My thoughts on Akainu and Aokiji

 Akainu - His parents were killed by pirates/bandits and he went to get revenge. He didnt mean to kill them, but out of anger and fear, was forced to kill them all. He turned himself in and the WG saw this as a oprortunity to make him a marine. Using absolute justice, he worked his way up the ranks.

 Aokiji  - He was lazy and never got a job, his family kicked him out at a young age and the only thing he could do was join the Marines. He became loyal to them and worked up through the ranks.
