"It's like a vacation, so I came home to visit. By the way, have you seen Cass?"
Kuro asked.
When Cass was mentioned, Lipa became even more excited. "Did you see the newspaper too? Cass has truly inherited your approach. His unwavering resistance against pirates has inspired the navy in a large area of the surrounding seas. Now there are very few pirates left in these areas."
newspaper?
What newspaper?
It even made it into the newspapers?!
And what about my operating principles?
What is my guiding principle?
Is publishing it in the newspaper really considered my guiding principle?!
Kuro took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He needed to stay calm.
"Then, what about Cass?"
"As for Cass, he must have gone out on patrol. There are no pirates in the surrounding waters anymore, so he must have gone to other waters."
Kuro's temple veins bulged. "Going to waters under the jurisdiction of other branches? What's he going to do so far away? Does he even have the authority?"
Lipa asked curiously, "He's not going to kill pirates. He's just spreading your will and the path of justice. I have to say, Cass has influenced a lot of people. Kuro, this is all thanks to you."
"..."
Kuro swallowed hard. "So, where did he go?"
"What's the rush? He'll be back in a while. He's finally on vacation, so he should stay home a bit longer. He hasn't been back in a long time, and I'd like to catch up with you," Li Pa said with a hearty laugh.
I'll tell you your grandma's mouth!
Given how far Cass is from the East China Sea, what's the point of reminiscing? Are you planning to see me on the list of casualties and then try to catch up with me?!
Kuro almost roared, "That wasn't my doing! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Kuro, you..."
Lipa froze, looking at Kuro with an incredulous expression.
This startled him; oh no, he had accidentally spoken it aloud.
He's a navy officer, after all; how could he say something so unambitious?
“I already knew, Kuro.”
Lipa sighed, "That's just the kind of person you are..."
Sure enough, Li Pa had already figured out her own tendency to drift along.
"In that case, tell Cass that I..."
Before Kuro could finish speaking, Ripa said, "So this is the kind of good Navy officer who takes care of his subordinates."
"..."
"?"
"Indeed, you have already gone to headquarters, and you were not involved in some of the achievements of the East China Sea."
Lipa said, "But that doesn't mean you have no merit. Your will has inspired not only Cass but also me. Despite being frail and sickly, and possessing that cursed swordsmanship, you still used it for the sake of justice. This tenacious sense of justice is what we need!"
Everyone has their own interpretation of justice, but those at the lower levels are not qualified to interpret justice, nor do they think about what kind of justice they should have, because their level is not high enough.
Those who have their own interpretation of justice are all big shots.
Justice that reigns supreme.
Pure justice.
Complete justice.
Lazy justice.
Ambiguous justice.
The justice of strategy.
Wait, wait, wait...
The high-ranking figures, having undergone the baptism of the strong, understand what kind of justice they need, while the lower-ranking naval officers would never understand such things.
It was through Kuro that Lipa found the justice that he and others needed.
That is 'unyielding justice'.
As a marine, no matter how difficult it is to fight pirates, you must be tenacious and fight to earn the honor of the navy!
The same is true for Lipa, the same is true for Kas, and the same is true for the navy influenced by Kas.
Looking into Rippa's clear yet excited eyes, Kuro couldn't help but rub his forehead, feeling utterly powerless.
He had nothing left to talk about with Lipa, whom Cass had portrayed as a monster of imagination. The most urgent thing now was to find Cass, the culprit, and explain the truth to him.
You can preach your justice, but don't drag me into it!
I am safe justice!
Not stubborn justice!
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "The concept of justice needs to be supplemented. I feel that many points have not been mentioned. I need to talk to Cass about my understanding of justice."
"In that case... I'll ask."
Lipa called in a navy officer and asked him to send a telegram to Cass's ship. The telegram was returned shortly afterward.
"Cas said he was in the 160th branch."
"good!"
Kuro responded and turned to leave.
"No, uh, Cass..."
Lipa was about to say something, but Kuro walked too fast and didn't hear her at all, leaving Lipa weakly saying, "I sent a telegram saying you were coming, and he's on his way now..."
"Head to the waters off Branch 160!"
After leaving, Kuro immediately boarded the ship, without even exchanging pleasantries, and ordered the navy to head straight for the 160th branch. The ship sailed towards the 160th headquarters.
...
160th Branch Base.
square.
"The so-called justice means being unyielding in the face of pirates. My superior, Kuro, proved with his actions that even if the enemy is invulnerable, as long as you have a strong sense of justice, you will definitely be able to defeat them!"
But we are not the strongest, so we need collective strength. Swords, guns, fists, legs, teeth—as long as we have strength, as long as we have comrades, we must fight on and show the pirates the tenacity and courage of the Navy!
Cass stood at the front of the square, shouting passionately.
If at the beginning, when Cass was preparing to carry out Kuro's 'unyielding justice,' he was hindered, looked down upon, or attacked, but after he wiped out the pirates in the 153rd Sea Area, making them prefer to take a detour rather than come to their area, the navies in various regions began to implement the will of justice that Cass spoke of for the sake of peace in their respective jurisdictions.
The effect was bizarre.
They tried to believe in the tenacious justice that Cass promoted, and they seemed to really become good at fighting, even when they were injured, and all they could think about was how to defeat the pirates.
In this state, they actually managed to defeat the pirates.
Then, I believed even more.
If Zango were here, he would be very familiar with this situation.
It's a form of hypnosis.
It's a whole-body experience; compared to hypnosis from others, self-hypnosis is more comprehensive.
Their strength, defense, attack intensity, and aggressiveness are all greater than before.
Those who knew nothing about it spoke of it, while those who didn't regard it as a high platform and made daily offerings to it. As a result, the navy in the nearby waters gradually became more ferocious.
He would be happy to see this if it weren't for Kuro's name.
After all, wouldn't it be safer if there were fewer pirates in the East Blue?
But you can't include your own name.
Kas's propaganda was actually quite simple: take it one step at a time, completely "conquer" one branch before moving on to the next, and use his actions and words to convince the Marines that "unyielding justice" was the only way to deal with pirates.
He had previously been promoting and combating pirates at Branch 160, and his arrival at the branch to give a speech signifies that the Navy of Branch 160 has fully accepted this sense of justice.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky.
"Mr. Kuro, did you see that? I, Cass, will never betray your justice!"
