I think it is also the only way to handle the strawhats. Check their personalities - not even Ussop would let himself get pushed around by Luffy (or any captain). Now think about Sanji, Franky and Zoro - never ever. Nami and Robin would, at most, act obedient until they have the chance to run away (or in Robins case, kill).

Trafalgar Law said it himself after hearing the lie about Whitebeard betraying his nakama: He would never do such a thing, he sees them as family and thats why he is what he is - the currently strongest pirate in the world.

Same goes for Luffy
