[Nah, Marco does get it, because his loyalty to Whitebeard is that extreme and then some but...]

Then you're doing her a disservice.

If you only let yourself be a tool, she won't be strong enough to be the best. If you only attribute everything to her and nothing to yourself, she didn't do anything in the end. Anyone can use a tool. Saving a life means a lot more. Living is more than survival, never forget.

If you aren't thinking for yourself, if you're just letting yourself be a lazy pawn, you're actually hurting her, because she can't grow stronger from that, and she'll never be the best she could be either. It doesn't matter how you rationalize it, that's the truth.

I got lazy with Grell. She's so strong, so immortal, I didn't do anything but follow her orders and be her backup. And despite all her enemies, I didn't pay attention either, because I just knew she could handle them, or I'd deal with it when it came up. Look at where that got me now. She trusted me to think independently, to be more than her equal and I'm failing her.

It's never enough to take orders. That's just you being scared. Get stronger, or else you're hurting Cinders too.
