** Smoker keeps Tashigi away from the truth of the corruption of the Marines and the World Government as well as his own opinion that perhaps it is too deep-rooted to be saved because he fears her faith in the Marines won't just crack but break and make her go full revolutionary.


Added DiffLines:

* ResignationsNotAccepted: If an individual Marine has a Devil Fruit and/or the rank of Captain or higher, quitting isn't that simple. Devil Fruits are an important source of power and high-ranking Marines often know secrets the top brass don't want leaking out. The best they'll get is retiring to a pre-approved Island. Otherwise, they just get reassigned doing things that don't involve going to the front lines.


Added DiffLines:

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: Amy asks Smoker why he doesn't just quit the Marines given his reservation about the corruption in it, and he explains that he ''can't''. He has a Devil Fruit and he knows secrets. If he wants to quit, he either has to go to a pre-approved Island or take up an assignment away from the front lines. Trying to leave anyway will result in a bounty on his head.
