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. Supporters of Absolute Justice believe that the eradication of all evil and illegal activities, even if this requires sacrificing innocent lives or engage in immoral acts, since the end justifies the means.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. It is a central tenet of Marine doctrine.
Many Marines follow a strict motto of "Absolute Justice", when it comes to prosecuting those who violate the government's laws. Kuzan on Justice in regard to Sakazuki's actions at OharaĪbsolute Justice ( 絶対的正義, Zettai-Teki Seigi ?) is a philosophy that many Marines follow. He truly believes that justice is whoever is in charge to deem it so and states that whoever emerges victorious in the Marineford War will have the ultimate say in determining what is and is not justice.

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.ĭoflamingo, though a former World Noble and Warlord of the Sea, is not without some opinion in regards to what is and is not justice, but he himself does not seem to care for it. 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 his strike. For example, in the CP9 Mini series, Rob Lucci was seen to have dealt "Excessive Justice" to the Candy Pirates.

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, atrocities worse than what the criminals would have done, as a necessary evil to preserve peace to 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. 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. 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.
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.
