Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!
— One Piece · 1999
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Doflamingo treats justice as a prize taken by the powerful. His pleasure at the battle exposes the cynicism beneath the war’s moral slogans.

During the Marineford war, Doflamingo watches the opposing forces and rejects the idea that either side owns an absolute definition of justice. Chapter 556 is adapted in episode 465. The card uses the familiar fan-sub conclusion; the archived official subtitles instead end with “Because the winners claim justice!”
