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.

They also need a reason for having such a huge military force. By keeping pirates around, you justify the heavenly tribute, can wipe out countries and blame pirates, and perpetuate a war that prevents the development of more technology

Sounds eerily similar to real life

One of the brilliant things about OP is that so much of it is based on our own world. We all realize our own world is sinking too right??
