[Well, now they're getting into the monsters his government really did create. Nico Robin included, isn't it? Smoker knows now he never got the full story even from Aokiji whom he trusted. Then again, in Aokiji's position, would Smoker have done the same? No, he wants to insist that a child left to wander in the world? He'd have done more. But what? It wasn't like Aokiji leaving the marines would have solved it. If Aokiji had, then men like Smoker definitely wouldn't have been around.]
You'd join Dragon's Rebellion, and good luck to you. I'm sure putting each country into a civil war hoping that no matter which side wins, neither would sign up with the World Government is just a great governing policy. Never mind all the dictators, and pirate warlords who'd come into power by taking advantage of it. Never mind all the children left orphaned in the wars, because surely that will cure the government, right?
Tch. I repeat. It doesn't matter what government replaces ours, it will still be corrupt, it will still have problems, because men aren't perfect. Nothing they create will be either.
If I have to choose between my justice and the law, you know I'll break the law every time. I'll shatter it into a thousand pieces if need be. But simply fighting Akainu because his justice is corrupt? At least he has some few stupid standards. How many do you think Blackbeard or Big Mam or Crocodile have? Crocodile wants the power to destroy the whole world so he can hold it in check, Blackbeard very well might destroy the world just on accident, and Big Mam will consume everything she can in the aftermath.
I don't trust one one-hundredth of what the government does, and I distrust the monsters they make even less, but at least they're not the ones lining up children and charging them a fee for living. Ask any of the pirates here in Luceti and they'll tell you themselves most of the pirates in our world are far worse than most of the marines. Both sides want power, and both sides are willing to sink to some unbelievable lows, but at least the marines and government have to pretend to follow their own laws. Pirates don't even do that.
