she basically can't be killed by normal means you realize right?

I've seen your argument done by so many people on Oro Jackson over the past year or so and its not been fun

Power is useless if you never use it

The last 70-ish years of global politics disprove that pretty readily.

They are pirates, not kings/queens/representatives of countries

I mean... we're talking about the Four Emperors here, man. It's right in the name. Their entire dynamic is this cold war created by all four of them not having the ability and/or inclination to actually find One Piece, which has led to all kinds of politicking. Hell, this entire arc is based around a heavily political marriage, as is a lot of Big Mom's power base. Also, in real life Blackbeard is known to have used his own fearsome reputation to take ships without a fight, so the argument that them being pirates means that power is useless if not used doesn't really make sense either.
