If Justly earned Victory is played in a battle with Wareta no Oni, is his force considered 12 now? What happens if I play a card from my hand? Is the force penalty reapplied? Thank you.

If Justly earned Victory is played in a battle with Wareta no Oni, is his force considered 12 now?
Mod reminder: When a card has mutiple actions, please specify which one you're talking about. Thanks!
Assuming we're talking about the second ability, "Negate all current Force bonuses and penalties to cards at this battlefield from actions" (emphasis added), the force penalty Wareta no Oni gives to itself is due to a trait, not an action.
