![]() Pirates have been especially singled out by the Marines as a major threat to order. Anyone connected to criminals, no matter who they are, can be arrested even if they have not done anything and even people related to criminals are to be eliminated. Several interpretations of the idea of Justice exist within the Marines, and its members are free to adhere to whichever suits them the most, although the World Government tends to encourage the Absolute Justice interpretation.Īll individuals noted to have done illegal activities or criminal acts are reported to Marine Headquarters and issued bounties, based on the known information about their threat level - regardless of the circumstances. Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice! The extreme nature of his attack against them horrified the citizens that witnessed it. For example, in the CP9 Mini series, Rob Lucci was seen to have dealt "Excessive Justice" to the Candy Pirates. This has often led people (most of them pirates) to react with disgust at their behavior. ![]() However, a common theme in the series is that corrupt and/or overzealous members of Marines and Cipher Pol often use Justice as vindication for their unethical actions, claiming that every inhumane thing they have done, sometimes atrocities worse than what the criminals would have done, as a necessary evil to preserve peace in the world. Some example of different opinion-based ideas on justice include Kuzan who declared he served a "Lazy Justice", Rob Lucci who claimed to serve a "Dark Justice" ( 闇の正義, Yami no Seigi ?) and Smoker who told Tashigi to create her own "personal justice". Marines may choose to display signs of Justice based on their own interpretations or opinions of the word "Justice". Many forms of justice have been shown numerous times in the series. The classic view of how a criminal should 'receive justice' is thought of as "an eye for an eye", which means if they have done something wrong, they deserve a punishment as great as the crime they committed if a person murders someone, then according to this term, it means they themselves should face the death penalty as a suitable form of justice. Depending on said crimes, the punishment can be one of many possible things, from time in prison to execution. In the series, Justice can be summarized as a criminal being served the punishment that they have earned for their crimes. The thing called "justice" changes its shape.
