One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 407 Quinn's Thoughts

"What did you say?"

An old Greenland Shark man with a beard that was almost dragging on the ground was constantly tilting his ear to try to hear clearly what was being said. Unfortunately, he couldn't even find Quinn's position correctly. He was actually facing a square trash can, and Quinn was not in front of him at all!
"I'm here! I'm here! Mr. Rick! Mr. Rick!"

Quinn is sweating profusely now. He has too many people to take care of now. Indeed, he hopes to have some older people to help with the testing, but aren't they a little too old?

For example, this Greenland Shark Sleeper named Rick is over 260 years old! He seems to be the oldest person in the entire Fishman Island.

260 years old! This age is considered very old not only in Fishman Island, but also among the giants. After all, the theoretical age of the giants is years old, but not many can live to that age. After all, with a civilization similar to that of the Vikings and a warlike nature, most of the giants actually kill themselves before their theoretical life ends. There is a similar situation with the ghosts, whose theoretical lifespan is years.

It seems that all naturally powerful races always have various problems, such as low fertility, warlike nature and not cherishing their own lives, lack of unity, etc. Perhaps this is why humans, who seem to be the most ordinary and the least special, can dominate the world.

And this 260-year-old fishman can no longer be described as having blurry eyes. His completely white eyes have proved that he can't see anything around him at all. Moreover, his ears are so bad that even a loud voice like Quinn has to be shouted out for him to barely hear.

"Ohhh, I'm here, where should I go?"

Old Mr. Rick turned around and said, but he was still facing the wrong direction, Quinn was on his side!
"Come on, old man! Follow me!"

Quinn had no choice but to carefully step forward and support Old Rick. He didn't even dare to use force. The old man's body was already a little fragile, and Quinn might accidentally break Old Rick's bones.

"Sorry, sorry, let me do it Mr. Quinn."

At this time, a female mermaid nurse ran over and took Quinn's position to support old Rick. The young nurse, who was just over 30 years old, was sweating profusely as she stuffed a waterproof hearing aid into old Rick's ears.

"Honestly, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to let such an old man come to participate in the test? Wouldn't it be better to give it to him after the experiment is completed?"

Quinn wiped the sweat from his head. At this moment, he didn't even have the mood to appreciate the beauty. This was the fourth elderly person he had taken care of today. These elderly people made Quinn feel that this was no longer a laboratory, but a nursing home, and he was just an intern nurse.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Quinn. I'm old and I'm causing you trouble. My old bones are no longer useful. I'm just fine to do experiments with you. As long as I can provide support for the future of Fishman Island, it's worth it for a useless old guy like me to die. Anyway, at my age, it would be a happy funeral if I die."

The one who answered Quinn was not the little merman nurse, but old Rick who was wearing a hearing aid. His voice was very slow, with a kind of old age-related dullness, but what he said made Quinn unable to help but be dazed. This kind of situation of completely disregarding life and death was not something Quinn had never seen before, but it was rare to see someone so calm.

"Don't worry! Mr. Rick, my experiments are not like those bastards' experiments. They are all conducted after sufficient testing and will not affect human life!"

Quinn yelled to Old Rick.

"Hehe, it's okay. I'm an old man, so I don't care. I'll go back to the house first and not cause any trouble for you guys here."

I don't know whether Old Rick listened or not. He was walking towards his room step by step with a crutch in one hand and the other hand supported by the young nurse.

Even until Old Rick trembled and left, Quinn still hadn't recovered from what he saw.

"What are you looking at here?" At this time, Jhin walked over from behind Quinn, patted Quinn's shoulder and asked.

"Tell me, why would someone not be afraid of death? Jhin?"

Quinn asked in a hoarse voice, his throat feeling dry for some reason.

"No one is not afraid of death, Quinn. It's just that sometimes, people always feel that there are things that are more valuable than their own lives. At this time, that person seems to be a person who is not afraid of death."

Jhin lowered his head and sighed. He thought of the rebels on Headhunter Island who rebelled against the king, the civilians who were ready to seek death to help the Beasts launch a war against the nobles of Wano Country, and the noble servants who risked their lives and delivered all the information to the Beasts without hesitation.

At that moment, they all put their own lives aside. They were not afraid of death because in their eyes, compared with the happy lives of their relatives, friends, or future generations, their lives had become something that did not need to be cared about. On the high hanging scale, the weight representing their lives had been raised high.

"But those are all young people. What about them? Those old people, they obviously don't need this. They can obviously enjoy their old age. Why do they want to accompany me to do experiments with the awareness of death?"

Quinn still didn't quite understand. He wasn't the kind of person who could easily empathize with others, but the words that Old Rick said before he left still made him feel uneasy.

"Will you really let them die? If there are no unexpected events in the experiment, will you?"

Jhin crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Quinn and asked.

"No, I won't let them die. That would be a mockery of my technology. I'm not that bastard Caesar who thinks all this is just a necessary sacrifice. Only voluntary sacrifices are called sacrifices. Forcing experiments because of immature technology is called murder. And you are more familiar with the sentencing of the beast for murder than I am, aren't you?"

Quinn looked back at Jhin. Over the years, in order to help Lily, Jhin began to study frantically, and surprisingly, the aspect Jhin studied best was law. He is now an honorary professor of the law school. Many of the increasingly complete legal provisions of the Law of Beasts were written by Jhin. Jhin memorized that huge book that could crush a person to death from beginning to end. Even Quinn admired Jhin for this.

"So, what are you still worried about? You've been to Fishman Island and know their situation. Although it looks prosperous on the surface, it's actually been rotten inside. If you go to Fishman Island again now, you'll find that it has undergone tremendous changes. To use an inappropriate word to describe it, you guys are here to repay your gratitude and want to use up your last bit of strength to do something for Fishman Island. The biggest source of stability now is the alliance with the Beasts. The reason why they are not afraid of death is, first, they really think they have lived enough, and second, they want to use their lives to consolidate the alliance between Fishman Island and the Beasts."

Jhin finally answered the question for Quinn

"Then they really misjudged the Beasts. We are not the kind of arrogant guys who need our allies to provide us with things to maintain the covenant."

Quinn had an expression on his face that was similar to a mockery, but also like a wry smile. Even he didn't understand why he had such an expression.

"They may understand, but they don't dare to gamble. Of course, they hope that Baishou is really a kind person who asks for nothing in return. However, this world has told everyone time and again that if you pin your hopes on the kindness of others, the ending is often not good."

Jhin and Quinn looked at each other and sighed at the same time. They both knew who imposed this idea on this world, this disgusting world.
