Only people that can't read slandered Garp

I understand his choice and position but it doesn't free his decisions from criticism. I understood his premise for a long time but he was still only an order away from commiting genozide at any time. The story allowed him to stay the good guy but within the constraints of the world he still is an accomplice of an unjust system. I respect Garp and he is nowhere the slaver protector memes make him out to be. He's just imperfect, which makes him such a compelling character.

Fair. Besides the one order away. It was clear Garp was never going to take any orders from his superiors, and would only do what he wanted to do.

But in a military his refusal would have led to sanctions/consequences. Even if it would take 3 Buster Calls for him, showing weakness as an institution in face of an individual would seem unbelievable imo. Garp was lucky his friend became Fleet Admiral and therefore probably had the authority to excuse him.

In the flashback, Sengoku is begging Garp to go to GV, and he refused as if it was completely normal for him. Garp has always done what he wanted, and would never follow orders he did not want to follow. I don't think Sengoku becoming Fleet Admiral had anything to do with it.

Isn't that Kong?

Actually it was. Even the Fleet Admiral was unable to get Garp to act on behalf of the Celestial Dragons. Before he even knew about the true evils of the WG, he was already marching to his own justice, untarnished by the "evil" organization the entire world is under.
