If Cobra is dead & Sabo got framed for it already, why the fuck did Cipher Pol send one of their agents to threaten Morgan into changing the news?
I guess it makes sense tbh.
World Govt. should try to hide the fact that one of the 20 Kings was assassinated
in Mariejoa, since that shows that they are not able to guarantee security even in their own fortress. Let alone outside it.
Hadn't the info spilled out, they would have probably spread the news that Cobra was killed on sea, while returning to Alabasta, or something like that.
This way, instead, makes them lose face in front of the whole world.
"The World Govt. can't even protect one of our Kings during an event like the Reverie, right under their nose!!"
Yeah, Sabo is taking the fault of the kill (a Revolutionary) but still makes them look incompetent.
To make a real life example: imagine if the Swiss Guard failed to protect one of the main cardinals during a Conclave, or if the security staff of a NATO meeting failed to protect a country's rapresentative...
