Chapter 268: Spiritual Shackles
However, while brushing up his unbeaten streak more and more, Cyrus became more and more confused and confused:
He was invincible in the arena, but he could not save the poor who were forced into slavery because they could not pay their debts, because it was lawful;
He is invincible in the arena, but he can't shut down the casinos that hurt people, because it is legal;
He was invincible in the arena, and defeated those villains again and again, but he did not see a single repentant......
Uh, no, there is still one who forsakes evil and turns to good, and that is Charlotte Armand......
After learning about these circumstances, Mousse also understood why Cyrus, who was very disgusted with his third sister Armand, has now changed his attitude and is even willing to eat the noodles she rolls.
However, this is still far from the two coming together, and what makes Mousse more concerned is Cyrus's tangled psychology......
When Mousse watched the "One Piece" anime before the crossing, he felt that the character of Cyrus lived a very unhappy life, even if he was guilty before, he had already redeemed it with his actions, why did he feel inferior and dare not accept his daughter to live with him?
Now that he understands Cyrus's troubles in the past few years, Mousse feels even more that this person is wrong, "It's not that you can't intervene without strength, and if you are dissatisfied, you can do it!" Why do you feel sorry for yourself and torture yourself? ”
"He is too obedient to the rules, Brother Ming just saw through this, so he never took out King Liku, right?"
Mousse saw the problem but did not rush to persuade him, because there must be a deeper reason behind this obviously abnormal state.
Without even having to analyze it, Mousse guessed that the problem should lie with the murder that affected Cyrus's life, and the subsequent investigation confirmed his judgment:
"I killed the murderer in order to avenge my friend, so it's no problem to become a murderer, killing people is indeed a crime! But it was the people who deserved to die who were killed, so why did the people of this country dislike him and discriminate against him? ”
Mousse finally understood why he had been faintly feeling a little disobedient after seeing the plot of Cyrus:
In a normal society, law and morality are not completely consistent, and many behaviors are indeed illegal and criminal, but the masses will think that the criminal is a hero and a hero, just like Cyrus avenges his friend, and kills innocent nobles who really deserve to die, and it stands to reason that the people should applaud him!
But the result is the opposite, every citizen of Dressrosa is criticizing Cyrus, as if Cyrus killed not the damned nobles, but their own relatives and friends, isn't it sick?
The reason for this is that Mousse believes that it should be the peace of the Liku royal family after the rule of the country for 800 years, and the continuous advocacy of peace in the past 800 years, which has led to the people being brainwashed and overly disgusted with violence, and murder has naturally become a heinous crime, not only in the law, but also in the feelings of the people.
Except for the army, which is legally given that power, anyone who kills someone will be criticized and despised by public opinion, even if the murder is the most vicious.

"It's still sick! It's the same sickness as the abolitionists on Earth, no, it's even worse! At least there is still a little bit of support for the death penalty in countries where the death penalty has been abolished, not like it was before this country......"
Mousse sneered and shook his head repeatedly, but with his wisdom, it was not difficult to understand the motives of the Liku royal family's insistence on brainwashing the people for eight hundred years:
"If you are accustomed to peace, you don't dare to work hard, and if you don't work hard, it is impossible to turn over and become the master, and the country of the Naliku royal family can be passed down for generations......"
So Mousse, who already had a bad impression of King Riku, looked down on this household dog even more......
But unlike the mousse from the earth who has learned dragon slaying, has been beaten by society, and at least knows why his three views are formed, Cyrus has lived in this distorted and oppressive society since he was a child, and people who are good at seeing and hearing are not only easy to influence others, but also more easily influenced by others, and finally become that tangled and awkward appearance?
Originally, this was not a big problem for Cyrus, although that kind of three views would affect his growth and suppress his self-confidence, but in the end, he became an officer and married a princess, and had a lovely daughter, and the family was happy, and they were still living well until Brother Ming usurped the country.
But in this plane, because the Don Quixote family came to the kingdom of Dressrosa ahead of schedule, and took a different route from the original plane, it was like a loach muddying the backwaters of this country that had been silent for eight hundred years......
As we all know, it is difficult for people to learn well, but it is easy to learn bad, and Don Quixote Doflamingo is particularly good at discovering and exploiting the evil of human nature, and in just a few years, the folk customs of the kingdom of Dressrosa have gone from one extreme to another.
And when Cyrus saw such a change, he could neither accept it nor change it, and naturally he was very distressed.
But his confusion and hesitation were not only because of these ......
"In the past, Cyrus agreed that violence was a heinous crime because people in this country said so, but now that the people of this country have changed, and people no longer hate violence, but have begun to worship it fanatically, will he not wonder in his heart, 'Is it wrong for me or wrong for everyone?'"
"After all, extreme pacifism is inherently distorted and unreasonable, and once it loses the suppression of public opinion, it is natural for Cyrus to realize his past mistakes."
"But the problem is that Cyrus has been moving closer to these values for almost a decade, and if he admits that he was right, isn't he like a fool to have struggled to reinvent his mind in the wrong direction for the past ten years?"
"It is difficult for even the most courageous man to make up his mind to deny his life, and Cyrus is no exception......"
After listening to Mousse's analysis, Charlotte Armand was anxious and distressed, not knowing what to do.
But the solution that Mousse came up with is very simple: "Get out of this small island, see the vastness of the world, understand more, have comparisons, and only then can you think independently instead of following the crowd, and then you can naturally find the path you really want to take......"
"It's not easy to persuade him to go abroad." Charlotte Armand frowned rarely, but Mousse's solution was simpler:
First took the opportunity to meet Cyrus to surprise his dementor and put it into the book world, and then asked Amon to take it thousands of miles away, and then Amon flew away, he could only walk back to Dressrosa by himself, more than 10,000 kilometers of land and sea down, it is difficult to think of knowing as much as possible......
