"What he does is none of my business! None of my business!! You better remember that!"
After speaking to Domino, Loya turned to Reiju and said, "You should remember this too."
"The criminals who unleash endless hell have nothing to do with me! I'm just clearing the way!"
Domino was right; the criminals in the infinite hell are the most vicious and wicked.
Take Crocodile as an example.
He caused Alabasta to go without rain for four whole years, resulting in famine and internal strife that caused countless ordinary people to suffer and even lose their lives.
Pirates are pirates after all. Most pirates have the blood of innocent civilians on their hands, let alone the pirates of Infinite Hell. Few of them are innocent.
Loya has only ever stood on the opposite side of the Celestial Dragons, killing Marines but never harming any innocent civilians.
Later, when Loya became the King of Kings, the people he ruled could understand Loya killing the Marines, since the Marines were the tools the Celestial Dragons used to maintain their rule. But they certainly couldn't understand Loya letting the most vicious criminals in Impel Down go free.
While such a dark history may be insignificant under the rule of a powerful authority, Loya felt that it was best to try to erase it if possible.
Under Loya's rule, he would abolish the aristocracy and advocate equality for all, which would inevitably make him resentful of the interest groups involved.
They certainly wouldn't dare openly oppose Loya, but in order to retaliate against him, they would use a magnifying glass to find flaws in Loya's character to prove the illegitimacy of his rule.
Using these stains, they incited the ignorant masses to oppose Loya's ruling order, creating social chaos and even bloodshed.
Loya's act of slapping Domino's back to maintain his "political innocence" is utterly hypocritical and hypocritical!
But the ultimate goal is to avoid harming the general public.
If he were a tyrant, he would naturally not care about such innocence, nor would he care about the lives of ordinary people.
The so-called hypocrisy is not because Loya cares about his reputation, but because Loya wants to protect innocent people.
In the world where Loya will rule from now on, textbooks can only describe it like this:
"In order to rescue the 100,000 slaves cruelly enslaved by the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, Loya made a deal with Shiki, agreeing to help Shiki infiltrate Impel Down."
Unexpectedly, the Golden Lion, in its attempt to restore its former glory, went so far as to unleash the most heinous criminals from the infinite hell.
After rescuing 100,000 slaves, Loya realized he had unknowingly aided the Golden Lion in his evil deeds. To atone for his sins, he executed or re-arrested the Golden Lion and other criminals!
It cannot be written like this:
"Lorra, knowing the situation, helped the Golden Lion release the criminals from Impel Down."

Although the latter is the truth, Loya cannot admit it.
Loya pretended to be unaware of this matter and also wanted those close to him to believe that they were unaware as well.
Hypocritical? Yes, hypocritical! Utterly hypocritical!!
But this is necessary hypocrisy!
Civilization itself is built on hypocritical morality.
The people need a hypocritical monarch to maintain social peace and stability, not people who use the monarch's flaws to incite public sentiment and create social chaos.
Reiju looked at Loya, somewhat puzzled. When Loya was bitten by Domino, she didn't want to slap her, but instead slapped Domino for this "trivial matter," and slapped her so hard.
She is young and doesn't have a deep understanding of politics.
"Honey, I thought you and Golden Lion had planned all this together. Turns out you didn't know anything about it?"
Reiju said with some skepticism.
"Okay, remember that! I had no idea!"
The town of Loya was solemn.
"Oh... I've got it."
Reiju sensed the seriousness in Loya's tone and nodded resolutely.
"Domino, did you remember that?"
Loya then looked at Domino.
Domino glanced at Loya with evasive eyes, gritted her blood-stained teeth, and said hatefully, "Even if you didn't know, you're still guilty!"
Loya smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, although I was unaware of the situation, I am still guilty!"
But in my heart I thought: Ignorance is no excuse!
"I'm sorry I hit you. Let me heal you. I'm a user of the Healing Fruit."
Loya gently rubbed the five red marks he had made on Domino's pretty face, slowly healing them with his ability.
Then he cupped her face, kissed her forcefully, and swallowed all the blood from her mouth.
Despite Loya's gentle treatment, Domino still wore a hateful expression, coldly staring at Loya without uttering a word, silently expressing his anger.
But in reality, her feelings were somewhat complicated.
Loya was actually willing to eat the blood in her mouth as a way of subtly expressing his apology.
Domino began to understand why Reiju was so infatuated with this man, given his domineering (forceful kiss) yet tender personality.
Women like men who are domineering because it represents their strength and gives them a sense of conquest and security.
But if a woman is only domineering, she will only suffer more.
Women like gentle men because they are tender, considerate, and attentive, treating women with love and care, making them feel sweet.
But a man who is only gentle and affectionate will always lack some masculinity and is prone to spoiling women.
A combination of domineering and tenderness is what truly makes a woman fall for him.
Domino didn't understand these principles, but she vaguely felt that Loya's personality made her neither dare to resist nor hate him.
Her expression was cold and angry, but that was only because Domino was somewhat at a loss and didn't know what expression to wear, so she simply continued with her previous expression.
She can't just greet Loya with a smile immediately just because he's being gentle and caring towards her, can she?
She shouldn't be so timid and submissive just because Loya slapped her.
Loya didn't try to guess Domino's thoughts. Whether he was rough or gentle, he just did what he felt he should do.
"Bruno, let's go into Becky's castle! Now that we've cleared the way for the Golden Lion, there's nothing more for us to do!"
Loya, holding the two women's hands, called out "Bruno" and entered Becky's castle.
The golden lion in mid-air was secretly pleased to see Loya's behavior.
The credit for saving these prisoners belongs entirely to him!
These powerful criminals only need to be grateful to him!
After Loya entered Becky's castle, "Becky himself" suddenly appeared and greeted him with great enthusiasm.
Becky led the four of them into a special, luxurious private room.
He then brought out his treasured wines and had several maids prepare food and desserts to entertain Loya and his companions.
Loya looked at Becky in surprise: "Hey, Becky, you secretly hid this room in your castle, along with maids, fine wine, and delicious food, and then used all of this to 'hospitally entertain' me..."
"Does the Golden Lion know about these things?"

"Boss Shiki... naturally wouldn't know about these things~"
"This secret room in my castle is, of course, only open to the most distinguished guests in my eyes!"
Becky smiled meaningfully.
"Hey, Becky, I don't quite understand what you mean~"
"We all work for Boss Shiki, right?"
Loya pretended to be confused.
Upon hearing this, Becky gave Loya a deep look and remained silent for a moment.
