Yes, those are facts but what I’m saying is, Oda isn’t delving too deeply into those WG dynamics even so as to make it “WG-focused” as much as it is based around the warlord characters themselves. This is a story about different pirates, different motivations and plots driving pirates
Oda likes pirates, get it?
You think the warlords exist to reinforce the importance of the WG, when in reality all Oda is saying he thought they are a “cool” addition , as in he wants to make pirates based on historical privateers as a cool idea
Get it? Cool pirate addition , not so as to highlight the importance of Larines and your favourite Akainu that got two-shotted by accident
Only marine that’s gonna matter for the story is gonna be Smoker as he is the Garp of the marines
That’s it
