I don't think the nobels are in any real position of power in terms of government. I think its more like the royal family in England. They're just figureheads that hold no real governmental power but quite a bit of influence.Originally Posted by Kraco
you will probly find the nobles have access to a legendary weapon or some such thus forcing the world government to protect them lest they reveal/use the plans.
Also im pretty sure at some point in the future there will be anoble introduced that has extraordinady powers, perhaps even sengoku himself is a noble? It goes against shonen rules to have a guy at the top of the food chain who isnt insanely strong!
Yeah I always get those the names for those two confused for some reason and I didn't look it up.

Well, information is power and the fact that these guys know all about the history of the world government should grant them quite a bit of it
Remember an whole island was destroyed so that same information wasn't leaked
How many seconds would it take for that snotty one to spill out all of his secrets if tied to the rack? I don't think too many. The dead don't tell any tales, men with false bravado too many. It's a clear security risk if people like that know much yet still wander around killing and maiming people. Though I suppose it could be that a few of the nobles, the genuinely powerful ones, know the things and keep all these pests in power as well - for whatever reasons of their own. Maybe simply because of a culture of decadence; you can't have parties unless you have enough guests.
I think it's not really up to the Admiral's. Remember that the Admiral's are all still just the military and they all take orders from the Fleet Admiral. And he takes orders from the Five Elder Stars. And they seem interested in maintaining the status-quo.
The father doesn't seem nearly as idiotic as his son, so i wouldn't be surprised that he had some kind of system that if he was to meet an unfortunate end the truth would reach the public or something like that.
Then again if you just simply look at past history you'd be surprised at the amount of time the nobility was able to maintain its power long after it had served its purpose.
World Nobles probably control the wealth/money of the World Government. Money=Power, right? I doubt the Nobles themselves are physically powerful, but they probably keep the Marines in line by controlling their wallets.
Where did all this "world nobles know the secret history" stuff come from, anyway? I doubt they have any leverage against the government except for preferential treatment as figureheads.

They're direct descendants of the ones who created it are they not?
If they don't know about it then who will?
Either way, it was just a theory as to why they hold so much power over the government
If by direct you mean by like, 500 years or so then yeah.

So? You don't think there's people who know there families history from 500 years ago?
Especially if every generation the father sits the son down and goes, "Okay, I'm about to tell you some Illuminati type shit my grandfather did and you better pay attention because the entire world is built on this stuff."
If every father is as powerful as Chalros', every son has a reason to believe him.
