I hard disagree that Garp refused the rank of admiral because he would not be able to "resist" orders as an admiral. He refused the rank of admiral because he on principle did not want to obey the celestial dragons in the first place. It is not like the CDs have these absolute mind control powers over marines, especially Garp who is a D (who are time and time again shown to be strong-willed characters). Garp refused the admiral rank multple times because he was unwilling to be the CD's dog. Better for him to be a vice-admiral and have more automony. I won't pretend he is not a hypocrite for still supporting the WG, who we all know to be an evil organization as evidenced by the conduct of those at the top of the WG hierarchy. Also isnt Furjorita an overly-dramatic dumbass who intentionally blinded himself? And futhermore according to a recent SBS, isnt he also a war criminal? Xd? And Garling is not even worth mentioning, he is the exact same archetype as the other Elders, SNORE.
