One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 665: Yarrick's Plan
"So your goal is to make them a little more alive? Instead of the dead look they just had?"

Luke stood beside Yarick and said as he looked at the Hades team below who were screaming and starting to train.

"Yes, it's quite effective, isn't it?"

Yarick smiled, but because of the mechanical modification, the curled corners of his mouth looked a little scary. It didn't look like a smile, but more like he was about to tear two pieces of flesh off someone.

"But there are many ways to restore morale, why does it have to be this way?"

Luke had never been a soldier, and he treated all his subordinates equally. After all, he had a casual personality and was always nice to everyone. This kind of character made him very prestigious, and there was no one who disobeyed him, so he really didn't understand much about leading the morale of his soldiers.

"There are many ways, but they are too slow. How long is it until the war starts? When I came here, I looked at the information and there were about four months left. In these four months, minus two months of large-scale joint training and one month of preparation, there is only one month left for arrangements. Do I have to spend half a month to talk to them slowly? It is better to provoke them than to use conventional methods. It is better to scold them right away. Even if they hate me, I have other ways to make them listen to my command. It doesn't matter."

Yarick waved his hand and said.

"Okay, as long as you have a solution, I can't care about that. Leading troops is really not my forte. Okay, do you want to continue watching? How about going for a drink?"

Luke shook his head. He felt that the training of this group of people was meaningless. At least he would sweat during training and would feel very refreshed after training, but he did not have that feeling when watching others train.

"No, go ahead and let me take a look at them. I must know their specific situation before I can lead them. In addition to being strict, there are many other skills required to manage an army. If I was just strict, I wouldn't have risen from a small private to the second-in-command of the country at that time."

Yarick said to Luke that as a close friend regardless of age difference, although he didn't know whether Luke could use his skills, Yarick didn't mind revealing some of his skills to Luke. Anyway, it would be useless to take it to the grave. If more people have this skill, it would give them a better chance of overthrowing the world governments that oppress everyone in the future.

"Okay, I'll stay with you for a while. Yawn, what do you think of the abilities of this group of people? Are they to your liking? Didn't you say you like troublemakers?"

Luke sat on the ground and said to Yarick that he was here to accompany Yarick to prevent him from getting into trouble in an unfamiliar place. This guy was an old firecracker who would explode at the slightest provocation. In fact, Luke was not afraid that anything would happen to Yarick, but was afraid that something would happen to the people who provoked Yarick. He had witnessed with his own eyes how terrifying the power pliers in Yarick's hand were. A solid steel column as thick as a person could be clamped in half. If it was clamped on a person, it would definitely be much easier. Moreover, the power pliers were very insidiously equipped with seastone and electric shock devices. Anyone caught would surely die unless they were extremely powerful. This was something that could shake Brother Kaido's domineering power to a certain extent!

"Like? Humph! No one really likes a troublemaker. What I mean by liking is just the fighting power of a troublemaker. To be honest, if a person is a troublemaker and has no strength, I would probably put him to military trial immediately. After all, if he is arrogant without any strength, he can't blame others if he loses his head."

Yarick still stood straight. This old soldier always maintained a soldier's demeanor in his words and deeds, except when he was scolding others. At that time, he was not a soldier but a devil. Of course, when he was on the battlefield, he was the death of his opponents.

"It's fine as long as you have an idea. But speaking of it, are you going to deal with them tomorrow? You can't just scold them, right? Then these guys will definitely rush over to beat you up. After all, they are not easy to deal with. If they are really irritated, no matter how powerful your power pliers are, you can't deal with so many people. If they rush over at the same time, even if you can deal with a few or a dozen, you will definitely be overwhelmed by their human sea. Don't ask me to save you when the time comes. You are not in your twenties or thirties. You are 71 this year. Take it easy, buddy."

Luke said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it, but I still need to trouble you for this. Can you help me arrange a battle for these troublemakers tomorrow? Remember, pick a group with similar strength. If they don't work together, they will definitely not win. Do you understand? This is crucial."

Yarrick gave the order very seriously, and it was obvious that he had no intention of joking at all. His seriousness was no less than that of a pre-war meeting. "That's a bit high. If you are not united, you can't win. That means you are not as strong as them, but a very united team, right? Let me look for it. It's impossible to give you an answer now. After all, I have just been here for a short time, and I don't know much about the training groups on the island. I will ask for you and give you an answer tonight."

Luke rubbed his chin and said with some embarrassment. Just as he said, he really didn't know much about the current situation on the island. He didn't even know how these people were grouped, because in the original plan, his target was the opponent's lieutenant general-level combat force, and the command was not under his control.

"Okay, but there is one thing. We cannot let these guys know about this, otherwise we won't achieve the effect I want. I must make them understand that it's not that they can't win, but that they haven't found the right method."

Yarick lit a cigar for himself again. It was true that his mechanical transformation was not without benefits. Originally, due to his old age, it was difficult for him to enjoy the pleasure brought by tobacco, but now, with a mechanical lung, he could smoke without restraint. This was definitely a blessing for him, an old smoker.

"Okay, I get it. Yawn, how long are you going to watch? If it takes too long, I'll take a nap."

Luke said to Yarick with sleepy eyes.

"Go to sleep, and I'll wake you up when the time comes. At least wait until they finish their training. I want to see whether they are just being hot-blooded or really feel ashamed."

Yarick nodded and began to raise his head to observe Hades' team in training. After Luke got his answer, he immediately closed his eyes and began to fall asleep. It's true that the Sloth Fruit is definitely a blessing for insomniacs. Not everyone has the ability to make anyone fall asleep.

At the same time, in the Beast Camp.

"Oh, oh ...

Kaido asked while looking at Quinn in front of him. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Quinn seemed to have gained weight. However, it should be his illusion, because Quinn had been exercising very actively recently. At least his neck could still be seen.

"Here he is. Luke went to pick him up. He should have gone straight to the Hades team. The Hades team happened to be training in the woods near the dock today. They lost another game today. I'm sure Yarrick is there watching the team he is supposed to lead. I don't know when he will be able to come over."

Quinn could easily guess where Yarick and the others had gone. After all, he knew Yarick's character well. He was the kind of person who put work first. The reason why he became the second-in-command instead of the first-in-command was because this guy was too unkind. If this guy hadn't suddenly acted like he had eaten a dinosaur whip and his battle record was not to be ignored, he wouldn't even have been the second-in-command. It was only because he had met a place like Hundred Beasts that didn't care about these empty formalities that Yarick would not be able to fully display his abilities.

"Oh, that's just his personality. But don't you think it's a waste of talent to only let him be the commander of a small group? He's definitely capable of commanding a large-scale operation."

There are many talented generals on the Hundred Beasts side, but definitely not many handsome ones. Among them, Yarick can be said to be the most shining one. The reason why we didn't think of him before was because he was too old.

"Well, I think we should not rush it. After all, we know Yarrick's strength, but others don't. Isn't it a good idea to let Yarrick prove his strength in the Hades team first?"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Look at this old dog, Yarick. How many teeth are left in his mouth? Ulla-la-la-la-la-la!"
