[That slicing motion would get a considering look. In the worst case scenario, Dazai wouldn't be above amputating Q's hand or arm if that's where his command seals were. In fact, being a nullifier made him uniquely qualified for the job - Dogra Magra wasn't going to affect him, and removing a child's hand wasn't the worst thing he's done.
Of course, Bedivere's question made him recall everything else on that list, and he inclined his head at Fukuzawa. Yeah, this was a question bound to pop up sooner or later. Integrity wasn't ignorance.]
I'm not sure how it is for your typical mage, but most Ability users we've come across don't lead the best of lives. Abilities, you see, are seen as a tactical advantage for individuals and organizations. To that end, the Port Mafia doesn't have a minimum hiring age. Some kids join as a means of getting themselves and their families out of poverty. Others are recruited simply because it's hard to imagine the use of their Abilities outside of criminal activity.
As far as their boss' endgame is concerned, it will always have to do with keeping the Organization healthy - anything from ensuring loyalty from his subordinates, expanding his influence, and securing his business.
