    I guess Arlong's new revolutionary ambitions didn't quite mesh with his previously established role as some asshole shaking down a hapless backwater village for protection money

    Also, an unrelated note- what did he need the Grand Line map for? He's from there thinking-about-it Same goes for Buggy who's already been there. I know they just used the map as a way to tie the first season together and it's not a massive deal, but still

        Without going back to the manga to check I don't remember the map as important in it. They needed one to get up the mountain but it wasn't this larger overarching plot element. Not saying it's bad or anything, much like with the Garp thing they probably did it to give the first season some structure so it wasn't just "Luffy and co. bumble from one island to the next and beat up random bad guys"
