he said nobody should be intimidated cause he knew garp joining lowered the morale of his crew, and he praised sengoku's military genius not his personal strength but his brilliant mind
Still a difference. Dunno where you got the idea that WB was thinking highly of Garp in MF, he was actually talking down to him while respecting Sengoku.
- When he came he directly adressed Sengoku, not Garp.
- During the fight he repeatedly gave attention to Sengoku, not Garp.
- During his death speech he directed it towards Sengoku, not Garp.
WB at no point respected or gave attention to Garp as a worthy warrior.
Hell. Even Sengoku was treating Garp like his bottom bitch.
