One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 67: Jhin and Taylor Tiss
"Is this your camp?" Jhin asked Taylor beside him, looking at the group of houses made of wood and rocks in front of him.

"Yes, the camp is now at its limit, but people still keep coming here." Taylor lowered his head and sighed. If it weren't for the fact that Hundred Beasts sent a lot of food and supplies this time, famine would have broken out in the camp in less than half a month. Moreover, it was almost the end of the year, and although the temperature on Headhunting Island was not too low, cold-resistant items were still needed, and the camp simply couldn't provide so many things.

"Okay, organize the people. I'll build a temporary dock and have people move the things down." After saying that, Jhin turned around and changed into orc form. As he moved, the sea in front of him began to freeze. In less than a breath of time, it turned into a solid layer of ice, leading directly to the ship in the distance.

"Huh~" Taylor shivered and wrapped his leather jacket tightly. The influence of the Pures Crocodile Fruit greatly reduced his tolerance to low temperatures, even in human form.

However, the other party was so generous, he could not tolerate such a thing. He hurriedly gathered people, and all the young and strong men in the camp were brought by Taylor. When they learned that Baishou was willing to provide supplies and manpower for free to help them overthrow the nobles, let alone other things, at least in terms of reputation, Baishou definitely reached the peak in the hearts of these refugees.

Jhin stood on a reef, looking at the smiling faces of the people who were queuing in front of him to transport goods, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the mask. He liked such scenes. Every time at this time, he would wonder, if there had been hundreds of beasts back then, would more people of his own race have survived?
Jhin shook his head and put aside this thought. There is no if in this world. What he has to do now is to work with Brother Kaido and Sister Lily to save more people who are persecuted by the nobles and the government, overthrow those disgusting nobles, and prevent the tragedy of the Lunalia people from happening again.

"Mr. Jhin, what are you doing here?" Taylor climbed onto the reef. He had just seen someone here. Fearing that it was the king's spy, he hurried over to check. Unexpectedly, it was Jhin.

"Taylor, do you believe in retribution?" Jhin did not directly answer Taylor's question, but asked this question out of the blue.

"Retribution?" Taylor rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "I don't know, maybe. I believe that those who hurt others will suffer retribution one day."

"Yes, one day they will suffer retribution, and we are speeding up the process." Jhin clenched his fists, his tone filled with unshakable determination.

"Is it the same in Mr. Jin's hometown?" Although he couldn't see his face, Taylor could still feel Jin's hatred for the nobles and oppressors through his voice and actions.

"No, my hometown only has my sister and I left." Jhin shook his head and said with a little loneliness.

"This..." Taylor didn't know what to say for a moment. This was too tragic. He couldn't persuade her at all. What should he say? My condolences? Bullshit! What's the point of saying this at this time? Isn't it painful to talk like this?

"Taylor, do you know? The Hundred Beasts are actually a group of people who are persecuted by the country, the nobles, and the World Government, and they are just huddling together for warmth."

"Mr. Kaido and Ms. Lily too?" Taylor thought of the heroic Kaido and the dignified Lily, and wondered if these two people would also be persecuted?
"Yes, Taylor, the same goes for Brother Kaido and Sister Lily. Brother Kaido once said after getting drunk that they were once betrayed by the country." Jin didn't know the specific situation, but when he thought about the loneliness on Kaido's face when he said these words, and the silence of Lily beside him, it seemed that what happened at that time was a big blow to them.

"Is that so? I see." Taylor nodded. It turned out that even people as powerful as Kaido and Lily would encounter such a thing?

"By the way, I wanted to get you to join us by helping you with this at first. I need to apologize to you for this." Jhin suddenly changed the subject, and his change was so fast that Taylor's brain was almost at a loss. He didn't know what to say for a moment and just stood there in a daze.

"But Brother Kaido stopped me. He said that if I did that, I would be no different from those nobles who relied on their manpower and authority to oppress others." At this point, Jin chuckled, "Brother is right. If I have to use the little power I have to force others to join me, then how am I different from those nobles?"

"Actually, it's no big deal. Everyone uses some means to achieve their goals. That's what they do." Taylor tried his best to make amends for Jhin, not knowing how the conversation turned out like this.

"No, Taylor, Brother Kaido is right. If I succeed this time, maybe I will think in my heart that it is right and correct. I will do the same next time. If it is against the enemy, it doesn't matter, but if I am trying to win over my own people, then this is absolutely not allowed." Jin didn't care about what Taylor said for him, but readily admitted his mistake.

"Well, okay, I accept your apology." Taylor sighed. I knew I couldn't argue with Jin, "Is this the reason why Mr. Kaido asked me in the Iron Islands?" "Yes, what Brother Kaido meant was that if you want to invite someone, just invite them openly. If they don't agree, invite them a few more times, so that they can see the good of Hundred Beasts and join willingly." Jin smiled and said what Kaido meant.

"Mr. Kaido, you really are worthy of being the captain of a hundred beasts. Not many people can match your broad mind." Taylor came to Jhin's side, and together they looked at the people moving things, and said with emotion.

"So, what do you think now?"

"Wait a minute, I want to overthrow the nobles on our island first. After all, it requires a token of allegiance, right?" Taylor said to Jhin with a tilted head and a smile.

"Hahahahaha, okay, then after we settle the villagers down, let's discuss what to do next." Taylor said it so clearly, how could Jhin not understand what Taylor meant, he immediately patted Taylor's shoulder happily.

"No problem. I told my fellow rebels about this after I came back, and they said the same thing. Since the king doesn't intend to give us a chance to live, then we can't be blamed for choosing a better leader."

"Yes, believe me, the Beast Society is a good group, and Brother Kaido and Sister Lily are definitely good leaders."

"Speaking of Mr. Kaido and Ms. Lily, I'm a little curious, are they husband and wife?" After talking about business, Taylor couldn't help but relax a little and started to ask gossipingly.

"No, it's not, at least not now, but we all feel that it will be in the future. Quinn and the others even made a bet on when the two of them will make their relationship clear." Jhin was no exception to this question that all the beasts were curious about.

"Betting? How do you bet?" Taylor became excited when he heard about betting. He usually had nothing to do, so he would bet with others for fun, but he never bet big, always bet within a certain limit.

"Time, betting on time, whoever is closest to the opponent wins. But they are not betting on money, they are betting on points." Jin was also involved, so he understood the situation.

"Points? What points?" Taylor, who had not officially joined yet, naturally didn't know much about this internal matter.

"Points? That's a set of internal reward and punishment rules designed by Big Sister Lily. You can get points by completing different tasks and handing in various things. Then you can exchange them for various benefits in the group. If you have enough points, you can even get a devil fruit. Of course, you can also exchange them for money, but generally no one does that. They usually choose to let Big Brother Kaido or Big Sister Lily give them guidance and training. After all, in this sea, strength is the foundation. As for the devil fruits, the price is too high, and the stock in the group is too small, so no one has exchanged them for the time being. After all, if you are strong enough, Big Brother Kaido and Big Sister Lily will give them directly." Jhin briefly explained the points rules to Taylor.

"Is that so? Looks like I need to work harder."

"That's right. Work hard. The beasts will not mistreat anyone who is capable."

Just when the two were talking happily, a discordant voice interrupted their conversation.

"Boss Jin! We discovered an unknown group of people being monitored!"
