"Since the 'Black Ship Incident', there has been one case in ten years."

"In the past eleven years, we have been constantly fighting, fighting among ourselves, and bleeding."

"I always ask myself: How long do we have to fight until the day of peace and stability comes?"

"Not long ago, I asked Mr. Tachibana very bluntly: 'After shedding so much blood, I should get something of equal value, right?'"

"That's what Mr. Orange said to me at that time: 'I dare not pursue 'equal value', but I will pursue 'worthwhile' with all my strength."

"I understand what Tachibana-kun means."

"But...but..."

"What kind of results must be achieved, and what content must be left in the history books, to make the blood and tears 'worth it'?"

"The people have suffered enough."

"Continuous fighting will only make their lives more difficult."

"Whenever I think about this, I feel empty inside."

“I can’t even help but question this ‘Changzhou Expedition’.”

"Is this battle really worth causing so many people to suffer?"

Shannan Keisuke finished speaking.

As soon as the front leg finished speaking, the back leg smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Sorry, I seem to have said too many difficult words. Please forget what I just said..."

"I roughly understand it!"

Before Shannan Keisuke could finish his words, Harada Sanosuke roughly interrupted.

"To put it simply, you just don't know whether the fight you are fighting is still meaningful! Then you lose the motivation to fight!"

Suddenly, Shannan Keisuke opened his eyes wide and looked at Harada Sanosuke in disbelief.

After a long while, he stuttered and said:

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's roughly what it means..."

Harada Sanosuke grinned, showing his white teeth.

"Mr. Shannan, I understand your troubles!"

"Your problem is indeed quite difficult."

"A car will spin around in circles if it loses direction, let alone people?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Ever since I was born, I have never considered the 'meaning of fighting' or the 'value of fighting'."

"If you ask me why I fight, my answer would probably be 'fighting for Mr. Tachibana'!"

"As long as we follow Mr. Orange and unite firmly under the banner of Chengzi, the beautiful world will eventually come - I have always believed this!"
