I have a pirate crew. We may not be able to surpass Roger, but dealing with the Marines is easy enough.
I have a country too, and it's not the kind that the Marines, pirates, or schemers can overthrow whenever they please.
I have an army, an intelligence agency, and an assassination agency, all more advanced and stronger than the Marines.
I'm not competing with you to become the Pirate King, and I'm not fighting you over treasure. I'm already the king here. All under heaven is the king's land.
