In _One Piece_ , whenever strong people are executed, the executioners in
khaki getups are the ones to do it, even though they are much weaker than the
people the execute.

for eg:- At Marineford when Ace was getting executed, the executioners even
got injured by Crocodile and they still called extra executioners after this.
Why didn't Sengoku or anyone else do it? The new executioners weren't even
strong enough to stand against Luffy's haki.

question
one-piece
In One Piece, why do the navy call weak executioners to carry out executions?


For an example :

When Ace was being executed at Marineford, the Fleet Admiral, the 3 Admirals,
the Vice-Admirals etc. were placed at strategic locations for the upcoming war
with the Whitebeard Pirates. The Navy knew Whitebeard was gonna make a
fantastic entry into the battlefield(not HOW he would enter Marineford). So,
it was necessary for all the high-ranking Marines to be ever-ready for war.
Naturally, the task of executing Ace was given to the weaker Marines.

This policy is followed in all the Navy executions to be prepared for a fight
with the Criminal's NAKAMAS

## Nonsense?

This questions begs another: is power scaling in _One Piece_ nonsense? In
particular, in the navy?

I believe we can answer this by examining the character of Koby. At the
beginning of the series, he is a weakling. Yet, in a very short time, he
learns the same superhuman speed technique CP9 was using.

This in turn begs the question of why the rest of the navy doesn't at the very
least learn this technique. There are only two possible reasons as to why they
don't: the first is that it's kept secret and the second is that they're all
just too lazy to do the training. Both of these are nonsensical. The first
because the threat of the pirates is so dire that it would be an incredulous
thing for the higher-ups to not to be teaching this to everyone. The second is
nonsense because these are all men who volunteered to fight pirates. They're
dedicated to that cause, and so are the people training them. Granted, there
will be a few slackers, but it would be ridiculous if the majority of the
marines were too lazy to do training. We should definitely be seeing a lot
more navy soldiers using these techniques if Koby can learn it so quickly.
Even accounting for Garp being a great teacher or something, and Koby's
timetable being accelerated, the other navy soldiers have had years to hone
their skills, which should be plenty of time.

And yet, we rarely see marines using these techniques.

So yes, the power scaling in _One Piece_ is nonsense, and that's the reason
the executioners are so weak. I would argue the same thing for any series that
follows the [Sorting Algorithm of
Evil](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SortingAlgorithmOfEvil)
trope.

The world is inherently broken. That being said, we can still answer this
question with canonical information, which I will do in the following
sections.

## In General

They call the executioners to execute pirates because that's the executioners'
job. The executioners even wear special uniforms, so it's obvious they've been
separated from the rest of the marines for this function. It is also important
to note that it is _not_ the job of the highest ranking officers to execute
captured pirates.

What separates the navy and the pirates (in the navy's mind, at least) is that
they carry out justice in a fair and orderly manner. This includes using
executioners wearing the proper ceremonial attire and doing things by the
book.

The navy wants to project strength and reinforce the idea that they're the
good guys in the eyes of the whole world. To do that, it doesn't make sense to
have the admirals execute captured pirates. These are the pillars of justice
that everyone should look up to. Instead, the dirty job of execution should be
left to those specifically appointed to do it.

## Ace's Execution

In terms of strategy during White Beard's attack, it also doesn't make sense
to have the admirals execute Ace. Ace is completely subdued, so that's a job
that can be done by anyone with the arm strength to swing a halberd. The
admirals can instead participate in the battle and defend the scaffold so the
execution is not interrupted.

Additionally, it's bad optics for the admirals to do the job instead of the
people who are supposed to do it--in other words, by being unable to do things
the right way, it would be a sign that the World Government and justice
slipped up, which would stain their credibility.
