One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 975 Conversation
"I didn't expect to meet a navy admiral here, as well as a newly promoted vice admiral. Nice to meet you."

Jin looked at Kizaru who was sitting opposite him and adding sugar cubes into his tea, and said with a twitching eye, "Compared to him, Fujitora who was slurping noodles in the cafe looked much more normal. Would it be true that eating so much sugar would not cause hair loss?"
"I am the one who is more surprised, okay? The leader of the three disasters of the beasts would actually appear in this place. By the way, may I have the honor of knowing what you are here for?"

After Kizaru added the twenty-seventh sugar cube into the black tea, he finally stopped. However, this was enough to surprise Jin, because the black tea had become a little sticky. In comparison, the screams of Yamato and others on the roller coaster behind him did not attract Jin's attention. But that was normal, because the roller coaster was not as fast as Yamato and others flying in the sky. The shouting was just due to the atmosphere.

"Nothing, just a cooperation contract for Baique Department Store. We came here purely because we were bored, but we also take it seriously. After all, you may know that person just now. He is the person in charge of Baique Department Store that connects with the Navy Headquarters."

Jhin spoke directly without hiding anything, because the matter was so simple and there was no need to hide it. To put it bluntly, it would be a waste for a hundred generals to come here, let alone Jhin. They were just a group of bored people who agreed to come here to kill time, just like in a certain world of a tough guy, Tianzun ran to experience the feeling of killing monsters instantly.

"Oh? Is it that simple?"

Kizaru raised his eyebrows, obviously a little unbelieving. After all, there were too many people in Jin's group, including the head of the Three Calamities, one of the Twelve Hours, three second-generation leaders, and even Yamato, who could be regarded as another Three Calamities or a little Four Emperors. It was really hard for Kizaru to believe. When he saw them for the first time, even the usually arrogant Kizaru almost sent a distress signal. These few people were enough to bring another admiral.

It was hard for Kizaru to believe that so many people came to the Sabaody Archipelago just for something that could be settled by just anyone.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, this is the fact. If you don't believe it, just go and ask the person in charge who discussed it with me. He is not one of us, but just a supplier. That's all we talked about."

Jin didn't care whether Kizaru believed what he said or not. Anyway, it was the fact. What if you don't believe it? We are not allies. If I don't tell you, you can't do anything. At most, we can fight. Anyway, he is not worried. Although this place is close to the Marine Headquarters, the enemy will support quickly, but if they want to run, almost all of them can fly, so they are not afraid of this.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault, how about I treat you?"

Kizaru said with a grin.

"You were the one paying, I didn't order anything."

Although he was used to not wearing a mask on Onigashima, Jin still wore a mask whenever he went out. Although his identity was almost exposed, he still had to have a sense of ritual. So although he was sitting in the cafe, Jin didn't order anything. Only Kizaru asked for a cup of black tea, and Fujitora asked someone to help cook a portion of soba noodles he brought with him. But to be honest, Jin still didn't understand why someone would carry this thing with them when they went out? How much does he love soba noodles?

"I have been traveling for many years and have gotten used to carrying food with me. Buckwheat noodles can be cooked with water, and can be eaten dry. Although they don't taste good without any toppings, they are convenient and cheap."

Perhaps sensing that Jin was looking at him, Fujitora put down the bowl and spoke to Jin.

"Is that so? It seems that your past life was not rich. Obviously, with your strength, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Jin looked at Fujitora's misty eyes. Although he knew that the other party could not see anything, he always had a feeling that he was looking at him. He wondered if this was what Sister Lily said, about the swordsman's eyes?

"Force is only a weapon I use to protect the weak, not a means to obtain property. In my opinion, it is precisely because I am strong enough that I should not use force easily, because this is to respect ordinary people. If I am used to using force to obtain everything, then what is the difference between the result and that of a villain?"

Fujitora shook his head and said, in his opinion, many people hold sharp weapons and have murderous intentions, and this behavior is obviously wrong, so he has been restraining his own strength. All along, even if he loses money in the casino, he never says anything. Although he will cheat, it is just for fun. He never swings his sword at ordinary people, and his target is always the real villain. "It's an interesting theory. Although I can't fully agree with it, I respect your choice."

In Jin's opinion, although having strength is not a reason to act recklessly, it is not wrong to use strength to gain some benefits for oneself within a normal range. After all, no one is a saint, and it is human nature to hope that life will be better. Strength itself is also gained bit by bit. As long as you don't impose your desires on the suffering of others, there is nothing wrong with obtaining a better life through your own strength.

Of course, as Jin said, he would not argue with the other party about such a thing, because everyone has their own way of life, and there is no need to force it. Moreover, the other party's way of life can be regarded as a kind of practice of the mind, right? The other party did not force others to do the same, and their own way of life was chosen by themselves, right?
"That's good enough. After all, many people like to give their opinions on my lifestyle, but there are very few people like Mr. Jin who can understand me even if they don't agree with me."

Fujitora smiled and nodded. He suddenly discovered that King, a member of the Four Emperors Pirate Group, was so different from the others. When he was actually powerful, he had encountered many pirates. Among these pirates, there were evil villains, adventurers who went to sea for their ideals, and also many poor people who were forced to become pirates to make a living. But they were all different from King. King gave him the feeling of a polite and cultured person.

Fujitora had a feeling that if they put aside the other party's identity as a pirate, the two of them should be able to become friends, friends who respect each other, but unfortunately the other party is a pirate.

"Why did Mr. Jin become a pirate?"

Fujitora never liked to talk much, but this time he had the urge to ask one more question. He was very curious about what the Four Emperors Pirates were all about. Why did everyone say that the Four Emperors Pirates were different when they mentioned it to him? And Jin did give him a different feeling.

"Why did you become a pirate? Maybe it was to repay a favor, maybe it was out of hatred, but of course the biggest reason was that I wanted to live an upright life."

Jhin looked at Fujitora. This guy gave him a very strange feeling. Originally, Jhin would not say so much, but at the same time, Jhin also planned to talk a little more this time.

"Live uprightly?"

Fujitora was a little curious. He could understand the first two. He had seen people who were forced by the World Government to become pirates to make a living. He had also met people who became pirates because of a one-sided view of pirates after being saved by pirates. But this was the first time he had seen someone who wanted to live an upright life as a pirate.

"That's right. If I want to live an upright life, I must become a pirate. As for the reason, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

When Jhin said this, he glanced at Kizaru opposite him. Kizaru turned around and started whistling, as if he heard nothing.

"Is that so? It seems that Mr. Jin has some unspeakable things to say, so I naturally cannot press him."

Fujitora sensed Kizaru's movements beside him through his observation Haki, and immediately guessed that there must be something unspeakable, so he did not continue to ask, but picked up the chopsticks again and began to clean up the last bit of soba noodles in the bowl. For a moment, the three of them fell into silence.

After a while, Fujitora finished his noodles and Kizaru finished his tea. They both put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time, nodded to Jin, and turned to leave. Watching the two of them leave, Jin felt that he had gained a lot from this trip. He would have to report it carefully after returning.
