Chapter 168: A Long Talk (Part 2)
"He will always be like that, even when he was besieged by the 'Golden Lion' back then, and all of us were determined to die, he still had a smile on his face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Reilly sighed.
"Did Lord Reilly go to [Rogue Town] in the first place?" asked Raifa suddenly.
"Didn't go, what are you going to do, watching him die?" Reilly shook his head, "he is a person, once he has made a decision, it is irrevocable, no matter who tries to persuade him or try to persuade him, it is useless, even if his decision seems ridiculous to us......"
"And what do you think of what Lord Roger said before he died?" asked Lefa.
"You mean 'One.Piece'?" Reilly said.
"Hmm. ”
In fact, he told me about this before, and he naturally has his reasons for doing this, whether I agree or disagree, I will not stop him. Reilly shook his head.
"Speaking of which, I've always had a question that I want to ask the people of the 'Roger Pirates', but it's a pity that the last time I saw His Excellency Roger, it was not convenient to ask, I wonder if His Excellency Rayleigh is willing to solve my doubts?"
"Let's talk about it first. Reilly made a gesture of please.
"Well, that's right...... When I was a child, my perception of pirates was probably the same, nothing more than villains, beasts, etc., which probably had something to do with the environment in which I grew up. However, from what I've learned from various sources over the years, while the vast majority of pirates aren't good guys, not all of them are heinous villains. ”
"From what I've learned, the 'Roger Pirates' should be one of the few pirates who haven't done anything harmful......"
Reilly nodded, "Yes, I actually agree with the name 'Roger's Adventures', in the beginning, we were just a group of people who didn't want to be bound by the rules and wanted to explore the endless sea, and that's how Roger brought us together. But as a navy, you must know that the World Government does not allow any adventure groups to exist at all, especially those who explore some things that are considered taboo by the World Government, and they will be regarded as great enemies. ”
"However, Rayleigh's predecessors must also know that the vast majority of pirates are not actually the main purpose of going to sea with adventure like the 'Roger Pirates'......" Lei Fa mused.
"I don't deny this, for example, the 'Golden Lion', it's better to say that he is not so much a pirate as a careerist, and Bondiward, and the 'Golden Lion' are also the same kind of people, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, even if they sacrifice countless lives. ”
"'Whitebeard' is special, he is arrogant by nature, but he longs to have a 'home', his pirates are his home, and he is constantly fighting for this family while growing it...... The strongest man is actually just a poor man. ”
"As for the other pirates, although not all of us have dealt with pirates, like you said, most of the pirates we see are not good people. Speaking of this, Reilly laughed to himself, "Of course, I'm not qualified to talk about them, and I'm not a good person myself." ”
"Since Lord Reilly and I agree with each other, I wonder what you think of the 'Age of the Sea Pirates'?" asked Refa without pause.
"Huh?" Hearing Rayfa's question, Reilly looked at him deeply, "Do you want to say that Roger's decision will bring disaster to the world?"
"Isn't it? Even if only half of these newborn pirates are beasts, there are countless ordinary people who have suffered for this, does Lord Reilly think so?"
"Ahh
Reilly wanted to say something, but it turned into a long sigh.
"The reason I ask this is not to attack Lord Roger or Lord Reilly on a moral level...... You may not believe it, but long before His Excellency Roger was executed, I had already guessed the possible situation that might happen later, and I also guessed that His Excellency Roger had other plans, but I didn't choose to tell the Warring States Daddy or the World Government......"
"Oh?" "Even the 'fisherman' and Xia Qi looked at Lefa with some surprise.
"Since you guessed, why don't you report it?" Reilly said in surprise, "Although your military rank is not high, but with your identity, if you choose to tell Sengoku, it shouldn't be difficult to stop Roger's plan......"
"Because, having not only guessed the plans of His Excellency Roger, but also what his ultimate purpose was, I could not convince myself to stop him...... It is true that many people may suffer for this, but many times it is not broken......"
"If Roger hadn't died, he would probably have been friends with you, and although you're a generation younger than him, he's ......" Reilly shook his head, smiling as he recalled Roger.
"In other words, my guess was correct?" asked Lefa.
"Hmm. Reilly nodded, didn't say much, just confirmed Lefa's statement.
"Huh......," Lei Fa exhaled, "Thank you Lord Reilly for solving my doubts, this is also a knot in my heart, to be honest, when I made the choice, I was really tormented in my heart, because no matter how I choose, the impact is great." ”
"But you made the right choice in the end, didn't you? It proves that we're the same kind of people, Roger, me, you. Reilly laughed.
"Perhaps. Lefa was noncommittal.
"But I really didn't expect that you, as the adopted son of the Warring States, would have the same thoughts as us, after all, the Warring States are the most well-behaved people......"
"Different people will have different opinions on the same thing, and it is difficult not to have grievances after personally contacting those brutes who are no longer human, but are high up...... It's just that most people are influenced by fixed thinking and don't think about those big and unorthodox things. ”
"I forgot, but you almost ended up in the 'Deep Sea Prison' for offending the Draconians. Reilly remembered.
"That's just one of the things. "Besides, Lord Reilly said that we are the same kind of people, but it is not entirely true......
"Oh?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't just do it for a beginning and then let it go, the advent of the 'Age of the Sea Pirates' may really give birth to people who can change the future, but who knows how long it will take? five years, ten years, or twenty years?"
"Do you want to ......?"
"Let's stop here. Refa suddenly raised his glass. (To be continued.) )
