It can be. The second half, though ... you don't make it that far unless you're really strong-- and we're not the only pirates out there. So you've got a whole bunch of other pirate crews who've fought their way there just like us, who are strong as us, who we'll probably be in direct competition with eventually-- and the marines concentrate most of their heavy forces there to deal with so many strong people, too. And the weather is something else-- everything's so crazy. I needed to learn how to navigate in storms I'd never even heard of before.
So we took time to get stronger. [Leaving out why it happened, just how easily they lost at Sabaody that first time, Luffy losing Ace...] It's not as horrifying as it sounds-- the ocean's a huge place. But it's better to be prepared for the worst.
