The following article contains spoilers for One Piece.
like one piece As we advance into the Final Saga, fans are wondering whether Luffy will be able to achieve his dream of becoming the Pirate King, and whether his group will become the Pirate King. one piece treasure. Recent developments have allowed us to learn more about the New World and its ruling class. But as the story reveals more about the world's nobility, it seems increasingly clear that many officials in the government and the Marine Corps do not feel the same way.
The Marines are initially introduced as the main antagonists, but there are many good officers who try to protect others. Fans always assumed that some members of the Navy would eventually rebel, but the final arc would benefit heavily from high-ranking officials betraying the government, or at least organizing some kind of rebellion against the nobility. Throughout the series, we will take a closer look at the relationship between the Navy and the government.
World Government in One Piece
In the world of the series, the world is mostly ruled by the World Government, a federation of over 170 nations. But most people live on islands scattered across the blue sea. The World Government is an aristocratic oligarchy led by the World Nobility, also known as the Celestial Dragons. Among the nobles of the world, there is the Five Elders, a council of five highest authorities.

The world government aims to maintain world peace and order. Although it is made up of affiliated countries, it exercises power as if it dominates the entire world through multi-layered governance. In addition to the Five Elders, many decisions are made at Levely Council meetings. Like other governments, world governments rely on judicial, police, and military institutions to maintain order, and the Marine Corps is one of them.
Perhaps there will be no single king to rule the government, and an empty throne will represent this. But in reality, the throne is occupied by Imu, the secret ruler of the world.

Pirates as symbols of discontent
Technically, pirates are criminals who primarily raid ships and places across the blue sea. They typically act in groups (called crews), and high bounties are usually placed on those who capture them. Although he is often seen as a greedy and ruthless person, one piece, We see a lot of pirates like the Straw Hat Pirates who are actually good and adventurous looking for treasure.
As the story progresses and the comics begin to delve deeper into the politics of this universe, it becomes clear that the “good pirates” are often opposed to the world's governments. There are organizations that aim to overthrow the government, such as the Revolutionary Army, but not all pirates who oppose the status quo necessarily have the intention of joining the revolutionary movement.
The Marine Corps' Role in Maintaining the Status Quo
The Marine Corps, or Navy, is an organization that 'controls the seas' through law enforcement and naval warfare. They act as a mix of the police and the military (since the military is generally not responsible for general law enforcement). It is part of a larger organization used by governments to maintain control, but it is also a major military force. The government also controls Seraphim, Cipher Pol, and the Holy Knights in the shadows. They also established ties with the Shichibukai, a powerful group of pirates who were granted immunity in exchange for providing services to the government upon request. Structures officially controlled by the government include:
-
Marine Corps: Primary military unit;
-
Cipher Pol: Intelligence and police organization;
-
Seraphim: The government's ultimate cyborg weapon (replaces the Seven Lords)
-
Paladin (in the shadows).
After the Summit, the Marine Corps moved its headquarters to New Marineford Base in the New World (it was previously located at Marineford in the Paradise area), but like any military organization, it has branches and bases scattered around the world. They were introduced as the main antagonists, but the series slowly shifted its focus to detailing the overall structure that controlled the Marines, despite still being antagonists.

While the Navy claims to fight for justice and peace, it often engages in questionable actions and uses unnecessary violence. Many high-ranking officers are corrupt and evil, and may even give orders to their subordinates even if they disagree with them (since hierarchy does not allow for disobedience, even if it is a “wrong order”). Because of this, many fans speculated that the 'good officers' would eventually rebel against the institution and the government. Some companies, like Monkey D. Dragon, have already done so.
Is mutiny possible within the Navy?
As mentioned, a Marine mutiny is not only possible, but highly anticipated. The Revolutionary Army is evidence that many people are dissatisfied with the institutions they joined to help people, not to protect corruption. Some fans even speculate that most admirals would at least refuse to fight Luffy, even if they don't explicitly join any rebellious movements within the military. Fujitora in particular is mentioned by fans as someone who is likely to attack the government.
In fact, considering how many new concepts and powers the series introduces to show that the nobles of the New World are much more powerful than we've ever seen before, it could even serve as a setup for the rebellion. At the beginning of the series, the Marines were the main antagonists. A mutiny within the naval establishment will make the plot more interesting, as there are now more powerful enemies. For even admirals will fight against the authorities above them. Moreover, SWORD, a group of officers who have officially left the Navy but still operate under that name, is a clear sign that a mutiny is coming. Still, it would be a bit disappointing if all the admirals switched sides. The front lines of government still need to be tense. After the final war, Covey could have led the New Navy.
You can't always blame others for your fate and expect them to solve everything. Don't you think that's a sign of weakness?
Nevertheless, let us keep in mind that the revolutionary army also seeks not the end of the government itself, but the end of the world aristocracy that controls it. So the governance structure won't change much at the end of the series, but a new, better government (perhaps a less centralized one?) will likely emerge. In any case, a mutiny in the Navy or some kind of division into internal factions (one that opposes the government and one that protects it) would be a huge help to the Final Saga.
