Actually, you raised my concerns about the political affairs in the OP world, now that Akainu is incharge of the military. Biological warfare/ neuroweaponry all kinds of sick stuff US defence force come with are by no means new.

Does it mean that Akainu will try to use Vagapunk's genuis and accomplishments in the science of weaponry to initate "controlled depopulation" of the pirates or some twisted, convulsive ideas like these?

It's kind of a new take on the whole thing if you think about. It doesn't seem that the private sector actually owns anything in OP and that the corrupt government and uber-rich citizens (there are no corporations) control everything.

I find it interesting because it kinda reflects our society today. Pirates are a product of this twisted system who want to break free illegaly. But then again rules are men-maid for the purpose of instigating social control.

Then we hav the Revolunaries who try to overthrow the government. What role does sceince play in the game? Because the pacificsta alone are pretty powerful weapons. Notice the hypocricy in the name "pacifista"? That's what we call "war" in our society.

Sorry for turning this into a political banter pretty much, but i can't help see that One Piece is a very clever take on the our own world we live in today. Much like Dragon Ball, it's very influential, in this way. I'd like to see the outcome of the series to know the answers :)
