We're on different sides of a war, but he kept arguing we didn't need to fight. I disagreed, but after the war... Things changed.
["Justice" was in the wrong as much as the pirates. Both sides so bloodthirsty. Vengeance versus ruthlessness.]
And here... [Rubs his chin.] Suddenly the excuse of "So long as you're a pirate and I'm a marine," doesn't cut it. [And really it's all Straw-Hat's fault, turning everything upside down. It helps that Fire Fist is dead. If he wasn't... Smoker would still refuse, still fight. But it's why it's something he can't resolve in their world either. Just keep moving forward and never look back. In Luceti though, he's got no choice but to examine it. For his justice.]
