We've seen Mihawk, Doflamingo, Crocodile and Moria do just this. Croc and moria only did it for there own purposes (pretending to be a hero/building a zombie army) Mihawk im willing to bet would be going around anyway and the only reason doflamingo would be a deterrent is becuase he kills so many of them taht he recruits | ||

The WG knows they are still scumbag pirates. But they officially allow them to do their thing (with some obvious restraints), as long as they go around demolishing other Pirates for them. And even at Marineford, the Shichibukai helped out there. Kuma, Doflamingo, and Moria all took care of Little Oars Jr., Kuma went around demolishing Newkama and other pirates, Doflamingo even fought Jozu at one point. Mihawk fought Whitebeard and his allies, was shown clashing with people like Jozu and Vista, not to mention going after Luffy. Moria was also helping, although Jinbe sorta took a shit on him. So yeah, the WG gets benefits from having the Shichubkai. The Shichibukai also get benefits from the WG. They don't necessarily trust each other, and sometimes it bites the WG in the ass, but that doesn't mean that its a program that reaps no benefits for the WG. | ||

The WG is confident in its abilities to handle them. And on the other hand, the Pirates are confident that they can either trick or defeat the Government when the time comes. But until that time does come, they both reap the benefits of the arrangement. | ||

They obviously do think they can, regardless of what the reality may or may not be. ya i mean the system only cost them a country, almost cost them another country (ignoring the numberous government officials that got toyed) almost got magellan killed and had some of the most dangerous people in existance freed from there most secure prison whats that next to having a few more fighters half ass assisting at marineford during the war? | ||

That is a whole different topic and subject than what I was talking about. If you even had a basic understanding of the English language, you would see my post simply states that REGARDLESS of what the actual reality is, the WG thinks they can handle the Shichibukai, and therefore the WG thinks the system is worth it. Talking about what the WG within the fictional world of One Piece thinks and believes is a completely different than asking what readers of the manga think about the current state of said fictional world, and I have not been commenting on the latter. i get the feeling that your overunderstimating the common sense of the WG i mean if they were so quick to throw away broken systems there wouldnt be tenryuubito going around killing people for no reason besides the whole system is obviously not made by someone who thought it through, Caeser is an extremely dangerous individual who did some extremely dangerous experiments and is a wanted fugitive but just because Dofla said that hes in his crew Caeser gets a complete pardon and Luffy would have got one if Law said the word letting one pirate and his immediate crew is one thing but there amnesty extends to every single person under them and theres literally no oversight on what they do your acting like the people who run the WG make logical decisions for the good of there people but thats not it, someone who calls the shots has one twisted mind | ||

I have said the WG thinks they are making good decisions. The WG thinks they can control the Shichibukai. The WG thinks they benefit from the Shichibukai system. These are all facts within One Piece, because if they weren't true, then the Shichibukai system wouldn't even exist otherwise. This is all I've been saying these past posts, and in the simplest form I can possible put it in, so if you still can't understand what I'm saying now, IDK what to say. Are the WG actually making good decisions? Can the WG actually control the Shichibukai? Is the Shichibukai system itself actually a good system? I dunno, don't care, I'm not even talking about any of these questions. They are completely different topics from what I'm talking about. Please stop thinking I'm talking about this stuff. | ||

I know of tons of organzaitions that actively do things they they know to be harmful themselves, but do it anyway, because the WG wants to hurt itself | ||

That guy who luffy punched out seemed like he was a moron. Yeah he seemed like someones entitled brat of a son rather than someone with any actual power. | ||
