They're probubly only sanctioned by the gov for the simple reason that the gov would rather have them on their side than have to fight them. Cause if they're as powerful as I think they are, the marines would get wiped out very easily. Heck, Milhawk did a perty good job totally F'ing up that one guy's entire fleet. Of course Luffy totally kicked his *** sky high, so I guess what Milhawk did was just warmup for the main event. ^_^;;
