Chapter 55: Brother Ming’s Understanding of Justice (Ch 55)

In the cabin of the Sunshine Miles, Rayleigh was drinking leisurely. Suddenly, he slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin.
As soon as Rayleigh appeared on the deck, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Both the navy and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates turned their eyes to him.
When Whitebeard saw Rayleigh, he showed a hint of surprise on his face, then laughed and said, “Hualala~ Rayleigh, I haven’t seen you for decades! I didn’t expect you to show up here.”
Rayleigh smiled and replied, “Yes! Whitebeard, we haven’t seen each other for decades.” As he said that, he picked up the wine jug, jumped onto the Moby Dick, and came to Whitebeard’s side.
The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were no strangers to Rayleigh, and they knew how powerful he was. When they saw Rayleigh appear on the battlefield, they couldn’t help but be shocked. This man, like their father, was a legendary figure.
However, the navy was completely dumbfounded. They never expected that Rayleigh would appear here. Zhan Guo on the execution platform clenched his fists tightly, gnashing his teeth and cursing secretly: “Damn it, why is Rayleigh here? This is troublesome!”
Zhan Guo was very clear about Rayleigh’s strength. If this old guy also participated in the battle, the war would become extremely difficult for the navy.
Garp laughed when he saw Rayleigh appear, “Haha~ Even Rayleigh showed up!”
Sengoku looked at Garp with a gloomy face and said sternly: “Garp, you still can laugh? Do you know the seriousness of the situation?” Sengoku was full of worry and anxiety, because he knew what this war meant to the navy. If they failed, they would face huge pressure and accusations. At this time, Garp seemed so relaxed, which made him very angry.
Karp gave a disdainful smile and replied, “Don’t be so nervous!” His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, as if he had his own unique view on the situation.
In fact, Garp was not as relaxed as he seemed. He knew that if the navy was defeated, the consequences would be disastrous. However, he also understood that if they were too nervous and anxious, it would affect their performance in the battle. Therefore, he chose to stay calm in order to better cope with the next challenge.
Vice Admiral Tsuru said solemnly: “The pirates have more combat power, but we have the geographical advantage. As long as we advance steadily, we will have no problem winning. The only problem is that the losses will be greater.”
Her eyes were firm and calm, and she seemed to be prepared for any situation. As the chief of staff of the navy, she quickly analyzed the current situation and believed that although the pirates had added some powerful combat forces, they still had geographical advantages and could win through steady tactics. Although it might cost a greater price, she believed that the final victory belonged to the navy.
Admiral Kizaru, who was among the crowd of navy soldiers, said with a lewd look on his face: “Has Pluto Rayleigh come here specifically to rescue the captain’s son, Ace the Fire Fist? How scary!”
Kizaru knew that the other party was very powerful, but he did not intend to fight too hard. He just wanted to complete the task assigned by Sengoku – to stop the pirates from rushing into the square. As for other things, let others worry about them.
On the other side, Admiral Aokiji frowned and whispered to himself, “Alala~ Pluto Rayleigh is here too. Hasn’t this old guy retired from the conflict for decades? Why would he show up at this time? It’s really a headache.”
Admiral Akainu sat on one of the three chairs under the execution platform, and whispered to himself with a sharp look: “Whitebeard and Pluto Rayleigh, they are just remnants of the old times. They dared to come out, so let me send them off and let them know that the new era cannot accommodate them.”
In Akainu’s eyes, whether it is Whitebeard or Pluto Rayleigh, their glory has become a thing of the past. The world now belongs to the people of the new era, and they will ruthlessly wipe out the remnants of these old times.
On this battlefield, Gekko Moriah, Doflamingo, Boa Hancock, Hawkeye Mihawk and other strong men all turned their eyes to Pluto Rayleigh on the Moby Dick. They had different expressions, but their eyes showed awe and curiosity for this legendary figure.
Especially Hawkeye Mihawk, he stared at the saber in Rayleigh’s hand, and a strong desire to fight surged in his heart. As the world’s number one swordsman, he longed to compete with a master like Pluto Rayleigh to verify his strength. He knew that there were fewer and fewer opponents who could make him excited, and Pluto Rayleigh in front of him was undoubtedly an extremely attractive challenge.
“Fufufufu~” Doflamingo put his hands in his pockets and laughed leisurely. He looked at the bustling battlefield and said with interest: “This war is so interesting. Justice will prevail? That’s for sure. Only the winner is qualified to talk about justice.” His voice was full of confidence and pride, as if he was sure of victory.
However, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel on the side objected to Doflamingo’s words. He frowned and said seriously: “Don’t be ridiculous, Doflamingo! Only the winner deserves justice? If the pirates win, can they become the representatives of justice?” Flying Squirrel’s words revealed his disdain and disgust for pirates.
Doflamingo just smiled and didn’t respond to the flying squirrel. He knew that the so-called justice was just an excuse for the victor. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can dominate everything. Whether it’s the navy or the pirates, as long as they have enough power, they can become a symbol of justice.
The flying squirrel was a little dissatisfied when he saw that Doflamingo did not respond. He knew that Doflamingo’s views were completely contrary to his own, but he also understood that it was meaningless to argue about these things at this time. After all, everyone has their own positions and values.
The atmosphere on the battlefield is getting more and more tense. The Navy Headquarters, the Whitebeard Pirates and other forces are all waiting for the final battle. At this critical moment, whoever can laugh last will be the real winner. As for Doflamingo, he has already prepared.
Gekko Moriah retracted his gaze from Pluto Rayleigh, turned his head, stared at the Straw Hat Pirates and others, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out, and said in a cold tone: “Straw Hat Luffy, since you have the courage to come to the battlefield of Marine Headquarters Marineford, don’t blame me for being rude. Today, I must make all of you into zombies and make you my puppets forever!”
At this time, Gekko Moriah hated Straw Hat Luffy. Since he was defeated by Kaido 20 years ago, he has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. However, fate always plays tricks on people and made him fail again. This time, he could not let go of the man who made him lose face – Straw Hat Luffy.
He wants to torture Straw Hat Luffy in the most cruel way, only in this way can he relieve his hatred. Boa Hancock on the side has been secretly looking at Durant with very gentle eyes, full of concern and worry. For her, Durant is the man in her heart, and she will never allow anyone to hurt him. If any accident happens in this war, Boa Hancock is willing to protect Durant at all costs, even giving up her title of Shichibukai and fighting the navy to the end.
As for Bartholomew Bear, who had been completely transformed into a robot, he stood there expressionlessly, motionless like a sculpture. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his self-awareness and completely obeyed the orders of the World Government. He had completely turned into a killing machine.
