This is a strategy!
Making the largest overlord of the sea, Marine, completely stand on their side is the safest. This is the real core force.
Their conversation did not avoid people at all. Behind them stood some weird-looking Marines, including Smoker, Tina, Onigumo, and One Smile…
But after their strange expressions, they didn't have time to care about these two people, because something more shocking was waiting for them.
One Smile was now holding two books in his hand. One had a golden cover with the words "Justice Faith" written on it, while the other looked more luxurious than the golden cover. It had a thick cover inlaid with gold and gems. It was very thin inside and seemed to have no pages.
But when he opened it, there was a piece of paper covering the cover.
There was also a line of words on the cover—
"Justice's Seven-Step Grass."
For these Marines with important positions and even a warlord, it is not easy to persuade them.
They did not say anything about Kuro's current combat power and achievements, and they were also shaken by his words, so they boarded the ship, but they were only shaken. After the surging in their hearts disappeared, they were thinking.
Is what Kuro said really possible?
They wanted to ask Kuro for an explanation and ask him what he was thinking, but Kaz and Wilbur stopped them at this time and threw down two books for them to read.
Although Yixiao was blind, someone next to him read it out loud.
Then…
The shocking information in the book made them unable to control themselves for a long time.
One Smile's five fingers were trembling slightly because he was holding the book. He was obviously exerting strength in his knuckles and was in an agitated state, but he seemed to be afraid that the car would break this precious book, so he forcefully controlled himself, causing his body to tremble slightly.
He raised his head and opened his eyes that were full of white. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his mind was full of the contents of the Seven Steps of Justice, especially the final declaration.
"There is no more exploitation, no more war, the young are no longer worried about homelessness, the old are no longer worried about having no support, the young are free to choose their own path, and all races are peacefully intertwined."
That declaration made Yixiao subconsciously think of the heroic feelings of that man when he silently swore to himself that he would fulfill this long-cherished wish when he joined the Marine.
It's just…
"It makes me excited!"
With a smile, he sighed and said, "I really want to see that world… If these eyes are not blind, will I really see it?"
Smoker pursed his lips and clenched his hands until the veins were exposed. His body was trembling.
He joined the Marine to find justice, but even now, he doesn't understand what justice is.
Straw Hat … back in Alabasta, he was Justice, so Smoker didn't want to catch him.
But in Impel Down…
Smoker could no longer judge the two sides of people.
But this justice did enlighten him.
That's right, isn't that what justice is all about? Isn't that what Marines are working hard for?
Capturing pirates is to prevent them from creating chaos. Protecting the sea and peace actually has such an effect, but this is not enough, because there are still some people above who can destroy these 'chaos'. Then the real justice and peace…
Is it coming?
As long as it was Marine, everyone who saw this thing was shocked.
Then, he subconsciously immersed himself in it and imagined such a world. Even if he was as cold as a ghost spider, he would smile.
Didn't they become Marines for justice at first?
If they don't have the heart to eliminate evil, they might as well be pirates.
Even Onigumo, who is so extreme that he can kill his subordinates, must be killed by Evil. For this, he will do anything.
But a world like that…
He might be able to put down the butcher knife.
Click.
Smoker took out a coiled snake cigar from the strap on his arm and bit it in his mouth. He lit it with a lighter and took a deep breath before blowing out the smoke.
"Let's do it!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll accompany that bastard to Mariejois!"
"Tina…"
Tina bit the cigarette and murmured for a while. Finally, she gritted her teeth and almost crushed the cigarette in her mouth.
"Tina also wants to see him!"
That kind of world is very attractive to them.
No, I should say, particularly attractive!
That kind of world is almost the peaceful world that every Marine would think of. No, it's countless times higher than the peaceful world they thought of.
If there is such a world …
Will pirates really stay on the sea all the time? Even if there are still pirates at that time, will they be much better than now? Will they be on a completely different level?
They are Marines, and their duty is to catch pirates. When the time comes, they will continue to catch pirates. There is no such thing as the higher-ups telling them what to do and there is no need to do anything against their conscience. They just need to catch pirates in the simplest way.
And the world can be transformed just as Kuro thought, even if it is only a little…
To them, it was a beautiful scenery they had never seen before.
"What are they doing?"
On the other ship, Beru Maybo said curiously.
As for Kirby, he was still squatting there feeling lost about Luffy's death.
At their level, they could not go to the Golden Lion as representatives, although Kirby did not know why they went there.
Although they are both Vice-Admiral, Vice-Admiral and Vice-Admiral are still different. Kirby is a newly promoted Vice-Admiral, even the kind with an unstable foundation. Garp doesn't have so much 'inheritance' for him to inherit, and most of them have returned to Kuzan with his return.
Those who are not experienced or have some status will not be able to enter that ship.
However, soon, Beru Maybo heard some impassioned voices coming from the Golden Lion, as if they were arguing. Their tone was quite agitated, but they also seemed to be taking an oath. He did not know what they were doing.
"Although that's the case…"
Smoker bit his cigar and stared at the bearded man. "Hey, Cass, can you really promise that the world will become like that after our victory? You have to know that there is a high chance that the world will be chaotic."
Without the World Government, the sea will definitely fall into chaos. There is no doubt about it.
"I don't know."
Kaz shook his head and said very honestly, "All we can do is to do something as simple as thinking. We haven't even done anything. What's the use of thinking so much?"
Wilbur said, "The World Government has ruled the world for 800 years. Maybe their original intention was good, but it has to be mentioned that they have indeed gone bad now. Maybe we will go bad in the future, but that is 'later'. No one can say for sure about that kind of thing, but no matter what…"
He closed his eyes and reached up to hug her. He said piously, "Maybe we will already go wrong and walk on an unknown path, but at least for now, we believe in that ideal and will fight for it."
"And this ideal itself can't be wrong. We are the only ones who are wrong, so it will be realized, even if it takes another 800 years, or 8,000 years!!"
He opened his eyes. At this time, the sun was shining directly behind him, shining on Wilbur as if he was shrouded in holy light, making people unable to open their eyes.
"Fight for the right ideal. That's what we are for. That's enough because…"
"This ideal is so charming."
Ideals… are so fascinating.
"I see…"
Smoker lowered his head and smiled. "Then I have no objections. That's it. Let's fight first."
Yes, that ideal is indeed so charming.
Even if something irrevocable happens in the future, for now, their original intentions are good and their ideals at this time are good. They have never thought of ruling the world, and that is enough.
They are just pure Marines, fighting for the ideals of peace.
"Sa, we are about to arrive at the Red Line. I heard that pirates will talk about their ideals when they arrive at the Red Line. Then let's take the oath. Different from pirates, we Marines have only one ideal from beginning to end."
Kaz suddenly stretched out his hand and said to everyone, "For world peace."
