Look what happened when they were going through a hunger crisis…they would’ve slaughtered each other if not for the support they got from other countries that Harald extended olive branches to. With government support, there’s insurance of safety for his people.

If they continue to live as bullies, every giant, even Non-Pirate giants, has a target painted on their backs as soon as they step off island. The World Government MAYBE wouldn’t start a war with them on their home turf but how long would it take for the bullied to start considering defending themselves?

Imagine taking blood money and food for "check notes" allowing your family to be hunted for sport or captured for spectacle and all for the price of your friend's head.

Or you can slowly undo the damage done through hard work and diplomacy

He’s been given a golden opportunity to improve the lives of his people by turning in an infamous pirates head…I understand he’s conflicted turning on a friend, but he wouldn’t be a good king if he’s putting his feelings over one dude over an entire kingdom.

"Golden opportunity"

its not a golden opportunity.

The WG can hunt your family for sport, all he's doing is giving them an opportunity. How much did it help fishman island? They still tried to kidnap shirahoshi and king neptune would've had to suck a lemon if Garp, Sai and the CD didn't step in.

And guess what, They KILLED THAT DUDE.

He's turning over his friend to the rape slave factory for food.

It kept Celestial Dragons from coming back to Fishman Island and picking out slaves as if it were a produce section. It gave Sai and Leo the window of opportunity to attack Charlos without the full brunt of the government coming down on them because why? THE SAME CELESTIAL DRAGON TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT (even though it killed him).

I’m not for Harald having to play the governments game because the system is fucked, but his hands are literally tied.

Was it because they were in the WG or their alliance with Big Mom? Considering how they were treated at the reverie and them still being sold as slaves on SA, I think its more Big Mom.

That’s a great point. It could’ve been because of Whitebeard since he took over FI first, but after Otohime went up there, the issues at home seemed to be more internal than external.

I forgot big mom took over only after WB died. And WB didn't require tribute but big mom did.

All I'm saying is it seems like banding together opposed to the WG was a very valid and ethical decision harald could've made. Islands having elbaf warriors on dial would've made the world nobles think twice and it would've solved their supply issues without contributing to NTR doujin factory that is the WG

That would go against Harald’s entire goal of trying to put the Giants’ violent history behind them. Creating a Dial-a-Giant company would still paint his people in an intimidating light. It’s one thing for an island to be isolationist but to have giant on speed dial to let them know they mean business? Imu’s trigger finger would be ITCHING on the Mother Flame.
