This video is incredibly informative! I've always been curious about the hierarchy within the World Government in One Piece, and this breakdown really helped me understand it better. Great job!
Smoker is really underrated he could conquer the east south north and west sea and if he had mastered the armament and Ken haki he would dominate some powerful fighters in the new world
Am I the only one thinking imu knows where the one piece is and luffy is gonna fight imu as a final fight to find the one piece? I mean it would be sick if luffy fought the highest ranking person in the world and finally became the king of the pirates
Admirals aren't "yonko level" If they were they would easily destroy pirates or even so,if they were the world goverment wouldn't need to have prepared three admirals for just one yonko aka whitebeard
The World Government is one of the most magnificently well-developed fictional despotisms. The first worrying sign is found in Marines like Morgan, Nezumi and later, the Cipher Pool. Each of these men discharges his duty with a pedantry, a rigour, an air of importance uniquely designed to give prominence to the most obscure employment, he does not permit himself to say so, but you can see him thinking approximately this: 'Make way for me, I am one of the members of the great machine of the State. These officials had been deprived of all true discretion and were deeply fearful of the power to which they were subordinate. Their conduct was the revenge of men constrained to behave like machines: a revenge not upon the author of their servitude, of course, for that was impossible at the time, but upon those who fell within their extremely limited power. The propensity to deceive and to be (or to pretend to be) deceived lay at the heart of the One Piece World's malaise. The maintenance of despotism depended upon this universal vocation for untruth, because without the fiction that despotism was necessary, that it conduced to the happiness and well-being of all, and that any alternative would be disastrous, the subject population would cease to be controllable. The inability to speak even the most evident truth perverted all human relationships and institutions. For the whole elaborate charade of despotism to work, for the pretense that despotism is both indispensable and conducive to the welfare of all, everyone must appear to believe in it-including the despot himself. The Gorosei, as a consequence, remain trapped in a permanent state of fear and irritation, because they know that they are not in fact omnipotent, but they cannot openly acknowledge this obvious fact and they cannot permit anyone or anything else to question the pretense on which their authority depends. Any rebellious behavior on the part of the meanest of their subjects assumes a disproportionate importance and must be ferreted out and put down. So the Gorosei, through an army of spies, must keep an eye on everyone. If the Gorosei is all-powerful, they are of course responsible for everything: therefore nothing untoward can happen in the country without the imputation of the Gorosei's ill will. But in that case, how is the imputation of omnipotence to be reconciled with that of perfect benevolence? If something terrible happens to innocent people, either the Gorosei must not be omnipotent or must not be benevolent. The only way to square the circle is to lie oneself and be deceived when others lie in similar fashion: to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, even when evil abounds. For example, the whole avoidable tragedy of Flevance, a town left to die of lead poisoning not only because of the government's greed, but because every mishap in the WG is seen as a matter of state, and because "to lie is to protect the social order, to speak the truth is to destroy the State," there followed "a silence more terrifying than the disaster itself." If a whole rich city could disappear, not only without a trace but without comment. Who in such a system could ever feel safe? The silence encompassed not only past events, but extended back into history. In Sabaody, we saw how the Tenyruubitos went to buy slaves at an auction house frequented by pirates and criminals, as well as the fact that one of them took a woman by force after murdering her fiancé. Eyewitnesses avoided looking at the Tenryuubito, not only to avoid being shot, but also to feign ignorance of what was happening. Thus they could silence their conscience of having remained still like worms, while the "creators of the world" showed themselves to be real pirates. When a man fell from grace, he not only ceased to exist, he ceased ever to have existed. The Void Century, the Ohara archaeologists who tried to investigate it, the prisoners on Level 6 of Impel Down, Rocks D Xebec, all these characters, whether small or large, were erased from history because they did not fit into official narratives. The government killed a man twice, first physically and then in memory. Eichiro Oda showed in his work too well the violence that this remaking of history did to the minds of men, and the consequences it had for their character and behavior. In order not to look at the Tenryuubito, a person had to know that those bastards could murder or enslave anyone who didn't show them absolute reverence, but his whole purpose in not looking at the Tenryuubito was to demonstrate in public his ignorance of the crimes. He thus had not only to assert a lie but also to deny that he knew it was a lie. And all officials-the Gorosei included-had likewise to pretend that they did not know they were being lied to, or else the whole edifice of falsehood would have come tumbling down. The need to always to lie and always to avoid the truth stripped everyone of the two greatest gifts of God-the soul and the speech which communicates it." People became hypocritical, cunning, mistrustful, cynical, silent, cruel, and indifferent to the fate of others as a result of the destruction of their own souls. Moreover, the upkeep of systematic untruth requires a network of spies: indeed, it requires that everyone become a spy and potential informer. And the spy, believes only in espionage, and if you escape his snares he believes that he is about to fall into yours. The damage to personal relations was incalculable. The buildings and streets of Mariejois offered another deep glimpse into the WG’s soul. The city, to which he did not deny a certain beauty, is the physical embodiment of despotism. It was founded as the imperial capital not for the benefit of the people, as the natural expression of their economic or social activity, but as a permanent bulwark of the regime. The very selection of the terrain-a freezing mountain-for the construction of a city by the fiat of the despots was an expression of contempt for humanity, for in such a place construction necessarily entailed the deaths of hundreds of thousands of men. Only where human labor-and life itself-ostentatiously counted for nothing could such a system of building maintenance have been envisaged, let alone tolerated. The streets of Mariejois were much too wide for the city's population and the vast public spaces were bound to make a man feel overwhelmed and insignificant. In such vastnesses, no assembly would constitute a crowd unless it were scores of thousands strong. Intimidating gigantism of this kind-a constant feature of communist town planning, from Bishkek in Kirghizia to Bucharest in Rumania, from Pyongang in North Korea to Minsk in Byelorussia-discouraged spontaneity, the enemy of all despotism.

100%
also kirapiece do you believe Commander in Chief Kong and commander of the Holy knights garling are equals
Interesting, I don’t think so, because they’re supposed to be the knights of the Celestials, so one would think they’d be stronger, you know?
Am I the only one thinking imu knows where the one piece is and luffy is gonna fight imu as a final fight to find the one piece?
I mean it would be sick if luffy fought the highest ranking person in the world and finally became the king of the pirates
Maybe, but it also depends on what the One Piece is
Admirals aren't "yonko level"
If they were they would easily destroy pirates or even so,if they were the world goverment wouldn't need to have prepared three admirals for just one yonko aka whitebeard
I didn’t know that
You learn something new everyday!
KiraPiece do you believe rob lucci and sakazuki are related both share top dark absolute justice right guys
