Chapter 248 What Is Justice?

The key is,

Kuzan himself has spiritual flaws, and his persistence in justice is the most unstable type.

certainly,

This part is unstable,

It was because of what he did under the World Government that he had doubts about himself.

It was precisely because of that doubt and the series of events he witnessed later.

As a result, after Kuzan failed to compete with Akainu for the position of marshal in the Summit War, he knew that the strength of the Navy Headquarters had been severely damaged due to the Whitebeard Pirates.

He chose to leave the navy and even later joined Blackbeard's command.

Although the specific reason for adding Blackbeard is unknown.

The only thing that is certain is.

At that time, Kuzan could no longer believe in the justice represented by the navy's position.

After he was sure that he could not become a marshal of the navy and could not make the navy go where he expected.

The disappointed Kuzan chose to leave, wandering on the sea confused and unstoppable.

Until for unknown reasons, he found Blackbeard and joined them.

‘If he can join Blackbeard, why can’t he join me? ’

This is what Ron was thinking at this time.

Kuzan was so disappointed by the justice that the Navy and the World Government represented that he made the decision to leave the Navy.

Even confusing him enough to join Blackbeard's army.

So,

Why can't you join him?

At least,

Ron believes that his view of justice must be in line with what Kuzan thinks justice should be like.

certainly,

What Ron is doing now is just to bury a wedge.

Today's Kuzan cannot be induced or even controlled with just a few words!

Faced with Ron's words,

Kuzan obviously had a tendency to clench his hands, and the glass bottle of sherry in his hand also had some cracks.

Just one sentence,

Just a judgment made by the enemy made him obviously mentally unstable.

Because this is the truth!

After the World Government issued an order to kill O'Hara,

Let the navy use artillery fire to destroy all people and things that dare to touch the blank 100 years of history.

Kuzan, then a lieutenant general, also participated.

Yes,

At that time, Kuzan did not think that the order to kill O'Hara was wrong.

‘Justice changes as one’s position changes. ’

‘So I understand your current position. The justice of protecting civilians is also justice. ’

‘I also know that targeting unarmed scholars who are just studying history cannot be called justice. ’

'But since the world government is so unwilling to let a hundred years of history explode, there must be a reason that has a major negative impact. ’

‘The choice made for the future development of the world is also helpless, not to mention that they are indeed breaking the law. ’

‘Law is the embodiment of order. ’

This is what Kuzan said to his old friend who became a former Marine at that time, and the person protected by his old friend was Nicole Robin.

after that,

An explosion interrupted his words.

Cannonballs from the ship of the current three generals Akainu and then Vice Admiral Sakaski.

Exploded on an asylum ship full of refugees.

The fire engulfed the ship filled with innocent people, allowing real civilians to perish at sea.

Sakaski's reasoning afterwards was simple.

"Once any historian gets involved, this sacrifice will be in vain."

Kuzan unconsciously uttered that answer, and the sherry in his hand was completely crushed, and the wine spilled on the floor.

Perhaps it was Sakaski's performance at that time that he found unacceptable.

Then the decision to let Robin go was made.

For more than ten years since then, I have been secretly following Robin.

Even if he couldn't agree with it, rationally speaking.

When the situation is irreversible, Sakaski's determination is necessary.

Use a few sacrifices for greater results.

this,

It’s Kuzan’s current conflicted psychology, pursuing the root cause of Robin’s situation!

Unable to kill and deny his own justice.

Even the young Robin has a bounty of 79 million Baileys and is an enemy standing opposite the World Government.

Kuzan still couldn't take action.

But again,

He is also afraid that the O'Hara incident will happen again because of Robin's pursuit, resulting in the terrible future that Sakaski talks about.

The released Robin caused another O'Hara's demon-slaying order.

so,

He would appear in that way and freeze everything in Demon Valley Town.

If you only come here as an admiral, there is no need to do this.

"She told you a lot."

Kuzan was silent for a moment;

He casually wiped his wet hands on his justice coat.

Surprisingly, Ron shook his head.

"No, Robin doesn't trust me to this extent."

"?what is that?"

"Someone can always see the past and the future. Just like the text of history."

"."

Kuzan frowned, unable to understand.

Is this rhetoric about ability?

If that were the case, this person would be even more dangerous.

He thought for a while and did not pursue it. Instead, he took the unopened bottle of sherry in front of Ron.

He bit off the cork and took another swig. The strong liquor entering his throat made him feel a little more at ease.

"So, what do you want to say? In other words, what is the benefit for you to take the risk of standing here and telling this?"

After confirming that Robin could not be seen, Kuzan chose the direction he wanted to know.

"Talk, plant a seed."

"what is that?"

"What is justice?"

"As a pirate, are you really qualified to say this?"

"Let me try again, I am not a pirate."

"Then, what are you?"

“Ambitionist, careerist or whatever.

My long-cherished wish is to turn this world I don’t like into something I like. "

".Looks like."

Kuzan paused while drinking. He looked at Ron, who was still smiling, with a cold expression: "You are as dangerous as Robin."

"You've said this before, and it seems like you're a little bit irritated.

Mr. Kuzan, when people are confused.

I will unconsciously repeat the previous fragments to keep my continuous thinking going.

In other words, you are thinking, right?

Rather than decisively, resolutely, and unquestionably rejecting my words? "

Ron looked calmer, as if he was the one in control.

"Hehe, maybe."

Kuzan did not deny it eagerly, but said indifferently: "So, how do you want to talk to me? Talk about justice with a navy?"

"First, ask questions."

Ron raised a finger: "For you, for your navy, for everyone in this world.

What does it mean for a world government that has stood on the sea for 800 years? "

"Isn't the answer a matter of course?"

Kuzan frowned: "It's justice, order, rights, and an entity that represents the ruler."

"really."

Ron nodded deeply and did not refute Kuzan at all.

because,

Kuzan was telling the truth, he realized it when Nami cried.

The people in the impression of this world are alive, so naturally things are also alive.

“In your eyes and in your eyes, World Government is absolutely correct.

Because since eight hundred years ago, you have been exposed to things, perceptions, stories, history and other things.

They are all telling this absolute truth.

Human beings are creatures with limitations, and blind following is one of them. After all, they are social creatures.”

This is what Ron realized after understanding the society of One Piece.

Eight hundred years,

What does this number represent?

If it is a long war,

For short-lived soldiers, it may be the eighteenth generation of their ancestors.

Even if a commoner with a prosperous life could live to be a hundred years old, that would still be a time span of almost seven or eight generations.

Children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, these are the divisions of family relationships.

So,

How many people can pronounce the representative words of the upper class seniors?

Maybe.

But what if it’s going up?

The ratio is low to almost non-existent.

in this case.

What will become of a world government that has always been a ruling class?

answer,

Absolutely correct.

No matter what it has done, no matter what its nature is, no matter what it will become in the future.

Right now, in this world where information is limited and cannot circulate smoothly.

World government represents absolute correctness.

There may be a scandal, but as long as it doesn't happen on a large scale to the world, or even before it's witnessed.

This representative will never waver.

Because that's been the case for eight hundred years.

The inertia of thinking is the reason why people in the world cannot realize the problem.

The 'knowledge' that can awaken them does not exist here.

Message channels are controlled.

Possible turning points are also controlled.

For example, historical text.

In this case, it is necessary to talk about the navy again.

O'Hara's demon-slaying order incident was simply a phenomenon that was so absurd that it went against the common sense of the military for Ron, who had knowledge of his past life.

So what is the basis for this judgment?

The answer comes from Ron's knowledge in his previous life.

for example,

When the soldiers enter the disaster area, the affected refugees will ask for help as if they were seeing their relatives.

but,

Is this phenomenon an absolute truth?

answer,

It is an absolute truth in the country where Ron lives.

Many people see that the identity of a soldier is freely transferred to the body of a soldier.

But this army is the only one in the past five thousand years that can be called a disciple army.

Seeing soldiers when a disaster occurs is like seeing relatives, it is something that can only happen here.

There is a saying in the past.

Bandits pass by like combing soldiers through a grate.

It would be even more outrageous if it were placed in a lighthouse country.

Just as soldiers bring firearms to disaster relief, their main purpose is not to rescue, but to suppress possible riots in the disaster area.

The government may not help the weak affected by the disaster.

For example, during the Texas blackout, the words of the mayor who resigned at the speed of light were naked.

‘The strong survive and the weak are eliminated, and only certainism will rescue them. ’

This is a cruel fact, but it also represents a very simple fact.

The logic of social operation determines the rules of the superstructure.

So,

You can understand the current situation in the One Piece world.

You can even understand the Navy's position.

Even those who have lived in the Haizi team can immediately understand the Navy's approach.

Protecting civilians is just part of the job and is why most sailors join the military.

But the significance of the existence of this army is indeed a tool for the world government to maintain its own rule.

Even if many people know there is something wrong, they will just continue.

for example.

Suppose someone who joined the Navy realized the problem, what would he do?

first,

This man who joined the navy joined the navy because his family was ruined by pirates and he wanted to fight against pirates.

So if he needs naval power, then he must maintain naval power.

Even if it helps the tyrant to do evil,

But upholding the corrupt rule of the World Government means he can fight a hundred pirates.

The loss was the oppression of forty or fifty civilians.

But if there is no world government, the oppression of the forties and fifties may be reduced to the twenty-thirties.

But of the one hundred units that were originally attacked, less than ten units were able to be attacked after they became stragglers.

Because the world government is gone, what remains are the kingdoms isolated by the sea.

They would not fight against pirates somewhere for the sake of an accident somewhere far away.

It is better to maintain a corrupt power than to replace order in a chaotic world.

This,

This is the stance of One Piece World Navy!

The kind of justice that Ron was familiar with had never existed here.

And now,

What Ron told Kuzan is what justice should look like in his eyes.

"In the final analysis, the justice in your eyes is given to you by the world government, a tool of justice that the world government needs.

Why not return it to the way it was originally? Return to the kind of justice that most people expected from the beginning? "

Ron stopped here and looked at Kuzan, who was slightly bowing his head, waiting for an answer.

"I see."

Kuzan suddenly raised his head and stared closely at the demon-like man in front of him.

"Understand what?"

Ron asked curiously. He didn't think the discussion just now would be accepted by Kuzan now.

"Robin joined you for a reason, you guys are the same!"

Kuzan raised his hand, he had to admit that what the other party said made some sense.

But he absolutely cannot accept the process brought about by that truth.

It is too absurd to overthrow the world government because of one mistake.

So much so that he couldn't think about that future at all, and he felt terrified just thinking about it.

Instead of believing such nonsense, he might as well try his own method!

"Is it?"

Ron sighed with regret, knowing that he had failed.

indeed,

After all, he is not a protagonist like Nika, and Kuzan is not to that extent either.

"Is there any other way?"

Kuzan said coldly,

The cold in the room has become as strong as Bai Wu: "To be honest, I didn't intend to kill you at the beginning.

After communicating with you, you successfully changed my mind.

Having trouble like Nicole Robin by your side will only bring more trouble! "

Without warning,

The extreme ice vapor froze the entire house.

Whether it's the dust in the air or something else, or the young man who was chatting before.

All turned into translucent ice in the extreme cold.

"."

Kuzan put down his hand and subconsciously placed his hand on his beating heart.

He seemed to want to say something to end this unpleasant meeting.

but,

An unexpected scene happened.
