Chapter 3655: The Road to Kingship

Ace proposed a new worldview, in which humans and fishmen have the same origin, and this worldview was quickly spread by everyone.

Fishmen have always been discriminated against by humans, and Celestial Dragons even capture fishmen as slaves.

But the question is, does being discriminated against mean being weak? This is not necessarily the case. In "Gundam SEED", ordinary natural people discriminate against more powerful adjusters.

It is a fact that fishmen have far greater advantages in the sea than humans. Fishmen have better physical strength, can dive, and can live on land, which makes them more suitable for this world full of sea than humans.

Humans discriminate against fishmen more because of fear. If a fishman and a human both go to interview sailors, the captain will most likely choose the fishman instead of the human.

Because fishmen are really too convenient.

Then humans will naturally be afraid, worried that fishmen will rob their living space. So human society will spontaneously carry out self-protection actions, discredit fishmen, and let everyone know that hiring fishmen is self-degradation.

In this way, the boss will not hire fishmen with more advantages, but humans without advantages.

This is a self-protection method for humans. Even if the boss knows that fishmen are better, he can only choose humans in order to consider other people's ideas.

Now that the theory of human and fishmen are of the same origin has been proposed, of course many people do not agree. Once this theory is accepted, it must be admitted that fishmen and humans are equal, and humans will definitely suffer.

However, since the theory has been proposed, there are naturally people who support it. Jinbei thinks that Ace is really the Pirate King.

"Without the demeanor of the Pirate King, it is impossible to propose the theory of common origin. Ace is someone we fishmen can trust, and I can't help but want to join him."

"But humans are not trustworthy."

Jinbei naturally knows that humans are not trustworthy, but the theory of common origin brings hope.

Jinbei said: "I had an idea before, which was to find a human with excellent character, recognize his status, follow him to make achievements, and thus improve the status of fishmen."

"This idea is not very reliable. No matter how good a person's character is, it is not the same for everyone. When he dies, the conflict between humans and fishmen will still erupt. Humans will even hurt us more. After all, humans will not allow fishmen to steal their credit."

"Yes, a person's character cannot represent everyone. Even if there is a generous person, he will eventually die. In the human world, there are countless cases of people dying and politics ending. A new emperor has new ministers. Even if I assisted him in making achievements and was treated preferentially at the time, when he dies, the situation of us fishmen will still be worrying." Jinbei said.

"Have you changed your mind now, Captain?"

"Yes, it has changed. Now I don't need to trust a certain person's character, but to see who supports the homology theory and who opposes it. People who support the homology of humans and fishmen can be trusted, but those who oppose it cannot be trusted." Jinbei said: "This is much more reliable than personal character. And even if a group of supporters die, new supporters will appear, and the number will continue."

"Captain, will it really be so smooth?"

"It will definitely not be smooth. There are not many people who support the homology theory now, but I believe that since the homology theory has appeared, it will continue to exist."

"But there is still a blank hundred years in history, and things that already exist can also be erased by people." The crew members are not as optimistic as Jinbei.

Jinbei said: "The historical text has not disappeared, but is waiting for others to translate it. History has not disappeared, it is just waiting for revival. Once someone needs to use the historical text to endorse it, the historical text will be translated immediately. The same is true for the homology theory. As long as someone needs the homology theory, the homology theory will continue to circulate."

"Captain, are there really humans who need the homology theory? Humans and fishmen are of the same origin. Are humans really willing to admit that they are the same as inferior creatures?"

"Yes, because humans need to develop, and the seabed is a field that humans must set foot in. Humans must get the help of fishmen, and the homology theory will become popular. So you wait, the homology theory will become mainstream one day." Jinbei believes that one day humans will need the help of fishmen.

In short, the homology theory is easier to determine than a person's character. If you want to know whether a person's character is good or not, you need to know the horse's strength over a long period of time. If you want to know whether a person supports the homology theory, you just need to ask, support or not.

"But humans can lie. What if they pretend to support us and gain our trust? Just like Joy Boy 800 years ago, he also made an agreement with us fishmen, but he didn't keep it at all. They can pretend to support us and actually deceive us."

"That's for sure, that's inevitable, but not everyone is a liar. What we have to do is to find the true and false, and find the people who really support the same origin." Jinbei knew that there would be no shortage of liars, but it was not important. What was important was that there were people who really supported us.

This kind of liar was called a hypocrite in ancient times, and it was the kind of person Confucius hated the most. Confucius didn't hate villains, but he hated hypocrites, because hypocrites were the scum hidden in his own team.

Villains are the enemies of gentlemen, and hypocrites are the scum hidden in gentlemen. Confucius can respect enemies, but he can't tolerate pig teammates.

It was like this in Confucius' time, and of course it was unavoidable afterwards. Hypocrites are bound to exist. Then we can only be vigilant against these troublemakers and unite the real like-minded people.

Jinbei is very optimistic, because the emergence of the theory of homology is a great progress in the relationship between humans and fishmen, which can bring a glimmer of hope to the world. At the same time, he admires Ace, who proposed the theory of homology, and thinks he has the bearing of the Pirate King.

"The Pirate King does not accept the fishmen himself, but wants everyone to accept them. This is the real king. The king's direction is the future!"

The king is the one who guides the direction, the one who leads everyone to the future, and the one who establishes others when he wants to establish himself, and achieves others when he wants to achieve himself.

Confucianism has "Do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you", and also "If you want to establish yourself, establish others, and if you want to achieve yourself, achieve others."

I don't want to give others what I don't want. But at the same time, I also say that what I want, I have to give others.

Just like Meng's mother moved three times, she thought that it was good for her children to study, so she moved at all costs to bring a good environment to Mencius. Meng's mother not only wanted to establish herself, but also hoped that her son could establish himself.

I won't give you what I think is not good. But I will give you what I think is good. Confucianism will not say it to death, and you have to jump left and right.

Do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you. People are generally willing to accept this, but there are special cases. For example, if a rich man says that he does not like money, so he will not give you money, then everyone will definitely be unhappy.

However, if you want to establish yourself, establish others, and if you want to achieve yourself, achieve others, people are generally unwilling to accept it. After all, people are different. Some people like to eat special ingredients such as canned herring, stinky tofu, and natto. They think they are delicious, but not everyone likes to eat them. If people who like to eat them insist that people who do not like to eat them also eat them, everyone will not be able to stand it.

But in fact, this situation of Meng Mu is very common. If you think it is good, you want to recommend it to others. A movie, a TV series, a restaurant, a tourist attraction, a useful small household appliance... If you think it is good, you will try to sell it to others.

The king needs to "establish others when you want to establish yourself, and achieve others when you want to achieve yourself". The king is like Meng Mu, who must lead his people in the right direction, even if his people oppose it, the king must move forward.

In Jinbei's view, Ace is right not only to accept the fish-man himself, but also to ask others to accept the fish-man. However, he did not immediately join Ace, but continued to observe to see how many people would support the homology theory.

The theory has just come out, so there must not be many people who support it, but there are still some. Because the homology theory explains the origin of humans very well and answers the question of human origin.

Although it is not perfect, it is at least an answer.

It's like the theory of evolution saying that humans evolved from monkeys. Not everyone likes this answer, but until there is a better answer, they can only reluctantly accept it.
