Garp didn't capture any major pirates we know off. Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, Whitebeard, hell he wouldn't even have captured Shiki if he didn't arrive at Marineford. He basically acted as a propaganda and morale booster for the Marines and that's it. So for all we know, he neither protected any place from Yonko nor fought any of them directly in any way shape or form. Garp didn't join his son's revolution against the same system he KNOWS to be deeply corrupt on account of the fact he didn't become an Admiral precisely because it would have meant he would have to directly protect Celestial Dragons.
This man is known as the hero of the Marines and, as far as we are told, is literally the most famous Marine of all time. If he had joined his son? God only knows how large the rebellion might be now. For all we know? It would already have managed to topple the world government itself.
Garp instead of doing ANYTHING sat on his ass for the better part of two decades plus after Roger died doing FUCK ALL, was such a pisspoor role model Sabo, Ace, AND Luffy all wanted to become Pirates. When Ace gets captured? Garp doesn't do SHIT. He swats away Marco, then almost has the AUDACITY to outright stop Luffy, and then gets pissed at Akainu for killing Ace only to be stopped by Sengoku.
And legit he does not have the right to be mad about shit. "If you do not hold me down I kill Akainu" oh NOW Garp wants to do shit. Now he wants to get angry.
When he was at Impel Down and the only obstacle in his way of freeing him was fucking Magellan? NOTHING.
When Koby, his fucking apprentice, gets kidnapped by Blackbeard? Galaxy Impact punch as a welcoming present.
The stronger Garp is shown to be the more of a bitch he will end up looking like for letting Ace die and not standing up for what he knows is right and joining his son. If Garp is an old has-been, and his threat towards Akainu was mostly his anger talking that would be one thing. But if he reveals he, much like his fans claim, still got it and unlike Rayleigh barely lost any of his strength due to still being active the whole time? Fuck him. Fuck this geriatric dickhead for both being too lazy to commit to the Marines to actually do anything meaningful after Roger, and double fuck him as a grandpa for letting Ace die despite having been able to EASILY allow him to leave.
If Garp dies saving COBY, fucking COBY instead of Ace? The kid he has known and more or less raised (SHIT in that role to btw immediately putting them under the care of a fucking bandit like Dadan but whatever) for over a decade while Koby has been with him less than three years? Garp might be among the worst Grandpas in fiction you are supposed to still root for.
