"I'm a pirate!"

Shanks's self-muttering was heard by Ji Guoyuan, who was repairing the roof on the roof, and he lowered his head slightly to look at Shanks, and then shouted to Bucky not far away:

"Hey, Bucky, get some nails up."

As he spoke, the two fists that grabbed the nails floated slowly to Ji Guoyuanyi's side.

It has to be said that Bucky's Devil Fruit ability is still quite effective at some point.

As he took the nail from Bucky's hand, he asked Shanks below:

"Shanks, what do you think pirates should do?"

"I listen to the tone of your words, and it seems that you are quite longing for pirates, is it because you are a pirate yourself? For your own ...... Proud of your career? ”

"As a navy, your words make me very uncomfortable."

Ji Guoyuan said as he hammered the nail into the plank.

When some of the working navy below heard this, their eyes looked at Shanks, and the emotions in their eyes were a little complicated.

The navy is naturally hostile to pirates. The vast majority of Kuzan's crew were Navy recruits, young men under the age of thirty.

These navies have not yet undergone the baptism of "reality", and they have the purest vision for the navy.

And for pirates, there is also the purest disgust.

Shanks has always regarded himself as a pirate, and is already disgusted by these navies. However, the navy saw that even a child like Shanks felt proud of being a pirate, and their hearts were mixed.

"Pirates are the freest beings on this sea."

"I'm going to be like Captain Roger, the freest man on this sea!"

When Shanks said the word "freedom", his eyes were full of light. However, without waiting for Ji Guoyuan to speak, Bucky, who was not far away, snorted disdainfully and interrupted:

"Freedom or something......

"Shanks, you're really naïve!"

"Pirates, it's just a treasure hunt!"

"Only treasure is the target that pirates should pursue!"

"This is the romance of manhood!"

Bucky and Shanks seem to be unaware of their current situation, and talk about freedom and treasure hunting in front of everyone in the navy.

Not noticing in the slightest that some of the surrounding navies had changed the way they looked at the two of them.

"Freedom......"

"The word freedom is really convenient!"

"As long as it's for freedom, it doesn't matter what you do."

"Even if it's your freedom, it's in the way of someone else's freedom?"

Ji Guoyuan just glanced back at Shanks, then turned his head, and shook his head while busy with the things at hand.

The sailors below heard what Ji Guoyuan said, nodded their heads one after another, and glared angrily at Shanks. There was even a young navy with a more violent temper who scolded directly at Shanks:

"Damn pirates, aren't you doing things just to get money, to get women? It's nothing more than venting your animalistic desires that you have nowhere to place, so why do you need to put on any banner of freedom for yourself?! ”

"Pirates! Damn it! ”

Hearing the young navy's angry scolding, Shanks was not angry, but nodded seriously, did not deny it, and said directly:

"There are pirates like that, but neither I, Captain Roger, nor my fellow shipmates have ever done anything like this."

"We pirates at least dare to admit it, so what about you?"

"Aren't your navy also hiding under the banner of 'justice' and doing what you want to do?"

"It's just that your beastly desires are vented on the pirates, and there are even some things that the navy does that are even more excessive than the pirates, right?"

"Whether it's the desire to kill or the desire to destroy, can a navy hiding under the banner of justice really be much better than a pirate?"

The young Shanks had already seen all the darkness in this world during the years he had followed Roger through the world. In terms of knowledge, these young navies are far from being comparable to the young Shanks.

In the face of Shanks's rhetorical question, the navy could only angrily yell at Shanks with words like "you are talking nonsense", but Shanks simply sneered at these young and uninformed navies, ignored each other, and raised his head to look at Jiguo Yuanichi who was repairing the roof.

"What do you say? Colonel Jikokuenichi! ”

"If it were you, you would be able to understand what I'm talking about, right?!"

"Or is it that the colonel of the Navy Headquarters is also the same as these uninformed ordinary sailors, stupidly thinking that the Navy is absolutely righteous?!"

In the face of Shanks's question, Ji Guoyuan's movements did not mean to stop, but while repairing the roof of the house, he replied:

"The individual is simple, the organization is complex."

"People who join the navy must have various purposes, power, strength, maintaining peace and tranquility in the world, protecting the people around them, and so on."

"These purposes are not good or bad, but the banner of justice can often restrain some people's personal aspirations."

"Justice is heavy, it means responsibility, it means position, it means restraint."

"Still. Pirates are different. ”

"The freedom you believe in is expanding your indulgences and desires."

"Human beings need to be restrained, with morality, with responsibility, with strict laws. Infinite indulgence of desires, unrestrained human beings, and ghosts are no different. ”

"And the ghosts need to be cleared."

"Our navy is just cleaning up ghosts."

Ji Guoyuan knocked the nail into the wooden board with a click, and after speaking, he turned his head to Shanks and said softly with a smile:

"There can be no pirates in this world, but there can't be no navy."

"The reason why you are still able to stand here and talk to me is precisely because you are not a ghost, that's all."

"Send some planks up."

Ji Guoyuan was still "discussing" with Shanks one second ago, and the next second he directly diverted the topic and ordered. Shanks also skillfully grabbed a wooden board and threw it on, and then pouted, frowning and thinking about how to refute Jiguo Yuanyi's words.

And at this moment, the street not far away suddenly became noisy, and several arrogant shouts came from the street.

"Fuck off! I don't care about you! Get out of the way, get out of the way! ”

As he spoke, a group of navies walked through the street with a pace that they didn't recognize, and walked slowly towards this side, this group of navies had a fierce atmosphere, which was completely different from the temperament of the sailors under Kuzan, and these navy were all disheveled, wearing hats obliquely, and some of them had a very strong smell of alcohol, walking crookedly, looking like a hangover.

On the way to here, a few residents carrying things accidentally got in their way, and they were pulled away by these navy casually, and one of the drunken navy even kicked a passer-by, swearing and saying swear words that needed to be coded.

Shanks noticed the movement over there, and when he saw this scene, he raised his head quite funny, looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, and sneered:

"The restraint of justice is really very powerful!"
