Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

[CHAT GROUP]

Uchiha Madara: It seems that this is also a tragic world. Group Leader, can you elaborate? Why do you say all this is the world's fault?

Lucas: It's a bit inaccurate to say that it is the fault of the world. To be precise, it should be said that it is the fault of the government. There are not many capital punishments in this world, and the mentally ill were not be held responsible for crimes.

Thomas Wayne: Is it still the case now? I saw the downsides of this in the first place. It's a pity that even with my resources, I couldn't easily change these rules.

Senju Tobirama: The rulers of this world do not impose many death sentences. Is it like the World Government? Do they lock up the most vicious criminals in order to use them for experiments?

Lucas: If only that was the case! The rulers of this world are such bastards—for their own sake, they've let the death penalty disappear. They don't keep those criminals for any useful purpose; they really just don't kill them, even if those criminals commit murder, arson, and all kinds of atrocities.

The DC world is notoriously dark, which is a big reason why they are not as famous as Marvel. The heroes of Marvel, the villains of DC—the superheroes of the DC world are usually very tormented.

Even in their own movies, the main content is watching their nemesis dominate the screen. They often have to wait until the last moment of the movie before they can fight back effectively.

Fisher Tiger: I feel that the ruler of this world is not as good as the World Government of the Pirate World! The World Government has at least built a large underwater prison, using cruel punishments to deter criminals and make people think twice before committing crimes.

Lucas: That's right! Even in the world of pirates, the cost of crime is higher than on Earth in the DC world. Of course, the lack of the death penalty is only one aspect. The inaction of the rulers, the rampant and domineering criminal gangs, and the insanity defense are also important reasons.

Lucas: Many of the supervillains who fight Batman are mentally ill. So after Batman catches them, he throws them in a mental hospital instead of sending them to prison.

Uchiha Shisui: Since these supervillains were never executed anyway, why do you say that Batman saved them?

Lucas: These supervillains can be legitimately and legally killed when they fight against the police. The police may kill them, but the mighty Batman won't. The mighty Batman won't break the law; he can control the degree of force to avoid killing them.

Gengetsu Hōzuki: Then these supervillains should really thank Batman! From the standpoint of supervillains, it's not surprising that Batman is protecting them.

Lucas: More than that! The supervillains in Gotham City are almost becoming fans of Batman, and some supervillains even think that Batman is playing games with them.

Thomas Wayne: Playing games?

Lucas: Yes! They think that Batman has a serious mental illness that can only be relieved by beating criminals. Batman deliberately protects the supervillains because he's afraid that after the supervillains are killed by the police, he'll have nothing to vent his frustrations on.

Thomas Wayne: Are you kidding? This is ridiculous! Only a lunatic would come up with these inferences!

Lucas: Didn't I tell you? Batman's opponents are basically mentally ill psychopaths, so it's not surprising that they come up with any kind of inference.

Senju Tobirama: I think there's some truth to these psychotic inferences, after all Batman's behavior fits that theory. And I think it's absurd that the rulers of this world seem to think criminals are more important than ordinary people.

Lucas: Who said no? Super villains hurt innocents and they turn a blind eye, and when super criminals are to be eliminated, they suddenly respect human rights. No wonder the DC world is so dark! The rulers' hearts are too dark.

Thomas Wayne: Group Leader, you should be able to help eliminate those mentally ill criminals?

Lucas: Of course! I can help you with everything except the Joker, your son's number one enemy.

Thomas Wayne: Is there anything special about that clown?

Lucas: The Joker is a symbol and phenomenon, not specific to a person. If the current Joker is killed, the person who kills him is likely to become the next Joker.

Uchiha Madara: Is that so? Group Leader, if you are so strong, will you also become a Joker?

Lucas: Who knows? The Joker represents a crazy and extreme idea, and no one knows if I will be infected by it. If I am really infected by the Joker's mental virus, then the universe might be doomed.

Thomas Wayne: Since the risk is so great, then don't try it. Strengthen the security around the Joker and ensure that he will not escape to do evil.

Lo Pei: Did the Joker mentioned by Group Leader also receive care similar to yin and yang? The Joker represents a part of the universe. Once it disappears, it will cause an imbalance of yin and yang, and then the world will give birth to a new Joker to replace him.

Lucas: Yes, yes, it's very similar to that.

Uchiha Madara: Group Leader, what are you going to do with this Batman?

Thomas Wayne: Group Leader, this is my son! He offended you because of his ignorance, please be merciful.

Lucas: Don't worry! I'm not the kind of indiscriminate person. Let's see how I make him willing to accept his punishment.

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas looked at Batman, who was controlled by his gravitational magic, and said indifferently: "Batman, do you know your crime?"

Batman was stunned for a moment and replied, "What's my guilt?"

Lucas said blankly: "You indiscriminately identified me as a criminal. Do superheroes judge people by their appearance? If I didn't have the strength to resist, would you have captured me first and then resolved the misunderstanding later?"

Batman: "..."

He had to admit it made sense!

But Bruce felt that he couldn't blame himself. Just looking at Catwoman's appearance, 99% of men would choose to protect Catwoman when facing a confrontation between Lucas and Catwoman.

It was shameful to admit!

Even the so-called ruthless Batman, when facing female villains, was often at a disadvantage. He had a complicated relationship with many female villains... If Lucas hadn't suddenly appeared, Batman would probably have been manipulated by Catwoman's beauty.

Heroes are vulnerable to beauty!

Batman felt that although he was a superhero, he was still a man, and it wasn't a big deal to make such mistakes. However, what Lucas said made sense. He did feel sorry for misjudging Lucas, so he sincerely admitted his mistake.

Lucas sneered: "Don't think that admitting mistakes is the end. You'll have to pay later! Do you think that judging people by their appearance is your only offense? As a vigilante who is not recognized by the people or the government, you dare to ask for verification of identity from those who stand up for justice?"

Lucas looked Batman up and down, and sneered: "What's your problem? Does someone doing good in Gotham City have to report to you, Batman? If someone wants to be a superhero in Gotham City, do they have to get your approval first?"

Snap!

Lucas slapped Batman on the shoulder, pointed at him and said angrily: "What are you doing? It's absurd! Do you think you're the king of the land? You debuted early in Gotham City—has Gotham City become your territory?"

Batman grimaced in pain and retorted angrily: "Even a superhero has the possibility of going dark. I'm just taking precautions."

Lucas said with disdain: "I understand! In order to prevent superheroes from causing huge damage to the world after going dark, you have to take measures against them first, right? This way you can quickly subdue them if they turn?"

Bruce said in shock, "How do you know?"

Lucas disdainfully said: "How do I know? I ask you! What if it was you who went dark? You've investigated the other superheroes so thoroughly—wouldn't that make it easy for you to eliminate them all if you turned?"

Bruce said confidently: "I know other superheroes, and they are the means to prevent me from going dark."

Lucas pondered: "Those superheroes you know, do you have contingency plans for all of them? If so, what's the point of this preventive measure? They wouldn't know what was happening at the moment you turn, and you'd eliminate them first using the targeted plans you've prepared in advance."

Batman was stunned for a while, then said embarrassedly: "I still have my assistants, and they can restrict me too."

Lucas laughed, "Your butler?"

Batman was surprised and said: "That's right! I'm just an ordinary person who uses his intelligence, and defeating enemies requires the cooperation of technology. Most of my technological means require the cooperation of my butler. Without his help, my strength would drop significantly."

Lucas touched his chin and said: "This preventive measure is a bit interesting, but it can only limit your strength. It's impossible to stop you completely—after all, the butler is not your equal in combat."

Lucas raised his palm, lightning surged in his palm, and with a snap, he slapped Batman, using lightning therapy to punish Batman for his recklessness.

He believed that with this lesson, the future Batman would definitely mature a lot. Thinking of this, Lucas felt satisfied and relieved.

Ugh!

Helping others is often so thankless and tiresome!
