I do agree with you although i am not that surprised that this is the way Oda chose for the Strawhats to leave. Luffy said it in the manga that pirates have to leave as pirates ... now i too was hoping for luffy to add to his little army and territory. I still think that when they will be leaving the citizens will look at the ship and wont see Rebecca and maybe have an epiphany or something.

But it still is possible for Luffy to play the role of the villan and proclaim to Fujitora that this Island is now his territory. Lets hope
