The Straw Hats are in some bubble island. And for some reason the marines shot a slave! What the heck seriously? I really hate those guys.

The World Government of One Piece is corrupt enough for them to do whatever they want. I wouldn't call them "corrupt" anyways, that's how the World Goverment always was. They're just powerful enough to do as they please.

Edit: Note, I'm talking about the heads of the World Government and not the actual countries that make it up.

Not really, the One Piece world has conveyed many instances where a social compact was in act.

Yes, there is a social compact, but it doesn't apply to everyone. The Five Elders are the head of the World Government, which means the're the head of the world (no particular country or area, the entire world). They rule above everyone, so there's nothing that can send any of the five to prison. The World Nobles/Celestial Dragons are next under them, and we've seen how they can kill whoever whenever they want without facing any consequences, which is why I said they do as they please.

Celestial Dragons
They can order the creation of a bridge to connect to every island for no other reason than simply they wanted to, as well as make any commoner they want into a slave of theirs right off the street. They are also completely immune to any form of Justice, as seen where they are allowed to kill anyone that simply crosses their path.
