It is easy to be confident in your power when you know that no one can hurt you. It is meaningless to pretend to be decent when your corruption is allowed and even encouraged because rules cannot bind you. The Celestial Dragons and those who emulate them look only at the benefits for themselves and think nothing of those under them. They never consider that while stepping one someone's face gives a great view of the world to them, those whom they step on have a significantly different view. Orochi's sense of superiority comes from the fact that Kaido is protecting him, forgetting that the emperor is not here right now and cannot always be around to protect him. He assumes that the threat of Kaido will keep him safe just as the threat of the admirals keeps the celestial dragons safe. The world government encourages its monarchies presumably for the benefits it gives them. It is an interesting discussion, but those in power will not leave it willingly. They will need to be dragged off their golden thrones and brought forward to face the people that they have oppressed. Like parasites they cannot survive without a greater host to support them and people to die and slave for them. There are exceptions such as Vivi, Neptune, Riku, and others fortunately. When the winds of change blow, they will be the ones who help to shape the world as the filth of the tyrants is being washed away. Those who learn from these leaders will be able to better themselves and understand why the rulership of tyrants cannot last. Those who cannot learn, who refuse to learn, who insist that it is their right to oppress those below them will find their power gone. They will scream for help, and find that no one cares about what happens to them. This conversation is actually bringing out many emotions in me. That is excellent, the sign that I am invested in this as always.
