Depends on a number of factors, if the world knows that he is a pacifista then it becomes a non-issue since he is a weapon now and not technically a pirate. Also, they could easily say that Kuma is one of the pacifistas since the supernova's before the time-skip mistook the pacifistas for the real thing. At any rate, he is the only one they are unlikely to get rid of. As for Vegapunk, does anyone outside of the government and marines even know of his involvement in this project aside from Luffy, his crew and Rayleigh? He seems to be staying out of the spotlight working on his projects. As long as he continues to develop weapons and equipment for the marines and government to use, I highly doubt that they will get rid of him unless they decide they don't need him anymore.
