Here's an interesting question now that Luffy had finally escaped....

Does the Shibukai work with the government? I would assume so as they are pirates keeping pirates in check. Now that Luffy has declared was on the World Government, would the 7 Shibukai's be after Luffy's crew as well?

Luffy could certainly apply for the Shibukai for his tenacity and power on the ocean, but they've already declared war on the government, and they carry Nico Robin and Frankie, who can resurrect the weapons. And no way would the Government allow the to roam free.

I hope Whitebeard and Red Hair Shanks aren't affiliated with the Shibukai. If not we're in for one hell of a batlle to come!

(Sorry if I double posted in the Anime section as well) :P
