You're desperation will lead to your own downfall. Dumping waste into the ocean is a HUGE insult to Poseidon, and I doubt that she'll stay quiet about it. Given that she loves the mamono of the sea, chances are that she'll isolate the waste, have it evaporate into toxic clouds, and send it on its merry way to rain polluted water onto human settlements. You'll have screwed yourself and everyone around you, which will then lead to many people deserting you and your cause.

As for the POW's, it depends on what the prisoner is. A physically strong mamono like a minotaurus or a dragon would probably just break her bonds, grab the nearest guy that she likes, and run off, so you'd lose a valuable worker. A more magical mamono like a succubus or a witch would likely use charm spells to get her way with whoever's tasked with keeping an eye on her. Again, finding, raising or training people to have undying loyalty would be very difficult, given the nature of most humans.

About your comparison, I bring the police into the equation. If you threaten any of them with a knife, they'll retaliate by pulling out their gun, but they will NOT shoot unless it is absolutely necessary, unless you upset them to the point where they'll just fire.

Keep trying. ( =w=)/
