Chapter 237: Not even as good as a dragon!
He then said in a disdainful tone, "To treat him so cruelly? Hmph, don't you know this guy has the fearsome name of 'Killing Warrior'?"
If you know, then you might as well guess how he acquired such a terrifying title.
Enni paused, his gaze sweeping over the two people present, and then he slowly said, "Let me tell you! This so-called 'killing warrior' is notorious because he and his ruthless captain Kidd have been burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds."
Moreover, this guy gets his title because he enjoys killing.
The number of innocent civilians who died by his blood-stained hands is countless... If we are not ruthless enough in the face of such a vicious person, how can we face those who have suffered such misfortune?
If he is willing to submit to me and be under my control, he may be able to make some achievements through his own abilities to make up for the heinous sins he committed in the past.
Unfortunately, he stubbornly refused my offer.
If that's the case, then we can't let him live!
Because for such ruthless pirates, every extra moment of their lives means that hundreds or thousands of ordinary people will face the threat of death.
Therefore, my compassion is reserved only for kind and innocent ordinary people.
As for these wicked pirates, I've always firmly believed in one principle—those who submit to me prosper, those who oppose me perish. There is absolutely no third possibility!
Rayleigh frowned, but then his brow relaxed.
Then, with a cold expression and icy voice, he said, "The beginning of a new era is inevitably accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice. This is the law of historical development, and it cannot be avoided."
It was as if what was sacrificed was not individual lives, but rather lists written on paper.
Upon hearing this, Aini was slightly taken aback.
He stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him—Rayleigh—in disbelief.
How could such words possibly come from Rayleigh's mouth?
In Ani's memory, this was not Rayleigh's style, yet now he uttered such "shocking" remarks.
Aini frowned, pondering to himself, "Could it be that Rayleigh is no longer the simple swordsman he once was? This sounds more like the kind of talk that revolutionaries would make!"
Thinking about this, Aini couldn't help but shake her head, finding it somewhat absurd.
Immediately afterwards, Aini burst into laughter, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
After laughing, he looked at Rayleigh with a mocking expression and sneered, "The so-called era you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be referring to that one sentence Roger casually uttered before his execution, which triggered the 'Great Pirate Era,' would you? Hahahaha... That's utterly absurd!"
Indeed, Roger's name resounded throughout the world, and he was revered as the "Pirate King." He possessed boundless wealth, illustrious fame, and supreme power.
As the captain of the Roger Pirates, the first and only crew in history to successfully conquer the "Grand Line," and the holder of the legendary treasure "ONE PIECE," his glorious achievements are indeed remarkable.
Even as a member of the Navy, one cannot help but express sincere admiration for Roger's achievements.
However, he only felt respect for Roger's achievements; he was on the opposite side of the pirate forces he represented and the great maritime dynasty he created.
Just as I hold deep respect for the legendary pirates Whitebeard and Shiki.
However, this admiration does not mean that I approve of what they have done.
In my eyes, whether it is the mighty Whitebeard, the unruly Golden Lion, or your renowned Captain Roger, they are all, without exception, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that wreak havoc on the world!
Despite possessing boundless wealth and a illustrious reputation, the so-called "Great Pirate Era" he created plunged the already turbulent world into an even more chaotic and complex situation.
Influenced by him, countless people flocked to the turbulent sea, resolutely embarking on the bloody and murderous path of becoming pirates. Roger bears undeniable responsibility for the numerous heinous crimes committed by these people as they ran rampant at sea.
Upon hearing these remarks, Rayleigh's expression changed drastically.
He could tolerate being humiliated by others, but he absolutely could not tolerate anyone speaking disrespectfully to his beloved captain.
He glared angrily and retorted loudly, "The real culprit who plunged this world into chaos and disorder is not Roger, but those high and mighty nobles who stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
They are like vampires with insatiable greed, relentlessly sucking the blood and flesh of the entire world. They are the root of all evil... The people of the world have long suffered under their oppression and exploitation, and it is only a matter of time before they rise up in rebellion.
Roger's appearance merely added fuel to the fire, bringing forward the inevitable conflict.
"Ha ha ha ha...."
Aini burst into laughter, as if she had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"At the beginning, you said that with the advent of a new era, there will inevitably be sacrifices. But by what right do you decide this era? By what right should innocent people become the victims of the era you create and define?"
"Now you're saying that Roger's appearance was just a convenient way to push things along, bringing forward this inevitable conflict!!!"
"What a joke! This 'just one' has crammed so many people into it."
"In my opinion, Roger is not as good as Rocks. At least Rocks went directly to the Holy Land... to confront the source of evil you mentioned."
If Roger had led your entire pirate crew to fight alongside Rocks at the Holy Land, I would have wholeheartedly given him a thumbs up... but he teamed up with Garp to kill Rocks.
Perhaps he felt that if Rocks ascended to that position, he would be far more wicked than those world-renowned nobles. But... he shouldn't let his personal thoughts dictate the next generation and the future.
The next generation and the future should belong to the next generation themselves, and the future should be created by them.
Instead of using our own ideas to influence the next generation, causing them to bleed, and ultimately, causing the entire world to bleed.
There's one more thing he didn't say: there's more than one way to solve a problem. And Roger used the most foolish one.
In comparison, Dragon is much more responsible and has a much broader perspective than Roger.
This is the difference between a true revolutionary and a pirate.
