let's talk about THE HERO OF MARINE ... and why he is THE HERO OF THE WORLD
here I want to say why Garp is one of the greatest character that Oda created in any possible way
let's count down the reasons why Garp is the most true hero
let's list the easy ones first .... the basic things we need form a hero and some next level personality
1- Garp is one of most courageous
- fought the most unfair wars and never back down from a fight
2- Garp is strong, as strong as his enemies come
easily top 5 of all times
but ever greater than that ... he is not defined by his powers but his personality
3- Garp have great achievements
I think wining the greatest war known to world and fighting the king of pirates many times is enough for any man ever
4- Garp is a illustrious fighter
every person in the one piece world should know his name
5- he is a great role model
like all the good heroes in the fiction Garp is a role model
not only to main character but many Marines
let people take a moment and understand , both pirates and Marine can take notes from his man
6- His godly blood line
like all heroes he have a blood line of greatest quality
I think it's safe to assume as of now no one have a better blood line than Monkey family
6- He don't respect royalty
he really don't respect any man cause of their rank and blood line or even power
he only respect people with high personality even if that person be his own enemy
7- he don't like a shiny title to be effective
he is the freest Marine maybe ever he don't want high rank
he is a freedom fighter
just like Dragon
just like Luffy
he fight to free people from Pirates evil and that's all that matter for him, Garp is the honer of Vice Admiral rank
8- Garp understand greater good and act for what is good for others (part 1)
willing to save the innocent
with all the risk in the world he was willing to take care of his arch enemy as his own grand son
it take a great man to risk his job and life just to save the life of a innocent child
it's safe to say he did everything he could to raise ace right
(not to mention he was willing to ally himself with a Pirate ... another proof for his massive understanding of greater good)
9- Garp understand greater good and act for what is good for others (part 2)
he put his job over his family
an impossible call
Garp loved Ace like his own
it's not like he loved Luffy more
but cause Ace chose the most wrong way he didn't stood in the way of his death
he didn't want that and yet do it
it's take a great man to fight enemy
it take greater man to fight friend
it's close to improbable to fight family
but Garp goal is to do what is best for the world
he knows Ace cause create world class chaos
no matter how much you like Ace
for the people of one piece world his death was a good option and Garp understood that
10- Garp understand greater good and act for what is good for others (part 3)
he serve evil to stop greatest evil
people even dare to say Garp is a bad person cause he work for world government
but what is the alternative to world government ? have you ever asked yourself that?
sure world government kill innocent people
sure world government did some evil shit
sure world government have slaves
sure world government take too much tax
sure world government don't give a shit about many people
but let's compare the world under world government to world under a Pirate like Kaido
- endless blood
- people life have no value
- he kill his own people
- only power matter
- all people are slave in worst ways
world government is a evil force who at very least have a good public face and 90% of people under it have a good life or at least normal life
but if some one like Kaido was in control ... the 100% of people were fucked
Kaido is a evil force who is openly evil and hold back in nothing
and Marine is THE ONLY THING that stand between a world ruled by pirates and normal world
so Garp had 2 option
- serve world government
- let the world be ruled by likes of Kaido and Teach and Big Mom and Rocks and Shiki
and make no mistake , world government is 10 time better than those people
world government is much much better than a world in chaos or a world ruled by pirates so Garp fight FOR THEM while he know they are evil themselves
and I would say even some one like Akainu is not evil himself
but unlike Akainu
Garp don't hide his hate from world government and world government don't dare to pick on him for all of that
11- Garp understand greater good and act for what is good for others (part 4)
world gonna change cause of him
now ... Dragon after 900 years might give us a new alternative but Garp SURLY didn't had that
in fact ...
most likely Dragon have that alternative cause Garp teach him like that
don't forget ... Garp named Dragon, Dragon for a REASON
while Garp did a great number to save the world ... as he did in front of Xebec .... Dragon and Luffy are the people who will change the world in much higher level
and both of them are schooled by Garp in terms of personality
Garp is the ultimate hero
a man to save people form evil
with iconic personality
capable of making hard calls
and win every fight
he need far more respect not for his powers , but his personality
