And then there’s Garp. A goofy, careless exterior, but likely knows more about the darkness of the WG than even the admirals and chooses to follow them come rain or shine. We saw him laughing off the slave trade in saobady, god valley looks even worse. It’s really hard to defend him and view even his goofiness as anything but hypocritical.I’m sure Oda will come up with something. I’m skeptical it’ll be satisfactory.
I think that's where our disconnect is.
Folks think what happened at the slave auction/ God Valley is some insane tragedy we ain't ever seen the likes of. However, that's weird to me, knowing that right now (in-verse time) thousands of people are Mariejois enslaved and hundreds of them just enslaved to work a ramp. IMO, Mariejois existence right now in general is FAR bigger tragedy than anything related to God Valley/Ohara/etc. Something Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, Smoker, Hina, Koby, etc etc should all know.
When Fujitora is drinking his cup of tea with GreenBull there is absolutely 0 way with his Observation Haki that he doesn't know about the continuous torture the slaves are being put through at CD's personal houses (IE, Boa Hancock was fed a fruit that turned people into stone for pure entertainment). But he's still there laughing and enjoying his food with Greenbull. Same applies to all the top marines with solid CoO who have gone to Mariejois.
Hell there's a whole country made up of hundreds of thousands to millions of Celestial Dragon slaves in the East Blue, Tequila Wolf, probably just 1 of the dozens since it's meant to be a global bridge or something. Them slaves don't appear outta thin air, Marines should know them CD mfs literally pick up random wives, brothers, etc off the street to be slaves when they feel like it.
So why can all the Marines knowing all the shit that Garp knows about the CD can just enjoy their life, but Garp can't enjoy his? Like the alternative is Garp being a non-Marine or having thoughts of turning against the CD like Fujitora will. However, Fujitora joins up the Marines at the age of 50 while not having been raised or conditioned or bled for the Marines AFTER there is an alternative to the Marines the Revolutionary Army. So he doesn't even have the loyalty conflict that Garp has even if he wants to leave.
- him laughing at Sabody was due to the idea of Ray getting captured not the slave auction itself, iirc.
- At God Valley, why is everybody ignoring the Fleet Admiral of the Marines practically begging Garp to go assist the Celestial Dragons. I'm so confused, he didn't volunteer to go, the Fleet Admiral himself damn near begged him to go because Roger was at play now and they didn't expect that. On top of that we have 0 idea about what Garp actually did at the location, yet everybody is willingly labeling him as a CD lover and protector. Nobody is calling Kong a CD bootlicker, but nope it's Garp. The Brotha just tryna stay loyal to his homies (Marines) and help his brotha (Kong) out while potentially getting to talk with/fight against Roger.
Weirder thing is this is happening after another Fleet Admiral of the Marines tells us that the CD damn near have that mf on their hitlist:
Ty for the reply bruhz!
