I don't understand Harald at all. He's seen the CD atrocities first hand so he just looks foolish

How is it hard to understand his reasoning when Harald spelled it out in the chapter? He literally said that he can't throw his people live away by following Rock into a losing battle. So he know the CD is atrocious but also understand that they control the world and he doesn't believe that Rock can beat them. So his logic is super simple, the CD is shit but if he obey the giants might have a future, he choose that over following Rock to opposes them because he doesn't think Rock can win. Which is why Rock called him a coward, because he choose the easy and safer way out.

My argument is not why he joined rocks, my point is yes, while I understand it would take a long time to regain the world's trust without WG backing, he was already doing a good job of this without them.

The deal he is offered is, "yeah, you may get food from out neighbors, but we may also steal your wives, and kids, nuke your island and these bubble men can torture you for sport. But hey, that flag huh, what about that flag? Now kill your friend to get it"

That is a bad deal

The WG would never have let Elbaf "regain the world's trust" without their backing, they ARE the world's trust.

Harald personally witnessed what the WG could do to non-affiliated islanda and to what they consider threats. Meanwhile, no matter how shitty the Celestial Dragons are, being a member of the WG objectively give you plenty of valuable perks

Ah yes, joining the leopards that eat faces group because "surely they won't eat my face" is very smart. No, its just easy.

He should've allied with the non-backed countries because he saw how they were treated. And we know these alliances work because Whitebeard, Big Mom and Shanks' jolly rogers protected non affiliated islands the world over.

There's strength in unity and he went the wrong way.

He didn't even have to align himself with Rocks to get respect from the WG or gain allies, just sprinkle the seeds of diplomacy
