From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"Okay! Let's do it your way."

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Jieren gave in.

Soon, an [Airship Bug] headed towards the [Sabaody Archipelago] at full speed.

It only takes half an hour to get there.

"I'll ask you to stop Aokiji later." Xia Jieren ordered.

"Yes!" Gate was eager to try.

It can be seen that he also wants to feel the pressure of the general and break through himself.

However, Sanda has stronger overall strength and needs priority care.

time flies.

After Kuzan arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he went straight to Area 2.

"Alala, this is too much!" Seeing the ruins all over the ground, Aokiji frowned.

The last thing he wanted to see was the fighting affecting civilians.

At this time, a naval officer gently reminded: "Admiral Aokiji, this is area 2."

Hearing this, Admiral Aokiji touched his head and smiled with relief.

Area No. 2 is a mixed bag, with almost no good people. No matter how heavy the casualties are, there is no need to worry.

Kuzan and his navy continued to advance and soon arrived at the battlefield.

At this time, Gate and Xia Jieren stood in front of them.

Seeing the people coming, the navy men raised their guns and pointed their weapons at Xia Jieren and Gate.

Xia Jieren smiled and said, "General Aokiji, long time no see!"

"Hmm! I didn't expect that we would meet at war." Kuzan looked indifferent.

"The world is unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen in the future!" Xia Jieren sighed.

Then, he pointed at the navy behind Kuzan and said, "Admiral Aokiji, you can come alone. There is no need to bring so many people!"

"Strong men below the rank of Lieutenant General are nothing but cannon fodder!"

“It’s really not necessary!”

Xia Jieren maintained a decent smile.

When the navy heard Xia Jieren's words, they were immediately furious.

They all stared at Xia Jieren with angry eyes.

If looks could kill, Xia Jieren would have been riddled with wounds by now.

Faced with the anger of the crowd, Xia Jieren remained unmoved.

Xia Jieren spread his hands and said, "Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you whether you want to listen to it or not."

Kuzan looked at the fierce battlefield, hesitated for a moment, and waved to the navy behind him, signaling them to wait outside.

"Admiral Aokiji?!" the naval officer at the side said anxiously.

Kuzan glanced at him and said calmly: "Obey orders!"

"Yes!" All the navy officers looked unwilling.

Xia Jieren smiled and said, "What a wise choice!"

"I don't want to commit more murders!"

"Hehe~" Kuzan sneered, obviously not believing Xia Jieren's nonsense.

In the process of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] dominating the entire [West Sea], countless people died.

Kuzan was also surprised by Xia Jieren's ability to lie with open eyes.

Seeing that Kuzan didn't believe it, Xia Jieren didn't explain further.

Kuzan looked cold and obviously didn't want to communicate more with Xia Jieren.

Xia Jieren didn't care.

He smiled slightly and held out his hand to Kuzan: "Kuzan, do you want to join us [Netherlands Kingdom]?"

"Here, you can realize the justice in your heart!"

"I guess you have discovered the limitations of the navy. Why not break out of the navy's framework?"

Facing Xia Jieren's invitation, Kuzan's face darkened slightly: "Are you insulting me?"

"No! I invite you sincerely." Xia Jieren shook his head and looked at Kuzan.

"Huh..." Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air and flatly refused: "Impossible!"

Being rejected again, Xia Jieren was not surprised: "What a pity!"

"Kuzan, you are the one I think most promising among the navy!"

"As for the others, hehe~"

Seeing Xia Jieren's attitude, Kuzan frowned and asked, "Do you look down on the navy?"

"No! I just look down on today's justice." Xia Jieren stopped and said.

Kuzan's frown deepened.

Xia Jieren smiled and asked, "Kuzan, have you ever been to the grassroots? Not as a naval admiral or a naval officer, but as an ordinary person."

Kuzan was stunned, then shook his head.

"There are good people in the Navy, but that's not enough."

"The Navy can't save the world, nor can it end the Great Age of Pirates."

"At least I don't see this hope."

Xia Jieren continued.

Kuzan was unable to refute, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He also saw no hope of ending the Great Pirate Era.

Seeing Kuzan lost in thought, Xia Jieren felt somewhat proud: "Now, we can delay for a long time without fighting."

Kuzan quickly came to his senses and said firmly: "It may be true as you said, but the navy is still an important force in protecting the sea and protecting the people."

"People?! I didn't expect to hear these two words from the mouth of the navy admiral." Xia Jieren was slightly surprised.

Then, he looked at Kuzan approvingly and praised him: "You are really good, an upright navy."

Kuzan was quite surprised by Xia Jieren's praise.

But he didn't react.

These words couldn't shake him at all.

As they were about to reach the battlefield, Xia Jieren asked another question: "I'm curious. It is said that everyone in your navy has their own justice."

“So what do these justices have in common?”

Kuzan fell into deep thought.

When Xia Jieren saw his expression, he knew that he had not thought about this problem.

"Protecting the people, that shouldn't be the case! I heard that some eagle-brand generals don't care about the lives of civilians at all."

"Maintaining the dignity of the navy doesn't seem right. In front of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, the navy has no dignity at all."

Xia Jieren's words were like a sharp needle that pierced Kuzan's heart.

Kuzan's face looked grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Then what do you think is justice?"

Xia Jieren said bluntly: "Justice does not exist in troubled times."

"If you have to say it, the winner is justice, the strong is justice."

"Heresy!" Kuzan was very disdainful of Xia Jieren's answer.

Xia Jieren was not angry and continued to explain his thoughts: "Justice is all actions that conform to moral standards."

“Actions that are in the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people are just.”

"Justice requires fairness, justice and integrity."

“That’s simply not possible in the current environment.”

"Except for us [the Kingdom of the Netherlands], of course."

Finally, Xia Jieren did not forget to brag about himself.

Kuzan stared at Xia Jieren with contempt in his eyes.

Xia Jieren touched his nose awkwardly and asked again: "How much do you know about our [Netherlands Kingdom]?"

"The [West Sea] is a powerful country... developing rapidly... possessing destructive weapons... and having a large army..." Kuzan recalled the information about the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] in his mind.

Xia Jieren added: "I'm talking about the lives of the people."

Hearing this, Kuzan recalled his previous experience of going to the [Netherlands Kingdom] with Vice Admiral Garp.

Although he was only wandering around Eastport, he was deeply impressed by the living standards of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the smiles on their faces, and the expectations for the future in their eyes.
