"Wang Luffy beats up a Celestial Dragon? On the eve of the Marineford War?"
Lu Renjia had also watched the anime One Piece and knew its plot.
If he had come to the world of One Piece at the beginning, perhaps he would have also gone to save Fire Fist Ace.
But things are different now. In his eyes, Fire Fist Ace's life is no different from the death of an ant, a blade of grass, or even a floating particle.
He has now broken free from egoism and understands that there are no different kinds of beings in the world; everything in the world is equal and there is no difference between them.
Others will die, and so will I.
The reason why the strong can live so comfortably is simply because of their reputation as strong and the great power they possess.
Fire Fist Ace brought this upon himself. If he hadn't been so arrogant and conceited, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
His death had nothing to do with Lu Renjia.
Arriving in this world was merely a stop on his journey.
If others don't bother him, he won't bother them either.
If anyone dares to mess with him, he will surely make sure they are reduced to ashes.
Lu Renjia stepped out of his secluded spot and curiously surveyed the scenery of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The most striking sight in the Sabaody Archipelago is undoubtedly the towering trees with their numbers.
However, the scene was chaotic at the moment, which disturbed his enjoyment of the scenery.
A large group of pirates fled in panic, as if they were running from some great terror.
"Damn Straw Hat, doesn't he know that attacking a Celestial Dragon will attract the attention of a Marine Admiral?!"
"If he wants to die, don't drag us down with him. This so-called 'Worst Generation' is just a bunch of lunatics who never think about the consequences of their actions!"
These pirates had only one thought in mind: to leave the Sabaody Archipelago immediately.
Otherwise, you won't have the chance to leave.
Lu Renjia calmly surveyed the group of desperados, his eyes devoid of any pity.
Although Luffy's beating up the Celestial Dragons had nothing to do with them, they were pirates, so isn't it only right for the Navy to catch pirates?
They can't blame anyone but themselves; they can only blame themselves for not being strong enough.
If they possessed strength comparable to a Navy Admiral, they wouldn't be in such a pathetic state.
Lu Renjia felt no emotional fluctuation at all regarding their plight.
Wang Luffy's actions were indeed unethical, dragging other pirates into the mess, but isn't that just the nature of pirates?
Do you really think that what's portrayed in anime is the complete personality of a pirate crew?
Perhaps they are indeed very kind to some ordinary people and villagers, but do they really think that others will want to accept their kindness?
Pirates are pirates after all, no matter how many good deeds they do or how many people they help.
If the Navy, the "strongest force at sea," were to slightly distort the truth, those who are unaware of the facts would all believe that pirates are no good.
Even those naval personnel who are corrupt and oppress civilians are still seen as righteous figures in the eyes of the people, as long as they are not exposed.
Therefore, just because you do something doesn't mean others will think you're right.
What you consider right may be wrong in the eyes of others.
Luffy beats up a Celestial Dragon just to save his mermaid friend, and in his and his crew's eyes, that's the right thing to do.
But in the eyes of pirates and the navy, he was wrong.
There is no absolute justice or evil, only different positions and different perspectives on things.
Since Wang Lufei caused this mess himself, he naturally has to take responsibility for it.
Lu Renjia stopped thinking about it once he reached this point.
He stepped away from the pirates, not wanting his journey to be disrupted.
However, if he doesn't go to others, others will come to him.
The leaders of the fleeing pirates were filled with greed when they saw Lu Renjia dressed so well.
A gruesome scar ran across his forehead, suggesting he had almost been split open.
"Dressed so well, that kid must be a nobleman! Perfect timing, I'm about to leave Sabaody Archipelago, and I haven't gotten a single benefit yet, so I'll use you as my starting point!"
The moment a greedy thought arose in his mind, he sped up and rushed toward Lu Renjia.
"Kid, don't run away. Your scarred grandpa is short on cash. If you don't want to die, hurry up and send your men over with a few hundred million or tens of millions of Berries!"
He was over two meters tall, and his muscles were as strong and muscular as a dragon.
When it runs, it's like a brown bear, possessing both power and speed.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed up to Lu Renjia and reached out to grab him without saying a word.
"Captain, don't waste too much time. If that kid doesn't know what's good for him, just kill him. The admiral will be back soon, we don't have time to waste."
Among the group of pirates, one who was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, with two hairs growing from his mouth, and who looked shifty-eyed, gave a reminder.
He was the strategist of this pirate crew and immediately understood his captain's thoughts.
Therefore, he used those words to threaten Lu Renjia, hoping to make him obediently submit.
After all, what wouldn't pirates do when they're desperate to escape?
Such things happen repeatedly on the Sabaody Archipelago, and Lu Renjia is just one of the "lucky ones".
Wang Luffy did indeed save his mermaid friend, but because of him, many innocent civilians lost their lives.
If we look at it from a different perspective, it becomes easy to see that what Luffy and his friends did wasn't actually as positive as it was portrayed in the anime.
To put it bluntly, it's all for their own benefit.
He saved his friend, but made many more innocent people pay the price.
Is he good or bad?
Many people did nothing wrong, yet they lost their lives because of his recklessness.
Lu Renjia was just one of those implicated, a microcosm of those harmed by Wang Lufei.
Looking at the mountain-sized man in front of him, he remained calm, as if he hadn't seen him at all.
Enraged by the sight, the scarred man glared at him and roared, "Kid, hurry up, or my big knife will be chopping you down on the head!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Renjia remained expressionless.
Seeing this, the scarred man became furious, but for Bailey's sake, he did not immediately attack the blind boy in front of him.
He winked at the pirates not far away, signaling them to make their move and show Lu Renjia the cruelty of pirates.
Two or three pirates approached a middle-aged man and his family dressed in tattered clothes, revealing cruel smiles.
"Hehehe, you penniless piece of trash, go to hell!"
With a swift stroke, he severed the middle-aged man's head, splattering blood all over the face of the woman and the young boy beside him.
"The father of my child!"
"dad!"
Instantly, the mother and son screamed in agony, tears streaming down their faces.
The pirates looked at Lu Renjia smugly, trying to see fear on his face.
However, Lu Renjia remained expressionless, as if he had become accustomed to such things.
As time ticked by, the scarred man grew anxious; the navy's warships were rapidly encircling the Sabaody Archipelago.
Between life and wealth, he chose the former.
"Damn brat, you wasted so much of my time! Die!"
After saying that, he swung his arm and brought his sword down on Lu Renjia's head!
However, the scene of blood splattering on the spot did not occur; the broadsword stopped 34 centimeters above Lu Renjia's head.
No matter how hard the scarred man tried, the broadsword could not advance even an inch.
"Have you finished babbling on and on?"
