[There's a deeply contemplative look on Robin's face as Smoker thinks this over. Two years in the New World changed a lot for him. He knows now Akainu really did become Fleet Admiral -- which Smoker had thought was a slim possibility. Was the world better for it? With men like Blackbeard rising in power and the "Worst Generation" trying to take on the pirate emperors? It was even even worse than Smoker imagined. So when he speaks up in Robin's voice it's pretty quiet.]

I still oppose Akainu's ideas of justice. The corruption runs rampant, but there isn't an alternative system of government that would just cure those things. It's a disease that runs in the heart of all men who'd seek power for their own gains. I don't trust my own brass, but they're still not as bad as the pirates we're facing. And between the two, I'll very grudgingly deal with Akainu and keep trying to convince more men like Tashigi to follow their own sense of justice.
