What I was also trying to get across, which will be easier now to say now since it's not 1am, is that Oda also manipulates our way of thinking about who is good and who is bad. We have thought this whole time that pirates are the good guys and Marines are the bad guys. Normally we would think that the army fighting criminals would be a good thing, though in OP we don't like the military. We are basically supporting piracy in a way, by cheering for Luffy. Yet, I don't think any of us would applaud the Somali pirates for capturing ships.
