The Maries outright told Joseph that King was defeated.
Also, the Marines bumped Zoro not just over Sanji but Jimbei when they're inflating former Shichibukai bounties.
Explain the Marines' limited intel on the Big Mom Pirates like not knowing what Cracker looks like or Snack being worth less than Perospero. Explain Ace's bounty being less than Perospero despite being on the same ballpark as Marco and Jozu.
My points are based on an actual understanding of One Piece. You literally think Whole Cake Island is the same type of arc as Little Garden.
