I probably failed to express myself, yes you are right about Smoker and Tashigi's deeds. But my point is, was that decision valid enough? Arresting an unconscious person while saying his rights are revoked is one thing, but making that decision official is not the same. I mean if any given marine could revoke Warlords then the title would not mean shit. As in case of Crocodile the higher ups agreed to the removal and even rewarded Smoker for it, the case holds else it would not mean anything.
