Questions & Mysteries Did the World Government really ignore that Kuma was a revolutionnary ?

[Buusatan94]

Were the World Government's highest-ranked such as the Gorousei and Imu and the Cipher Pol really ignorant of Bartolomew Kuma's past and of his affiliation with Dragon or did they know about it ?
If yes why would have they let Kuma join the Warlords in the first place ? Did Kuma lost his conscience because of that ?

 

[Jew D. Boy]

There’s no way they didn’t know, right? He was a king of a country (presumably allied with the WG) AND a famous pirate before joining the Revos. His reputation would have preceded him even back then, I’m sure it’s BECAUSE of his past that he was asked to join the Shichibukai, not in spite of it. They probably thought that removing one of Dragon’s commanders would weaken their ranks without realizing that he and Kuma worked out some sort of plan to ensure he wouldn’t be lost forever.

I think they are tainting the pants because of his hax

Everyone is scared of direct confrontation

They probably didn't know about it.

Eight years ago (six as of the start of the series), they were only just starting to talk about Dragon being a potential huge threat in the next couple of years. We know that from Dalton's flashback. By then we also already know that Jinbei and Doflamingo at least were Warlords, and chances are all the others bar Hancock- does the timeline match up for her to take the space Ace rejected?

Anyway, so the RA weren't a known threat at all really round about the time that Kuma's contemporary Warlords were being recruited. It makes more sense to me that Dragon asked him, as his right hand man, to set himself as a pirate so he could be invited and become a spy in the World Gov. Keep in mind the World Gov's intelligence is far from infallible, as they were totaally unaware of Vergo's true allegiance. It's only after this that Dragon becomes the Most Wanted Man in the World, at which point Kuma has, seemingly for years, been the most loyal of the Warlords.

Ummm.... I'm sure they forced him to work for the Government, become a Pacifista, and now a slave for the Tenryuubito because he was a former King who became part of the Revolutionaries.

I don't think thei knew he was a revo

Even if the the government knew, I doubt they would care. Kuma became a tool for the WG, and was extremely useful. Not to mention they modeled the Pacifistas after him. So if they knew it would be a seven warlord type situation where they just ignore Kuma's past for convenience.

Boa Hanock became a Warlord at age 18, 12 years ago, way befoee Ace became a Pirate.

If they did know, it would've been best to keep tabs on him as a Warlord. After the Timeskip, they would've learned he was aiding the Strawhats by protecting their ship. But by then, his mind and will were lost. All he was good for at that point was potentially luring the Revolutionaries, which he did.
