could refute them, because they were indeed a bunch of rubbish just now. They even stopped blaming each other and just sat there decadently, motionless.

"Wait, who was that just now?"

At this time, someone came to his senses and said that Yarick came over and scolded them, but they didn't even know who was scolding them.

"Yeah? Who is this person? I've never seen him before? He looks like a robot?"

"They should be from the Beasts, right? The flag on that guy's hat is from the Beasts."

"But I've never seen him before? When did this person appear in our group?"

For a moment, the members of Hades' team went from being depressed to being curious about Yarick's identity.

"Alright! No matter who this person is, there is one thing for sure! This guy looks down on us and thinks we are trash! Yes! That's right! We really haven't won in this period of time! But we are definitely not trash! We must prove to that old guy just now! We are not trash!"

The captain of the guards in Hades' group stood up and shouted.

"That's right! We are not trash!" "That's right!" "That's right!" For a moment, Hades' team's momentum was restored.
