Pirate: My strongest navy scum!

"Varus! Why? Why do you always have to force me to kill people? Why do you have to put forward such conditions? You can obviously put them in the deep sea prison!!"

Upon hearing Varus's request, Luffy shouted angrily.

But Varus's expression remained cold, and his eyes showed no fluctuation at all.

"Because, in this cruel sea, if you want to live, you must constantly make cruel choices. This is called being involuntarily. Luffy, after following me for so long, it seems that you still don't understand anything."

"It's you who are unreasonable!!"

Luffy was so angry that he even rolled up his sleeves.

Then at this moment, Dusky and Guina pulled out their knives, and Brynn and Sugar raised their guns at Luffy.

Gu Yina, who seldom spoke on weekdays, had an equally cold and ruthless expression and voice.

"Luffy, if you dare to move, I will kill you with my own hands."

"You! You guys!!"

Seeing the reactions of several people and the indifference of the entire ship, Luffy gritted his teeth with red eyes.

Seeing his unconvinced look, Varus smiled and waved his hand contemptuously.

"Luffy, since you feel so cruel, I will simply ask you three questions. If you can answer these three questions, then I will release these 40 pirates."

"you say!"

Luffy stared at Varus angrily, with 7 dissatisfied and 8 dissatisfied expressions.

"it is good."

Seeing Luffy's mindless and unhappy look, Varus was not affected at all, he just nodded slightly and said slowly.

"Suppose there are seven pirates about to drown right in front of you, and two children about to drown in the distance.

If only one of the two groups survives, and the group that is not rescued will definitely die, who do you choose to save? "

"Me! I choose to save those two children!!"

After a moment's hesitation, Luffy made his choice easily.

When everyone heard such a simple question, their expressions became a little weird, but they didn't say much.

There was nothing strange about Varus's expression, so he continued to ask after receiving this answer.

"Luffy, are you sure this is your answer?"

"I am sure."

Luffy did it without hesitation or hesitation.

"Okay, then the next step is question 2."

Varus nodded and asked the second question lightly.

"Other conditions remain unchanged. If those seven pirates were your companions, Luffy, how would you choose?"

"me!!"

Luffy was troubled by this issue.

But after thinking for a while, he still had not made a choice in his heart.

However, he thought of another solution, which was to give an answer casually.

"I......"

But just before he was about to speak, Varus spoke like a prophet.

"Luffy, don't think about fooling me with a nonsense answer, because if one day you really go to sea, I will let you face this situation personally. You have to believe that I will do what I say."

"I......"

After hearing these words, Luffy once again fell into deep entanglement.

Everyone who heard this question also thought about their answers.

But soon, everyone made their own choice, which was to choose their companions.

Because everyone is normal and selfish.

But this question made Luffy silent for a long time.

It wasn't until a certain moment, and I don't know how long it took, that Luffy said with an extremely struggling expression.

"I choose my companions."

"very good."

Varus nodded happily at this, but his next words suddenly changed, and he settled an account with an indifferent expression.

"If these 40 pirates are transported from Long Chain Island to the deep-sea prison, just one battleship will be needed.

Depending on the length of the route, the fuel and personnel wages that need to be consumed, not counting any other expenses, the total cost is 107 million beli.

For 100 million Baileys, you can buy 20 high-quality flintlock guns and 500 rounds of ammunition. "

"Varus! I don't understand what you are talking about?"

But listening to Varus saying this, Luffy seemed a little impatient.

"It's very simple. I'm helping you calculate how many innocent civilians will be killed if you save these forty people."

Varus explained indifferently and continued to calculate the life and death situation for Luffy.

"According to the navy's effective statistics, in a conventional naval battle against pirates, the average navy can kill a pirate every 9.1 rounds of bullets.

Therefore, transporting these forty pirates to Impel Down City on this trip is not a suitable deal. "

"Varus! How can you count human lives like this! What do you think of human lives?!"

After hearing what Varus said, Luffy couldn't restrain his anger and burst out again.

But without Varus speaking at this time, Guina had already understood what Varus meant and settled the account for Varus.

"Luffy! You're just an idiot who doesn't understand anything and only wants to go out to sea and play house.

Do you know how many civilians a pirate will kill in his lifetime?

Let me tell you a number. The average number last year was 37 per year, and this number is still growing year by year.

Do you know how many innocent civilians they would kill if these forty more powerful pirates were released?

Do you know that if you let these damn bastards go because of your stupidity, it's equivalent to you killing these people?

If they are transported to Impel Down City, they will need to be provided with food and more guards will be needed. Do you know how much this will cost?

Did you know that this money can kill twice or even more pirates?

Do you understand? You don't understand anything, you are just a spoiled waste, an ignorant idiot. "

"Me! I'm not!!"

After Kuina finished speaking, Luffy lost his confidence when speaking. He stepped back in vain and his face turned red.

But at this moment, Kodaski added fuel to the fire, "You are, and you are still a coward who dare not recognize the reality. You are just a coward who avoids responsibility and does not take responsibility."

"No! I'm not! I'm not that kind of person!!"

Luffy's cheeks were hot at what Dusky said, and his expression even had a hint of ferocious twist.

But at this moment, Varus asked his last question indifferently.

"If you are given a chance to choose, you can save 2000 innocent civilians, or you can save 40 vicious pirates. The one who is not chosen will die immediately. Luffy, tell me your answer now."
