User blog comment:Fliu/The Vinsmoke Family's next course of action?/@comment-31434191-20170519140754

One thing we're not considering here is the Vinsmokes reputation being ruined. Sure, Big Mom may go down, but if the Vinsmokes don't die they are going to be a complete laughing stock of the Underworld (Judge mostly for the whole crying and begging for mercy and honor thing), which will no doubt hurt buisness as well making others fear them less, which is more or less their whole reputation. Unless they bring down the Big Mom Pirates (really unlikely considering that most due to both the large number of members and the fact that most of them are leagues above the Vinsmokes in actual power), which would give them some credibility at the cost of it being a complete and utter asspull on Oda's part. And despite everything, I sincerly doubt the other Emperors of the Underworld will forget the Judge begged for mercy and had to be saved by the Straw Hats (who aren't exactly the most respected or well-liked people in the Underworld).
