When he said "so sure, WB is going down" it was directed at docdan63 and he was being sarcastic. I think you would understand it better if he had just put a ? "so sure, WB is going down?" there that clears things up. Other than that Dbz is just being DBZ he may seem crazy but thats just his way. Anyway I think he is right. Moria is a coward, I doubt Donflamigo's power would work on WB and even so, so what, we've seen the straw hats beat enemies like that numerous times. We don't know anything about Jimbei so I won't comment on him and Kuma, well you never know what he is thinking. I think Mihawk is a wild card because we don't know for sure whose side he is on and then of course there is black beard.
Anyway none of that matters the fact is this. That is right he said the marine headquarters and the shichibukai exists just to counterbalance the power of the four emperors. So no matter what the hell you think of them and what their numbers maybe these four men are extremely power and in fact control half of the grand line and probably have since the time of Roger. That the marines haven't been able to make a move against them before this point should tell us alot. In fact I think the only reason they are even thinking of making a move is because Blackbeard left and Ace is out of the way. The Marines themselves are overrated, the fact that they couldn't even touch Roger and the only way they got to him was because he turned himself in proves it. Not to mention that they actually have to pay off other pirates to get them to do their dirty work for them, don't think that any of the shichibukai wouldn't turn against the marines if they think it'll be in their best interest. Shichibukai or not they are still pirates and I can tell you for sure that Blackbeard can't be trusted.
As things are now you can't say for sure whats going to happen but if the marines declare open war against Whitebeard, I think there are a lot of pirates in the world who would side with WB whether they like him or not. Plus the marines never can say for sure how other people would react, Dragon for example, if two world powers are fighting each other I'm sure he'll use that opportunity to make a move especially since he openly despises the marines and he has vested interests in the pirates.
The Marines are making a gamble here, which is why I think they are playing it safe and only going after WB and not attacking all the other emperors at least for now. The fact that Garp thinks it would be too dangerous for the marines if they have to take on both WB and Silvers at the same time shows how much of a risk the marines are taking.
