User blog comment:Stone Roger/Pirates are Good or bad??/@comment-1454981-20110730070642/@comment-3279487-20110730131045

Oh and the pirates are of course evil, especially the straw hats since they challenged the WG directly. The good-natured pirates in OP you can think of them as "good" because they don't harm innocent and usually go against the evil-people, but they are more adventurers like Norland, so there was no point in even being pirates for them, they could have just set sails. If you think about it, how many poor marines, that they were doing simply their job, the straw hats "knock out" (because apparently nobody dies)? The pirates are a thread to the established order, the WG. If the WG, or part of it, is wrong or evil, then it should be changed inside of it, a good examples are marines like Smoker and Tashigi. In our world, even if you think a law is "unfair" you can't break it, you have to protest a made the govern change it, otherwise there will be civil war day by day.
