This is literally what you said earlier 😂
His actions in Dressrosa is what made this possible, again he's not an idiot who would risk losing his position on the spot because without it he can't really take action when the chances arrive, but he does what he can when he can.
So yes he was literally the mastermind behind the abolishment of the shichibukai, he conveyed to the world the evils of someone like Doflamingo and apologized to Riku live for the entire world to see. He then attends the Reverie and meets up with the two kings whom he contacted before and told them what to do.
Garp does not have wits to pull such things which is fine, he's still a legendary sailor who cleaned up the seas of all kinds pf scum, but when it comes to politics within the WG then Issho knows what he's doing and has the balls to back it up.
Yeah, Fuji’s a politician. He’ll step in when he sees an opportunity and use it to further his cause.
I’m just not giving him credit for being the great slave abolitionist because he saw the chance to let some slaves escape and helped. As far as we know, he isn’t openly agitating for slavery to be abolished, and he didn’t know that the RA was coming.
Basically, the guy is not Dragon. He still works for the World Gov. Whatever change he may be trying from the inside, it’s an slow process where the main figures have actually been pirates and revolutionaries. Fuji’s lended a helping hand, but he’s far from this radical Admiral figure.
Like, will it surprise anyone if Garp, while protecting the slaves at God’s Valley, also played the “oh whoops, they’ve escaped, go fuck yourself if you think I‘m hunting them down for you.”
That’s Garp’s character in a nutshell isn’t it lol? He’s a giant retard too stupid to care about anything outside of his own freedom. Fujitora joined the Marines to use his title to make a difference, Garp joined the Marines so the institution abusing slaves could guarantee him his own personal freedom. Lol
Fujitora’s ideals are not things he can accomplish over night, the man is playing the long game and sacrificing short term battles to ultimately win the war against the WG. Garp is sniffing his own poop sleeping well at night knowing his slave abusing bosses guarantee him freedom.
Garp joined the Marines because he wants to fight pirates. Much like Sakazuki.
Except unlike Sakazuki, he’s not a psychotic moron and he can actually tell that not all pirates are completely evil scum to wiped off the face of the earth.
Also unlike Sakazuki, he’s not the Gorosei’s personal bitch boy who hides behind a desk crying all day. He actually goes out and gets shit done when he wants to without listening to the commands of a bunch of inbreds.
Fujitora is playing the long game of knowing that Garp’s family will do the hard work for him. All he has to do is step in after the fact to thank his beloved Monkey D family for doing all the difficult stuff.
Garp‘s accomplished more good to the world by shagging Luffy‘s gran than every Admiral combined lol.
Sengoku spent his last year as FA shrieking with rage about Luffy and overseeing the rise of Blackbeard
Akainu’s a desk jockey now whose claim to fame is fights with pensioners on palliative care, teenagers and his own men
Kuzan ran away to be a pirate
Aramaki is just a joke
Kizaru‘s the Celestial Dragon‘s teaboy
