Garp’s Unwavering Stance Against Serving the Celestial Dragons
Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, known as Luffy’s grandfather, is a beloved marine in the world of One Piece. Despite his lack of Devil Fruit powers, Garp’s strength and achievements are remarkable. However, many fans wonder why he continues to hold the position of vice admiral instead of becoming an admiral.
In the world of One Piece, the navy is seen as the embodiment of goodness, tasked with protecting the Celestial Dragons who hold the highest authority in the World Government. However, the dark side of the Celestial Dragons has been exposed, revealing their immoral actions and crimes against humanity.
Garp, being aware of the true nature of the Celestial Dragons, refuses to turn a blind eye to their despicable actions. He understands that becoming an admiral would mean serving these corrupt individuals and obeying their commands. This realization has led him to repeatedly decline promotions to higher ranks.
Garp firmly believes that being a criminal does not necessarily make someone a bad person. To prove this, he adopted Ace, the son of the pirate Gol D. Roger, and raised him as his own. Garp agrees with Roger’s philosophy that a father’s crimes should not be inherited by their children. He entrusted both Ace and Luffy to the care of Curly Dadan, a mountain bandit, to ensure they would grow up away from the influence of their infamous fathers.
Despite his incredible strength and numerous accomplishments, Garp remains steadfast in his refusal to serve the Celestial Dragons. He values his principles and refuses to compromise them for personal gain or advancement within the navy. Garp’s unwavering stance against the corrupt system makes him a truly admirable character in the world of One Piece.
