Reminder that One Piece is actually just a story where conspiracy theories are real. The entire point of the end game is people questioning them. Dragon reminds us of this
Through the series, we have characters going around challenging the governments authority:
Smoker
Sir Crocodile
Cobra
Fujitora
Doflamingo
Kaido
Big Mom
Shiki
Akainu(only to some extent)
Vegapunk
Saint Saturn
Whitebeard(only to some extent)
Loki
Even the Roger pirates(you can make as many memes as you want, it's still true)
Kuzan
Clover
Saul
Teach(the biggest example so far, btw)
And of course Dragon, as much as this fanbase is upset that he's not a generic Shonen idiot
Notice what characters we have, who have literally not challenged the world governments authority in any fundamental way, don't really care about dreams or any of rare races of the world?
In fact, the Gorosei themselves say they don't think Shanks would end up as a threat to them
