The difference between Cracker and King is they never held Cracker for an undisclosed amount of time, putting him through countless tortures, and know exactly what he looks like. They've only ever seen Crackers biscuit solider. They have an extensive amount of knowledge on King and his anatomy.
You'd have an argument there if it wasn't for the fact that the World Government tried to promote him multiple times on multiple occasions. If it was a matter of saving face, they'd ask him once, and him turning it down would be their out. They tried, he said no, and leave it at that. They wouldn't keep asking the man who constantly defies them to become an Admiral. Hell, Oda would have never even needed to put that in the story. He did so to let the readers know that even though Garp is a Vice Admiral, he was qualified to be an Admiral.
Government doesn't know King is Lunarian.
Sooner you realize their information gathering is not as great as we all expected, the better.
I meant the last reveal with Gomu Gomu already make the Gorosei look like scrubs in gathering information. But if you insist, then I agree to disagree. The Garp topic interests me more.
About Garp, can you please explain all these to me:
- why Kaido not listed Garp in his Great 5 List? Kaido was living witness of God Valley Incident, and Garp was supposed to be 1 of the 2 big stars of the incident. So why is Kaido not impressed and putting him in the list?
- why Oda teased with Sengoku saying "there are many tales about Garp's story in God Valley, I am not sure which 1 to believe"? As is Oda tells us there is 1 hidden truth for Garp.
- why Garp is tight lipped regarding the God Valley? Which is same like Smoker who tight lipped about Alabasta incident?
- what did Rayleigh and friends do in God Valley, that you believe only Roger and Garp duo defeated the Rocks Pirates?
- Why Garp that is supposed to defeat Rocks and his crew duo with Garp. Yet 8 years later he still needed training to face Chinjao?
All of these connects to Garp being the fraud imo. I like to hear
your explanation, since I was also impressed with your older theories, especially Pudding is evil theory.
