Questionable Questing

Nah, Rayleigh is kinda too wise to held it against luffy since that's something Hachi brought on himself, principally when you consider they were enslaving a village.

Also, maybe Hachi was never able to actively bully Nami and the villagers? He's such an idiot I could easily see him failing at it and being bullied by Nami instead

He didn't help her either and tried to justify it, remember? Not really truly sorry. Never really thought about the pain his people inflicted. He was there for it all. He helped them. He fought off people who might have freed her. He knew what they were doing and did not really think they were wrong; he's just sorry that they were caught...

Sure, he's incompetent at a lot of things and, yes, he's not overtly hostile like Arlong was. But it's like saying that a slave overseer at a slave plantation isn't taking part in slavery... and Hachi was basically a guard or overseer at such a place. Even if he is an idiot...

Well, what Hachi did is what Hachi did. I feel like there could be a lot more internal struggles to talk about and explore on the Rayleigh side, especially if Hachi died.

I just want to abuse the old guy

Just like I want to abuse Whitebeard

how can I say? Hachi is the kind of person who's easily influenced by the ppl around him and will follow their lead. Also, extremely loyal too. If the ppl around him are bad, he will be bad. If good, he will be good

abusing the elderly is immoral you know

You're more immoral than me, shut up

also it feels good, so how can it be bad?

Hachi isn't a tool, Hachi is a person. A person has to be responsible for his actions. Just being influenced, just helping his friends, "just doing his job"... excuses.

Like, enough with the Hachi stuff. I feel like there's no way I could be in the wrong with that. The best defense he has is that he's retarded, but that only passes in a court of law where intent outweighs action.

On the other hand, with bullying old people, I feel I'm a bit too contrarian, if even to the point of Kanye-ness. So I feel that's something that can be discussed.

Not saying he should not be held responsible, but that's just how some people are. He was a person who became someone's tool. Unfortunately, that person was Arlong. Politicians love people like Hachi

You're right about that. I wish more people in the world were like that. Like, every one I want to take advantage of, for example... Sighhh
