[Blushes and flusters at the comment. Is that good about the jeans? Okay yes, he will just... go with with these and go get more of the same type.]
Hn... Even if the unthinkable happens and Aokiji doesn't take Fleet Admiral... I wouldn't want open opposition to Akainu. He's wrong, but he's still better than Blackbeard or the Pirate Emperors getting a foothold. [Big eyes narrow down in focus.] Everyone's playing with fire. It used to be that there were four pirate emperors that held each other in check, the marines trying to arrest all the pirates, and shichibukai to help us if it came to open war against one of the emperors. [The obvious distaste in his voice at the word shichibukai is palpable.] Then Crocodile, one of the shichibukai tried to take over the world, Jinbei refused to help against Whitebeard, they employed Blackbeard to take Crocodile's place -- huge mistake -- and Boa Hancock did nothing in the battle except get in my way and help Straw Hat.
Now, one of the pirate emperors is dead, the two strongest marines are being forced to retire, and Blackbeard has Whitebeard's devil fruit, and freed a bunch of pirate prisoners -- not to mention all the ones Straw-Hat freed. [Folds his arms grumpily, trying to think it all over. He's spent the last month and a half doing nothing but thinking things over like this, but it's somehow nicer to say out loud.] When a big figure like that dies... it's a power vacuum. All the pirates will want to be the next Whitebeard, others will try to be Pirate King, the rest will want his islands or to snatch up the pieces, the pirates freed...
[Shakes his head and rests a feminine hand up to his temple.] I despise Akainu and his absolute justice, but he kills civilians and marines in the pursuit of pirates, pirates do it to get fame or money. Fighting Akainu wouldn't save lives. I hate him, but we still have to work together to fight common enemies.
