Chapter 76: Increasing Intimacy with Doflamingo
There are rules and laws. The knowledge of politics from the previous life made it very clear.
Laws do not truly exist.
People obey the law only because the state holds the highest level of violence (the military), using force to suppress the populace, compelling everyone to bow down and abide by the law.
But if an individual possesses the highest level of violence, then he becomes the law.
"Doffy, it's a pleasure drinking with you," Lakeman said sincerely.
Although Doflamingo was a lawless rogue, only thinking about doing bad things and breaking rules for profit, he was much better than those who blindly followed the rules of the World Government.
"I feel the same, Saint Lakeman," Doflamingo nodded genuinely.
The two drank late into the night.
In the banquet hall, the beautiful maids had long been dismissed. Only Lakeman's butler and guard squad, along with Doflamingo's core family members, remained.
The two groups listened to the two drunk men chat, sweating coldly.
"The World Government is nothing but a holder of violence; otherwise, how could they stay on top for eight hundred years?"
