Let's review facts: the Straw Hats are the main characters. They have miraculously survived two admiral attacks and attacks by the same shichibukai, not to mention Luffy has gotten through all three of the major government installations without much lasting physical damage. He was 17 at the time. That's pretty impressive. And don't forget that the Straw Hats have managed to make allies of Shichibukai, as well as some of the most powerful people on the planet. That is pretty awesome to me. Admirals may be stretching it, but anything is possible.

@Most recent AWC Aokiji has moral justice. He thinks that the government is stupid for wiping out an entire civilization, so he hopes to reverse that. Remember that he stabbed Luffy, defeated the entire crew, and sowed the seeds of dissent among the Straw Hats that prompted the entire Enies Lobby Arc.
