One Piece Reveals Why the Seven Warlords Were Disbanded

One Piece has now kicked off what seems to be the major battle of the Egghead arc, and the newest chapter of the series is filling in some of the gaps as to how we got to this point by revealing why the Seven Warlords system was done away with by the military! One of the biggest developments to come out of the Reverie arc was the fact that the World Government decided to dissolve the Seven Warlords system as they no longer needed this group of pirates to help keep the balance of the world's powers in check. Now we've gotten a concrete answer as to their replacement.

While we have seen some of the fallout of this decision as the former Seven Warlords were under attack by the Marines and other pirate crews seeking out their skills and power, the newest chapter of the series confirmed that because the Marines had developed the powerful new Seraphim weapons based on the Seven Warlords that they no longer needed the pirates themselves as they had a new power completely under their control. 

Why Did the Seven Warlords Get Dissolved? 

Chapter 1070 of One Piece continued the Seraphim's attack on the island as Sentomaru and Lucci fought over control of these weapons, and Dr. Vegapunk revealed that he was able to copy the powers of Paramythia types of Devil Fruit by copying the bloodline abilities and using an artificial blood to power the Seraphim weapons. He dubs them the "strongest form of humanity" and thus because of their creation, the Seven Warlords weren't needed anymore.

It's now a dangerous piece in play, but because there's a balance between who actually controls these weapons for now, there's still hope for Luffy and his crew against these new powers. But it goes to show that the Marines had been preparing to move on from their pacts in the past in order to somehow eliminate all the pirates in the seas someday. Now it's just a matter of seeing whether or not they are successful in this endeavor with Luffy and the others in their way.
