Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

[There are a lot of personal opinions in these two chapters, and Luffy's settings have been greatly changed, but there are only these two chapters, so if you don't like it, you can ignore it, and the rest will be battle scenes.]

...

As One Piece was serialized for longer and longer periods of time and the plot became more and more numerous, some controversies gradually emerged online.

[Is Luffy really a pirate? 】

Some people disagree with this, believing that although Luffy calls himself a pirate, he has a kind heart like Akagi.

Save the town of Shields, protect the village of Xiluobu and the restaurant on the sea, and liberate the twenty villages ruled by Aaron.

There is also the need to save Alabasta, Dressrosa, Wano Country and many other countries.

They are even willing to make enemies with the rulers of the world for the sake of their brothers and friends.

In such troubled times, Luffy is like the most classic heroic protagonist.

But there are also people who think that Luffy is a pirate through and through.

He was unproductive and rebelled against the Navy and the World Government, which indirectly led to the escape of a large number of pirates from Impel Down and the harm of civilians.

Although no evil intention was involved, the impact of the action is indelible.

The most important thing is that Luffy doesn't seem to be that righteous.

His so-called righteous deeds were actually all for his companions. They were just his own selfish desires. Saving civilian countries was just a coincidence.

They judge good and evil based on their own feelings. They will save those they like regardless of the consequences, and will use force against those they don't like.

Such people are precisely the worst pirates because they ignore the rules.

Bai Ye actually agrees with all these arguments.

There is no doubt that Luffy is a hero to some people, but he is also a villain in the eyes of some people.

He will not exaggerate Luffy's goodness, nor will he deliberately whitewash Luffy's evil.

Because even if you look through history books, Bai Ye would find it difficult to find an extremely good person or an extremely evil person.

Justice and evil are never absolute, but relative. The key lies in one's stance.

Bai Ye would not claim to be a hero who saves the world, after all, his hands are stained with blood.

In a sense, Byakuya's evil is much worse than Luffy's.

After all, it was he who pushed for the war between Spark and the World Government, and indirectly led to the Five Emperors Rebellion in the New World.

If we really talk about cause and effect, the number of lives Bai Ye has taken may not even be counted in the tens of thousands.

However, Bai Ye deeply understood one point of these arguments.

That is, since Luffy set out to sea, he has really been doing things completely according to his own preferences.

Such a person is actually very scary because you have no idea how he thinks about things.

Just like the Nami incident in the original work, Luffy actually didn't listen to the villagers' complaints about Nami's tragic experience, or he didn't care at all.

Even after Nami had left the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy still insisted on chasing after her.

He just believed in his heart that Nami was his navigator, so he had to take her away even though Nami was already a member of the Arlong Pirates.

Does this sound familiar?

That’s right, isn’t this the same thing that Golden Lion did to Nami in the movie?

It’s just that other factors are different, which leads to completely different views on these two things.

Luffy became a hero and Golden Lion became a clown.

The same thing goes for the Zoro incident, except that Zoro had no other choice at the time.

Isn’t it interesting?

So if you meet such a person in real life and you are not absolutely sure that you can control the other person, the best way is to stay away from him.

Fortunately, Luffy has not done many bad things along the way based on his own conscience, and even saved many people.

Bai Ye once thought that Luffy would always be like this. After all, a pure heart is never a derogatory term.

But what he didn't expect was that Luffy would actually [sublimate] on the celebration island.

Yes, even Bai Ye, a time traveler, can only think of the word sublimation.

God knows how complicated Bai Ye's mood was after hearing Luffy's reflections.

It feels like "the baby I raised has finally grown up."

Because of listening to the voices of the Nirvana Pirates, Luffy began to question this deformed world, and he began to try to look at the sea from other people's perspectives.

After seeing the meaningless fighting on the island, Luffy began to dislike the so-called "battles at the cost of one's life" and began to doubt whether all battles were meaningful.

Such a transformation is usually the node of the protagonist's sublimation in the story.

The same goes for Luffy.

Although he still hadn't figured it out at this moment, he still understood what Bai Ye said, "Only the strong can determine the lives of others" and "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Thus, Luffy made a decision that violated the [Pirate Code] for the first time.

At this moment, he no longer followed the rules of the Cross Union in a pedantic way, but chose to be the one who made the rules.

Since he dislikes the current battle, then...

"Stop, stop fighting!"

boom! ! !

As Luffy's voice exploded over the Celebration Island, the dark golden domineering aura completely swept across the entire island.

At the same time, everyone on the island felt the shock from their souls at this moment and subconsciously stopped their movements.

Luffy's domineering Haki also completely changed due to the drastic change in his character.

If before people could only feel the momentum and fighting spirit of the strong, then what everyone feels now is the domineering arrogance of the only one who is superior to others.

Such a person is usually called - King!

The sudden change made everyone present unable to react, but the live-broadcasting Den Den Mushi were very diligent and endured the fear in their souls, and all turned their eyes towards the top of the island.

Luffy's figure also appeared on the three large screens at the same time.

He still looked like the familiar Straw Hat Boy, but with that aura, Luffy became someone that no one could look at directly.

Luffy did not use any techniques like the Moon Step. Under his feet was a flying magic weapon refined by Byakuya.

After all, Luffy's appearance is so high-end that it would be too incongruous if he appeared in front of everyone jumping around.

The appearance of the flying magic weapon is not complicated. It is basically a disc with complex flashing patterns. Combined with Luffy's domineering aura, it also has a unique momentum.

Everyone was looking at Luffy on the screen, and Donald beside him.

Donald was completely stunned. He was passionately commentating on the battle in the division when he was suddenly caught in the sky.

But he quickly understood and naturally put the microphone in his hand to Luffy's mouth.

Under the gaze of everyone, Luffy finally spoke:

"So much for the boring game."

"This time, our Straw Hat Pirates won the prize."

Strong, overbearing, and unreasonable.

This thought emerged in everyone's mind.

It's not like they don't know about the Straw Hat Pirates, but they never thought that the Straw Hat Kid would suddenly say something like this.

Such words are more like those said by people like Beast, Big Mom and Blackbeard.

But even so, the people on the island really felt it.

This guy is serious.
