บท 12: Chapter 12 Justice is not afraid of sacrifice
Seeing this completely different side of Zephyr, everyone present looked at each other, especially Sengoku and others from the same era as Zephyr. They have known Zephyr for decades, and they have never seen Zephyr's angry look. Sakazuki is his student, even if he is angry, he won't be like this, right?
"We won." But Sakazuki's answer was still these four words.
Zephyr was furious and shouted: "Sakazuki, is your justice to sacrifice the lives of your companions? Because of you, how many loyal soldiers have died, and how many families are shattered. The cause and effect of all this is you."
Sakazuki raised his head and looked at Zephyr with unclear eyes, without the slightest expression on his face, and slowly said: "Since you condemn me as a teacher, then as a student, I also have a question that I want to ask, Zephyr teacher."
Zephyr said coldly: "What do you want to ask?"
Although he knew that what Sakazuki asked next might not be a good question, he still didn't mean to avoid it. As Sakazuki said, he questioned Sakazuki as a teacher, and Sakazuki was naturally qualified to ask him as a student.
"Faced with the same situation, what would Teacher Zephyr do? Choose to sacrifice a few people and end the war quickly; or let the war continue and more people will die. The only difference is that these soldiers are not dead. In the hands of your own people, but in the hands of the enemy, if it were you, what would you do? Teacher Zephyr."
Zephyr's expression suddenly changed, and everyone else in the room also became serious. Some of them looked at Zephyr worriedly, because this question seemed simple, but it was not that easy to answer.
Choosing the first type is the same as Sakazuki. If you choose the second type, there will be more sacrifices. As Sakazuki said, the only difference is not to die in your own hands, but in that case, a broken family will only More, choose the second one, and Zephyr is even less qualified to condemn Sakazuki with such words.
Zephyr opened his mouth and didn't answer for a moment.
Sora, Sengoku, Tsuru and others are also looking at Zephyr worriedly. They are not ordinary soldiers, but senior Marines. Naturally, they need to consider more, so they know the meaning behind this problem better.
At the same time, they were all very surprised. Although Sakazuki used to be very shrewd, he was more ruthless and ruthless. There was no such thing as a word frontman who could choke people like Zephyr. They all felt that Today's Sakazuki seems a little different from before.
Seeing that Zephyr hadn't answered for a long time, Polusalino, who was sitting on the right side, suddenly smiled and said, "If it were me, I would definitely choose the first one. Hurry up and end the battle. Everyone should rest early, right?"
Zephyr glared at Polusalino fiercely. His unwelcome to Polusalino was far above Sakazuki, so it was naturally uncomfortable to see him deliberately run himself.
"Humph."
However, when Polusalino was interrupted, Zephyr had a clear idea. He snorted and said, "If it were me, I would not choose either. Instead, I would use my greatest strength to help Marine. Victory, with the strength of our Marine, the entire flying pirate group can definitely be wiped out. It's just a matter of time."
Sakazuki curled his mouth and said, "It makes sense, but why didn't you see you teacher during the previous war?"
Zephyr was despised by Sakazuki, and suddenly shouted angrily: "That's because the old man needs to be in charge of the rear!"
"Ha ha!"
Sakazuki laughed, with a contemptuous expression, which made Zephyr even more angry. In fact, this is not Zephyr's problem, because he has already retired to the second line, so he usually doesn't play in front of the battle like this, but now When Sakazuki laughed like this, it made him feel like he was greedy for life and fear of death.
"Even so, according to the method you always said, how long will it take?" Sakazuki asked.
Zephyr said coldly: "Even if time is delayed, it is better than killing your own companion like this. As a companion, do you know what it feels like to die in your own hands?"
Sakazuki replied, "I really don't know how they feel, but do you really know?"
"In my opinion, they have chosen to participate in the war, and they have already reported their determination to die. If they can use their lives in exchange for victory in the war, I think they will not have the slightest complaint, not just them, even me. As long as I can sacrifice myself, the war can end, and I will sacrifice myself without hesitation."
"Soldiers are not afraid of death, our seniors must be resolute and decisive, otherwise how can we be worthy of them?"
"You said that I killed my comrades. I admit that, but because of this, we quickly won the victory. If you say, the sacrifice will only be more. Then there will be more than hundreds, but Thousands of people sacrificed."
"The pirate is right in front of you. If everyone is afraid of sacrifice, who else can defend justice?"
"I don't regret my decision. If I was given another chance to choose, I would still make the same choice."
"I stand here today to oppose, not on my own behalf, but on behalf of the tens of thousands of Marine soldiers. We must not only be cruel to the enemy, but also cruel to ourselves. It is more ruthless than them to be able to suppress them and eradicate them."
Sakazuki said so much in one breath, and the faces of all the people present changed, because Sakazuki's words sounded a bit cruel and extreme, but they were very reasonable. Even Zephyr himself was said to have no idea how to refute it.
Sora's face also became serious. He had been optimistic about Sakazuki. Now after listening to these words, his appreciation has become more. He used to think that Sakazuki was just a harsh and disciplined person, but now he sees it. Come, not only in these aspects, but also in terms of words and mentality very much to his heart.
People like Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru, although they also think that Sakazuki is a bit paranoid and cruel, they have to admit that in this matter, Sakazuki's choice is indeed the best, and it is cruel to sacrifice a small number of people. But at the very least, more human lives have been saved, which is beyond doubt.
"Sakazuki, although your words are reasonable, this approach is not worthy of recognition. If everyone has the same idea as you, then who would dare to give their backs to their peers in the future? If this is not possible, Where will Marine's cohesion be? If an army loses cohesion and mutual trust, how can it still talk about upholding justice in the world?"
"I absolutely disagree with such justice!"
Kuzan, who was sitting at the front and end of the right, stood up suddenly, looked straight at Sakazuki, and retorted with a righteous expression.
