The one thing that keeps me from being certain that the nobles will cause havoc is that Whitebeard's protection is still in place. I know the World Nobles can do anything they want, but would they really be stupid enough to directly piss off a pirate like Whitebeard? Granted, it's possible that they really are that stupid and ignorant, but I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt, at least until chapter 625 comes out.
