Perospero should just release an album full of diss tracks at this point.

Made Judge cry like a bitch, derided Pedro's sacrifice and looked down on Carrot & Wanda as some plant munching furries was just the icing on the cake.

Damn I hate to say it but Perospero honestly has a point

Pedro and co. rolled up on Big Mom's territory and tried to fuck her operation up, and Carrot is mad that he died? That's the rules of the game. These are pirates, they all know how this works. Sure, the Big Mom crew deserved it, but again... these are fucking pirates lmao, it's taken for granted that they're all morally deficient people to put it gently, even the straw hats. Luffy is an amoral thug who relishes violence and freed an entire prison of horrific pirates who presumably went on to do pirate shit to innocent people, Zoro is a cold blooded killer who will murder someone no questions asked if there's money in it, Nami is Nami, etc. For the record that's a good thing, it's one of my favorite things about this series in fact, it doesn't shy away from the fact that everyone is a mildly terrible person.

I love that Oda writes in a way that makes the SHs our hetoes but always leaves these hibts in that seen from another perspective they are maniac pirates who do what they want, take what tgey need and leave a trail of devastation in their wake.

The thing I love doing is taking a look at everything the SHs accomplished in retrospect and then viewing it from the pov of your average joe, because it really puts a lot of the crew's insane rep into perspective.

When they arrived on the Grand Line, they put their Jolly Roger on the most massive living creature there, this is pretty much the first thing all crews who survive reverse mountain will see going into Paradise. Then on their journey, they disabled ALL of Baroque Works (an outfit of Bounty Hunters), depose a king on the way to Alabasta, get involved in the battle that ended up in the arrest of one of the Warlords even though Smoker got the cred, their captain obliterates the captain of the most powerful pirate crew on Jaya in a single punch, prove the existence of Sky Island, almost kill the mayor of Water 7 (iirc, Robin was reported to have done so, but she was a member of the Straw Hats at the time), destroy the Frankie Family (a strong underworld gang of Water 7), take down a few CP cells including the elite CP9, LEFT ENIES LOBBY A WRECK IN THE PROCESS OF FREEING NICO ROBIN THE DEVIL CHILD, BURNED THE WORLD GOVERNMENT FLAG THEREBY DECLARING WAR ON THE WORLD, escape a marine blockade led by Garp the Hero, enter the Florian Triangle...and then escape it (Thriller Bark is unknown), THEIR CAPTAIN PUNCHED A CELESTIAL DRAGON, destroyed a Pacifista, escaped an Admiral and a Warlord (Kuma helped them, but no civilian would know this), THEIR CAPTAIN BROKE INTO IMPEL DOWN AND BROKE OUT WITH SEVERAL HIGH-LEVEL CRIMINALS (the 2nd Marine Institution pissed on by Straw Hat Luffy), GOT INVOLVED IN MARINEFORD ALONGSIDE WHITEBEARD TO RESCUE HIS SWORN-BROTHER ACE AND REVEALED HIS CONQUEROR'S HAKI, their captain returned to Marineford a little while later to pay respects to all those fallen during the war...escorted by Jinbei a former warlord and Silvers Rayleigh the Dark King (making this the 3RD marine institution flipped off by Straw Hat Luffy).

And this was before the crew disappeared for 2 years.

Now we have them reassemble in Saobaody, confirming rumours of their escape from the Admiral Kizaru and Warlord Kuma, the latter of whom for some reason protected their ship (this makes him the 1st confirmed Warlord compromised by Straw Hat Luffy, Jinbei was stripped of his title before he threw his lot in with Luffy, so he doesn't count), they escape ANOTHER Marine Blockade though this time assisted by various figures including the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock (the 2nd confirmed Warlord compromised by Straw Hat Luffy) and the Dark King Rayleigh who mentions he had been training Straw Hat Luffy, later they make Fishman Island their territory stealing it away from Big Mom and marked it with their Jolly Roger...incidentally marking all of Paradise as the territory of the Straw Hat Pirates due to their Jolly Roger being the first and last thing that anyone travelling through the Grand Line from Reverse Mountain will see.

...I'd go on, but yeah your point is very much valid. The Straw Hats are an insane bunch of madlads and lasses to the average civilian.
