So do irl leaders, but they still want their enemies to perceive them as strong.
Because you’d have to be a complete retard to want your enemies to believe you’re weak. This is such an obvious point that has been true for all of world history, that I’m not surprised it’s too complicated for OP fans.
Also, don’t confuse “hiding your true strength” with “wanting your enemies to believe you are weak.”
In fact hiding your true strength is an extension of wanting your enemies to fear how strong you are. Hiding your true strength plays into your favor because enemies are more weary of opponents who’s true strength is unknown.
Either way, “wanting your enemies to think you are weak” is so stupid that I’m not surprised I have to explain this to Admiral haters, since only they would be dumb enough to believe this makes sense lol.
But no one see the WG as weak so the CD part can hide the rest of there power .
Like how the fuck am i a admrial hater when in fact is no one in manga not even the yonko think the WG weak .
The have tens of thousand of marines of all power levels, tech, warlords ( now seraphim )etc etc all as the face of there power .
USA has the most powerful military on earth and no one will call them weak but they sure as shit have secret tech they don't show off or talk about in the open cause there no need.
The WG is basically that they already so powerful and control most of the world just with what they showing off.
The don't need to tell the world they have Holy knights , Elders that super strong or they have 800 hundred year old leader or a weapon that wipe can out a island in seconds
They have been in control for 800 hundred without people knowing CD aspect and have show off there power that most people and nations fear them and they allow them to do what ever they want .
A CD can walk down road kill people and then rape some women and only few people in world would dare do something agaist them .
So tell me how does the world think the WG weak , when only few people would go vs them even roger who became Pk did not fight the WG full out .
This is not a case of we want to make the world think we weak but we really strong so we hiding stuff .
This is a case of we so fucking strong already and almost everyone fear us that we don't need to tell people about all our other strong shit .
