People in OP have short term memory if Rocks is anything to go by. Question is: why didn’t they send an admiral/Lucci to deal with Morgan instead of a nameless peon, considering the influential political power he has.
It’s those strange moments of OP, one moment, the Government is extremely efficient in idiocies like avenging a CD or kill kids because of their bloodlines, other times are lassez-fairé with important things like the nika fruit and the newspapers.
