The chapter opened my eyes about something. Isn't it strange that there are even pirates in the world of one piece? Or that the 7 warlords are needed? Its because pirates on the sea are perfect for the world goverment. The WG could easily station a admiral or even a elder at the entrance to the grandline to capture/kill them all. But the world goverment needs this pirates. No civilian can ever explore the seas without a huge risk to be murdered by pirates. And the pirates mostly care for loot and treasure, not the exploration of the sea. The pirates are a deterrence to hinder sea exploration.

Yup, both useful and something that will inevitably cause their downfall. The flooding of the world allowed them to divide and isolate the world population to a great extent, enabling their control; but it also created the even greater urge to cross those seas, to create an adventure out of exploration, and to reconnect with ancient neighbors.
