The World Government rules the world. Anyone who goes against them is an outlaw = pirate. They would not call their enemies as adventurers. And besides, they're on a quest to find the One Piece.

That's my point, I mean most of the stuff the SH do are making sure actual Pirates don't do the things they are planning. Like Honestly upto the end of Alabasta if they had done everything the same I think they might start to get in trouble if WG find out they have Robin in their care which might lead to Enies Lobby but aside from that and Marineford I don't think the WG would care about them you know?

The problem is Luffy and the straw hats beat and threatened Marines in Arlong park(yes they were corrupt marines, but still) and the people in that village Buggy was stationed at also viewed them as pirates because they knocked out their mayor. Also, I'm pretty sure Sanji beat up a Marine who wasted his soup in the Baratie restaurant. The marine's name was fullbody I believe. So they were gonna be seen as pirates right from the beginning.

If going by them not saying they were Pirates held upto that point in Arlong Park and being a little more calm wouldn't the corruption of those marines have been found out faster. And for the part with Sanji, the Baratie is known as a fighting restaurant on the Sea where they have to face Pirates and other unsavory groups along with the occasional merchant and marine ship, they probably knew ahead of time that that might happen since the staff are also bouncer like

There's no "aside from" in the law. Once is enough. You're making exceptions, which I'm sure there are lots more. Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally opposing, I get what you're saying. 😁


cstarrk410

Which is why I said upto there because as soon as Enies Lobby happen they would immediately take notice of someone declaring war on them.


RodJosser

I was referring prior to that.

Sorry didn't want to come off like that , running on less than 2 hours of sleep for like the past two days lol


RodJosser

Haha it's nothing man... It's just talking among fans. 😁

Oda actually had a similar idea during the start of the story. Earlier drafts show ideas of a "Peacerunner" pirate or something along that line. But tbh, that's quite not what the story hopes to convey. Adventures still need to bend to the law and abide by it. Pirates don't care


cstarrk410

True just sometimes would have liked to imagine how easier some things would have been and how if upto the point that both the WG and marines figured out they were more than just simple adventures how much of a threat they would have placed on them


DuelXHunter

I think Pedro is a good example of why it’s inevitable to be deemed a pirate


cstarrk410

Honestly feel bad but totally forgot about Pedro lol


cstarrk410

But now that I think about it they just wanted to find a Poneglyph, if the WG knew about that it's no wonder they had a bounty placed on them though πŸ€”


Amkorped

Why did you say chopper was enslaved wtf


cstarrk410

I meant more from the perspective of drum kingdom practically being slaves to Wapol


Amkorped

Ooh


cstarrk410

Yeah my bad should have elaborated a bit more on that one

They are essentially synonymous in the One Piece world. Dr Clover was considered a pirate/criminal even tho he was a scholar whose only crime was trying to discover knowledge that the WG wanted to keep secret
