Justice, at its base, means "to be just, fair". Most commonly, however, the meaning of justice is to punish a criminal that has done something wrong in a suitable manner that fits their crime. Justice, in this sense, can be served to a criminal in many ways from time in prison to execution. The classic view of how a criminal should 'receive justice' is thought of as "an eye for an eye", which means if they have done something wrong, they deserve punishment as great as the crime they committed. If a person murders someone, then according to this term, it means they themselves should face the death penalty as a suitable form of justice. Justice is used in an archetypal pattern often at times (e.g. someone would talk about doing things "In the name of justice" or "ridding the world from evil".[break][break]
Forms of justice differ from Marine to Marine. Marines may choose to display signs of Justice based on their own interpretations or opinions of the word "Justice". A common theme is that corrupt members of Marines and CP9 often use Justice as vindication for their actions, putting every inhumane thing they have done as a necessary evil to preserve peace to the world, this has often led people (most of them pirates) to react with disgust at their behavior.[break][break]
Absolute Justice is the belief that many Marines hold. Most Marines follow a strict motto of "Absolute Justice" when it comes to prosecuting those who violate the government's laws. It is a central tenet of Marine doctrine, to the point where the word "Justice" is emblazoned on the uniform coats of all commissioned officers. All individuals noted to have done illegal activities or criminal acts are reported to Marine HQ and issued bounties, based on the known information about their threat level regardless of the circumstances. Anyone connected to criminals, no matter who they are, can be arrested even if they have not done anything.[break][break]
It is unknown why the World Government supports Absolute Justice as much as it does nor where the ideals centered around it originate from Absolute Justice is best described as being willing to sacrifice anything to defeat what is defined as "evil", though it does ensure that the majority of the world is held under the World Government's dominion effectively giving them absolute control of the world.[break][break]
Pirates have been especially singled out by the Marines as a major threat to order. They are considered criminals regardless of whether they have committed any crimes other than raising the Jolly Roger and any country caught harboring pirates can have further actions taken against them. Civilians, too, are targeted by the prohibition against piracy persons known to have associated with pirates are barred from entering the Marines (there are notable exceptions), and providing aid or comfort to pirates is a serious crime, especially if they are well-known bounty heads.[break][break]
While there are other forms of Justice out there that Marines believe such as "Moral Justice", "Lazy Justice" and "Dark Justice" those are not the standard of Justice taught by the World Government and Marines. The World Government stance is that Absolute Justice is the right Justice. While having other forms of Justice is not considered a crime or even frowned upon within the Marines letting your own personal brand of Justice interfere with Absolute Justice is enough of a crime to get you treated just as a pirate would.
