Ye Mu vs. Sengoku (3)

No one had ever spoken to Sengoku like this.

When he was young, he had lived his entire life in the Marines, busy every day with suppressing pirates.

After reaching middle age and rising to a high position, he had already become unable to change his stance and consider matters from the pirates' perspective.

Especially after becoming an admiral, the interests of the Marines and the World Government had become more important to him than anything else.

The reason was simple. From what he could see, the order established by the Marines and the World Government was the ultimate reason this world had remained stable for so many years despite the pirates' rampage.

Therefore, he spared no effort to protect the order he believed in, even if it meant making certain sacrifices.

This was what he called Justice That Reigns Supreme.

But at this moment, the justice he had always believed in and taken pride in had been torn to shreds by Ye Mu.

Why were there so many pirates in this world?

Had he never been troubled by this question?

The Marines had clearly been working hard to suppress the pirates, so why were there still more and more of them, as if they could never be caught? Especially with the Great Pirate Era now ushered in by Roger, the waves of pirates setting out to sea came one after another, and the Marines were completely powerless to stop them.

What was it all for?

Roger's treasure?

That seemed like one reason.

But it could not explain why pirates continued to emerge endlessly.

He had vaguely guessed the answer, but he could not bring himself to believe it.

Because the existence of that answer would overturn the order he had always believed in and the justice he had upheld.
