One Piece: My Spirit

Iska's words "Please tell me your justice" made Charles look at Iska in a daze, because in his memory, there was a navy girl who was about Iska's age asking a similar question.

But the difference is that the girl in Shire's memory has already found the answer, even if it is not the final answer, but she also understands what she insists on in her heart, while the Iska in front of her has her own persistence, but it seems that something has happened that shakes the 'justice' in her heart.

Ciel thought for a moment and didn't immediately answer Iska's question. Instead, he asked Iska if he knew the amount of the reward for Mr.3 and Miss during the Golden Week.

Iska nodded. She had just found out the bounties offered by the two senior agents of the Baroque Works.

Mr. 3, whose full name is Galtino, also known as "Galtino of usury", has a reward of 2300 million Berry.

Miss Golden Week, whose full name is Marianne, is called 'Marianne the Freedom Standard Bearer', and the reward amount is actually higher than that of Mr.3, reaching 2900 million Berry.

"Among them, Marion has already offered a bounty close to 3000 million Berries. Since the bounty can be reached, it also proves that there is a certain degree of harm, but these things are just for reference, not absolute, and the actual situation still needs to be judged by yourself, and this is my judgment.

Just like Iska, you think that some pirates are not all bad guys, nothing is absolute, as you said, not all pirates are all bad guys, but in fact most pirates are indeed bad guys.

Even if you think that pirates who are not bad people still have 'evil', the difference is only the 'degree of evil' between them, and everyone has a scale in their hearts, and also has different world views, values, and outlook on life. When you think his 'good' is greater than his 'evil', you will think he is a good person, not a bad person, and vice versa. "

Shire's theory about 'evil and good' made Iska feel even more confused for a while: "Then you mean that I haven't discovered his 'evil' yet? That's why I think he's not a bad person?"

he?Charles wonders who is "he" in Iska's mouth?Could it be the pirate that Iska said is not a bad guy?Could it be this 'he' that caused Iska to be so confused?
"It's not wrong for you to think this way, but ah, Iska, you have to understand that there is 'evil' in everyone's heart! You have it, and I have it too. This is not a bad thing, because good and evil are interdependent.

Moreover, there will be many factors in this world that will affect your judgment of a person's "good and evil", which will assimilate you, imprison your thoughts, make you lose your judgment of "independent thinking", and even turn you into a spiritual slave. This is a very terrible thing. "

What Charles said was a bit cryptic. In fact, what Iska was confused about was the divergence and rift between her own independent thinking and the "thoughts" given to her by this world. This kind of situation did not only happen to Iska, but Dashiqi also had it, and many people gradually developed a sense of separation.

And what Charles felt from them was a kind of 'awakening', a spiritual awakening, otherwise Charles didn't need to talk so much to them.

"So my justice is... there is no justice."

"There is no justice? What does this mean?" Iska was still thinking about the meaning of what Charles said just now, but after hearing what Charles said suddenly, he looked at Charles incomprehensibly.

"Do you find it difficult to understand? It's actually very simple. I have said the same thing to a person similar to you before, that is, I will never flaunt my uniqueness of justice, because these are just labels on us.

Labels will change with people's behavior, not the other way around, letting one's behavior change with these labels, let alone being restricted by labels, being determined by the buttocks, and it will always stay in the position determined by the buttocks.

Whether I am killing pirates or doing other things, I never feel that I am doing righteous things. This is just a label imposed on me by many wishful thinking.

Whether some of them are grateful to me or hate me deeply, I don't care, I'm just doing what I think I want to do and implementing the values ​​I think. "

Iska fell into deep thought after hearing this, and at the same time finally understood what Shire meant. In fact, what Shire said about the lack of justice was not the real "no justice" on the surface, but the absence of the so-called correct "justice" values ​​imposed by the world and others.

It is the pursuit of the "true justice" that belongs to oneself and seeks the true answer in one's heart. This has nothing to do with others, it is a pursuit that belongs to oneself alone.

"Sure enough, Major Shire, you are very different from my previous officers." Iska said with emotion as if he had figured something out, and at the same time involuntarily looked at his left hand with a burn scar.

"Iska, is it a pirate named Ace who made you think this way? Could it be that the burn on your hand is?" When Charles suddenly mentioned the name 'Ace' suddenly, Iska was stunned, and then he looked at Charles in a panic and explained:

"Ah? Major Shire, how do you know it is... no, Ace and I are just... no, the burn on my hand is not Ace, and I am a navy, and Ace is a pirate. How can we recognize it?"

"Haha. Don't be so nervous. In fact, I met him once when I was in Donghai, right? Although it's not related to him, I know him somewhat."

Seeing Iska's 'panic girl' appearance, Charles knew that his guess was correct. He had said before that Iska had hunted down Ace on the Great Channel for nearly half of the distance before he came to the G2 branch, and it should be Ace who made Iska think this way. Maybe there are other unknown inside stories between the two.

When Iska heard that Ciel met Ace when he was in the East China Sea, he couldn't help being a little curious on his face, and Ciel also briefly told him about his taverns in Big Pepper Town and Rogue Town:
"So Iska, do you know? What you said just now about 'good pirates, bad pirates' reminded me of the little girl Emma, ​​who also said similar things to you."

After listening, Iska couldn't help muttering to himself: "So he's always been like this."
