ONE PIECE ADMIRAL AKAINU
Chapter 12 Justice is not afraid of sacrifice

Looking at this very different side of the Zephyr, everyone present looked at each other, especially Sengoku and the others from the same era as Zephyr. They had known Zephyr for decades, and they had never seen Zephyr's angry gaze. Sakazuki is his student, even though he is angry, he won't be like this right?

"We won." But Sakazuki's answer remains these four words.

Zephyr was furious and shouted: "Sakazuki, is it your justice to sacrifice your friend's life? Because of you, how many loyal soldiers have died, and how many families have been destroyed. The cause and effect of all this is you."

Sakazuki raised his head and looked at Zephyr with indistinct eyes, without the slightest expression on his face, and slowly said: "Because you cursed me as a teacher, then as a disciple, then as a disciple, I also have a question I want to ask, Zephyr teacher."

Zephyr said coldly, "What do you want to ask?"

Even though he knew that what Sakazuki was asking next might not be a good question, he still did not intend 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 Master Zephyr do? Choose to sacrifice some and end the war immediately; or let the war continue and more people die. The only difference was that these soldiers did not die. In the hands of your own people, but in the hands of the enemy, if it were you, what would you do? Master Zephyr."

Zephyr's expression suddenly changed, and everyone in the room also became serious. Some of them looked at Zephyr anxiously, as this question seemed simple, but not 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, the broken family will only be More, choose the second, choose the second, and Zephyr was even less qualified to curse Sakazuki with such words.

Zephyr opened his mouth and did not reply for a moment.

Sora, Sengoku, Tsuru and the others also looked at Zephyr anxiously. They were not ordinary soldiers, but senior Marines. Naturally, they need to consider more, so that they know more about the meaning behind the matter.

At the same time, they were all very surprised. Although Sakazuki used to be very shrewd, he was more ruthless and ruthless. There is no such thing as a word frontman who can strangle a man like Zephyr. They all felt that Sakazuki today looked a little different than before.

Seeing that Zephyr had not 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. The Polusalino he disliked was far above Sakazuki, so it was naturally uncomfortable to see him deliberately running away on his own.

"Huh."

However, when Polusalino was interrupted, Zephyr had a clear idea. He snorted and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't choose either. Instead, I will use my greatest strength to help the Marines. Victory, with the power of our Marines, an entire group of flying pirates could definitely be wiped out. It's just a matter of time."

Sakazuki curled his mouth and said, "That makes sense, but why didn't you see your teacher during the previous war?"

Zephyr was hated by Sakazuki, and suddenly shouted furiously: "That's because the old man had to be in charge behind!"

Sakazuki laughed, with a disdainful expression, which made the Zephyr even more furious. Actually this was not a matter for Zephyr, as he had already retreated to the second row, so he usually did not play in front of a battle like this, but now when Sakazuki was laughing like this, it was like this, it made him feel like he was greedy to live and afraid of death.

"Although, according to the method you always say, how long will it take?" ask Sakazuki.

Zephyr said coldly: "Even if time is delayed, it's better than killing your own friend like this. As a friend, do you know what it's 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 reported their determination to die. If they could use their lives in exchange for victory in the war, I think they wouldn't complain in the slightest, not just them, even me. As long as I can sacrifice myself, the war can end, and I will sacrifice myself without hesitation."

"The army is not afraid of death, our seniors must be firm and firm, otherwise, how can we be worthy of them?"

"You said that I killed my comrades. I admit it, but because of this, we quickly won the victory. If you say, his 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 stand up for justice?"

"I don't regret my decision. If I were given another chance to vote, I would still make the same choice."

"I stand here today to oppose, not on my own behalf, but on behalf of tens of thousands of Marine soldiers. We must not only be cruel to the enemy, but also cruel to ourselves. More ruthless than them to be able to suppress and eradicate them."

Sakazuki said so much in one breath, and the faces of everyone present changed, as Sakazuki's words sounded a bit cruel and extreme, but it made a lot of sense. Even Zephyr himself is said to not know how to refute it.

Sora's face also became serious. He's optimistic about Sakazuki. Now that he had listened to these words, his appreciation became even more so. He used to think that Sakazuki was just a hard and disciplined person, but now he saw it. Come on, not only in this aspect, but also in terms of words and mentality deeply touched his heart.

People like Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru, although they also consider Sakazuki to be somewhat paranoid and cruel, they must admit that in this case, Sakazuki's choice is indeed the best, and 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 make sense, this approach is not worth acknowledging. If everyone had the same idea as you, then who would dare to give their backs to their comrades in the future? If this isn't possible, where's Marine's cohesion? If the army loses cohesion and mutual trust, how can it still talk about upholding justice in the world?"

"I really don't agree with such justice!"

Kuzan, who was sitting at the front and the right end, suddenly stood up, looked straight at Sakazuki, and replied with a straight expression.
