When did we all become MORALFAGS? So what if Garp cares more about his rivalry than some slaves he doesn't even know? Did he ever announce that he was a good person? The Marines are his football team and he plays for them. Its more heroic and honest than cowards like Fujitora who passive aggressively lash out. Garp just doesn't care and you can't make him

>Oda introduces character that is meant to be good


????
When was it mentioned he was supposed to be good? He's the hero of the main enemy group and the reason Luffy and Dragon became outlaws. He's supposed to be cool, and he's supposed to be nuanced enough to still love his family and dislike the shady shit the marines do, but he's still a badguy. At best he's an anti-hero.

>>282617723
Yeah. The SBS 110 revealed Fujitora and Fraudbull past..

Fujitora was one military chief in one Kingdom. That was destroyed in a war and he became in a War Criminal.
He blinded himself after that.

Later he incurred severe losses in a gambling house and became in a bodyguard in that place.. Finally the WG learned about him and bought that place and made him join the marine.

Shanks, Garling, Doflamingo- all noble and esteemed men. Worthless is a stretch. They have a lot of undeniable talent. If Garp trained Charlos i'm sure he could be Shichibukai level in a few years.
>>
>>282617996
If you think about it logically sure. For Oda, it’s good enough.
>>
>>282617931
He's a hypocrite, simple as. Even ruthless military leaders irl have significant others whom they'd be shed a tear for and Sengoku isn't even portrayed as THAT ruthless compared to someone like Akainu. I hope Oda realizes this and doesn't attempt to whitewash him as being "one of the good ones" all along.

Sengoku is a bootlicker but he’s meant to have a personal code since he quit after Marineford when pressed to keep quiet about Impel Down. But he really is the worst written character so far.

What’s funny is that Smoker was clearly built up to be an Admiral replacement (logia powers) but got shafted for no reason.

I miss when pirates were actually pirates and mostly rough and tough bastards with some having hearts of gold

Before Oda turned them into an underclass that exists because of the Celestial Dragons, every pre-existing conflict with low level pirates or shichibukai feels pointless knowing there’s an immortal god-devil sitting at the top of the world watching all the humans below fight for scraps
>>
>>282617197
I think the argument is supposed to be that pirates are worse, but we haven't really been shown that in the story for a long time.
Early on you had Buggy, Arlong, Blackbeard raiding Drum Kingdom, and Crocodile nearly taking voer a country to show you that pirates do bad things. Lately its' really just been Kaido and his group (including Doffy.) Even Big Mom looks like the greater good compared to the CDs.

yes but not in the way that most of the antifa libshits who read this manga want
garp and sengoku will be redeemed by being the ones who did their best to maintain the honor of the marines, keeping the tides of rapist pirates at bay, while doing the best they can to operate within the framework they had while raising the next generation

even if he's a coward who doesn't like fighting he should still be at least as strong as helmeppo

Not a rape baby. Ginny and the celestial were in love
>>
>>282618361
pirates aren't really pirates in one piece.
and it makes sense.
the world is broken into islands and anyone can become super strong if they train and fight enough strong people.
so basically there's a lot of adventurers traveling the seas to become stronger.
But if you become strong enough either the marines recruit you or you get branded a criminal.
see for instance mihawk. He's just a martial artist trying to become stronger. And yet he's a pirate.

so basically there are 2 types of pirates in one piece. Actual pirates, and adventurers who are branded criminals even though they're just traveling and exploring.

So how come Garp is called a hero?
>>
>every chapter we think Garp will get added character depth to explain his motivations
>every chapter it just gets worse and worse

Top tiers of the era are terrified of him, he quite literally is a load-bearing pillar of the entire celestial dragon hegemony. I'm really struggling to see how Oda can give Garp a believable reason for how he's acted for decades.

I'm fairly certain his "Hero of the Marines" title is a fabrication by the WG but man, aside from him murdering CDs on the island, what can salvage this dude.
>>
>>282619448
That's what I'm saying, there's nothing else to Garp but fightfaggotry. All this shit in the fandom about him trying to change the system from the inside is a total fabrication, he truly doesn't care about anything but blood on his fists.
>>
>>282619408
>none of you are free from sin

>>
>>282617405
Oda has gone out of his way to portray Garp in a positive light. The main example is the "he doesn't want to take directions from CDs so he stayed Vice Admiral". Not to mention raising Koby to be an incorruptible beacon of the new era for the marines.

If Oda is smart, he'll just lean into this side of Garp. There are boomers unironically like Garp, who will defend a system wholeheartedly no matter how wrong or evil it is. If Oda tries to force some level of sympathy for Garp on the reader that's when I would say he failed as an author.

There was no headcanon. I was expecting God Valley to be what it was SUPPOSED to be: a battle royale, starring the Gods-among-men in the world of One Piece.

Instead I got unironic cuckoldry, and a bastardization of all the characters I loved.

i could write a long thesis but after debating with many anons in these threads any good faith argument is going to be met with ignorance and willful misunderstanding so you will both have to excuse me for not being baited into a good faith response
by the language used in these threads i can already tell the deep seated political and ideological bias which will make misinterpretation of the argument even more likely
so in short...
sengoku, garp, and many other of the good or on the fence marines have taken the stance that the marines are the best option they have, albeit imperfect, in maintaining "justice". as they rise in seniority, they become more aware of the evil that sits atop of the organization, but they're in "too deep"
now some people, like aokiji, make a break from it, but for the old heads they probably think they've been in it too long, so they rely on the next generation
but even for guys like kizaru, at egghead, you can tell they are still internally conflicted and they know deep down the system is fucked
but they consider it a better alternative to the lawlessness of piracy, so they stick with it
was ohara fucked?
did it show how the marines characters were conflicted about justice? yes
but its the price those characters have chosen to pay for the "greater good" of having the marines

thats a very un-nuanced take from the perspective of the reader who has a perfect knowledge of the history of the one piece world
for the bulk of affiliated WG kingdoms, they are under the "protection" of the marines. Would pirates start raping and pillaging if they thought garp was gonna drop in and shove his foot up their ass? no
marines are, if not a force for "good", a force of "control" which leads to "stability" which leads to "peace"
the question is, and the question senior marines ask, is whether the bulk of the overall "peace" is worth the price they have to pay for unsavory activities at the top

>>
>>282620826
its called suspension of disbelief, anon
yeah, oda probably leaned too hard into the degenerate behavior of the celestial dragons
in a meta sense, it creates enough disgust in the audience that we feel that the system is no longer worth preserving, which will match with its eventual destruction (and likely reform via the new generation) in the story
too many anons in these threads are getting triggered by mapping it to real world politics and therefore taking hardline reactionary stances against fictional characters for not behaving like they "should" if this scenario were "real"
the big picture view is
>the world government is supposed to be a "round table" of kingdoms but really controlled by a singular shadowy force
>the marines are supposed to be the force for "justice" but really enforce the WG's authority through a monopoly on violence
>pirates exist outside of the rigid boundaries of the world government which on the surface means criminal behavior but also means freedom from authoritarian control
>revolutionaries want to abolish the oppressive WG
and within each faction there is a spectrum of moral and political alignment of the characters
>>
>>282620686
Eh, I like the CDs being a decadent upper class, Oda just took it a bit too far recently, but even that is more a problem of execution rather than concept. One Piece has undeniably changed in tone in recent years though largely due to the shift in focus to CD depravity and Nika liberator worship.

we are told that marines are the "good guys"
and as the story goes on we see more and more evidence to the contrary to the point where we are now where we are saying "it's better to have nothing than have this" which sets up Dragon's and other revolutionaries motivations
>Fucking hell, we literally just saw Whitebeard TURN AROUND and RUN AWAY.
thats just bad writing and where suspension of disbelief comes in
at some point newgate became "whitebeard"
was that before he joined rocks, after, etc, who knows

to me the whole point of the flashback is this is before everyone became the legends they eventually became

Whitebeard is not running away because he's a coward though, he's running away because it's a pointless fight. He's there to save Shakky, and he's competing against the Rocks and Roger pirates to be the first to do so. Garp was there for fightfaggotry, WB had no time for that.

I will never understand posts like this, the marines do nothing to stop pirates are you reading with your eyes closed? Every government affiliated island we see on the series has a pirate problem regardless of being in the wg(except wg owned islands like enies lobby)fishman island had to relie on whitebeard and then big mom regardless of being member state for 200 years, Alabasta had to relie pn crocodile and their national military regardless of being a founder member, lulucia had pirate problems and they still had to pay tribute regardless of famine

The marines exist to collect celestial tribute and thats it, you can only count on them for that because even if you pay there is a very high chance you still wont be protected from pirates
>>282620652
It makes much more sense to live under big mom, blackbeard and I dont even need to mention whitebeard as their service actually guarantees protection from pirates. Kaido is the only regime as bad as the wg but the wg is still worse because they affect way more people than the population of wano and also make false promisses and mock you by wearing coats that say "JUSTICE" Kaido at least wont lie about his intentions

Aramaki explains it to you perfectly. By having a race/group of people to look down to people find solace and unity.

It's not exactly inconsistent. The idea that he's never taken a wound to the back in a fight still is true. That doesn't mean he's never chosen to avoid a fight, just that he's never run away once a fight is inevitable.
Discretion is the better part of valor after all.

the story follows the main characters so of course we dont see it
but we hear about koby's feats, shit even law turns in 100 pirate hearts to become a shichibukai (because the point of shichibukai is to deter piracy), even rocks says most marines are good guys, oda probably put that in for the overly literal audience
>The marines exist to collect celestial tribute and thats it
i think its more accurate to say that the marines are the world government's "monopoly on violence" through which they maintain their literal authority over the world. yes they collect tribute, but they also enact retribution on those who break the laws of the system, be they pirates, unaffiliated nations, or rebellious member states, or anything really that would erode the domination of the WG
the yonko created a problem because they were strong enough to maintain their own fiefdoms in such a way the WG couldn't beat them without suffering heavy losses, it would have been a pyrrhic victory and so not worth it

I like the idea that, at this point, the normal World Nobles/Celestial Dragons serve as a sort of screen to keep people distracted from the actual rulers of the world. Even the Revolutionaries thought the World Government's structure could be retained as long as the World Nobles were thrown out of power, but now we know that there's a actual satanic cabal run by a irrational immortal tyrant. The World Nobles and the World Government being vile was pushed pretty hard to lead up to Marineford and during the timeskip with Robin's story, but the Yonko saga just made them become out of focus.

Garp is just one of those guys who is high up in some dictatorship who sees what's at the top, doesn't personally revel in it, but doesn't want his 'bosses' to be the one to put a bullet in him. Rocks wasn't a great guy, he was still a pirate in his early years hitting true civvie targets, when he turned his attention to WG assets, that's better 'to us' as readers, but those in the world at large would see him as just a pirate hitting friendly nation X, and 'oh no, we might be next'.

Oda's biggest problem is One Piece is supposed to be a race to the finish, but then you have all these pirates that just lounge about and go back and forth all over the world at any time which kills the point.

>monarcho-communist
This is an oxymoron. A communist society by it's definition has no class, state or rulers. Monarchy does not fit any of those depictions.
And for anyone who thinks that One Piece is a pro-monarchy manga, let me remind you that there hasn't been a single good monarch in the story. Sure, some are morally good. But they're not good leaders. Cobra let his country be destabilized by a single man. Fishman Island is a class society with it's fair share of problems like poverty and inequality. Under Riku, Dressrosa was unable to defend itself against a single pirate group. Wano's downfall was because it's Monarch was blind to the problems festering beneath, and his follower was just uninterested in ruling in general.
Good people, bad leaders. One Piece does not portray monarchy as a good thing, ever. instead, Oda shows us that not even good rulers can prevent the downfall of their countries, should shit hit the fan.

Those weren't my arguments but lets go through a few of them for the sake of it.
He points at the world government and it's forces being like the UN a international peace keeping force intended to express the will of an supranational faction who control it and are above any laws that are not their own making them essentially the only ruling body in the world. They abuse this power to forcibly confiscate the economic output of every single other nation state they claim to protect. Now he equates this to "un jews" due to the world government's seat being an out of the way "holy land" where only they and select "lesser leaders" are allowed pilgrimage.
The WG claims that they alone have the power to protect people from the scourge of piracy, however if they weren't taking all the economic output from every other land under their rule and centralizing all those who would fight under strict rule each island would likely be able to more efficiently put up a defense on their own merits.
In summation the WG and it's military are parasites, they kill anyone who threatens their power for the sake of keeping said power and have a proven track record of failure at keeping pirates under any kind of control while a huge lists of successful genocides to keep the nation states tithing to the WG.
The comparisons he used only because he was fed up with you dancing around the fact that Oda has written everything to be stupid.

Again, doesn't change the fact they're bad leaders. And people like Wapol, Doflamingo and Orochi have been de facto evil monarchs, after they've risen to power thanks to the weakness of monarchy itself. Wapol inherited the position despite being bad for it, because that's a built-in feature of monarchy. Doflamingo not only believed himself to be a monarch, he managed to become one by taking out a weaker monarch. Same goes for Orochi, he allied himself with Kaido and became the new monarch. Evil people, and ironically, the last two were more effective monarchs than the good people they replaced.

Never said I was. Because they don't exist. I'm saying that there are countries where the monarchy is just for show, and doesn't function like monarchies do. Unironically the only way to reach an egalitarian society is communism.

That's your mistake. Luffy doesn't view them as monarchs. They're just people Luffy likes, and Luffy punches the guys who are mean to those people. He has overthrown monarchs, but he hasn't intentionally really reinstated a single one, only allowed them to take the position of one because he's believed them to be good people. And again, after which he has told them he'll protect them in case, you know, the monarchy things goes south. Again.

a country that has a monarch, is a monarchy. your definition of monarchy EXCLUDES COUNTRIES THAT ARE MONARCHIES. britain is still a monarchy even if its monarchs are largely ceremonial.

Imu must have cursed Amazon lily with love sickness..

The fact that the empress can only fall once, when she gets the sickness, no matter if the guy in questiom treats her poorly, like Roger treats Gloriosa or Ray treats Shakky, they have to "love" him if they want to live.

I think the Kujas are dangerous for Imu. Shakky hurt Sommers

Yeah, sure.
He has intentionally taken out monarchs, and via his actions created power vacuums, and has allowed for people he deems as good to seize the power. He isn't responsible for them or their countries, but trusts that they are good people, so he's willing to defend them despite their flaws. Luffy isn't telling them to be monarchs or how to rule their countries. He wasnt to see a fair world. So he takes out the unfair people.

Luffy was criticizing Momo for his weaknesses as a leader, yes. And he was teaching Momo what it means to be a good ruler, yes. Because while he trusts Momo, he sees him as a child. Which he is. What does this have to do with anything? Luffy promised to help him before he knew Momonosuke was a monarch. He had all the intentions of taking out Kaido before he knew why. Because he liked a kid who Kaido had wronged. No pro-monarchist statement there.

It depends on what D means. Was it a group? Just those that allied with joyboy? Or was it a specific lineage of joyboys? More likely the former. Weird move to out yourself as anti-proto WG (assuming this is the time frame it started) and not get fully hunted down over the centuries, and given that WG doesn't care about killing Ds ('they don't know the significance anymore', 'anyone can fake it', 'anyone can hide it') it can't, or shouldn't have major lore implications beyond signifying 'my ancestors once opposed you'.

>all he wants is meat
Retard-kun, Luffy wanting food is basically a way of painting him as a childlike simpleton. He doesn't just see food as food, food is an act of kindness, and it's a human right for him. Food is a metaphor for life itself for Luffy. He wanted a country where his friends could eat themselves full, remember? He famously help people because they "give him food" aka. show themselves to empathetic enough to help someone who wants food (a basic human right). It's literally played for laughs in Fishman Island, where it's driven home by having him say he doesn't want to be "a hero", aka. a champion for monarchy or for democracy, or for anything else, he just wants meat. And while he says he doesn't want to share, that is, he would if someone needed that food. That's why he took out a fucking Yonko. Food is even further used as a metaphor like this in several scenes, starting from Zoro and the tread-upon rice cakes, all the way to Big Mom and his dystopian kingdom of seemingly endless "food" (freedom, equality etc, she even says that's what she wants)
>>

>>282623729
One of the explicit goals of the war Luffy wholeheartedly supported was returning Kozuki vlan to power. That is, Luffy very intentionally put a monarch on a throne. And you're twisting the scene, he was the only one NOT treating Momonosuke like a child as Kinemon himself remarks.

>>282617996
It means Garp was never a part of shit like Buster Calls and the atrocities committed by the WG, that excuses everything.

right, so if crocodile had given him meat, he would have been pro-crocodile

Those countries dont exist anymore its just shitty islands and that eyesore plateau the Red Line. One Piece has one of the ugliest worlds in shounen.

Garp is a moral foot soldier so they would have kept him in a bubble from most of the morally questionable things. He ended up disliking the Celestials but being an idiot he might not have been aware of the shit the marines do in their name. Seriously, have we even seen this guy read?

Sengoku I have no excuse for. He held command over some heinous shit. Even retiring when he did was a retarded decision considering who were next in line to replace him. He contributed significantly to the world order being the shit sandwich it is. He also contributed to keeping Garp in line.
>>
>>282624018
>right, so if crocodile had given him meat, he would have been pro-crocodile
Up until the second when he would've found out he's an asshole. Luffy has an uncanny ability to tell when someone is good, and giving him food is a simplified way of telling us that the idiot has now accepted the Good Person.
Also, Luffy isn't a pro-monarch until he defends a monarch's right to be a ruler against anti-monarchist just because the person being defended is a monarch. That hasn't happened. Luffy hasn't defended Monarchy, he has defended good people despite them being monarchs.
>>

I already said it, he does. When needed. He won't let someone die because he doesn't want to share meat. He, by default, wants a world where everyone has enough of it so he doesn't HAVE to share it. Meat/Food being human rights, freedom etc.

>>282624187
I thought to be 'king' you were recognized and uplifted by 'princes'. A kingdom has many princes, they work together, kingship can pass to any of them. The level above that is emperor. Your direct offspring holding on to your title as king, was a whole other matter, as per the 'kingdom's rules', or just killing each other.

The territory you might hold as a prince could be tiny or larger than 'the kings'.
>>
Franky, the king in this look more like Mayor than actually King, with how small each island/kingdom is
>>
>>282624018
If Crocodile was giving meat to the hungry, Luffy probably wouldn't have minded him ruling over Alabasta. He doesn't care about things like 'rightful heirs' or royalty, and Crocodile taking the kingdom over would be fine in Luffy's eyes if Vivi was an asshole and Croc was a chill dude who ran things well.

Just as "convenient" it is for you to ignore the times he's gone against monarchs.

But I can. Luffy is friends with monarchs. And he's friends with anti-authoritarian people like Sabo, Ivankov etc. Because them being monarchs isn't a factor for him. You can't just look at Luffy "reinstating a monarch" like it exists in a vacuum, you have to look into Luffy's actions as a character outside of it. Luffy has ties to anti-monarchist revolutionaries, to monarchs, to outlaws, to marines etc. He helped Koby, KNOWING he wants to be a marine. Is he pro-marine? No. He exists in a world with a myriad of small islands that are almost exclusively monarchies. You can't help any country in a world like that without (by your definition) being "pro-monarchy"
>>
>>282624809
>You can't just look at Luffy "reinstating a monarch"
but he does, technically, reinstate them
you can "contextualize" it all you want, but he does go around reinstating monarchs
>Is he pro-marine? No.
since we're at the end of the thread anyway, the real answer is that luffy is apolitical
but no one wants to have that discussion in the current political climate
>>
>>282624809
sounds like luffy is just apolitical and people would just use him as some mouthpiece for their politics, so it doesn't matter in the end anyway

>>
>>282624926
>he does go around reinstating monarchs
Sure, but then you have to admit he also goes around removing monarchs from power. That doesn't really seem pro-monarchist, now does it? It's almost like there's something outside of monarchy itself that motivates him.
>>
>>282625029
>you have to admit he also goes around removing monarchs from power
to reinstate the "right" monarch, yes
>>

He takes out bad guys that bully the good guys. He lets the good guys take over, if they want. The actual political setting has never been a factor for him.

People are just used to self-insering into the main character and can't comprehend them not being their mouthpiece or reflecting them in any way. Especially considering it's shounen and teenage male target audience is much worse with self-inserting issue.

Again, Luffy has helped marines, pirates, revolutionaries, monarchs, civilians, shipbuilders etc. Why is it specifically the monarchy part that makes you say Luffy is "pro-monarchy"? Again, this is a world filled with islands that happen to be monarchies. Is Luffy anti-Marine for fighting against them, or pro-Marine for helpong them? You clearly are able to tell he's pro-monarchy despite also going against them. In Skypiea, Luffy helped religious people depose a religious leader and in-so-doing "reinstate" a new one. Is he pro-religion?
