Let's talk about it
Recently, some friends in the book review area have been discussing the question of who is good and who is bad in the Navy and Luffy.
In fact, this can't be discussed in the first place, the essence of human beings is gray, there are no absolute good people and absolute bad people.
said that Doflamingo was a bad guy, but that he was good to his family; Blackbeard is said to be a bad guy, but he goes to attack the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army so that Bakith can do it.
said that Luffy was a good person, but he smashed other people's things at every turn; said that Pheasant was a good person, but he killed the giant lieutenant general and let go of Robin, the "son of the devil"; Said that Akainu was a good man, but he killed a boatload of civilians who had taken refuge.
So, it doesn't make sense to simply divide people into good and bad.
The only difference between people is identity and position.
There is no dispute that Doflamingo Blackbeard is a qualified pirate and Akainu is a qualified navy.
In fact, the yellow ape is also a qualified navy, although he is not as hard as the red dog, but he can do the work assigned to him by his superiors.
Relatively speaking, Pheasant is a little sorry for his status as an admiral.
Now let's focus on Luffy, whether he is a qualified pirate or not.
My opinion: Yes, Luffy is a pure pirate, not an adventurer.
Let's take a look:
Luffy defeated Monka because he wanted to subdue Zoro and didn't want Monka to insult Kirby's dreams, not because Monka was corrupt, and not because he wanted to save the town.
Luffy defeated Bucky because he liked the puppy Ququ and because he respected the hot-blooded village chief, not to uphold justice.
Luffy defeats Klick because he wants to pay off Jep's debt (smashing the roof of someone's house)
Luffy defeated Aaron because Aaron made his navigator cry, not to save Coco Yashi Village - here's a detail, that is, Nami's sister recalled Nami's experience, Sanji and Joseph and Johnny were all listening carefully, Luffy's reaction was: I'm not interested, I don't listen, and then he fell asleep.
Let's go on, Luffy defeated Klockdahl because Klockdahl made Vivi cry
Luffy defeated Anilu, the god of thunder, because he wanted to protect the dream of Uncle Diamond-faced and ring the golden bell.
In order to save Robin, he smashed the island of justice.
In order to save Ace, he broke through the city.
I won't go into any more examples.
It can be seen that Luffy never fights for "justice", "morality" and "fairness", but for the people he identifies with dreams.
Isn't fighting for the people you identify with and pursuing the most absolute freedom exactly the embodiment of a pirate?
Just imagine, if there is a superman in China, who pursues absolute freedom, does not listen to anyone, wants to make trouble, and fights if he wants.
The police arrested his brother, and he smashed the police station.
The traffic police said that you can't run the red light, so he sent the traffic police flying.
He thought it was fun to fly, so he kicked the pilot away and drove the plane himself.
Would everyone still think of him as an adventurer? People will only think that he is a terrorist.
Therefore, Luffy has never been sorry for the identity of [Pirate].
It's just [coincidence] that most of the things Luffy does are [good things].

Next, let's talk about the Navy
The military is one of the violent organs of the state to maintain order.
The era of the sea pirates was a troubled time, so there is no need to analyze it in detail.
What is the difference between troubled times and prosperous times? The difference is a [order]
Was Qin Shi Huang a good man?
He burned books and killed people at will, and "good people" definitely can't be like this.
But Qin Shi Huang's greatest contribution was to unify the Warring States, unify the currency, unify the order of [One China], and so on.
And the main line of this book is that as the protagonist's strength becomes stronger and his power develops, the navy gradually allows the navy to maintain order in this sea.
At this time, whether it is redhead, Kaido, Luffy, or Blackbeard, does it matter if they are good or bad?
As long as they disrupt order, they are the enemies of the navy.
And this so-called order, because Hailan is an earthling who grew up with modern education, the order he wants to maintain is definitely different from the order that the Tianlong people want to maintain.
