[Erza is affected by this, and her thoughts will be in red.]

With all of the new people that were brought here in the past month, has anybody seen any new arrivals claiming to be members of the Fairy Tail guild?

I hope Gerard didn't show up... I still don't know what I would say to him if I met him here...

Also, I'm opening a branch of Fairy Tail here; it will give me something to do with my free time.  And it will help me meet new people, hopefully.  If you have any questions about the work we do, or any jobs that need done, feel free to ask over the journal.  I haven't came up with any sort of reward system yet, seeing as this place has no money, so in the meantime, any tasks you have will be done for free, if I consider them acceptable.  I'm not going to give out where I live just yet; there have been too many murders and kidnappings lately.

Damn. Looks like I'll have to explain. Even if I didn't, this though thing would do it for me.

Tenryuubito are a special type of royalty in my world. No one holds them any particular love, but the government owes them ... something, so attacking one calls in an admiral to get rid of the idiot foolish enough to do something that insane.

A shichibukai is a legalized pirate, the government tries to use them to keep other pirates in check with their strength. It's pure idiocy since they all only follow their own agenda, just biding their time to turn on the government when possible.

And exactly. The Straw-Hats are just that insane. The fact that they've dealt with shichibukai and admirals an still managed to surprise only proves how dangerous they are.

Why are the Tenryuubito disliked by everyone but the government?

And why would the government hire criminals to work for them, if they're planning on betraying the government in the first place?

Because they do whatever they want. Some people are jealous, some people just hate them. Same reasons people tend to hate the pirate emperors without meeting them.

Because the idiots up the chain of command are arrogant jackasses who think they can control them with money, and they don't listen to common sense.

And like it or not, they're desperate. Not enough marines, too many pirates, and Dragon's Revolution is starting to corner them into a wall.

Your world sounds fairly chaotic. I suppose that's where the government is supposed to come in, but if they've turned to hiring pirates and are dealing with a revolution, they don't sound overly concerned with the welfare of anyone else.

Smart girl.

Correct. By no means is the World Government doing their job perfectly, nor even the way they should be necessarily. But there isn't anyone else to deal with the pirates. Even when the countries retain enough autonomy to have their own armies, pirates recognize no bounds. They sail on oceans un-policed by individual countries and that only leaves the marines to deal with them. Dragon's Revolution is specifically trying to overthrow the World Government so they have no choice, but to deal with that on top of the pirates.
