[Eyes narrow in irritation, but then, she does have a point. Well whatever, he hardly cares what Law has to say on it, and if she doesn't care, he's not going to try to get her to, that would be ridiculous.]
[Still.... sorry Nami, he's lapsed back into silence. It's at that point where he's pretty sure anything he says is going to be snarky, even if he doesn't mean it to. Tch... dealing with pirates when arresting isn't an option is truly difficult. Talking with them is even harder than talking to normal people, and no one ever claimed Smoker was good at that either.]
[It's a pretty good while before he speaks up again, quiet and low.]
I doubt they care about their prisoners as a high commodity, but their ship and cargo are probably a higher price.
[It's not something he approves of obviously, nor something he agrees with. It is, however, unfortunately something the world government does with the marines on a regular basis. Killing pirates is widely considered more important than saving any lives, and the financial cost of battleships or pacifista weigh more on the brass' minds than the lives of marines. Or even civilians.]
