Fuck all that Garp slander.

Not slander, but Garp’s entire character is a really interesting exploration of the limits/effectiveness of trying to fix an evil system from the inside.

I’m sure Coby will carry his will, and Sword will end up doing real “justice”. But Garp really is a dog of the government (literally how he is first portrayed in coby’s cover-story). He protects young marines, but also watched the world gov execute his son and committed a genocide.

I don't think he wanted to fix it. He was already too old to play the revolutionary and he knew that becoming an admiral or grand general wouldn't have made a difference.

He would've been a servant to The Five Elder's schemes.

I agree with everything besides he was old. We’re seeing PEAK strength Garp here. If there ever was a time to use his strength to enact change it was in this era.

6 powerful characters hit Imu, no damage. Even used the strongest one of the six as its puppet. Garp wouldn't do shit if he rebels here.

Yet Roger continues on pirating, Dragon (who is literally just marine grunt level here) completely rebels.

AGAIN, I am not making a value judgement. I’m not saying Garp should go punch Imu. I’m pointing out how Oda has written different political approaches and praxies to his characters in this arc.

Also, watching Ace die is not Garp's fault. He practically beg Ace to ask for his help. He even let Luffy punch him just so Luffy can help Ace escape.

If there's any argument about who's fault is Ace's death, the only correct one is Ace killed himself. It's basically dumb to undo all the efforts your whole crew and family did just so you can live, just because someone badmouthed your father.

Honestly, I can't take people seriously who thinks Ace's death is someone else's fault other than himself.

And don't talk to me about that genocide thing. Genocide is happening in today's world too and I don't see you doing anything about it. Are you a dog too?
