Chapter 045: Not Justice

Wang Bo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

For him, nothing that happened on the Sabaody Archipelago or at Marine Headquarters could escape his notice.

He had also clearly seen the conversation between Sengoku and Garp.

Sengoku's last remark almost made Wang Bo laugh his head off.

So he couldn't help saying, "Justice of the Marines? Don't make me laugh. Were those Marines on Sabaody Archipelago worthy of the name justice? Are you trying to kill me with laughter, Sengoku?"

Inside the Fleet Admiral's office at Marine Headquarters.

Sengoku suddenly heard a voice in his ear. He couldn't help shaking his head left and right, unleashing his Color of Observation Haki to envelop the entire Marine Headquarters.

"Who is it?"

"No need to look. You won't find me." Wang Bo said. "I'm in Port Royal now."

"What?" Sengoku was deeply shaken.

He knew of Port Royal, because Marine Admiral Kizaru had once been there and suffered a great loss, so the name was etched in his memory.

But if he remembered correctly, Port Royal was not in this world, but in another.

"Who the hell are you?" Sengoku could not imagine how anyone could speak with him across worlds.

Wang Bo said, "Who I am is not important. What matters is what you just said. Justice of the Marines? When you soldiers turn a blind eye to the Celestial Dragons' actions and even aid them in their tyranny, you have already betrayed the word 'justice.' So stop gilding yourselves, Sengoku."

Sengoku was even more shaken. He hadn't expected someone to eavesdrop on his conversation with Garp.

But the Marines' justice could not be slandered.

"We fight pirates and save the world. Every word and deed of the Marines is worthy of justice."

"Heh, saying that, don't you feel ashamed, Sengoku?" Wang Bo sneered.

But Sengoku remained unmoved.

Anyone who could stand in this position would not be swayed by a few words from others.

"Do you have any remorse, Sengoku?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Marines stationed on Sabaody Archipelago turn a blind eye to the lawless zone on the island, turn a blind eye to the atrocities of the Celestial Dragons, and even aid them in their tyranny. Do you have no remorse?"

Sengoku said, "To maintain the stability of the world, there will always be sacrifices."

"Hey hey hey, that's not what a just person should do."

"This is the justice of our Marines." Sengoku said with unwavering conviction.

Wang Bo sighed. "I originally thought the Marines were decent and worth saving, but it seems I was a bit naive. Forget it. You can become history along with the Celestial Dragons."

Sengoku's face turned ashen. He sensed a strong threat in Wang Bo's words.

"Damn it, who are you?"

"Just a hero on a whim." After saying this, Wang Bo cut off contact with Sengoku. When he had watched the story before, he thought the Marines were not bad.

Although there were lazy guys like Kizaru and extremists like Akainu, there were also Marines fighting for justice.

So he had wanted to hear Sengoku's answer. The result was clear: Sengoku had disappointed him.

To maintain world stability, sacrifice some people and turn a blind eye to the Celestial Dragons' atrocities.

Heh, what kind of justice was that?

This was not justice at all.

Wang Bo didn't know what a true hero of justice was, but as someone who had grown up under the red flag for over twenty years, he knew how to write the word 'justice.'

Striking down evil is justice.

There are many definitions of evil, and everyone has a different view, but even someone with warped values knows that the Celestial Dragons are not justice, but outright evil.

So striking down the Celestial Dragons is justice.

But the Marines' justice? Turning a blind eye to the Celestial Dragons' atrocities?

Is that justice?

In modern society, many extremists believe that delayed justice is not justice at all, let alone the Marines' justice that shields evil acts.

They might be maintaining world stability, but there is no denying that they are not justice, nor do they deserve to bear the name of justice.

Therefore, such Marines were not worth Wang Bo's effort to save.

Better to let them be completely crushed by Miro and swept into the dustbin of history.

Wang Bo believed that when these Marines, who paraded under the banner of justice, collapsed, new Marines would surely emerge to uphold true justice.

So Wang Bo did nothing and watched events unfold.

On the other hand, after receiving the order from Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Kizaru had no choice but to act, heading to the Sabaody Archipelago as fast as possible to capture the criminal who killed the Celestial Dragon.

On the way, he kept wondering who would have the audacity to kill a Celestial Dragon.

That was touching the World Government's most sensitive nerve.

Was it Kaido, Whitebeard, or Big Mom? It couldn't be Shanks, could it? That guy probably wouldn't kill a Celestial Dragon.

Could it be some reckless small-time pirate?

That shouldn't be. Celestial Dragons always have CP0 protection; reckless small-time pirates couldn't even touch a hair on a Celestial Dragon.

Could it really be a Yonko-level powerhouse or a Shichibukai-level expert?

But when he scurried to the lawless zone on Sabaody Archipelago, he happened to see a woman effortlessly defeat thousands of Marines.

Vice Admiral Momousagi lay bleeding on the ground, having been completely dominated.

When Kizaru got a clear look at the woman, he couldn't help but shudder and almost turned and ran.

Because he recognized her—it was the woman from Port Royal.

"This is really bad." Kizaru didn't approach Sabaody Archipelago. Instead, he found a pirate ship, landed on it, pulled out a Den Den Mushi, and called Sengoku.

"Hello, this is Sengoku. You should be there by now, Kizaru. Have you caught the murderer of the Celestial Dragon?"

Kizaru said bitterly, "Things might be serious, Fleet Admiral."

Sengoku was taken aback, his voice turning grave. "What do you mean?"

"The one who killed the Celestial Dragon is that monster I encountered at Port Royal. Unfortunately, there's no way I can be a match for that monster. If I get involved, I might die."

When it came to his own life, Kizaru got serious too.

"Maybe you can stall him. Garp is already on his way to Sabaody Archipelago..."

"Impossible." Kizaru cut Sengoku off decisively. "Her speed is far above mine. Not only can I not hold out until Vice Admiral Garp arrives, even if I did, it would just be one more corpse. She's a warrior of the gods!"
