Chapter 56 Justify yourself

"Hey, you can't say that. I'm not a pirate."

"If you, who started this war and indirectly killed countless lives, are not a pirate, then there will be no pirates in the New World!"

"Forget it, I won't explain it for now, business is more important."

Lex paused and continued.

"Uncle Zefa, please tell the navy that from now on, starting from 1490, the navy is not allowed to set foot in the New World at will!"

"Humph! A big dream!"

"Whatever you say, I left too hastily in Marijoa just now, and I forgot to tell you in Marinford, so I can only trouble you to tell you. Of course, I can also make a statement afterwards."

"The fate of countless civilians in the new world cannot be decided by your words alone!"

Zephyr's justice will not allow such a thing to happen. Giving away the entire New World to pirates is simply a joke!

"...Speaking of which, there are quite a few civilians who died in the war tonight."

Lex raised his head slightly and looked at the dawn that was about to break.

The morning light is rising and falling in the sky, and the rosy clouds are about to spread across the sea.

"No need to be so hypocritical here."

"Hahaha, I'm not pretending. Let the dead die. I won't regret any of my decisions. In short, the fate of the new world does not depend on who is more just. It only depends on the strength of both sides."

"Tonight, I attacked Marijoa, raided Marinford, and started the war in the New World only because I am strong enough. Uncle Zephyr, go back to Marinford and tell the navy these words. From now on, in the New World, only my voice will be enough."

Lex looked straight into Zefa's eyes without a trace of emotion.

Zefa felt extremely complicated. He could sense that every word Lex said came from the bottom of his heart, and he really thought so.

"...Merely submitting to power is not the path of justice."

After a long while, Zefa finally replied.

Lex chuckled.

"Uh-huh-huh, the position of justice always belongs to power!"

"Go back, Uncle Zefa. I have no hostility towards the Navy. As for the New World, if you think you can defeat me, you can come back at any time."

Lex stopped talking and turned away.

Zefa pondered for a moment, looked at the ruins of the G1 branch and the remaining navy, his eyes gloomy.

".....No hostility towards the Navy? ....Leon Lex."

.............

Mariejoia.

A pile of broken walls and ruins. The holy place that was sacred and glorious yesterday is now just a ruin under the morning light.

Lex is not a saint. He never freed slaves or killed celestial dragons.

His purpose was very clear from the beginning to the end, which was to kill Mus and Zero who had been in Marijoa for many years. It was impossible to kill these two people without personally coming to the holy land and fighting a fierce battle.

But once you arrive in Mary Geoise, the forces you face are not just that simple.

Lex is already quite powerful, whether in terms of his own strength or background, he is incomparably strong.

So being able to do this seems almost impossible.

They attacked the holy land openly and killed the deputy leader of the Knights of God and the supreme commander of CP in public!

"!! Bastard! Does he really have no regard for human feelings at all?!"

Mars did not have the upper hand in the recent battle with Rhine, and the desolate scene of the holy land at this time only added fuel to the fire.

"...He has been very considerate of our feelings. Well, no need to argue anymore. Next, we should quickly rebuild the holy land. This is the most urgent task."

Mercury was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"To be considerate means to contact a group of pirates, attack the Holy Land, and kill Mousse and Zero? ! ! What kind of consideration is this!"

"...If he really doesn't care about the slightest bit of sympathy, how many of us would be able to stand here and listen to you complain? Okay, shut up."

"...snort."

At this time, there were only six people in power, the Five Elders and Feigaland Gegaringer, and the commander-in-chief of the army, Fate, was outside in charge of the situation.

So they are all members of the Celestial Dragon clan. Mercury didn’t hold back and asked directly.

"Saint Gaigaringer, don't you have anything to say about this war?"

At the same time, Mercury's eyes were fixed on the leader of the Knights of God in front of him.

Gegaringer's expression was calm under his red crescent-shaped hair, without any sign of panic.

"You want to say it? You want to say that Lex has become stronger, is that okay?"

"!! Bastard, you made a deal with Lex, didn't you?"

Mars started cursing, saying that he was suppressed by Rhine, but Gegaringer chatted with the Red Count all night!

"Transaction? How can it be called a transaction? It's just mutual appreciation and a deep friendship."

Gai Jialinge said calmly.

"Well, since Moose is dead, there is not much point in pursuing the matter further. The most urgent matter is the news from the navy. Are we really going to give the New World to him?"

Venus changed the subject.

"We can't give up the new world so easily."

Saturn said.

"So how are you going to organize your fleet and attack the New World? Can you win?"

Jupiter said, and then he continued his analysis calmly.

"In my opinion, this war is not all bad."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

asked Mercury, who always believed in Jupiter's wisdom.

"From the results of the war, the New World was completely defeated, the Navy branch was almost wiped out, Marinford was suppressed, and the Holy Land even lost two generals to the enemy on their home turf."

Jupiter first summarized the losses of the war, then continued.

"But, most importantly, the initiator of this war!"

"Isn't that Lex? What is there to discuss?"

Mars was puzzled.

Jupiter smiled.

"This is the crux of the matter. Last night, Rex visited us late at night and asked about his mother. Although we gave in in every way, we refused to give in about the matter of Mous. Then, the war broke out in the New World, and then the pirates landed in Marinford. Rex even led the huge pirate force behind him to attack the Holy Land."

"Isn't it obvious?"

Saturn said.

"Yes, everything is so obvious, but it is also clear. Lex's purpose is clear."

Jupiter continued to explain.

"Revenge for his mother? That's true. We all thought of that."

"I know, but if you think about it more deeply, Lex has the same blood as us. If a pirate did these things, we would definitely fight him to the death. But it was Lex, so there is an explanation."

Jupiter ignored other people's doubts and continued to justify himself.

"For his mother, he was able to launch a war of such magnitude, not hesitating to attack the Holy Land, risking his life, putting himself in danger, and killing the enemy with his own hands. This shows how deeply he is obsessed with his mother, and this obsession is also a kind of identification with us."

"Isn't the biggest conflict between the Holy Land and Lex the death of his mother? Now that it has been resolved, there is no grudge between the Holy Land and Lex anymore."

"Are you saying that we are not targeting Lex but should continue to win him over? How is that possible? Where is the dignity of the Holy Land?!"

Mars said loudly, indignantly.
