One Piece: My Spirit

Shire and Aokiji had a seemingly relaxed conversation with each other, but in fact, they had already had a secret confrontation before, which led to the current situation. Otherwise, under the situation of absolutely unequal strength, this seemingly relaxed conversation would have appeared at all.

From the original timeline, when Luffy, Robin and others met Aokiji for the first time, they could see that when the strengths were completely unequal, the weaker side had no right to speak at all. If it weren't for Aokiji's character and Garp's affection, it would be difficult for Luffy and others to leave safely from the hands of a general unscathed.

And this is the reality of this world. You must know that among the three navy generals, Aokiji's character is relatively kind and easy to get along with.

Or even Shire is no exception!
Under the disparity in power, everything is so pale, whether it is human beings or animals, they will unconsciously bully the weak, because this is the nature, the nature of survival.

The lion may live in peace with the rabbit, but behind this peaceful coexistence is definitely not the rabbit's ability to live in peace with the lion, but the lion's willingness to live in peace with you, the rabbit. Everything depends on the lion, and the lion is also dominant.

In other words, behind all seemingly peaceful relationships, the essence may be that the 'rabbit' has to compromise and bow to the 'lion'.

It is almost impossible for two lions to live in peace. Even if they exist, it can only be a temporary peace on the surface, which is similar to the principle of "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers".

So at the beginning, when Aokiji met Luffy and others, it was the relationship between a lion and a rabbit, but as time went by and the strength of Luffy and others grew, this relationship was slowly changed.

But even so, the lion of Aokiji is still more powerful.

At this time, the relationship between Aokiji and Shire is also similar. From the very beginning on the Chambord Islands, the relationship between the two is a lion and a rabbit, but fortunately this is a 'docile' lion.

But during the war on Dingshang, the rabbit seemed to be a little different, and it had the possibility of threatening the lion, but in the eyes of the lion, the rabbit was still a rabbit.

And until just now, the lion finally started to face up to the 'rabbit' that could kill a lion!
Yes, from the moment he boarded the boat until just now, although Aokiji appeared to be kind and harmless to humans and animals, in fact, to him, Shire and the others were not people worthy of 'attention' at all, or they were dispensable, and no one cared about it.

This is the reality, the high-ranking strong people are in the mentality of "looking down" on the attitude of the low-ranking ones, and this attitude has not even been noticed by Aokiji himself.

This is not to say that Aokiji is a double-faced and hypocritical person. This has nothing to do with the difference between people or not, but it belongs to the instinctive nature of powerful creatures, just like people will drink water when they are thirsty and eat when they are hungry. They are all instinctive natures.

It's just that whether you can perceive this nature of yourself varies from person to person.

At least in Shire's view, Aokiji is already a very "kind and docile" type among the "strong". If you look at Kaido and Big Mom, they are simply interpreting this nature to the fullest.

To take a closer look, the red dog and the yellow monkey, among which the red dog is the worst, what they do is based on the continuous increase in strength, and thus turns to absolute rule over the inferiors.

So the attitude of Aokiji before, and this is why Shire will not feel angry because of it.

And those who feel angry are mostly the kind of weak people who resent and envy the strength of the other party, but ignore and weaken their own flaws.

We can feel angry when others despise you, but it is not the reason why the other party despises us, it all falls on the other party!

Self-improvement will continue!

The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. This is the truth!
It was in the confrontation just now that Aokiji felt this kind of strength from Shire. From that moment on, Aokiji no longer regarded Shire as the "incompetent Shire" in the Chambord Islands in the past, and no longer the "Shire with equal strength" in the top war, but now the "Shire that must be treated equally"!
At this time, Aokiji really placed Charles in the same position as himself, instead of the previous "looking down" posture.

"That was your domineering just now? Is it domineering?"

Suddenly Aokiji asked Charles casually, and this is exactly the doubt in Aokiji's heart at this time, that invisible power is very similar to domineering, especially domineering color, but it is different from domineering color.

In the brief invisible confrontation just now, Aokiji felt that the frost and cold that spread out from him seemed to be blocked by some force, and later even the body felt an unusual coercion, like stars shining in the night sky, turning into countless streamers and rushing towards him.

It was something similar to but different from the "overlord's color" that Aokiji once felt. It was not the domineering and kingly power like the "overlord's color", but another kind of power that even Aokiji didn't know why.

That is to say, from that moment on, Aokiji looked squarely at Shire in front of him, and it turned out that the other party already had the qualification and strength to be on an equal footing with him!

Although Aokiji's face is lazy and casual, but his heart is shocked by Shire's growth. In the short period of more than half a year after the end of the top war, his strength has improved so much?
And if Aokiji remembers correctly, Shire is only in his early 20s now!
Although the new generation like "Fire Fist" Ace, Mr. Garp's grandson "Straw Hat Boy" and so on are very young, and the so-called "supernova", in the eyes of Aokiji, these people are not even as shocking as Shire just gave him.

This person in front of him could really threaten his life!

"Overlord color?" Charles shook his head as if hearing something funny: "That thing is so rare, and I'm not one of those chosen by heaven, how could I have that kind of thing."

At the same time, Charles stretched out his palm, and then slowly clenched it into a fist, as if an invisible force erupted suddenly, and the face of Aokiji on the opposite side suddenly changed slightly, looking at Charles vigilantly.

After Charles let go of his palm, he looked at Aokiji with a smile on his face: "Look, this is not a domineering look, it's just a little skill I 'borrowed' from those people's 'domineering look', and then imitated it."
