Social freedom, that is, freedom under the law, will change. Moral freedom will remain long-lasting, because simple morality is the practice of protecting the interests of others.
What is virtue, and what is a virtuous person? Virtue is to protect the interests of others. What is Tao? Tao is the practice method. Morality is the practice of protecting the interests of others.
Moral freedom means protecting others. But this requires self-awareness, which most people don’t have.
Therefore, laws are needed, but the limitations of Legalism dictate that social freedom cannot last long and needs to change frequently. This is also the reason why people who insist on moral freedom cannot trust social freedom.
Because social freedom is not perfect, of course moral freedom is not perfect either. After all, everyone's moral level is different.
The contradiction between social freedom and moral freedom is the main contradiction between Cap and Roger. Although they both want to help others and are willing to sacrifice their lives for others, their standards are different and they cannot cooperate for a long time.
However, now Garp is fighting against social freedom. Because he wants to protect his two grandsons, he has to face the end of life. He has worked hard all his life, but now he has to defy the navy.
"Grandpa, let's retreat quickly." Luffy came to save people, not to fight. He felt that he could retreat.
"You take Ace and go first. He has consumed too much energy, so I'm holding them back." Garp knew very well that Ace was in a bad situation, and he would definitely not be able to hold on when facing the wheel battle alone.
"But……"
"The future belongs to you young people, I am already old." Garp knew very well that at this time, the best choice was to use his old life to protect young lives.
"You are indeed the spiritual totem of the new navy." Wang Lufei said: "That's alright, then I'll be more relaxed and pretend to fight with you. When your reinforcements come, you can leave."
"What?" Everyone couldn't understand and didn't know what Wang Lufei meant.
"Let me make it very clear. I'm pretending to fight you so you can conserve your energy."
"We have no reinforcements," Luffy said.
"Why are there no reinforcements? I know that Long has also moved, and it is very secretive. My reports have no information. He must be hiding his whereabouts to save people. It's just that he hasn't appeared yet. After all, he
The son of a naval hero."
Garp did not doubt that the dragon would appear: "I'm really embarrassed to have made so much noise because of me."
"Does it remind you of your youth?" Wang Lufei said with a smile.
Luffy thought that his father would also come? Yes, grandpa was going to be executed. It would be too much for a son not to show up. But now even if there are reinforcements, it is not easy to rush in. They are already surrounded by the navy.
"It is indeed a bit." Garp did think of the past: "It has been a long time since there has been such a large-scale battle. It really feels very good, but I don't like war, and war will involve sacrifices."
"At the same time, there will be a winner in the war." Wang Lufei said: "Even if you just lead a horse and hold a whip in the war, you can still become a noble, so everyone is eager for war."
"But after the war, society will regress."
"So what if we go backwards? As long as we become a master of people, many people are willing to go back to the primitive times. This is the contradiction between the development of the company and the proportion of people in the company, and it cannot be bridged. Is it better to develop the company or to
Personal proportion? The company has developed, but the personal proportion has become smaller, and words no longer work, and many people are unwilling. The company has declined, but the personal proportion has become larger.
Make people willing."
"What if the company goes bankrupt?"
"That's another war. Military nobles train fighting skills every day, isn't it just for war? War is not terrible, losing the war is terrible, and winning is a new beginning." Wang Lufei said that nobles and nobles govern together.
When the world is under heaven, there are always wars, and military nobles are born for war.
"You are indeed not as good as my grandson." Garp really didn't like Wang Lufei.
"The truth is always not so beautiful, so everyone will always look for beautiful sustenance, even if the sustenance is false. But reality is reality, and it will not exist just because you don't see it. Strong game means killing, this is the game
Rules. After all, everyone wants to be a noble and a winner, even if it’s just for decades, it’s okay.”
The strong game is like this, it requires constant fighting, which is why it is said that the barbarians will not last more than a hundred years.
Luffy didn't understand it at all, but what Wang Luffy meant was that there were many people who longed for war. He couldn't understand: "How can anyone like war? You are totally bragging."
Wang Lufei just smiled and said: "What kind of people would the Celestial Dragons be? If you win, you will be the Celestial Dragons, and if you lose, you will be the ordinary people. Success is king and defeat is banditry. Everyone naturally wants to fight. It's like a pirate, knowing that people will die when going to sea, but still
Aren’t there people who enter the sea one after another? Why don’t they cherish their lives? Of course, it’s because if you don’t go to sea and take risks, you can’t change your destiny. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, because this is the rule of the game, and you don’t like it
No matter how much you like it, war is necessary."
"No one likes war." If Luffy doesn't like it, he says that others don't like it either.
"Okay, stop chatting, pretend to fight for a few times, and then I will let you leave." Wang Lufei said.
"I don't need to fake a fight, I have to fight for real." Luffy learned Haki and put it to use. He also raised his black fist.
"Ouch." Wang Lufei screamed and fell to the sky.
"Why did you fall down before I even punched you?"
"Doesn't this show how domineering you are? It's great. I'm very pleased that you learned domineering in such a short time." Wang Lufei said, "Okay, you go find Ace, don't waste time on me.
"
Garp took a deep look at Wang Lufei, and finally couldn't see through this young man. Although he looked the same as his grandson, his perception was completely different.
"Luffy, follow me." Garp also knew that there was no time and Ace was in a critical situation.
Ace's physical strength was consumed a lot by the wheel battle, and even a young man couldn't hold on any longer. The navy kept rushing up to take his life.
Ace's crew also tried hard to resist and rescue the captain, and the two sides started a bloody fierce battle around Ace.
The surrounding land was dyed red. Ace was very heartbroken when he saw the sacrifices of the crew, but now he couldn't even move a finger. He really had no strength and needed to slow down.
This period of time was a fight between the two sides.
"Stop fighting!" It was Kebi, who really couldn't stand it anymore: "This kind of fighting is meaningless at all. Winning won't make the world a better place, so why continue?"
"Because we are the navy!" Although Akainu's legs were injured, he still stood up and walked towards Ace: "Roger's son deserves death."
"Haha, you are the navy, and it is up to you to convict people. The Celestial Dragons buy and sell people and expropriate people without guilt, but those of us who want to live are guilty. Admiral, do you think this is fair?" Ace also fought tenaciously,
Look at Akainu.
"This is order. What order pursues is not fairness, but stability." Akainu said: "All unstable objects are enemies."
"Then don't blame us people for becoming sinners, because this is the result of your order." Ace said: "In the end, there will be more and more sinners, and your order will fall apart."
"I will not let the sinner succeed." Akainu will not live up to the justice he has shouldered.
Ace also won't give up.
At this time, Garp came over.
"Garp, if you can capture them now, you will still be called a naval hero. Or are you going to betray the navy?" Akainu asked immediately when he saw Garp.
Garp was in a complicated mood. After all, his position was indeed embarrassing. He believed in the justice of the Navy, but the facts disappointed him. And his son and grandson had obviously chosen different routes.
Should we protect the justice in our hearts or protect future generations? This is the dilemma faced by Garp. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
