Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 591 You and Me Under the Selfish Tree (34)

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ron spoke slowly.

"Because you have fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that the answer you get after seeing the world clearly must be correct, and you firmly believe it."

"You don't force others to agree with you, nor do you force everyone to think the same way... I admit that this seems to be a reasonable concept, but you are now very contradictory."

"Do you know why?"

Aokiji was silent: "Why?"

"Because you're just saying it nicely!"

Ron smiled.

“Understanding others and letting others understand you may seem like both understanding, but in fact, they are completely unrelated.”

"One is called tolerance, tolerance towards others; the other is called desire, the hope that others will recognize oneself."

"Let me give you a simple example. Admiral Aokiji... The concepts between you and Admiral Akainu can be said to be the most striking contrast in the navy. If Admiral Akainu wants to promote his concept of justice, will you stop him or just stand by and watch?"

Akainu's "absolute justice" is intolerable not only to Aokiji, but also to many hawkish officers, especially those below the rank of general.

If the navy became the navy under Akainu's leadership, and changed from the Warring States style of sacrificing some people to the Akainu style of not tolerating even a grain of sand in the eyes, what would you do?
"I will definitely stop him!"

Aokiji said firmly.

In fact, you did.

Ron thought of the battle of Punk Hazard in the original novel, and then laughed: "Admiral Akainu thought so too!"

"The butcher wants to eat meat. Do you think he should kill the pig or the donkey first?"

Qing Pheasant: "..."

"When someone tries to hinder my justice, I will never let him go."

"This has nothing to do with your beliefs. It's just a kind of self-confidence... Because you believe in mutual understanding, you don't allow others to interfere with your own justice. You use it as a shell to protect your own theory and the justice you uphold."

"It really comes down to you believing it's right."

"The same is true for Admiral Akainu... His experience has taught him that only absolute justice is correct, so he will definitely prevent your ideas from prevailing."

"You are so righteous, you think you are right, what else can you call it if not selfishness? Deceiving yourself?"

Click!

Ron's voice was like a devilish sound from hell, exploding like thunder in Aokiji's mind.

It turns out that all along...the justice I have been upholding has been wrong?
From "passionate justice" to "salted fish justice" (correct), I am tired of the intrigues in the upper class and am used to seeing the lower-class people being treated as numbers.

Outsiders say that he is lazy, but Aokiji himself knows that it is better to say that he is numb.

Insensitive numbness!
I will not be angry because of the persecution of innocent people, nor will I feel happy because of punishing evildoers... Everyone has his own set of theories to convince himself. I just need to do my best, Aokiji said to himself.

But...is that enough?

Ron decided to add fuel to the fire and continued.

"I told you that your kindness will ruin you... It's because I saw the conflict in your heart from Jason's incident."

"Admit it, General Aokiji!"

"You can't be a truly rational bystander. You can't stand the butcher's knife being wielded against innocent children and pregnant women. You can't accept that those high-ranking corrupt officials are arrogant and domineering all day long, and have a lot of food and drink every day, while the people who farm and fish are ragged and freezing to death on the streets."

"You can't bear that children have to die without seeing the light of day. You can't bear that a family has to be broken up because of a joke. But this world is so unfair... You can change your mind, but you can't change the world."

"Then my conscience condemned me and I started to feel sorry for myself."

"Selfish and narrow-minded!"

"how about you?!"

Crunch!

The beer can was crushed, but not a drop of beer spilled out because all the liquid inside was frozen into ice cubes and deformed along with the can.

"Can you do this? What is your justice?!"

Aokiji's eyes turned red, and a cold wind blew, covering the green garden with a layer of white frost.

In response, Ron shook the "icy" beer in his hand and grinned.

"Justice will never be late... I remember I said that a few years ago, right?" In order to reassure Zhan Guo, Ron developed super electric speed and added a label of "eager to do good" to himself.

Justice delayed is not justice delayed, Ron declared.

So far, there are quite a few naval soldiers who believe in this sentence.

This complements the assassination unit's unique right to "execute first and report later", and the two complement each other, forming Ron's factional voice in the headquarters.

"But in fact, justice is always late..."

Aokiji's expression turned cold, holding the ice cube: "Because justice will only be manifested when it is needed. Before that... there is no difference between having it or not."

"Tell me what you really think, Canglong!"

The change of his name from his real name "Ron" to the code name "Cang Long" is enough to show that Aokiji is hostile to Ron.

This is a battle of ideas, the most brutal and cruel one.

"I really can't hide it from you."

Ron shook his head, chewed the cold shrimp, and said slowly: "I don't think I ever said that I think selfishness and narrow-mindedness are derogatory words, right?"

"you……!!"

Aokiji's eyes widened in disbelief, speechless.

What he accused was Aokiji's selfish view of justice. Indeed, he never said that selfishness was a derogatory word... a well-known derogatory word, but not considered a derogatory word. The shock this sentence brought to Aokiji was countless times stronger than before!
"I'm different from you. Justice? Right and wrong? Navy? Pirates?"

"None of my business!"

Electricity flashed through Ron's palm, causing the plate it touched to heat up rapidly, melting the ice on it and warming the shrimp again.

"I only live for myself. The issues you consider are not non-existent in my eyes, but... I don't care at all."

"You haven't forgotten why I joined the Navy, have you?"

"If there wasn't this special institution called the Recruit Camp, I might be a great pirate now. Of course, this is just the great pirate in your eyes... you imposed your ideas on me."

If Mihawk was present at this moment, he might understand why Shanks said that Ron looked at them as if they were a piece of bread or a steak.

Because he is selfish enough!
He is so selfish that all the contradictions, pursuits, disgusts and hatreds in the eyes of the world are meaningless to him. Instead of thinking about that problem, he might as well think about how to become stronger, who to challenge next, and make his life more interesting.

Living towards death not only brings Ron a firm will to live every day well, but also a sublimation of his thought level, making him a truly rational bystander and enjoying life.

No matter how fancy words are used to describe it, it is just selfishness!
It is also a kind of selfishness that cannot be judged.

Because no matter what the praise or criticism is, the opinions and evaluations of outsiders are meaningless to Ron.

"As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy! If you think so much, you might as well just be a scholar instead of a navy officer!"

Ron chuckled and said, "So now, General Aokiji, do you still have any doubts about Jason?"

Because he was selfish enough, Ron had no opinion at all about the navy who would rather sacrifice some people in exchange for peace.

Without opinions, there will be no soil for conflicts to arise.

This is something Aokiji could never do.

Qing Pheasant: "..."

"I understand..."

Putting the ice on the table, Aokiji stood up and said slowly: "Ah, I have to say Ron... I really think you are more suitable to be a marshal than me and Akainu."

Only a sufficiently selfish person would go against his conscience without hesitation and do something that is harmful to others.

In exchange for peace in the eyes of the world.

"Thank you for your kind words!"

Ron also stood up and said with a smile: "General Aokiji, take care!"

Watching Aokiji walk away, Ron leaned against the door frame with a raised mouth, throwing the shrimp into his mouth and chewing.

"Well, let me see... what earth-shattering things can a no-longer lazy Aokiji do?"
