Chapter IX The So-called Justice
The reason why Kizaru smiled bitterly was very simple. He found that he had thought about it too simply.
Compared to himself, this guy named Uchiha Gong is the real "old fried dough stick". He grasped the tone, topic, and the timing of appropriately showing his strength during the conversation.
Now that the initiative is completely controlled by the other party, Kizaru has completely fallen into a passive state in the conversation. But this is also because the situation is stronger than that of humans. Kizaru can only lament his own destiny in his heart, why did he encounter this pervert?
Should I find a "witch" to help me divinate next time I go out?
"Okay, let's continue with the topic just now. You actually want to ask me if my real purpose is right... In fact, you don't need to interfere with each other. I have no clear purpose for the time being. If so, it's probably similar to the destruction of the world."
Xuan said with a flat smile, and Kizaru's forehead was covered with cold sweat again. He smiled dryly, "Mr. Xuan, you are really good at joking."
"Oh, so you thought it was a joke." Xuan shrugged, but no longer explained anything.
For a moment, the expression on Kizaru's face stiffened. He always felt that the other party's tone seemed to be not simply joking. This guy named Uchiha Kung might really do something dangerous to "destroy the world".
Deep down, he directly listed Xuan as the highest "terrorist" and belonged to the type that must not be offended.
In fact, Xuan himself is not sure whether he will "destroy the world" in the end. For the growth of his own divine kingdom and to cope with the drastic changes countless years later, he has to constantly accumulate strength.
The accumulation of power requires the origin of the world.
But until now, he had never seen the complete origin of the world. He had not yet understood how to grasp the tail of the origin of the world... And once the origin of the world is withdrawn, it is also a question of where the world will go.
In short, it may be that the consequences may not be very good.
"Master Xuan, are you a Revolutionary Army?" Kizaru asked carefully. He hoped that what Xuan just said was an abstract concept, and in his mind, only what the Revolutionary Army did could be called "destroying the world."
Well... overthrowing the existing world government is also a kind of destruction of the world.
"no!"
But then Xuan's answer shattered his self-comfort.
"Then are you a pirate?"
"No, at least not now."
Xuan's second answer made Kizaru feel a glimmer of hope, and his eyes lit up, "It's not a pirate, which means you haven't joined any force yet, right? So should you consider joining the Navy?"
"Oh?" Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He never expected Kizaru to suddenly propose this. He showed an interesting expression and whispered, "I'm joining the Navy? What's the benefit?"
Kizaru smiled awkwardly, and he suddenly felt that he was saving the world. This task he had previously regarded as Zhang's tiring work had always been despised by him, but now he had to go on the battlefield personally. Because he felt that if he did not dispel some of Xuan's thoughts at this time, he might even be implicated in the future and then he would not even be left with a scum.
"Of course there are benefits." At this time, Kizaru began to speak nonsense, "From the strength you show, if you agree to join the navy, I will personally recommend it. Even the position of general will not be a problem, and you may even become the new naval marshal."
"And our navy is the strongest force in maintaining justice in the sea. After you become a navy, everything you do becomes a righteous thing, and everything you can get the title of righteousness. Since you have such strong strength, you should maintain peace in the sea... As long as you are willing to join the navy, we can discuss any conditions."
Xuan looked at Kizaru and smiled and said, "Can I understand what you said from another perspective? That is to say, as long as I join the navy, I can do evil in the name of justice. Whether it is 'forced robbery of the people' or 'killing and setting fire', it is legal and reasonable, right?"
"Uh!" Kizaru was stunned and silenced for two seconds, "If you have to understand this way, it's okay, but... our navy also has rules and cannot let many things happen or do whatever they want."
"It's really like this?" Xuan's smile curled up, "Then explain to me what happened to the Tianlong people."
Hearing Xuan’s question, Kizaru fell silent. After a moment, he said helplessly, “That… the Tianlong people are not our navy, they belong to the world government, I’m sorry.”
"Ha... you don't need to apologize for this kind of thing." Xuan chuckled, and his eyes continued to turn to the sea. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Kizaru, for you, what is the meaning of the justice of the navy?"
Unexpectedly, when he was asked this question suddenly, Kizaru looked up, and when he saw the vast ocean, he fell into long-term contemplation.
A moment later he showed his memories and said, "Many years ago, when I was in the naval training camp, someone asked me the same question. At that time, my answer was, 'What is the meaning of justice? It's probably a rich and glamorous name. In the end, don't look at anyone's fist'. But now, I have been a navy for so many years, and I find that justice still has meaning."
"Speak and listen."
Kizaru took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This ocean, this world needs to exist, and 'justice' is essential. People living in the world do not have the strength to protect themselves. When facing various threats, they are not much more vulnerable than ants. At this time, order, rules, and power are essential... and these are transformed into the power to protect them, which is what they call "justice".
The so-called justice is a community that is in line with the interests of the vast majority of people, which is what I understand. Of course, now it seems that the navy with justice as its dogma has deteriorated a bit, and there are many problems among us, and the objects we really protect are not those civilians.
