I think Shanks' rat status can officially be revoked, he was seemingly double agenting as a God's Knight and helped Fischer Tiger escape.
For some reason seeing the way Harald has lowered himself to become a dog of the World Government really reminded me of the movie Sinners and its metaphors for the sublimation into the ruling class. Harald tore out his horns for a more human like appearance and is still only a part of the ruling class conditionally. And it really feels like since Rocks died there is a level of desperation to Harald's actions, maybe because he doesn't see any other options left.
I think Shanks' rat status has just been made official in a roundabout way as he was a rat to the government, which is really funny.
Yeah, it does remind me of sinners a lot, especially that Harald looks even more monstrous without his horns now that he's exclusively just wiping out pirates.
But also, it's still his fault for trusting the world government. It really shows how Harald's class character informs a lot of his decision making as his "rational" decisions are driven by his desire for law and order politics while his "irrational" decisions are driven by his anger and inner sense of justice that was taught to him by Ida (jumping that slaver ship and giving shelter to Rocks after seeing Mariegeoisie).
