The owner of the ship repair shop was very thoughtful and saw the boy's ideal, but he told Luffy that it was difficult to become the Pirate King: "One Piece is not the kind of Pirate King you think, but the Pirate King in everyone's heart. Only when everyone admits can you become the Pirate King."
.It can be said that the Pirate King is the least free person on the sea."
Luffy wants to become the Pirate King because he thinks the Pirate King is the freest person on the sea. But everyone recognizes the Pirate King because the Pirate King brings hope to everyone, so the Pirate King can only represent hope and cannot have other choices.
Without choice, there is no freedom.
"Don't you understand? You represent yourself and have 10,000 choices, but when you represent 10,000 people, you can only choose one." The boss said: "Just talking about ship repair, you guys definitely don't have the same opinion.
Some people must want to repair it, and some people want to change it. As a captain, you can only choose one of them, the one with more people. When you become the Pirate King, you face more people and more choices. You can only choose one, or even just one.
You can be pragmatic but not pragmatic. Because virtual goals can carry more concrete ideals."
Luffy and others have been educated, and Robin agrees with it. Everyone has ideals, and she also has ideals, which are very specific and interpret the historical text. However, only few people agree with this specific ideal, even among scholars.
Just a small part.
What ideal can be accepted by everyone? This is like asking what food everyone likes to eat?
No matter how delicious the food is, some people will hate it, let alone ideal it.
What kind of food does everyone like? People can’t eat fictional food. They can only imagine that this fictional food can satisfy their taste buds.
Everyone's needs are certainly different, but an imagination can satisfy oneself and different people. In the final analysis, it is not the fictitious food that satisfies oneself, but one's own imagination that satisfies oneself.
But the problem comes again, people's imagination will change again, sometimes they want this, sometimes they want that. So even fictional food has limitations.
But One Piece must bring false hope to get more people to recognize it.
Roger is successful, and he single-handedly brings hope to Cao Mang, so everyone recognizes him. But at the same time, Roger has no other choice. His life does not belong to himself or his family, but only to countless Cao Mang who are looking for hope.
.
Luffy knew that Roger was the Pirate King, but he never thought about why Roger became the Pirate King. Although there were very few witnesses, everyone believed in Roger's story. What is the reason?
Now he finally understands, because the Pirate King is not free and has no choice.
It really subverted cognition. Robin couldn't help but ask: "Are these all taught by Mechanical Island?"
"Yes, you should not focus on making money on the Machine Island, but also improve your knowledge level. Although force is very important these days, force cannot solve all problems. Look at the five old stars, each of them has the power to rival the Four Emperors.
They have strong strength, but force is always their last choice. Because they know very well that force can only solve part of the problem, but not all problems." The boss kindly advised: "It is good to study more."
Luffy was speechless, feeling that the sea was really unfathomable, so he couldn't help but said: "You can also come on my ship." His usual style is to do things he doesn't know how to do. He doesn't learn, but he can find corresponding talents: "Your
He is so knowledgeable and can repair ships, but we are just short of a ship repairman."
"Haha, I'm getting old and I don't have the energy to bother." The boss doesn't want to go to sea.
"That's such a shame." Luffy said sadly.
Luffy realized that becoming the Pirate King requires more than just advancing the ship, but also building a false hope. So instead of increasing the budget, he first repaired the Golden Merry, then added weapons and turbocharging, and also strengthened short-distance jumps.
ability.
More than a boat, Luffy wants to know what the people in the world want?
Set off again.
Golden Melly will face new challenges.
"What's wrong with Luffy?" Chopper noticed that Luffy had been silent. Logically speaking, he should be dancing when he set off again, but now Luffy was very quiet, which was completely different from his character.
"I don't know." Nami didn't understand either.
"He must be thinking about how to become the Pirate King." Robin said.
"Oh." Chopper didn't quite understand either.
However, Sanji and Zoro understand that they both have realistic goals and unite around Luffy's goal. Luffy's goal is to keep moving forward until the end.
Because every time we move forward, we can all get closer to our ideals.
Believing in Luffy means believing in moving forward. But the price is that Luffy can't stop, so he is eager to start and is unwilling to stop and learn to improve.
It cannot be stopped. If it stops, the hope it represents will disappear.
Luffy thought about whether he could keep moving forward. Logically speaking, he did believe that he could keep moving forward before, but after seeing all kinds of things, he felt a crisis.
The powerful enemies in front of you, the challenges behind you, and the ever-changing environment.
You can win countless times, but you cannot lose once.
He thought of the Sand Crocodile. The Sand Crocodile lost to Whitebeard and became despicable.
But Sand Crocodile did not give up, but chose to rob Pluto. This is the same as Luffy learning Haki after his failure, except that Luffy relies on learning, while Sand Crocodile relies on robbing.
As for why Sand Crocodile didn’t learn Haki after failure? Wasn’t it because the setting of Haki didn’t appear at that time?
"So the protagonist is always lucky. He fails because there is something better waiting for him. This is the routine of novels and comics. Sand Crocodile and Moria are not so lucky. After failure, there is no good thing waiting for him.
"Failure is equivalent to clearing everything. Everything has to be started from scratch and needs to be accumulated again." Dulan said that it is also a failure. The protagonist's failure often represents higher and stronger, while the villain's failure represents degradation.
Dinisha also said: "Just like Yue Buqun, if a gentleman cannot revitalize Huashan, then he will be a hypocrite. Just change your mind and think about changes when you are poor. Sand Crocodile and Moria may have been the same as Luffy before they failed. But
Later, he failed and had to find another way. However, Luffy failed, but there was Haki training waiting for him, so that he could continue to move forward without changing his personality."
Protagonists and supporting roles are treated differently.
If it fails, the supporting character will often take a wrong approach and go evil. But the protagonist can find the right way to become stronger.
Luffy was thinking about failure and why the Sand Crocodile was evil. If he could achieve his goal by doing good things, would he still be a bad guy?
Why did Sand Crocodile change his mind? Isn’t it because this road is not easy to walk on? If you can’t walk on the natural fruit, what should you do?
What should I do if I fail? This is the question Luffy is thinking about. If he fails, he will stop moving forward and the team will not be able to maintain it. Do we really have to abandon our companions?
"Luffy, this isn't like you." Chopper said, "I still like you who laugh."
Luffy also knows that his current appearance is not in line with the false hope he represents. He should move forward without considering other things, so that everyone can believe in himself: "It's okay, our goal is the end of the great route. Hahaha, I want to be
Pirate King, just think about how to defeat the obstacles in your way, I want to become stronger."
But the question is how to become stronger? How can you have time to become stronger?
The world is changing rapidly, including the Navy, Peace Defenders, Revolutionary Army, and other rising pirates. Luffy's speed of becoming stronger is obviously not as fast as the changes in the world, whether it is developing fruits, practicing hard, or having incompatible attributes.
It takes time. So it is most convenient to print cards on the spot. Just do a few push-ups and immediately tie the powerful enemy. Isn’t it flattering?
Luffy didn't have a choice, because if he stopped, everyone would question him. Chopper said he liked Luffy who loved to laugh, so Luffy must be under pressure.
Everyone's ideals need to move forward, but one person can't do it. So they need Luffy, and they need to tie their own ideals to the ideals of others, and Luffy is the core.
When ideals conflict, Luffy can act as a buffer.
When problems arise, such as when Usopp's ideals conflict with Luffy's progress, everyone decisively gives up on Usopp because they all need the core concept of progress.
Usopp thought to himself that it was sad that they abandoned actual ships and people for a false purpose and built hope based on the sacrifice of a few people.
But this is reality. Reality cannot come true, and it is inherently sad.
