I disagree on the whole its supposed to work like the real world. What matters most is the world having internal sense not does it translate to our world.
But that's really the same thing. When speaking of real world concepts applied to a fictional environment than we expect internal sense because that's the idea we are familar with and can understand. If it lacks internal sense then the reason we as audience are thrown off by it, is because that's not something easily relatable by us, as it lacks real world counterparts/experience.
I dont think they are the same thing at all. Like my issue with something like not burning the Ohara books is that burning so much land because they lived is inconsistent with leaving books they privately owned. Not that books used to be burned in real life so it should happen in this story to.
But that's exactly what I'm saying. Books being burned in real life is not the issue. The issue is that in real life you would either destroy or confiscate the material archeoligists you consider having conducted world threatening research protected at the cost of their life. If you get thrown off by it, it's because it makes no plausible sense. And for you to consider that it makes no plausible sense you would have to have a basic understanding of what makes plausible sense. And this you didn't develop in One Piece, you were already carrying it in you because it's based on your understanding of the world you live in.
Even if you consciously feel like the real world doesn't matter, subconsciously you feel the exact opposite. That's why this scene throws you off. Ever heard people saying things like "I don't know what it is, but I didn't really like this movie/episode/chapter"? That's mostly because on a subconscious level they are thrown off by something that on a cobscious level they don't even realize they notice and/or care about. That creates the situation which Mr. Plinkett would discribe as "you might not have realized it, but your brain did."
Even if we would want to have it another way, we cannot escape the hold the real world has over us when we approach fictional universes.
but its not something that need a lengthy discussion. So lets just split the difference say I that I dont usually think on how events/system compare to our real world counterparts while you do.
I would rather say it does not need a lenghty discussion because we don't actually disagree. Rather it's a matter of me not having well explenained what I say, when I use a term like "the real world", which then seems to be leading to confusion.
