from Law (about needing to take down monsters to learn about history), taking it as proof that he's somehow not fighting for freedom or that

I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement

freedom of expression is not something important that has been sanctified ratified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (Article 19)

But that it is instead some nerdish pastime that no other character in One Piece or the real world is invested in (WG or otherwise) for obvious reasons of power, politics and freedom/repression.

But there are governments and organisations that regularly suppress this kind of expression (in One Piece and the real world--no surprise):

There are governments and organisations that fear the pursuit of knowledge:

Partial SBS: Volume 86: Pedro led the Nox expedition party who were chased by the government for searching for poneglyphs, thus they became the Nox Pirates. That's a story from about 15 years ago.

And even Cora talks to Law about

the meaning behind the Will of D. not being lost, BUT "living on in the dark shadows of history around the world" (it's not easily seen either).

Like, knowing history and access to history/knowledge is one of the main themes of the manga. And Big Mom is a monster. And the World Government is a repressive monolith. And this guy (guy?) 👇:

nuking places and people for not toeing the line, or for knowing too much; riddled with antipathy towards holders of the Will of D. and, with Artur's (Library of Ohara) claim (among others) that the ancient immense kingdom was formed by descendants of the D. clan (which is canon)—

It was through Imu though that we were given confirmation of what many of us suspected for a long while, being that this immense kingdom was formed by the members of what is now called the D. clan.

—then wouldn't you too be curious and more than a little pissed off that your curiosity could be the catalyst for persecution and genocide?

That searching for identity, roots...your reason for being, is not allowed? (Sound familiar?)

Like, those scholarly waters are nothing if not shark-infested.

Ultimately the pen (Robin's ability to read the poneglyphs, the scholars' meticulous research) probably will be mightier than the sword, and although bureaucracy can entrap, knowing how to read between the lines, or even to read them, can loosen the ties that bind, and help ensure they are not unfairly cast.

Keep fighting to study history, Law. I too want to know about the Will of D.

I know I’ve said it before but I will never get over the mom-ification of Robin in One Piece by the fandom because she is NOT the mom friend!!! She’s just the oldest woman in the crew she does not take responsibility over anyone she does not pack lunches she does not keep people from doing stupid stuff she encourages the stupid stuff! She is doing the stupid stuff! If anyone is the mom friend it’s SANJI that man might as well be buttoning the crews coats before they leave.

Imagine the batboys switching roles

It starts with Tim and Damian arguing and Tim says something like, “You wouldn’t last a day as Red Robin, demon brat” and of course Damian takes that as a challenge. So, they decide to swap alter egos for a night. Jason thinks it’s stupid, but Dick loves it, so he gets Jason to join with him. When the night comes, they all put on each other’s outfits,(with some size adjustments, of course), Damian as Red Robin, Tim as Robin, Jason as Nightwing, and Dick as Red Hood.

As expected, Tim and Damian hate it. Tim had a different relationship with Bruce as Robin, and hates being treated like Damian.(being treated like a kid) Damian doesn’t understand why Tim works with anyone he works with, Tim’s staff is too long for him, and his notes are so sloppy(from sleep deprivation)he can’t make any sense of them to work on cases. When the night is over, both of them are tired, and somehow hate each other even more. They both expect Dick and Jason to come back the same way.

Dick and Jason, however, loved it.

Dick loves being Red Hood. The armor makes him feel safe, guarded. Even if he gets shot or stabbed, it doesn’t hit him. The helmet is extremely efficient, and he never has to worry about his identity. He feels invincible. He uses the guns, but doesn’t kill anyone. Still, they make his work much easier and efficient. He feels strong, powerful, secure.

Jason loves being Nightwing. The ecrisma sticks that he used to think were dumb, now filled him excitement. Hearing criminals scream as they were electrocuted or the thunk of the stick landing on someone’s skull was as satisfying as shooting a gun. Even though he thinks it’s impractical, he loves the outfit, too. It’s thin, so when he jumps off of skyscrapers he can feel all the wind rushing against his skin. It makes him feel higher than any drug could make him. Now he get Dick’s love for jumping off high buildings. He feels light, strong, free.

Tim and Damian are shocked. They never expected the other two to have such a good time while they suffered. Of course, the peace couldn’t last forever. In the middle of Jason and Dick fangirling over each other, Tim leans over and whispers to Damian, “Told you ya couldn’t handle it”

Batman, over the phone: You uhh… You guys still there? Red Hood/Jason: Yeah no, we’re still here ummm can…Can you run that back again? There’s, there’s no way that we heard that right. Batman/Bruce: I want you to stay on the lookout for Skeletor. Red Hood: All right, ok, so we did, we did hear that right it was just fucking dumb. Nightwing/Dick: Bruce I think you might need to clarify more cause that seems like you’re just saying that as a turn of phrase. Are we hunting for Doctor Destiny or what? Batman: Listen this is all I know, you’re looking for a large man with a skull for a head, in a suit that is covered in bones, who is wearing a cape, with a voice that sounds like two chalkboards trying to kill each other. Red Hood: Ok, that does sound a lot like Skeletor. Nightwing: Does he have like a name of any kind or does he literally go by Skeletor? Batman: Alright so there’s the thing, I’m gonna be honest with you Dick, I got so annoyed at his voice that I started blocking things out. I don’t remember exactly what his name was, it was Lord Something-or-Other I don’t… Robin/Damian: Lord Death Man. Batman: Wait hold on a second, what? Robin: The guy, his name is Lord Death Man. Batman: Oh, sweet. Good Job. How did you remember that? Robin: He’s my girlfriend’s boss. Batman: Oh ok cool… WHAT?! Nightwing: Bruce? Bruce you there? Bruuucccee? Red Hood: Dick? Nightwing: BRUCE! And I think he hung up on us. We need to teach him how to hangup the phone like a proper human being. Red Hood: Dick. Nightwing: Like he’s been hanging up the phone like he’s in a movie since I was a god damn Robin. I mean you’d think living in a house with the most polite person on the planet he’d learn to hang up the phone like a normal human being… Red Hood: DICK!   Nightwing: What! Red Hood, nodding his head towards something off screen. Nightwing: What are you looking at? *camera pans to Lord Death Man crouched behind an object, ineffectuality attempting to hide* Nightwing, whispering: What the fuck is he doing? Red Hood, whispering back: I think he thinks we can’t see him. Nightwing, still semi-whispering: He’s just crouching there. He’s not even hiding that well. Why would we not be able to see him? Red Hood: Hey! LDM, looks around. Red Hood: Yeah you. Buddy! LDM, stands slowly: Yes? Red Hood: You Skeletor? LDM: N..no. Red Hood: Okay. Who, uhh… Who are you then? LDM: L..Larry. Red Hood, quietly to Nightwing: This motherfucker just say Larry? Nightwing: What’s your uhh… What’s your deal man? LDM: I am to be Batman’s nNemisis for I can not DIE! *Red Hood immediately shoots LDM in the head* Nightwing: HOLY SHIT JASON WHAT THE FUCK MAN? Red Hood, casually: What, you heard him. He said he couldn’t die. Nightwing: And you just took him on his word for that!? Red Hood: Dude’s dressed as skeletons usually only have one type of power, come on. Nightwing: He better start fucking breathing. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Come on, come on. LDM: *gasps back to life* Nightwing: Oh thank fuck! LDM: You SHOT ME! Red Hood: Oh my god your voice somehow got worse. Nightwing: Hey Jack Skellington, you still all there? LDM:  I still have all my memories, yes. Like all the Pokemon and their evolutions. *Red Hood shoots LDM in the head again* Nightwing: JASON WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT! Why did you even do that?! Red Hood, deadpan at the camera: I absolutely hate forced reference jokes because they are extremely lazy and they piss me the fuck off. Nightwing, quietly as an aside: I wouldn’t do that. People got real mad when Batman did that last time. Red Hood: I’m wearing a beanie and he’s in shorts. What the fuck do you want me to do? Nightwing: Alright that’s a fair point. LDM, wheezing back to life: I thought it was funny. *Red Hood instantly shoots him again* Nightwing: DUDE! Red Hood: Alright, I’m done.
