The Navy has defended the Celestial Dragons for centuries. Ryokugyu joined the Navy two years ago. If Ryokugyu’s life’s mission was to defend the Celestial Dragons, he could’ve joined the Navy long before now.
3rd - They still obey the Celestial Dragons, they go out there and do their shit when told. Remember those marines that refused to act when Axe Morgan told them to? those guys are better marines than the fucking Admirals. They just don't shit because they are told. They are 100% trash for doing CDs bidding.
By definition the Marines who don’t obey orders are
worse Marines lmfao. What determines being an effective member of a military is the ability to follow orders effectively. Admiral haters are monkeys so they of course don’t understand the concept of military efficiency but this is actually how things work irl.
But anyway, ask yourself who has protected and saved more innocent people: the Admirals who actively oppose and fight against all pirates around the world, the vast majority of which commit atrocities against civilians regularly,
Or the fodder Marines who don’t obey a single order Axe Hand gives them in BFE East Blue, lmfao
