Imo it's beyond silly to try to paint all the hundreds and hundreds of marines on GV as some imaginary "bad apples" group precisely because of how Dragon ties into this whole subplot story-wise. The whole narrative point of the Dragon subplot conflict is to establish the baseline of marine morality (aka ultimately complying with spamming cannonballs against civilians desperately escaping a genocide game) to contrast it with the ONE oddball exception that manifested under such circumstances. There would be little point (and even less weight or impact) to Dragon's defiance and later disenchantment with the Navy if what we saw marines do en masse on GV could not be extrapolated to most of the organization.
This is such moral bankruptcy it is idiotic. Garp already defied them and let countless babies around the world get slaughtered via keeping Ace secret. If the bastard was willing to break out his son, he should have done the same for Ace, or sold Ace to the dogs ages ago and at least saved some innocent babys from his fellow monstrous Marines.
Garp lost ANY claim to righteousness and not being a dogshit person when he sprung Dragon from jail and did not leave with him / make a stand then and there. The fact he remaiend a Marine after God Valley where he kept his goddamn memory about one of his World Government bosses literally being a Spider Demon piloted by the Devil is the icing on the cake.

But Dragon is not an exception?? Garp told his men to help the citizens too... and the man is a true blue marine.
Now we can either believe that Garp is mean to be delusional about the marines morality, that Harald was wrong about the marines being an upstanding army... or that these bad actions are carried by a couple of rotten officers that the rank and file don't have the guts to oppose.
If that were true, Shiki would have also known that Tom has the blueprints.
Your headcanon relies on Shiki somehow hearing a rumor that Roger’s shipwright has possession of Pluton’s blueprints, but also somehow not hearing that Roger’s shipwright is a guy named Tom in Water 7

Dude it’s just a working guess? It’s canon that Shiki found out that Roger had a tie to some kinda weapon. That’s all, it could be literally anything or Shiki could be wrong.
Doesn’t change the fact that the war is a canon event and Shiki is a canon character.
