User blog comment:Samium/Ten times that it feels like Oda insulted our intelligence/@comment-96.57.145.122-20160603164251

Hate to say this but I read your article and have valid points that debunk all you brought up lol

1. Spandam works for the world government, who control the marines. Spandam has pull with the world goverment and authority over the marines. Whether Aokiji trusted him or not, if Spandam ordered Aokiji to give him access to a buster call, Aokiji has to comply. The conditions on why Spandam needs a buster call can be fabricated and Spandam is known to lie to make himself look better so he could easily lie to Aokiji and be granted a buster call

2. So lets use Kong's reason then elaborate: To save public face. Monkey D Luffy (at that time) was a rookie pirate that managed to break into the world's most secure prison. This prison houses 5 known floors of hell, but the last one is a secret. Criminals placed into Eternal Hell are erased from existance. We've seen the world government lies to the people to make themselves look good, do you think they'd tell people they house the world's MOST DANGEROUS prisoners? No, they tell the commoners that the world's most dangerous people were killed or something similar. Now if you tell the commoners, "Hey remember those SUPER DANGEROUS people we told you we got rid of? Yeah somehow they all broke out of the secret dungeon we kept them all in and are now running loose all over the world...keep an eye out for them," would you trust the government anymore? Thats why the incident was covered up

3. This point you have to use suspention of disbelief. Am I going to say that Merry-Go had the secret power to teleport to Enies Lobby? No, but I believe that Merry's spirit knew one of her/his friends was in danger and that everyone would need his/her help. Once the rocketman set off for Enies Lobby, Merry went after them. You have to believe that the spirit of Merry wanted to help his/her friends so badly that the ship risked its very life to save them

4. So when we all read this part of the manga, I agree that Ace's choice to stand up for Whitebeard and not run away seemed like an idiotic move. However, in the Post War arc, it made sense and was perfect. Ace grew up listening to everyone tell him that he's pure evil and deserves only to die. EVERYONE insulted his father and told him that he didn't deserve to live. After Sabo died, Ace set out to do what Garp told him to do, "find out the reason to live for yourself." When Ace met Whitebeard, he found the very thing he longed for, a reason to live. He had a family of people that all cared for him including Whitebeard who "saved" Ace and proved to him that everything people said about him was false. So when Akainu insulted the man Ace cared for the most, the man who pulled him out of that dark hole he was in, Ace had to stand up for him. Even as a child, Ace never backed down from a bully whether they insulted him, Luffy, or Whitebeard...but that personality flaw caused Ace's death

5. This one is a little simple: Nico Olivia, like the Oharans, is someone who believes history should be embraced and studied even if everyone tells you to forget it. History is one of the most sacred treasures in our world, its all we have to tell us about times we have no way of experiancing. What would happen if someone destroyed all the Greek relics? That would be devestating because your children and your children's children could never look at the ancient Greeks and learn how people thousands of years ago lived. History teaches us the building blocks of our culture, and it also tells us what mistakes to avoid so we don't repeat them. Something happened in the void century that the World Government doesn't want people to know. Nico Olivia wanted to research it, a crime that she was fully aware. She did not want her daughter to suffer because of her, hence the neglect

6. This can conflict with people's morals but what Akainu did is completely justifiable. I personally don't condone genocide but when you want to eradicate a group of people, you must be thorough. Akainu was under orders from the world goverment to eradicate the Oharans. If one scholar lied to get on board the refugee ship, then the mission would be a failure. To ensure total victory over Ohara, the entire civilization, down to the last man woman and child, had to be killed.

7. This coincides perfectly with Spandam's arrogant nature. Think about, a bunch of no name pirates infiltrated your facility, their captain is worth only 100,000,000 Beli, they stupidly burned the world government's flag, attacked marine and goverment officials, and you have CP9 the most powerful Cipher Pol to exist, and you have Rob Lucci himself protecting you. Nico Robin is in seastone cuffs and you have an elephant sword...would you be afraid of some pirates you didn't know? We all Spandam was incredibly wrong to be so arrogant, but arrogance was his character

8. Fukaboshi stopped the fight to try and understand Hody. Hody was a zealot that hated humans to such an unseen level that he was willing to destroy his own men, let his best friends all die, and kill all of fishman island just for rallying behind one human. That is beyond crazy and Fukaboshi needed to know just what made Hody so insane. Then when he heard Hody say "Nothing" he knew just how horrible Hody was. Hody was exactly what Queen Otohime feared, a child that basked in hatred without first hand experiance. Fukaboshi knew that if Fishmen and Humans could ever peacefully live together, that Hody's mindset would demolish everything.

9. What makes you think that? Every villain underestimates Nami and thats exactly how she defeats them. Unlike when she fought Miss Doublefinger, Nami knew how to use the perfect Clima-Tact and was able to manipulate the weather to combat Kalifa's devil fruit power. Also remember that Kalifa is the weakest of CP9 just as Nami could be considered the weakest Straw Hat. All Nami needed was to set things up for one good opening and unleash a lightning bolt at Kalifa to achieve victory

10. Now I will agree with you big time that Rebecca was WAAAAAAY too whiny and cried a little too much. Personally I did not like Rebecca and I'm sure many fans did not like her. But remember, although its not officially confirmed, Luffy stated that Rebecca may use Kenbunshuko Haki and that alone makes her a dangerous opponent. She can sense what move you'll make before you land a blow and that was key to her strategy. She'd hang out right at the edge of the ring and accuratly dodge your attack. Your momentum would carry you right over the edge and she defeats you via technicality. Is it sportsman like? No, but she never hurts anyone, just like her mother always wanted her to. Its not always the strongest warrior who wins, sometimes its the smartest and Rebecca's strategy was very smart.

Do you agree, disagree? I welcome other opinions
