Questions & Mysteries Why did Garp receive all the credit and not Garling?

#1
I understand why the World Government would want to deny Roger's contribution in the battle against Rocks, but why did they also stay silent about Garling's? Is it beneath him to get good news coverage, because he doesn't care what the public thinks about him? Was he defeated in an embarrassing way, perhaps by Whitebeard? Is the Holy Knight's existence a secret?

At this point Garp was already a well known figure, this just submitted his legacy also the hunting games was meant to be kept a secret telling the world that oh by the way one of our holy knights was there too that would raise some red flags

He fathered the World's Second Strongest Swordman (WSSS)
So? He didn't raise him, he didn't train him he taught him nothing Shanks got strong from his time with Roger Doffy was relatively powerful, his dad was homing, big mom became a yonko her parents where randoms that ditched her big ass to a child trafficker, mihawks parents probably aren't all that impressive either, also its not even confirmed he's Shanks dad

If he is being a papa doesn't = being strong

If he actually does something at least quite relevant powerwise, like it seems it will happen, I guess Oda will come up with some lame excuse like "he was only known among the CDs as a hero, lower classes don't need and deserve to know about this CD hero" "the holy knights are a secret corp" and so on. But what really matters is that us readers were kept in the dark until this Garlic revelation and so Oda will have to retcon a bit what we know about the god valley incident.

Shanks was buggy level when Roger died

๐Ÿ˜Žand he's buggy level now

But that doesn't change the fact strong son does not equal strong dad

Because Garlingโ€™s main relevance is in being related to Shanks.

For an in-story reason: Garling probably didnโ€™t do that much. Killing slaves is all we have from him so far.

garlic wants no acknowledgment from the commoner vermin

who are they to even know about him? they don't deserve to know about him or his accomplishments. they're not worthy

there. i gave you an explanation that is perfectly in character - and that oda will likely replace with something that makes no sense :optimistic:

Garlic received credit for putting a rat inside the base operations of the Roger crew and blessing said rat with strong CD genes and privileges.

We don't know Garling's role yet, so its a bit early to wonder about this.
