I've been telling this to people for ages. There's a difference between legend and truth. People take the comments from fodder characters way too seriously.

Just think of the things they've said about Luffy. Just a few weeks ago he was apparently known to be eight foot tall and a violent monster. Then the case where nobody suspected the Fake Straw Hats (even the Marines stationed there), other than people who knew the originals personally.
