When humans act, they are often biased due to emotions. Caring for the elderly and children and empathizing with suffering have almost become human instincts.
This is also why humans with emotions have no way to achieve so-called fairness when doing things.
For the people in this world, no matter how the rulers change, as long as the people in that position still have humanity and selfish desires, it is hard to say whether the person at the top will change his mind.
When the World Government was first established, did the 20 kings who created the world intend to enslave everyone?
This is not necessarily the case. If everyone had the same idea, there would be no saints like Doflamingo's parents among the Celestial Dragons, nor would there be kings like the Nefert family who left the Holy Land to live in their homeland.
Human beings are the most complex creatures in the world. Even an emerging force like the New Navy will eventually be corrupted by power over time and become a cancer of the world.
Even someone like Tsugikuni Yoriichi cannot reverse human nature, and he cannot see through everything.
but
When Tsugumi Yoriichi's humanity is completely stripped away, everything will change.
The dictatorship of a sage monarch will become possible. If Qi Yuanyuan can live forever like Yi, the power structure that rules the world will also undergo earth-shaking changes.
In the cave beneath the Red Earth Continent, Ji Guoyuan, who had just come out of the Holy Land, had a look of pain in his eyes.
His mind kept recalling the scene of his attack landing on the holy land. At this time, the powerful observation Haki allowed Yoriichi Tsugikuni to clearly sense how many people had died in his attack.
At that moment, all the good and evil Celestial Dragons living on the holy land were engulfed in golden flames, and all the hard-working slaves enslaved by the Celestial Dragons were also annihilated.
Not all people living in the holy land are evil. Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack also involved many innocent people.
At that juncture, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had not yet felt such guilt in his heart.
But when he left the holy land and escaped from the fighting atmosphere, his humanity returned and Tsugikuni Yoshiichi realized that his actions had deviated from his original intention of going to the holy land.
Although he can be said to have killed people like crazy, Tsugikuni Yoriichi believes that he has a relatively fair and reasonable code of conduct, and he has the bottom line and conscience of a human being.
However, the blow that destroyed the holy land had completely broken his bottom line, which was completely different from the path he had always wanted to take.
Outside the cave, the bright moonlight was reflected on the sea.
The cold sea breeze blew into the cave from outside. Yuanyi's skin tightened. After taking a deep breath, he walked to the cave entrance.
Right? Wrong?
At this moment, he was in a dilemma. He had felt that his will had quietly changed. Although he had already witnessed all kinds of evil in the world, Yunyi's heart was still clear, at least that's what Tsugikuni Yunyi thought of himself before.
But no matter how Tsugikuni Yoriichi imagined himself, such an act of collective punishment could never be called justice.
"Is there any difference between me and those Celestial Dragons?"
Ji Guoyuan looked at the vast sea and asked himself.
"Is it for revenge for the people of the Kingdom of Alabasta?"
"Or is it just for my own momentary pleasure?"
"Or maybe it's just my revenge to vent my anger?"
The vast ocean was unable to calm Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's mind. There were some things he hadn't figured out, and his thoughts had reached a dead end, with no way out in a short time.
If the price of achieving his dream is to destroy the entire Celestial Dragon race, Ji Guoyuan couldn't tell whether this approach was right or wrong.
He could no longer justify his actions. He could deceive others but not himself.
"Let's go to Shampooland first."
No matter what happens in the holy land, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's established plan will not be changed at will.
After a soft murmur, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's figure turned into a golden stream of light and soared into the sky. Once again landing on the Red Earth Continent, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi quickly swept through the ruins of Malinjoa with his observation Haki.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi was able to sense only a dozen auras, and even among these people, Yoriichi could sense the auras of the Five Elders and Im.
Just as he expected, no matter how powerful his attack was, these immortal cockroaches could always survive such an attack.
Those who died in Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack were mostly CP agents guarding the holy land, as well as ordinary Celestial Dragons and their slaves.
Punish the evildoers and their leaders.
Tsugumi Yuichiro failed to follow his own principles.
Of course, among the group of Celestial Dragons, if you kill 100 people, probably only one is innocent.
But from Tsugikuni Yoriichi's point of view, even if he just killed an innocent person by mistake, it was his mistake.
A tribe was almost wiped out at his hands.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni in mid-air did not continue to attack the Five Elders, Im and others. A golden light flashed quickly in the night sky above the red earth road and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Even Im and others in the ruins who noticed this scene just thought it was a meteor passing by and didn't think much about it.
At this moment, all their attention was focused on the ruins.
"Gurgle, gurgle—"
After Kuniyoshi's figure disappeared, the ground of Malinjoa suddenly turned into flowing black mud. It's not quite accurate to say that it was your home. If you look closely at the ground of Malinjoa, you will find skin texture on the surface.
One by one, the embarrassed-looking Tianlong people slowly "grew" out from the surface of the earth. Nearly a hundred protected Tianlong people returned to the holy land, looking around at the strange yet familiar ruins around them, and everyone's face showed horror.
Imu's ability exceeded Tsugikuni Yoriichi's understanding. Even under such a strong attack, she still protected some Celestial Dragons.
I have to say that this ability is stronger than that of Yuichiro Tsugikuni.
Yoriichi's attack is enough to rival ancient weapons, but Yoriichi Tsugakuni has no way to protect some of the people of the Alabasta Kingdom under the bombardment of ancient weapons. Not to mention protecting those people of the Alabasta Kingdom, even Yoriichi Tsugakuni himself died under the attack of ancient weapons.
If the devil fruit he ate had not been magical enough, he would have died along with the people of Alabasta.
"Lord Im."
The Five Elder Stars who had recovered their bodies came behind Yim one after another. They looked at the Celestial Dragons who survived the ruins, and their faces showed deep melancholy.
It took them such a long time to raise so many Celestial Dragons.
This attack also destroyed the results of their hundreds of years of development. Even until the holy land was destroyed by the enemy, they did not find out who attacked their holy land.
Such a result also made the Five Elders extremely anxious.
They were not sad for the dead celestial dragons, but were worried that Im would be angry and vent his anger on them.
Five Elders
Their long lifespan has made them indifferent to life, and all they care about are things that are closely related to their own interests.
"The devil fruit of Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
"That guy got the devil fruit that belonged to Tsugikoku."
"Investigate! We must find that guy!"
Yim's face was full of gloom. Although she tried her best to control her tone, the Five Elders could sense the strong murderous intent after hearing her words.
"yes!"
Several of the Five Elders knelt on one knee and leaned behind Im, agreeing without any objection.
Although no one knows which direction to start the investigation, it may not be a smart thing to express one's own opinions and guesses at this time.
After giving the order, Im's figure suddenly turned into a pool of mud, merged with the earth, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Several of the Five Elders slowly stood up long after Im left, looked at each other, and saw questioning looks in each other's eyes.
"Let's contact Zhan Guo first!"
Several people looked at each other, and finally it was Saint Satan who broke the silence first.
"What's the point of contacting Marine Headquarters at this time?"
"So, are we going to let the Marine Headquarters see us Celestial Dragons lose our composure?"
"If the news of the destruction of the holy land were to spread, the rule of the World Government would become shaky."
"The image of the Celestial Dragons as supreme beings, deeply engraved in the hearts of the people, will be shaken."
"Seal off the Holy Land and dispatch CP agents from Judicial Island to investigate the attackers!"
Saint Satan, who had been one of the Five Elder Stars for hundreds of years, had developed a kind of path dependence. The moment something happened, he subconsciously wanted to dispatch the navy to do the job.
However, Saint Feigaland Garin, who had just become one of the Five Elder Stars, immediately expressed a different opinion.
The Navy Headquarters was not as considerate as they imagined. Summoning the Warring States would spread what happened in the Holy Land, which would be detrimental to the rule of their Celestial Dragons.
If those unruly people heard that the holy land had been destroyed, it would be hard to imagine what kind of chaos would happen in the world.
They would never allow anyone to dare to shout out words like "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born into a different family?"
"Aren't you planning to mobilize the navy?"
"You've already seen what the CP Holy Land looks like now. I'm afraid the CP on Judicial Island doesn't have the ability to investigate the murderer."
"Such a strong person is not something that ordinary people can have the opportunity to come into contact with."
"Only a strong person at the level of a navy admiral can lead the team to find the murderer."
Even among the Five Elders, there couldn't be no conflicts of interest. Fighting for the right to speak was extremely important to them, and Saint Satan had no intention of giving this new official any face.
The argument between the two also caused the other five elders to fall into silence.
"We already know some news, don't we?"
"The enemy's ability is the same as that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni back then. He must have eaten the same devil fruit. The direction of investigation is centered around the rebels in the New World."
"See if there are any new strong men emerging among the rebels in recent years."
"Anyone with similar abilities would be the murderer."
"If it were just these tasks, CP would be able to handle it."
Feigaland's words also won the nods of several other Five Elders, but after thinking about it carefully, Shepard Ten Peter Saint's expression couldn't help but change.
A bad guess suddenly came to his mind:
"Do you think the person who attacked the holy land was Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!"
"Powerful Conqueror's Haki; a strange ability that cannot be captured by Observation Haki; a devil fruit ability like the Golden Fire Phoenix."
"All of this is too similar to Tsugikuni Yoriichi."
Shepard ten Peter Saint's words made all the Five Elders hold their breath. They all looked towards him with an expression of unusual excitement.
“No, no way.”
Although Marcus Mazsheng said this, his expression betrayed him.
The newly rising man in black robes; Yoriichi Tsugikoku who died in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
To be honest, no matter what the result is, the Five Elders are a little overwhelmed.
But no one expected that the man in black robe was Yuichiro Tsugakuin, and the reason was very simple. The man in black robe did not have the means to kill their Five Elders, but Yuichiro Tsugakuin did!
Thinking of this, Topman Vochuli immediately comforted the others: "Don't scare yourselves. Tsugakuen died in the Kingdom of Alabasta a long time ago. His body is gone."
"If it was him, how could those rebels in the New World have remained silent for so many years?"
"He can't just sit there and watch us regain control of the Navy Headquarters."
"It must be that a powerful person accidentally ate the devil fruit of Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
"The other party's move against the Holy Land must be inextricably linked to the rebels."
"I agree with Jialin Sheng's opinion. Let CP go to the New World to investigate. Not only the rebels in the New Century, but also Long's group should be thoroughly investigated."
"We can't rule out the possibility of their group being a force."
After one of the Five Elders made the decision to favor Garin Sheng, the other Five Elders also made their decisions quickly.
After reaching a consensus, several people began to find ways to contact Judicial Island.
At the same time, in order to prevent the news of the destruction of the holy land from spreading, the Five Elders were personally responsible for the defense of the holy land. They also ordered the Navy Headquarters to be under martial law. All Navy admirals were not allowed to leave the Navy Headquarters without new orders and had to wait for transfer orders.
The inexplicable order also made the senior officials of the Navy Headquarters realize that something was wrong.
On the night when the holy land was attacked, everyone saw the strange sight of night turning into day, and this phenomenon occurred in the sky above Malinjoa!
The sailors all had a premonition that something might have happened in the holy land, but since they had no way to reach the holy land, they could only guess in their hearts.
And just as the Five Elders were investigating the culprit behind the attack on Seungri, Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared on the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The white Noh mask faded away, but Yunyi's body was still shrouded in a black robe.
He planned to wait for Oliva to reunite at the Shampoo Islands, and after that they would head to the ruins of the Alabasta Kingdom.
Tsugumi Kuniyoshi intends to see with his own eyes the remains of the Kingdom of Alabasta after the ancient weapon attack.
At the same time, I also intend to use this opportunity to strengthen my heart.
jingle!
In Xia Qi's extortion bar, the sound of a door being pushed open suddenly came into the room.
The bar, which had not had many customers for a long time, welcomed its first customer today.
Reilly, who was drinking at the bar, and Xia Qi, the proprietress behind the bar, also looked towards the door.
A tall man in a black robe and wearing a huge hood walked into the bar with heavy steps.
The appearance of the man made the two people in the tavern look serious.
It wasn't until the man pushed the door open that the two of them realized someone was approaching their bar.
"Long time no see!"
"Pluto Rayleigh!"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly raised his head and looked at the two people in the tavern, with a gentle smile on his face.
