Different sorts of justice...

Title: Seigi
Topic: justice
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Pairing: Zoro/Smoker, sort of
Disclaimer: Characters and setting? Not mine. Probably just as well. Here, have them back...
Summary: After an event in Alabasta, Zoro ponders.

Excuse: I had a wondering... This is what my research tells me.

~~~

"Seigi," their uniform coats say, bold characters writ large. "Justice," and not only justice, but just justice, righteous rightness. More than the simple "gi" of the justice of bushido, the one that he was always taught to honour.

Why, then, does the Commander find it so hard to understand why it is that Zoro is pulling the logia-user's leaden form through the swirling waters to safety? It is, all too simply, the righteous path to save another life.

If this is the reaction he gets to his action, then just what kind of justice do they teach those Marines, anyway?

I really like this and I appriciate the Zoro POV (I was caught by surprise!) alot!

Glad to hear you liked, thanks! (What about the POV was surprising? *curious*)

AH since it started talking about Smoker I, for some reason, thought that Smoker was just thinking about himself introspectively...so when the last line or so revealed all the thoughts above were Zoros I was surprised and thrilled...that's all!

Ah, I suppose that makes sense. I didn't think Smoker had been trained in bushido, so to me, that first part was pretty clearly Zoro as well [although, y'know, I could be wrong, since I don't remember ever seeing it specified anywhere what Smoker's training was before he became a Marine, exactly]. But, yeah; I seem to have a fondness for the inside of Zoro's head for some reason... :)

Ooh, nice and thought-provoking. I was just thinking about Zoro and Smoker yesterday. Of course, Smoker was using his powers to do naughty things to Zoro's body, but still.
