@Sir Yasheen something I thought about when it comes to Vegapunk accusing the WG of wrong doing is that the WG has York to counter the testimony VP gives out by twisting it as anti-wg propaganda.
They would probably have proof of the connection to Dragon as well as the CP agents in lock-up as well, maybe even the connection to Luffy on top of that. It's pretty much be the safe and secure wg + another version of Vegapunk against the accusations of an established criminal
Going the self-humbling route and sticking with facts cuts this off
