Well,I partially disagree about the Marines protecting the citizens.Yes,they know that generally pirates are bad.So they focus their attention on fighting against the pirates.But I think the marines could even fight someone who is not a pirate.They should have eliminated someone who is just bad.The Marines focus their attention only on the pirates,not on the bad people like the celestial dragons,the time when crocodile colonized the arabasta and arabasta was helpless assuming that the marines is just the only help arabasta would have. Plus,the Arlong Pirates ruled over the cocoyashi village.Knowing that theres an official marine soldier who knows something about the situation of the village have.
