However, this peculiarity that they shared the original Shichibukai were named after animalshad a deeper meaning, since represented their status as “pawns” of the World Government, being seen by these individuals as simple animals. This is a very interesting detail with a double meaning that Oda showed through this pirate organization.
Likewise, while these animal names could represent the Shichibukai’s obedience to the World Government, from their perspective, they also imply that they are not perfect tools, as many of these pirates They could never be controlled by this organizationsince they always went against them, challenging them at all times, despite being at their disposal, which clearly indicates that These “pawns” never bowed before the World Nobles.
Notably The World Government from the beginning created this group with an animal themethis being a double meaning detail that Oda used insightfully to represent this organization, since They were “pawns” of the World Nobleswho have been characterized by dominating and enslaving others, since they tend to see them as inferior.
