Character Discussion Garp: The potential of Youth is limitless…unless you’re a filthy pirate, Ace

[ImmaIvanoM]

Fucking hypocrite

How can you expect potential from a criminal?

Criminals potential is to get even worse.

Garp is right

Except this youth aren't a group of outlaws. Ace is an adult who made the decision to become a pirate even though his grandfather is a marine. Even then Garp was sandbagging it in Marineford and allowed Luffy to pass through to Ace.

Sadly, Ace was an idiot and decided to fight Akainu after everyone worked so hard to free him.

 

[NikaInParis]

Garp was right

 

[JoNdule]

People should stop excusing Garp's actions

He was wrong to not even try free Ace or protect him once

Don't weep for idiots you will cry all day
It's called natural selection... idiots die first

 

[Midnight Delight]

I sometimes wonder if people here realise the implications of Garp betraying the marines for Ace, especially after Sengoku revealed he's Roger's son. The hero of the Marines would demoralise ALL marines, besides maybe Akainu and cause havoc all across the world.

He clearly wanted Ace to become an "exception" just like him, if he's allowed in the marines while publicly calling himself a D. Ace likely would have been accepted if he rose into power and gained enough fame that Him being Roger's son would only be seen as him "redeeming" his bloodline.

 

[grey matter]

Given the situation, Garp did all he could by not partaking in the marineford battle, and by instinctively letting Luffy get past him.

Ace was a retard and wasted all the effort his allies put in to save his ass. Not Garp's fault.

It was Ace choice to be Pirate and like every choice you it has consequences.
Garp is THE Marine who upholds justice even if he is his grandson he has his duty, if he was trying everything to save criminal because he was his family he would be a hypocrite and the world would thing he is another corrupt Marine/High Officile that uses his power to keep his relatives out of punishment

 

[Mackiss]

Ace actually had 0 potential even in piracy

He peaked as a Donut

ace was a terrorist simple has that. garp is a hero, him saving ace would affect the moral of the marines and he would become something he spent his whole life fighting against.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

The marines were afraid of Ace’s potential

This

 

[MarineHQ]

Yes Ace would've used that youth to become the greatest criminal out there while Koby will dedicate his life putting such criminals in a cell.

I see no issues here.

 

[AmiralTensei]

Ace chose to live as a filthy Criminal and died because of his stupidity. Garp did everything right and Ace fanboys need to Cope.
