What Makes The Gorosei Obliged To Serve IM
I'm not entirely sure how much autonomy IM has. The gorosei had already made the decision that there would be a cleansing even prior to meeting IM. And the way she walks about the castle, veiled, seemingly kept away from everyone except for a servant and the gorosei, her existence kept hidden, I'd have to ask whether her secluded, secret nature is her decision or not.
Basically, I'm not ruling out im being a vital figurehead for the gorosei, who are still mostly running everything. I mean, in japanese history that's a rather common situation with the emperor and then the politicians below. Emperor was still "Officially" in charge, but the reality is more murky. But even with that I still think that im is very involved in whatever happened during the void century to wipe the ancient kingdom off the face of history. And given the crown and the throne, that's pointing to both factors being involved in the gorosei, at the face of things, being subservient to her.
As we've known for years, the gorosei control the world through the navy, and evidenced by shanks meeting they might even control the pirate world, but now to know that they serve a single king is quite a shock. So to jump into topic
What qualities does IM have that qualifies him as leader of the world?
1. Is it physical prowess?
2. Personal control of an ancient weapon?
3. Simply bloodline
4. Something else?

Could Shanks Be World Government's Ultimate Spy?
Now I barely read or write one piece "Theories" because lets be real, majority of the times they turn out to be straight up wrong, but this time I really feel like its possible due to context provided to use through out the one piece manga. Above all else, this panel by far caught me off guard, and I was like "Whoa, what in the hell just happened??!!!"
I was just thinking why are "Pirate Hating" World Government allowing
one of, if not the most, notorious Pirates in the World inside the place
treated as a sacred temple of World Government. Why is it that Gorosei
are not reacting more abruptly, why aren't they in a mode of turbulence,
how can Shanks just walk in?
Well after initial shock, things kinda started getting in place. First thing that I thought about was this dialogue from Sengoku when Shanks showed up at Marine Ford to "Stop the war"
Why is it that Sengoku who should be proud of Navy's victory and used Whitebeard's and Ace's bodies are victory trophies just give in to Shanks' demands? Now a lot of Yonkou fans obviously have their own interpretation of it "Oh Sengoku was scared of Shanks so he just let him do it" but even when I was done watching Marine Ford (When I was a casual fans), I was thinking Marines just annihilated Whitebeard Pirates and all their top dogs are still fine so it definitely not the fear of Shanks that is stopping them. But I didn't think much then, I just reached the conclusion that Sengoku simply respects Shanks' diplomatic and peaceful nature despite being a Pirate. But after the latest chapter, I feel (and I could obviously be completely wrong), is that it is partly true that yes Navy as well as world government does respect Shanks' philosophy of peace, but mainly because Shanks is working with or for the World Government.
But why is someone who prides his Freedom work for World Government?
Well to answer that question, I will first talk about the fact that my perspective on World Government has changed after the latest chapter. I used to think, while the Marines, just like Pirates have both good and evil, World Government in itself is to its very core EVIL and it was mostly because of what we knew about Celestial Dragons. But then we saw this.
It really speaks to the uniqueness of One Piece as no one side is try evil or good, its not Black and Whitebeard but rather Shades of Grey in all factions in OP World. There are good pirates like Luffy and there are evil pirates like Doflamingo, there are good Marines like Fujitora and there are evil Marines like Akainu (Akainu isn't really that evil tbh, I can make a big ass post about him making him low key look like a saint and major lee hung would appreciate it, but just bare with me here, its pretty late and I needed a example) and there are Good Celestials like Mjosgard and there are bad Celestials like well every other Celestial we saw on panel.
Anyways I went on a bit of a tangent tangent there, the point I was trying to make is that World Government is not all evil, but that still doesn't explain why Shanks would ally with them. Well if go one step further and look at it from real life perspective, there has been through out history some supposed renegade organization, from the top of my head say "Black Panther" back in 80s, who have arguably done more good than bad, while there have been corrupt governments, Government officials are still generally looked at the ones responsible for maintaining Peace and Protecting Citizens.
Shanks to me comes off as a Man, wanting Ultimate Peace and someone who hates unnecessary blood shed. That is why he took all the insults from Higuma (Well besides the fact that he wasn't worth killing), only to get one of his soldiers killed when it was absolutely necessary. That is why despite it not being his business, he took the trouble of going to Whitebeard's ship and warned him about Blackbeard and pleaded him to stop Ace.
I think Shanks has allied government so that he could warn them in the case of turbulence from the pirate, being that he himself is the one and has inside knowledge. In return I think World Government sort of treats him like they treat Warlords and let him do his thing without bothering him much as they know he is not someone who will go around killing or looting innocents.
Now I am not saying Shanks is definitely working under World Government like Mihawk is (Who has his own reasons not as noble as Shanks of course), he could just be working with them as an equal.
Well damn I typed a lot and most it it could be nonsense you but if you have gotten this far thanks l
