User blog comment:AYET/An awkward situation - Rayleigh at GR12 after Luffy's departure/@comment-3425840-20121022214251/@comment-3425840-20121023223617

First of all, One Piece like other piece of work is not perfect and many glitches exist. We have to deal with them. However there could be logic on why they are not doing what they should have done.

I just wanted to say Shakky is strong, did not mean she would not be in trouble. However to pursue her would mean to pursue Rayleigh which the Government seems reluctant to do. The reasons could be:

Ace was used as a bait to lure out WB (it was over successful). However Rayleigh won't be a bait to anyone. (I think the only Roger Pirates that are active today is Shanks and Buggy. Now Shanks is too level headed to fall for a bait and Buggy simply does not matter. The reason for me thinking only them two being active is because the rest of the crew were significantly older and therefore if they remained active they would have been very old by now and thus they would had to have a very high position like an Yonko or something like that to fend of wanna be rookies who wants to make a name by taking famous people down - now this does not look like the case). Due to this reason Rayleigh seems like a loss project for the government. As he is much tougher than Ace to be captured and much less profitable execution material.

I know the argument was pretty half-assed but that is all I can think now with this tired mind (just back from work).
