One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 863 The decision is yours
"Ms. Elena, you have come several times. This time we should have a frank chat. Although I don't know much about Amazon lilies, I do know some of their unique diseases. And you are indeed an outstanding woman. But I have to say that, at least in the short term, I have no plans to get married. My identity is somewhat special and not suitable for public disclosure."

Seeing Elena coming to bring food again, Jin invited Elena into the house with a helpless look on his face and said that he was indeed not opposed to Elena, but he had indeed not thought about issues like marriage. There was no way, now he didn't know what the outcome of the Beasts' business would be. If they won, there was nothing to say, but if they lost, the result for them would definitely not be good, and if they got married, they would implicate others.

The Bakanni tribe of the bear only joined because of the legend of Joy Boy, so anyone discovered would be captured and treated as a slave. His Lunaria tribe was also the vanguard of the resistance against the World Government, so the result can be imagined. Jinn did not want to implicate anyone else, and everyone in the Hundred Beasts joined voluntarily. Even Azu, who seemed the most forced at the time, actually joined sincerely after seeing the situation of the Hundred Beasts clearly.

"We can start as friends, right?"

Elena, who had regained some of her sanity, said that she was not Hancock after all. Although she had inherited the Amazon Queen's usual persistence, she still had to know her limits. She knew clearly that Jhin was not the kind of person who was suitable for persistence, so she should just retreat in order to advance. Isn't it better to be friends than strangers?
"Of course, all beasts welcome any friends."

When Jhin saw that Elena didn't continue to pester him, he heaved a sigh of relief and said that he would not refuse to be friends. After all, Elena's appearance was still very good in Jhin's XP. Jhin was still a man after all, and he could not escape some male things. After all, humans are visual creatures and they definitely prefer beautiful ones.

However, Jhin did not agree directly. Instead, he used a method that seemed like he didn't understand, and turned Queen Elena's private invitation into a feeling of alliance between Amazon Lily and the Beasts. Naturally, this cunning method could not fool Elena. Having been king for such a long time, this little language trap could not fool Elena.

"Well, as a friend, I want to go and see the ruling area of ​​the legendary freest Beasts Pirates, is that okay?"

Elena smiled and said, since she was going to hand over the throne to Hancock anyway, why not go to the Beasts' territory and see if it's okay to settle there? Aren't you welcoming friends? Can you drive me away? Obviously, Jin didn't expect Elena to have such a plan. After all, in his opinion, Elena was the king of a country after all. As a king, and a beloved king, she would definitely not just leave like that, so Jin said indifferently.

"Of course, you're always welcome."

Jhin said very politely, and then a scene that stunned Jhin appeared. Elena pulled Hancock, who came with her to find Shanks, over, and then took out something that looked like a token with a long snake painted on it from her arms and stuffed it directly into Hancock's arms.

"Hancock, I appoint you as the new captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates and the king of Amazon Lily. The official ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. Now the token is given to you. You are the king. From now on, you are in charge."

Let alone Jin and Shanks, even Hancock didn't react to Irina's action. She stared blankly at the token in her hand. That was the Serpent God Token passed down by Amazon Lily for many years. It was a symbol of the king in the true sense. From this, we can also see the Amazon Lily's love for snakes, which can also indirectly explain Jin's popularity among Amazon Lily. After all, the Teng Snake transformed by Jin is not only big in size, but also can fly. It is simply the favorite of Amazon Lily people. I just don't know what these people will look like if they see Quinn. After all, Quinn in beast form and human form are simply two different people. And in the beastman form, although it is not a Hulusi, it is still not very good-looking.

"No, Lady Elena, isn't this a bit too sudden?"

Hancock felt a little unbelievable. Wasn't she still considering it before? How did the process speed up so much, and suddenly she became the king? Didn't time pass a little too quickly? And is it okay to just decide like this? Shouldn't there be a formal battle ceremony? Is it just decided like this?

"It's okay. There's no one else here except you. And isn't this the method you proposed? Just do it according to your idea. I see that you've been doing a good job these days. Keep going. I'm optimistic about you."

Elena gestured to Hancock to encourage him, but it was obvious that this encouragement was not what Hancock wanted. She could already feel the piles of work coming at her. The expression on Hancock's face was uglier than crying. She just wanted to throw herself into Shanks' arms for comfort!

"In that case, when you leave, Jhinsama, can you take me with you? After all, I'm still not sure how to get to the territory of Hundred Beasts." Elena looked at Jhin with a smile on her face. How could Jhin not figure out that he had fallen into the void again? Who could have thought that Perseverance Nana would do this on the spot. She really didn't leave him any way out!

"Well, of course, you're welcome."

What else could Jin do? He couldn't take back what he had said, and the other party had no ill intentions. Even if he really left, no matter what, Elena could find the way back by herself. Who would believe him if she said she didn't know how to get there? If he took the baby back by himself, he could still explain it. If Elena went by herself, she would really have no idea what to do. If Debao didn't do it, she would be labeled a scumbag! Although she knew that she was definitely wronged.

Jin's tone revealed a strong sense of helplessness. It was only a few words, but he forcibly divided them into three parts. It was obvious that he was unwilling to do so. The main reason was that there was no such a surprise attack! Just for such a small matter, he actually threw away the throne? Is the throne so worthless? What would you say to those guys who have been clinging to power all their lives? Although this free and easy attitude is indeed quite promising.

"Very good. Then please both attend the ceremony in two days. Although it may be a bit rushed, this is also a rare event for Amazon Lily."

Elena said to Jhin and Shanks with a smile, but she was looking at Jhin the whole time and didn't pay any attention to Shanks at all. Anyway, Hancock was holding him, so Shanks couldn't run away.

"Okay, definitely."

Jhin nodded. He was still a little shocked and answered mechanically.

"Very good. I will not disturb you two for the time being. Hancock, you should take a rest today. I will tell you something in the palace tomorrow."

Elina looked at Jhin reluctantly and said, although she wanted to stay a little longer, since the ceremony had been announced, there were many things waiting for her, and two days was a tight time. If Amazon Lily itself did not attach so much importance to the ceremony, Elina would not have dared to say two days.

"Yes, Lady Irina."

Hancock hugged Shanks' arm and said with a wronged look on her face that she really didn't want to deal with those official duties!
"Then I'll take my leave, Jhinsama."

Elena bowed to Shanks, turned around and left, leaving the three of them standing there motionless. After a while, Shanks was the first to react. He patted Hancock's shoulder, pulled his arm out, stood up, walked to Jin, patted Jin's waist and said:
"My condolences, buddy."

"Ugh--"

Jhin didn't reply. He just sighed deeply, shook his head, and walked towards the catapult. He needed some quiet time to calm down.
