After saying the last sentence, Otonashi Owl's pupils slowly closed his eyes.
He's playing dead.
But the rating given to Saitama is sincere.
Unfortunately, it was obviously impossible for him to hide his acting skills from anyone. After a while, he and Lu Qi were handcuffed by Hailoushi and put into the prison cell on the warship.
Lu Qi was brave enough to say nothing even when he was caught.
Otonashi Owl is very powerful. He can just threaten him and he will be tricked by everything, just like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
CP0, the Five Old Stars, and even the officers responsible for the interrogation were told everything about the arrest of Robin and CP9's lurking to seize Pluto's blueprint.
Unexpectedly, the officer who found out such breaking news almost fainted from fright.
He quickly reported everything to Saitama and Tatsuki.
"It seems we have found the right person..."
Dasqi felt heavy.
After all, this time the enemy is no longer pirates, but the supreme power of the world government.
The Navy and the World Government have always been interdependent.
But I never thought that one day we would reach such a point of fighting each other.
"Why are they doing this..."
Dasqi was a little at a loss and didn't even know what to do next. He still said in disbelief: "Obviously Mr. Saitama is powerful and has a sense of justice. He has eliminated many pirates and protected countless people. Such a person …Why must the world government be put to death!?”
yes…
why…
"The navy is pure and righteous. It only needs to eradicate the pirates."
While cleaning the messy room he had just made, Saitama said casually: "But the highest point of world power must prioritize politics. Even if the world government and the navy are doing the same thing, their starting point and purpose are not the same. Maybe it’s the other way around…”
"Being assassinated, being hated... I don't care..."
Saitama paused for a moment, and his tone was firmer than ever before: "But those innocent people in Alabasta who died tragically cannot be dismissed lightly... Politicians at the top of the world's power ignore life and do whatever they want. Even if everyone knows The truth doesn’t dare to rebuke them out loud... This is wrong!”
"Exercising justice is the meaning of a hero's existence!"
At this moment, Saitama's back under the light seemed like a mountain standing tall.
Dasqi stood up unconsciously.
In an age like this, where pirates are rampant and villains are tyrannical, even the righteous navy has to compromise.
But even in such a world, there are still some people who stick to the bottom line of justice!
Never compromise!
As pure as a mirror!
…
"That's so well said..."
Outside the warship
A street somewhere.
A man and a woman stood there, with the scholar and Khalifa at their feet, who had been knocked unconscious.
The man looked ordinary, but his physique was unexpectedly strong.
If the scholar could see his appearance before being attacked, he would definitely recognize that this man is the Bakula who is said to have been sent to CP9 through connections.
"You know, Nico Robin..."
Bakula clasped his hands on his chest, looked at Saitama's warship in front, and said slowly: "The World Government is not the only one where the five old stars can speak. On many matters, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Kong, will have disputes and wrestling with the five old stars, and There are winners and losers for each other... But there is only one thing in which their opinions are surprisingly consistent... "
Robin didn't speak, just stood quietly beside him.
"That was the purge of O'Hara..."
Bakula paused and continued: "As the Secret Treasure of Justice said, many times, the purposes are different, but they can produce the same behavior... The Five Old Stars are afraid that O'Hara's scholars will blank a hundred years of history. It has been made public, and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces is worried that Pluto will be resurrected by some people with evil intentions, causing the world to plunge into desperate panic... "
Robin finally couldn't bear it anymore and gritted his teeth and said: "They are just a group of scholars who are pursuing the truth of history!"
"O'Hara's scholars may not have any subjective intention to resurrect weapons, but the world government cannot bet the safety of the world on that possibility..."
Bakula sighed and shook his head: "Sand Crocodile said that studying Pluto is just for fun. He said that. Should I believe him? The Pirate Empress said that she did not commit robbery. Should I believe her? Former Navy Division 16 Mouse The colonel said that he did not collude with pirates, should I believe him? Kaido said that he does not kill people, should I believe him? Trust is a beautiful human quality, but trust alone is not enough to manage this world. "
"Knowing that a group of scholars are studying a text that records weapons capable of destroying the world, the world government ignores it and treats the lives of countless people as child's play. Is this a dereliction of duty?"
Robin lost his voice: "But even if you do this, can you kill all the people in O'Hara!?"
"Bleeding for a moment is to stop bleeding in the future..."
Bakula laughed at himself: "Of course I know that life is priceless, and we cannot sacrifice a hundred people for the sake of 100 million people, but can we turn a blind eye to the safety of 100 million people because of 100 people? Life Just like the world, there are always times when you have to make a choice. There is no perfect way. Choose the lesser of the two, sacrificing a hundred people, is better than the extinction of mankind. This is the bitter choice in the real world, Robin. "
Robin asked angrily: "What if it is you and your family who need to be sacrificed?"
Bakula looked directly into Robin's eyes, without any hesitation in his tone, and said word by word: "If it is for world peace, and for people to not have to live in the shadow of ancient weapons every day... we will never look back! "
Every word has a ring to it, as if it weighs a thousand pounds!
And the spirit of sacrificing one's life for justice in that tone shocked Robin's heart.
"do not worry… "
Robin's tone finally softened, and he lowered his head and said, "Even if I die, I will not reveal the news about ancient weapons..."
"If your life cannot threaten you, then..."
Bakula suddenly took out a golden phone bug from his pocket and said seriously: "You should know this, Nico Robin. As long as I press the golden phone bug now, it will activate the demon-slaying order against the Straw Hats. To save them, you must tell where the ancient weapons are... Spandam is going to do this, tell me... will you help Spandam find the ancient weapons?"
this moment
The defense in Robin's heart finally collapsed, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
"So you want me to rest assured, how can I rest assured..."
Bakula smiled bitterly and casually crushed the golden phone bug he stole from Spandam: "If even the World Government is not trustworthy, then you, a pirate, have even less credibility... The secret of history is always the past. Do you really believe that the world government will be overturned because of past history, Nico Robin? What the government is worried about is the reappearance of ancient weapons and turning the world into a hell!"
