Chapter 137 Kaido: Should I hire a tutor?
Chapter 137 Kaido: Should I hire a tutor?
Facing Kaido's question, Black Maria waved to the outside, signaling her men to come in, "Let her talk to you."
Kaido is very tolerant towards capable cadres, and there is no strict hierarchy, so many cadres call him by his name without any specific honorific title.
More polite cadres would call him Mr. Kaido, while some would just call him by his name. Black Maria had a good personal relationship with Kaido, so naturally she would speak without restraint.
At this time, at Maria's call, a young woman with long black hair walked in from outside the cave. She was wearing a kimono with a leaf pattern, with her shoulders exposed and a wide belt around her waist.
In front of her face, she wore a monitor mask that symbolized eyes. She was the Caiman Woman who was in charge of monitoring and collecting intelligence in the Beasts Pirates.
Because she ate an artificial devil fruit, a huge crocodile grew out of her lower body starting from her legs, hence her name.
"Mr. Kaido, I have been monitoring Master Yamato since she was imprisoned. I used my ability to record the conversation between the two in the cell. Please watch it."
The Caiman Woman has to be more respectful to Kaido. She can see the scene through the monitor mask on her face through special methods, and she can also record it. The credibility of the information when she finally reports is very guaranteed.
"Put it out and let me see."
Kaido was much more sober now, mainly because he was very curious about what happened to Yamato after he was imprisoned, which made Maria say that Yamato was reflecting on himself.
The Caiman woman opened the monitor system and shared the previously recorded information. When Kaido first saw Lu Li, he was a little confused, "Who is this?"
Black Maria smiled and said, "You are really forgetful. Didn't I just tell you that this is the demon slayer who challenged you a few days ago?"
Kaido tilted his head, as if recalling, "I don't remember much. I was drunk at the time and thought it was a fly flying towards me, so I fanned it away."
"Haha, you are worthy of me. This guy confidently said that he was a ghost slayer and was here to annihilate you."
Maria's smile widened. "In the end you didn't even remember it. How pitiful."
"It's not important. Keep playing. I want to see what they talked about."
Kaido urged.
As the scene in the Caiman Female Monitor system played, Kaido's face showed anger because he heard Yamato say that he wanted to join forces with Lu Li to deal with him, his biological father.
But after the two chatted for a while, the conversation turned into meaningless stories about adventures in the outside world, and Kaido felt drowsy.
"Let's skip this part. He's almost asleep."
Black Maria instructed, and the caiman girl quickly switched, adjusting the progress to the point after Lu Li and Yamato were sparring and learning Ryuo.
Kaido then perked up a bit, looking at the image of Lu Li with Ryu-sakura on his hand, he seemed a little interested, "This kid is a quick learner, it's worth it that I spared his life, I'll let him join the Waiters later."
Although Haki is not a rare ability in the New World, and almost everyone who goes on an adventure at sea has some Haki, Lu Li was able to learn Ryuo and apply it stably within one day, which is also an extremely rare learning ability in Kaido's view.
Considering Lu Li's age, if he could be recruited and trained, he would at least be able to fight at the level of a real fighter in the future, and might even have the strength of one of the Six Flying Sons or even a big boss.
"He is indeed a talented person, but the jailer has already hinted to him that he seems to hate us pirates. He would rather mine in Usagi Prison than join our Beasts Pirates."
Black Maria said, but there was no regret on her face. After all, geniuses are not uncommon in the new world, but not many can grow up.
"What an ignorant guy! I heard he was an adventurer. I don't know how such a naive guy got here by himself."
Kaido said with some dissatisfaction that he felt that strength was the kingly way, justice, evil, identity were all unimportant, and only absolute power could change the world.
Black Maria did not respond because Lu Li and Yamato in the picture had already started the discussion.
As the two people talked in the picture, the expression on Kaido's face changed from angry to calm. In short, it was very changeable and exciting.
At the end, when Lu Li's words induced Yamato's logic to think and finally caused Yamato's inner world to collapse and become autistic, Kaido slapped his thigh with one hand, and air rushed violently in the cave.
"Good boy, he can actually convince Yamato!"
Kaido looked at Lu Li in the picture with some surprise. He didn't expect that the stubborn Yamato would doubt her life because of what Lu Li said. She really wondered whether it was abnormal for her to be Kozuki Oden.
"I felt that he didn't seem very smart before, but he speaks very logically. Maybe it's because a bystander can see things more clearly. He pointed out all the irrationalities in Master Yamato's life. Now, even Master Yamato has to think about these issues, right?"
Black Maria smiled and said, "Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be any lobbyists who are good at debate in our pirate group."
Kaido was moved when he heard this. He understood what Black Maria meant, which is that although strength is important, it does not mean that they no longer need wise people.
If there was a guy as eloquent as Lu Li in his team, he would probably be able to pull Yamato back when he went astray as a child.
He didn't dare to say that Lu Li was a smart man like a military advisor, but he was sure that Lu Li definitely understood "education".
Therefore, he thought that even if he pulled Lu Li into his place and made him a tutor for Yamato, it would be a good idea. "Lock him up for a while, and then let Quinn talk to him."
Kaido made a decision. Although Quinn was a funny fat man, he was the big boss of the epidemic. He was very capable and was deeply trusted by Kaido.
At the same time, Quinn is also the person in charge of the management of Rabbit Don Prison, so he is the most appropriate person to speak.
"Haha, this matter is indeed not urgent. After analyzing it, I feel that it is not necessarily because Lu Li is so smart that he persuaded Master Yamato. The important thing is that this is the first time that Master Yamato has made friends of the same age. She is more likely to listen to her friends."
Maria analyzed, "In Yamato's eyes, we are probably her enemies, so she won't listen to anything we say, thinking we are deceiving her."
"So that's the logic. Fortunately, I didn't kill that guy that day."
Kaido was very happy at this moment. After all, his daughter's distorted personality had been a headache for him for eight years, and this was the first time he saw a turn for the better.
At the same time, he also reflected a little bit, wondering if he had let Yamato live too lonely. If Yamato had close friends when he was a child, he would have asked Yamato's friends to act as lobbyists, and perhaps Yamato would not have grown up in a wrong way.
Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. In Kaido's view, strong people are lonely.
Just like he became the kingdom's number one warrior at the age of ten and led the country to countless victories, but what he received was not the admiration and respect of the people and soldiers, but fear. In the end, he was alone, betrayed by the king, and given to the navy.
So he felt that, as his daughter, Yamato must have a strong heart that can soar even if she is alone, so he did not let Yamato play with other children of the same age when she was a child.
In Kaido's view, that was a cowardly act. After all, he went to the battlefield when he was only seven or eight years old. How could he play with other children?
"Master Yamato has made new friends, so he probably won't escape prison anytime soon. Let's just wait and see."
Maria said.
Kaido also nodded and looked at the caiman girl, "Yes, from now on, come to me every day, no, every half a day to report!"
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just stay here and broadcast it directly using the monitor system when something happens."
Kaido thought that instead of watching the replay, it would be better to watch the live broadcast directly, so that if anything unexpected happened, he would be able to deal with it more easily.
…………
After two days of hard work, Lu Li was sitting against the wall in the cell taking a nap, unaware that he was being monitored by the world's top powerhouse.
Because Yamato was still injured, he fell into a deep sleep after shutting himself off.
Unlike Lu Li, although she was in prison, she probably subconsciously felt deep down that this was her own territory, so she slept soundly without any vigilance.
Lu Li just felt sorry that he couldn't take out his bed in prison. Whether he slept comfortably or not was secondary. What made him uncomfortable was the lack of progress in his cultivation.
When the sun rose again, the doors of other cells opened one by one, and the prisoners dragged their tired bodies to the mining site to start today's heavy work.
Only Lu Li and Yamato's doors were closed, and no jailer came to open the door and call them to work.
In fact, today, according to Lu Li's original identity, the jailer would judge that his injuries were almost healed and it was time to call him out to work in the mines.
But last night they received an order from above not to ask Master Yamato and Lu Li in the cell to go mining, but only to deliver meals to them every day.
Although they were confused, the lower-level jailers did not dare to ask too many questions. They could only serve the sufficient meals and tactfully stay away from the cell.
"The functions of Observation Haki include sensing attacks, predicting the opponent's next move, sensing the strength of a creature, sensing the emotions and thoughts of a creature, and sensing the position and number of objects outside the field of vision. The range and strength of this ability vary from person to person, and through training the range can be expanded..."
After getting up, Yamato no longer pestered Lu Li to tell him stories about overseas. He seemed to be in low interest and started explaining to Lu Li the principles of Observation Haki.
Seeing Yamato in this state, Lu Li didn't want to provoke Yamato further, so he could only put aside the matter of Kozuki Oden for the time being and study Observation Haki seriously.
Unlike the Armament Haki he obtained through skill scrolls, he had never mastered Observation Haki before, so it was considered a new thing.
Although it was new, Lu Li learned it very quickly. After all, the underlying principles of domineering were similar. As the saying goes, if you learn one, you will learn all. With Yamato's explanation and demonstration, he quickly grasped the key points.
Observation Haki has a lot to do with psychology, and one needs to be calm to ensure its use. Observation Haki cannot be used when one is emotionally excited or has lost one's rationality.
The possessor of advanced Observation Haki can predict the opponent's movements and positions, and even hear the thoughts of others. It can be considered a kind of mind reading, or the "power of listening". When it is practiced to the extreme, it can even predict part of the future.
This ability is very powerful in Lu Li's opinion. It is a powerful auxiliary ability in battle. Although his natural fighting instinct is very strong, learning the Observation Haki can further improve his combat tolerance.
Yamato's Observation Haki is not very strong, at least she is not an expert in this area. This is mainly because she mostly fought head-on with her father over the years and rarely performed any fancy dodging maneuvers.
Moreover, Lu Li guessed that Kaido's Observation Haki is probably not very strong. This is related to each person's fighting style and personality. Kaido is not the kind of person who likes to dodge and operate in battle. He mostly relies on his strong body and super strong Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki to fight hard, so Observation Haki is not of much help to him.
