The Ninth Section: The Precious Enlightenment of a Hero's Mind

  Shen Bao didn't really want to conspire, but the elephant's trunk was slightly itchy due to the ant's provocation. Being swept away by a sneeze and leaving no bones behind is also a normal thing.

  This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. It's filled with bloodshed, violence, conspiracy and cunning.

  Perhaps it is such an environment that makes words like family, friendship, love and dreams so beautiful. In the previous life, the Straw Hat Pirates' gang repeatedly brought unparalleled excitement and tears to Sanji.

  But no matter what friendship or dreams, they all need solid strength as a backing. Without strength, how could Luffy save Robin and Nami? Without strength, how can one defeat strong enemies and continue the journey?

  Let strength speak for itself, and use fists to reason. This is an unbreakable truth in any world.

  But different is that some people use power to protect, just like Luffy. Some people use their fists to conquer, just like Shanks.

  The former is often referred to as a hero, while the latter is called a heroic villain.

  Shen Bao is a ruthless hero. He can disregard family ties, deceive his cousin Shen Ping from the beginning, and complete his conquest plan; he can treat soldiers as numbers, launch wars regardless of everything, occupy two empty islands, and capture Ai Ni Lu; he can also kill people in anger just because of his own dissatisfaction, and harm innocent people to shut them up.

  He has changed.

  He can't stay unchanged!

  Since he set out on the Three Red Lines plan, it was already destined that he would not be able to roam freely in the entire pirate world. He took too much and had to pay an equal price!

  He is very self-aware, he knows he's not Luffy. Like Luffy, being so simple-minded, recklessly rushing into things, yet still managing to handle matters in an extremely idealized and perfect way.

  He can't.

  He's changed!

  He never had the sense of superiority and ease that came with crossing over. Only by putting himself in their shoes and becoming one of them did he realize that crossing over was also bitter, with hardships that ordinary people couldn't feel. A life where every day was a struggle to survive, trapped in an unpredictable situation, unaware of the crises lurking around him, it was like being an ant facing the vast sky.

  Time travelers also bear the huge psychological pressure of competing with the whole world while trying to integrate into a new world.

  He who does not plan for himself will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

  In this world that didn't originally belong to him, he found it hard to have a sense of belonging. Therefore, his life philosophy consisted of three words: myself, myself, myself.

  I would rather betray the whole world than let the whole world betray me.

  Then Shen Bao infinitely magnified his evil nature and became a powerful and feared figure.

  Anyone who comes through time travel and uses prior knowledge to secretly calculate is already a conspirator and a hero.

  But the greatest hero is not him!

  Whitebeard, Roger, the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Revolutionary Army, and the Government - which one's hands are not stained with blood? Ordinary people are often deceived by their slogans. However, Shanks knows that no matter how great the justice, dreams, or spirit, it cannot cover up the sin of harming others, nor the crime of slaughter.

  This is a bloody and cruel world. Even if he was moved to tears by Luffy's dreams and the friendship of the Straw Hat crew in his previous life, when he truly became part of this society, he resolutely abandoned so-called ideals and beautiful dreams, instead choosing evil and wickedness at the first opportunity.

  The reason for doing so...

  Just to survive and live better!

  In fact, any change is painful. Shén Bǎo also often asks himself, or buries his head in thought, doubting himself, which is the key to his spiritual cultivation that he cannot break through. Even relying on Aini Road's heart network, borrowing power to climb to the realm of the heart network, it is also mentally exhausted and worn out.

  However, today, after Shen Bao killed the innocent again, the shock brought to him made him understand many knots and untied the long-standing entanglement in his mind.

  "What's good or evil, it's just a superficial decoration. To be trapped in suffering for the sake of being called good or evil is truly laughable. From today on, I'll be my true self! I'll walk my own path, occupy others' paths, and let them cry!"
