One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 984 Jin's Thoughts
"Luffy? Are you guys going to the New World?"

Yamato, who had a great time in the Sabaody Archipelago, was just about to board the ship when he discovered the ship of Luffy and others parked not far from them. He looked at Luffy who was moving supplies with Zoro and shouted.

"Yamato! You're here too! Are you so slow? We're all here, but you haven't gone back yet?"

Luffy asked curiously, seeing that Yamato was actually in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"We were already home and attended a tea party, then we were bored so we just tagged along to do a mission, but is this your new ship? It looks pretty nice."

Hiyori walked over, looked at the Sunshine Miles and said that although she didn't know much about ships, the Sunshine Miles was indeed more in line with her aesthetic taste. Hiyori liked the bow that looked like a lion and a bit like the sun.

"How is it? Isn't it great? This is the Sunshine Mile! Kelly and her team built it! It's awesome!"

When Luffy heard Hiyori praising the Sunny Mile, he instantly perked up and spoke excitedly.

"It is indeed a great ship, but why are you here, Mr. Red Earl?"

Jhin walked over and looked at the Red Earl who was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea on the boat. He couldn't help but frowned. Jhin was curious but also a little afraid of this strong man who became famous earlier than Kaido and Lily. After all, it was weird no matter how he looked at it that this old guy suddenly appeared on the ship of the newcomers.

"Oh? It's Jin, the Calamity of Heaven, one of the Three Calamities of the Beasts. I've heard about you. You're from the Lunaria tribe, right? A very rare race. But don't worry, I'm not here to hurt anyone. In fact, I'm just passing by. My boat had a problem, and my predecessor's old boat couldn't sail a long time ago, so we asked these kids for help. Don't worry, I just didn't expect you guys knew each other."

The Red Countess could hear Jhin's thoughts and knew Jhin's fears, but she didn't hide anything. She said directly, because there was nothing worth hiding. She was just passing by. Who would have thought that her boat would be blocked by seaweed in the sea? If she had known earlier, she would have chosen a propeller-powered boat instead of a jet-powered one. Sometimes new things are indeed less stable without being tested.

So they asked Luffy and others to help them drag out the Rumbar Pirates' ship and find a place to make a coffin. After burying everyone, they asked Luffy and others to take them to the Sabaody Archipelago. However, the Red Count was a little hesitant at this moment. He heard some of Brook's thoughts, and the other party's attitude made him hesitate about what to do. Should he take Brook away to the Twin Gorge regardless of everything, or listen to the other party's ideas and let go?
"To be precise, I think Yamato and the others know each other. In fact, I always feel that Yamato knows everyone. It's like I know someone wherever I go."

Jin spread his hands helplessly. Yamato's ability to make friends is indeed rare. She can always communicate with others through various methods, and the other party is always happy to communicate with her. This is a kind of talent that others really can't learn.

"Hahahaha, this is a really amazing skill, but it's also enviable, isn't it? I've never been able to do this, so I can't compare to Newgate, or Roger and the others."

The Red Earl shook his head and said with emotion that he would never be able to learn the ability to easily become friends with others in his lifetime. This was also the reason why he was a lone ranger all his life. Let alone teammates and friends, he didn't even have a subordinate.

"Okay, but I'm more curious about another thing. Normally, you wouldn't take a boat normally. Killing someone and then taking the boat away is the normal operation, right?"

Jin came in front of the Crimson Earl and whispered that although he didn't know what was going on, this guy left a good impression in front of these newcomers. He tried his best not to break this impression. After all, he was Yamato's friend. However, if the Crimson Earl had any bad ideas, he would nip it in the bud at the first time. Compared to Luffy and others being angry, he didn't want Yamato to worry about his friends, even if he had to be a bad guy.

"You also said that, that was in the past. I don't deny that I'm not a good person, but these newcomers are very pure. I'm very happy that they don't have those dirty thoughts in their hearts. What's more, my senior is still on this ship, and he likes these newcomers very much, so I will not do this."

The Red Earl laughed. For a man of Jin's level, his ability was no longer enough to fully understand his thoughts, but he could still sense them a little. In the past, he would have laughed at his naivete, wondering how a pirate could be so weak. But now, he just felt that he was indeed a member of the Beast Pirates, a group that could make the New World a whole. He was indeed different.

"Senior? Your senior?" Jin was a little curious when he heard this answer. The Red Earl was very old, and even Whitebeard was not as old as him. What kind of person would be called a senior by such a guy? Could he be a special race? Otherwise, he really couldn't think of anyone who could be called a senior by the Red Earl.

"Hmph, don't be so surprised. There are many unexpected things in this sea. For example, the benefactor I thought I would never find in this lifetime has actually been living in this sea all along, and has turned into a person no one could have imagined—"

"A moving skeleton! So cool!"

Before the Red Earl finished speaking, Yamato let out a cry of surprise, and the sound directly startled Jhin. He looked back and saw a skeleton with an afro and wearing a tuxedo standing there in front of Yamato and the others. It was such a weird scene that even Jhin was a little surprised for a moment.

"Isn't this what you said..."

Jhin pointed at the skeleton not far away and turned to look at the Red Earl.

"Yes, that's Senior Brook. He was a man from decades ago. To some extent, he was already dead, but because of the magical power of the devil fruit, he came back to life in such a... how should I put it, I should say that he came back to life in a somewhat frightening image. Yes, that's right, he came back to life."

The Red Earl nodded and said, to be honest, anyone who sees Brook for the first time will feel a little scared. After all, a moving skeleton that can cry and laugh, and can also talk, is something straight out of some horror novels. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a devil fruit, as even such a thing can happen.

"A Devil Fruit user? But it's rare to find someone this strange. Can he revive the dead? Hmm? Are you sure he can revive the dead?"

Jhin was suddenly stunned for a moment, an idea flashed through his mind, and he asked quickly.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Jhin's question made the Red Count feel a little strange, but he still nodded.

"I have an idea. Of course, it's beyond my ability, so I need to go back and ask. Yes, go back and ask. Um, may I ask this rank... Yes, Senior Brooke, is he willing to go to the Beasts to have a look? We can pay for his travel expenses. We have some problems here and we just need his help. If he is willing to go, we welcome him with open arms."

Jhin said while grabbing the Red Earl's hand.

"I'm afraid I can't make a decision on this. After all, although Senior Brook looks like a skeleton, he is actually a living person. I can't make any decisions for him. These things can only be decided by him. Moreover, it seems that Senior Brook would rather sail with these newcomers than leave with me."

Although the distance from the Devil's Triangle to the Sabaody Archipelago was not far, the Red Count also discovered that Brook obviously preferred to sail around the world like Luffy and the others and then go back, rather than going to the New World with him and going directly to the Twin Straits to meet Laboon. After all, their agreement was to go back after sailing around the world, rather than going back in disgrace after a failure.

"Oh? That seems to be even simpler."

Jhin smiled, and a plan gradually took shape in Jhin's mind, but before that he had to make a phone call to confirm it.
