Questions & Mysteries Why doesn't the world government hunt down the Ds?

#1
If the Ds are God's - Celestial Dragons - natural enemy, then why does the world government not hunt down any Ds? Or at least spread propaganda to villanize them in the eye of the public? Aside from Law, none of the other Ds seem to give a shit about hiding their name. Jaguar D. Saul and Monkey D. Garp even joined the Marine as members of the D and no one gave a shit

Because most of them hide their D. name!
Law was a Schichibukai and WG was not aware and still isn't aware that he is a D.!
BB and Ace were D. that actually the government would work with!

And i don't think the Marines would be the ones hunting them down,i think this matter would be entrusted to cipher pol!

Only Law did hide his name, the rest didn't really care. Jaguar D. Saul and Monkey D. Garp even joined the Marine as Ds without hiding their names

Because it’s not easy. The D’s also have a habit of being rather powerful, and it’s a world where hiding is quite easy because it’s almost entirely sea. Gandhi Gorosei also implied that the D’s have only started to become more in the spotlight in recent years. They erased nearly all knowledge of Rocks, covered up Roger being a D, managed to hide the Garp/Dragon relationship, Blackboard hid himself, they executed Ace, Law hid his own name… it is somewhat covered up.

Plus, the bounty system kind of does exactly what you suggested. The Marines actually have been trying to hunt down D’s like Luffy for years, they’ve just failed.

The question is more why they accept them into the Marines.

Because there was no point.

None of them know about the void century (maybe Garp but he doesnt really care or he does not think he is enough to change the world).

They are some mere remnants, nothing relevant, not a threat. And some of them are part of their organization so they can be monitored.

Only now D. people are appearing much more in the news like the Gandhi dude said.

Because if the world governments start searching for these specific people, it'll lead to too many questions. Most Ds live and die with no great change, just because a few cause issues doesnt mean the world government can commit genocide and call it justice. Even normal people will ask questions.

most of them are already wanted criminals anyway:
-the world government changed roger's name to hide it.
-law kept it hidden cuz he wanted to surprise doflamingo with it.
-luffy, xebec, teach are already wanted pirates, no point in hiding the name.
-no one has ever heard dragon's full name until water 7

they're hiding, there's also just a few of them, corazon called them "the fateful few".
-corazon: the name lives on in the dark shadows of history around the world
-doflamingo: the people of the D who have smoldered away beneath the currents of history, when they will show themselves and where?

i'm not sure about garp and saul though.

It is not that just because you have a D. In your surname you are an enemy of the WG. Indeed we have Garp or Saul who worked for the WG. And Garp is the greatest marine of all times as far as we know yet he is also a D. Sure be a D. Means you have a particular set of mind and so you will never be a true follower of the WG/gorosei yet we, again, had Garp beat Xebec for the CD.

About the other D. the WG is indeed doing his best to erase them since they are all pirates but we also know IM, the true ruler of the WG, hates Luffy and BB with a passion and that is probably because they are rn the most prominent D. who can be/become the "one Roger was waiting for" and that probably means the ine to overthrow the WG (then there is also Dragon who from the WG poijt of view should be even scarier yet he most likely doesn't fill the bill of successor of Roger, or maybe even successor of Xebec..).

They don't? Outside of those allied with the WG, where are there instances of the World Government leaving these guys to live in peace?

In fact, the one example we know of where D's are living a quiet life is Law's family, and that is only because they hid the fact that they were D's.

If they are hiding their D initial, then obviously it's because if they didn't, then they'd be hunted down by the WG.

something fucked up nobody ever talks about: if you take this (official) translation literally, law is saying he's a fake D. an alias is a "false or assumed identity". "Water" is his secret name, and we don't actually know the whole story behind his family yet.

The D.s are catalogues as sworn enemies of the Government so obviously that implicates they are a priority, but still, so are the major Pirate forces and the thing is at the end of the day it's not easy to mobilize squads of admirals in order to hunt them leaving the headquarters fundamentally exposed.

Because that would draw even more attention, and people will be even more suspicious about what's the meaning of D. and why the government is after them. The idea is covering it up completely since everyone already forget about it, and leaving it alone, since no one even Nico Robin, who can even read the ancient language still doesn't know anything about it. Oden too only learns when they reached Laugh Tale, and Whitebeard only learned from Roger, after Roger returned from Laugh Tale and become the Pirate King. Before no one knew anything about it.

Not even higher ranks in the marines and the higher ranked government officers knows about it, some marines don't even know about Xebec, let alone D.'s history, probably only some special higher ranked Celestials and Imu knows about D. fully, and former Roger pirates except for Shanks (unless Rayleigh or others told him too after they return from Laugh Tale).

Gorousei is also smart enough to know that starting a witch-hunt against D. would create suspicions and rather than make it more obvious why they were their enemies, they probably thought ignoring it completely is a better idea. Because even D. people like Law, Saul, Luffy has no idea what it means.

Just imagine; Garp, a D., is one of the strongest marines of the world government, why would anyone think that D. are the enemies of the government when they look at Garp? That covers it up.

Or, it could be for political reasons like inviting and accepting Jinbe into Shichibukai, to make peace with Fishman people instead of keep fighting with them like they did with Fisher Tiger. So perhaps they wanted to make peace with D. by acceting them into the marines and Shichibukai.

The question is more why they accept them into the Marines.
Or to Shichibukai. Probably for the reason I explained above, trying to make them look like their strongest allies so no one would think or suspect that D. would be their enemies, and they wouldn't start to think D. was their enemies, or just like trying to make peace with them like they did with Jinbe. They also accepted Blackbeard into Shichibukai, and previously invited Ace to the Shichibukai as well.

very good n detailed explanation :pepelit:
D is just a name what world nobles or Wg fear is th" MEANING OF D" n so far oda still keep that in secret
although if we seen garp action we can see that WG cannot control garp entirely so D has always have gene to "REBEL" to WG
intrestingly Roscinante who tell law to cover his name also know about D so every world nobels must be know the danger of D but even then they still use D name in marines maybe because they also see the "Potential" in D ...

We know the reason is plot.


A in universe reason could be thay they hunt, but the D. nerly always find a way to run from the WG, like Luffy have done with Marines, Warlords and CP9.


Probabily the D. have caused some problems to the WG in the time since the Void Century, but nothing that big like in the times of the Ancient Kingdom, and the WG try to use them and keep them under control if they know nothing about the Void Century, probably thats why Garp and Saul were accepted in to the marines and Teach in the Warlords. And was just some time ago, since Rocks, that they started to become more central figures in the world history again, as the time for the Dawn came closer.

And another reason is that some of the D. are just too strong to hunt, like Rocks, Roger, Dragon, Teach and Luffy
