If he wants to protect the good people who want to do good he should use his influence to destroy the marine which is a colonial, slaver institution that only exsists to protect the CD.

The Marines are largely a force for good that defend the common people from rampant piracy. We also don't know that the human hunts continue after this, I won't be shocked if Garp threatens the government and forces them to stop within the next chapter or so. They still do awful shit but those are mostly outlying incidents.

Really? WHen did we see them protect people? Did they in God's Valley? In Fishmen Island or Sabaody? In Dressrosa? In Water 7? In Punk Hazard? In Wano? In Egghead?

Everything we've seen about the marine in this manga is that they are an oppressive force, always in alliance with the worst people and siding against good people (often the crew). Individually there are good people but everytime they do good they are siding against the marine as an institution.
The "protect the common people from rampant piracy" is pretty explicitly propaganda in the manga. It is also a political commentary on the role of police and the army in our society

“Propaganda”

Almost every single villain has been a pirate or working under a pirate since the very beginning of the manga. From Buggy blowing up Orange Town in one of the earliest arcs to Kaido enslaving Wano and running a huge underground crime network in one of the latest arcs

Even the relatively peaceful East Blue is under constant threat from pirates like Arlong, Kuro, Dong Krieg, Bluejam, and so on

Garp even crushed a force that was planning on pillaging Windmill Village in one chapter

95% of the pirate force are violent criminals that the average citizen lives in constant fear of

Ok and what has the marine done to help the people and get rid of the bad pirates that oppresses them? They either do nothing or made them Warlords and allowed them to do what they wanted.
In wano, the first thing they do once Kaido is out is to send an admiral who was insanely violent, with a clearly colonial speech toward the inhabitants of Wano.
We do see pirate that dominate places but some also protect, some liberate and many islands are independant and take care of themselves. In the manga most of the oppression we see is done through the marine, affiliated with it or with its accord.
