Chapter 620 Truth
Jin almost burst out laughing.
But Yamato's next sentence choked him.
"What is truth? Is it true that the sun rises from the east and sets from the west?"
Of course this is true. Jin was choked and couldn't speak, and Ran was even more angry. This kind of thing was a fact that even those with the ability of natural devil fruits could not change.
This is of course the truth.
"Then, in the Revolutionary Army, there are many such truths." Yamato sighed helplessly.
The deeper she understood the Revolutionary Army and the world, the more she could understand how ridiculous the things Oden recorded before were.
Perhaps for a story, the tragic Oden is a hero who implements his beliefs to the end, and is worth remembering by future generations.
But for a country and the people of the country, they do not want to act as a background board in such heroic narratives and heroic epics.
Ordinary people who act as background boards in this kind of narrative often have no good ending.
Yamato had been immersed in Oden's heroic epic before, feeling sad about spring and autumn. However, after she joined the Revolutionary Army and looked at the world from the perspective of the Revolutionary Army, she realized how pitiful and sad the civilians in Wano Country lived under Oden's rule.
Oden was willful before, and when he was a Son of Man, he did not do what the ruler's heir should do. Later, after following Whitebeard and Roger to the sea, he completely threw the entire country to his wife.
As a ruler, as a husband, as a father, he is not qualified.
Looking further, it was precisely because he had caused a huge disaster that the snake took advantage of the situation.
Although Orochi is a despicable villain, isn’t it Oden who exposes his weaknesses to Orochi and creates opportunities for Orochi?
Afterwards, Oden was just making up for his own mistakes.
However, facing the cunning Kaido and Orochi, he made mistakes again and again. At the last critical moment, facing the threat of Orochi and the choice of his own people, Oden made the stupidest decision.
When people's hearts wanted, he chose to abandon the lives of several people and dozens of people, and the free choice of surrendering to the snake, becoming a fool and clown in Jiuli.
After the people's hearts were turned against the current and broke down, he chose to go against the current and started a war against Orochi and Kaido with just ten people.
Whether it is time or time, they are all chosen like mentally retarded. In the eyes of Yamato, who is used to seeing the revolutionary army taking action at a wonderful time, after going back to look at Oden's letters and choices, it is like chewing wax and being tasteless.
Is this really a choice that a person can make? Why can he step on the wrong path every time?
After continuing to learn from the Revolutionary Army, she understood.
Because Oden has not received a serious education, Oden's education comes from his father, all of which are educated by the samurai family and general family. Oden, who was educated by this very classical education, was a good general and a hero, but he was not a good ruler, a good father and a good husband.
It is precisely because there is no serious education, no good teaching materials, and no truth guidance like the Revolutionary Army that Oden always steps on the most wrong choice.
If Oden is a hero, then he can ignore the lives of ordinary people and directly kill Orochi, and then save Wano Kingdom in the posture of a savior.
But he didn't.
If Oden was a smart man, then he would retreat at that time and ask for help from his father, even if it triggered a war between the two four emperors, he could save Wano Country from water and fire.
But he didn't.
He not only held his self-esteem that was more valuable than the people of countless Wano Kingdoms, but could not let go of his own pride and asked for help from Whitebeard and Roger, but he could not let go of his kindness and abandon the lives of those hijacked people in exchange for the new life of others.
This is a "good person" who is hesitant.
But when this good man takes the position of ruler because of his bloodline, the current situation of Wano Country will naturally appear.
If Oden could learn to be realistic back then, then he would not have had any too false way to "save everyone" to compromise with Orochi.
"Is it the truth that the country can live a good life?" Dahe continued to ask calmly.
Jin was silent. According to his three views, this is certainly not the truth.
Does the country have the responsibility to enable the people to live a better life?
For the pirates, for the countries controlled by the Four Emperors, they certainly do not.
But, is this really the case?
The reason why the people maintain the rule of the king is not just violence, isn’t they expecting the king to give them a better and better life?
If it were Quinn and Jack, he would immediately use ridicule to refute Yamato's remarks without hesitation, but as Jhin, who has ruled the island of Ghost in recent years, he fell into deep thought.
If the country cannot provide the people with a better life and more opportunities, it is natural for the people to abandon the country and leave.
It's like the island of ghost ruled by Ember.
Many pirates have fled from the Island of Ghost, because their treatment on the Island of Ghost is too far from when Kaido was there before.
And they could not see hope under Jhin's rule, of course they ran away in groups.
Most of these people joined the monarchs of Wano Kingdom, while others fled to surrender to the Revolutionary Army or joined the Supernova Alliance.
In short, Jin could not say against his conscience: Of course, the country should not provide the people with a generous life. This sentence comes.
Because facts have proved that if you don’t provide it, the people will abandon you and the people will vote with their feet!
Just like the civil war back then, and the people faced the big steak, big house, and big cars on the other side of the ocean after the reform.
All are typical examples of voting with your feet.
It is precisely because of this that it is meaningless to obey a certain dogma stubbornly and fundamentalist - when your fundamentals are separated from the welfare of the people and the interests of the country, some dogmas will become stumbling blocks and weapons for charlatans, used for political attacks and attacks.
When I put aside any idea or business, I look at all the original goals and actions of all countries, I can't escape it:
Work hard to improve the quality of people's living standards.
