Character Discussion Garp is a vile, immoral piece of shit

Garp's definitely not perfect. He cares for his grandsons and likely his son too but he was clearly not a capable parent and good intentions aren't enough to justify leaving them with bandits as they grew up.
Marineford was Garp's responsibilities as a grandfather up against those of his as a Marine. Luffy and Ace chose their paths and Garp was conflicted on what to do in the midst of that war so he expressed this by sitting out for most of the war and stood against Luffy but mad no attempt to physically stop him. He hoped things would turn out alright for his grandsons without him tarnishing his place in the Marines and he paid for it. I don't think he's above criticism but it's not like it's a black and white matter. I didn't appreciate his choice but he's far from the most vile character around.
