Garp, Fascism, and Parental Failure
Garp is truly one of the most interesting One Piece characters for me because of the extent to which his dogged, relentless devotion to a fascist system–and the supposed "order" it promises to uphold in the face of anarchy or rebellion–perseveres no matter how many times it fails him and his son and his grandsons. He's fully aware of the deep-seated corruption and atrocity, and feels some kind of moral obligation to bend its rules to protect the innocent (as we can see with his attempts to protect Rouge and Ace), but when faced with widespread femicide and infanticide, genocide, slavery and endless examples of egregious cruelty, he is unable to comprehend the notion that the system is indefensible, or that the only moral choice he can possibly make when faced with that level of atrocity is to leave and resist it. His son recognizing the inherent, inexcusable failures of the World Government and its armed enforcers–literally quitting the force to start a revolution– changes nothing. The order to slaughter pregnant people and infants at Baterilla can't convince him otherwise. The countless instances of bribery, the tolerance of atrocity from state-sanctioned privateers, everything about the history of the Valley of the Gods are all things he's aware of, and takes issue with, but never comes to the conclusion that he cannot affect positive change within a system designed for oppression. The public execution of his grandson–a prime example of the marine's fundamentally irrational, arrogant, vindictive cruelty clearly bound to blow up in all of their faces even before their Pyrrhic victory at the summit war–makes him waver, but even when confronted with this obvious, indefensible injustice against a child he raised and rescued by people seeking to murder him on live TV and desecrate his corpse as a show of power, he cannot bring himself to act against it in any meaningful way no matter how much it hurts him to leave his grandson to die. If he can't veto it, he'll stay Vice Admiral and suffer through Ace being sacrificed on the altar of fascist state control, and functionally leave Luffy for dead in the process while he's at it. He fails every single person he wanted to love–Ace, Luffy, and almost certainly Dragon–and allows himself to be reluctantly complicit in countless crimes against humanity again and again and again because he's so deeply steeped in this notion of preservation of order through state control that he convinces himself that even this disgusting, atrocious, fundamentally flawed and untenable excuse for a government is better than abolition, better than revolution, or just the act of expecting accountability or literally anything better from the systems that issue false promises to protect you. Dadan beating the living shit out of him and calling him a failure as a grandfather, as a self proclaimed defender of the people, is one of the most important scenes in the Postwar Arc because a lesser series might frame Garp as a tragic, helpless figure suffering more than anyone else due to conflict of love and duty, but One Piece refuses to whitewash his actions/inaction or allow the grief and suffering caused by systems he's complicit in to take precedence over its real victims: the D brothers.
There's so much I could say about statism and anarchism and the ways people have internalized the supposed necessity of state violence to the extent they can't oppose that violence even when it ruins them or their loved ones, but that horrible indoctrination and its devastating consequences for both him and his family are what makes Garp so fascinating to watch and so thematically/politically important to One Piece as a whole.

Garp, putting a band-aid on Coby’s knee: shhh shh it’s okay-
Ace, looks like he may have been out in the woods for a few days, we aren’t sure yet: YOU LEFT ME OUT THERE TO DIE, YOU B-
Garp: shhh, you’re upsetting Coby…, go back and play with Luffy, here I’ll help you
*throws ace into the sun*

Everyone’s Favorite Food
I got inspired to draw some marines eating their favorite dishes after seeing a panel from one of the new chapters that came out (Thanks, Kizaru).
🌋 Akainu: white rice and hot peppers
✨ Kizaru: miso ramen, ginger, and BANANAS 🍌
❄️ Aokiji: sherry wine, milk, and coffee (the original Kuzan blend according to Oda).
🌿 Ryokugyu: this man doesn’t eat he PHOTOSYNTHESIZES
☄️ Fujitora: soba and udon
🐐 Sengoku: okaki
🍘 Garp: senbei and curry

do you guys ever think about how oden knew luffy would come to save wano in 20 years, assumably knowing the future from seeing the one piece, and if thats true than roger knew that ace's death would be the catalyst for luffys growth and gave him to garp for that sole purpose? anyways i need to kill myself

How old do you have to be to join the Marines in One Piece? I was just thinking about how Garp supposedly wanted Ace and Luffy to become Marines, and yet —
He left them alone on the island all the way up until they each set sail at seventeen.
Seventeen.
Wasn't Koby sixteen when he joined the marines?
How come Garp didn't drop by Dawn and snatch Luffy up before he turned seventeen? Especially considering he would've already known that Ace had set sail at seventeen...
The only possible explanation I can think of is that — as much as he might've wanted them to become Marines — Garp knew that they'd never actually be happy that way...
He's all bark and no bite, basically.
Seriously, if Garp really wanted to force them to be Marines he easily could've snatched them up at any time and enlisted them against their will, but instead he chose to leave them unattended until they each set off on their own...
And there's no way he didn't know what they were planning; they weren't exactly being subtle about it... He knew and he chose to let it happen, and not only that — he did absolutely nothing to stop them once they'd set sail.
The most he did was drop in after Luffy had declared war on the World Government to check in on him and see how he was doing, and then half-heartedly try to catch Luffy and his crew whilst actually letting them go... (There's no way that wasn't one hundred percent intentional.)
I'm telling you: Garp is all bark and no bite.

Sengoku, at Garp's funeral: I need a moment with him. Everyone: Of course. *They leave* Sengoku, leaning over Garp′s coffin: Okay, listen here, you little shit. I know you’re not dead. Garp: Yeah, no shit.
**
Garp: Pulls a glass of water from out of nowhere Sengoku: Where did you get that? Garp: My pocket. Sengoku: How do you keep a glass of water in your pocket? Garp: Skills.
**
Sengoku at Starbucks: Can I get a venti vanilla latte with, um, seven espresso shots. Garp, in line behind them: Jesus Christ, just do cocaine.
**
Garp: We’re having a moment, aren’t we? Sengoku: If by 'a moment' you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.
**
Dragon, firmly in the midst of the teenage years: Dad just insisted that Mom and I remember a code word in case we’re ever confronted by his clone or a cyborg doppelgänger and we’re not sure which is the real him and which is the imposter. Dragon, firmly in the midst of the teenage years: Some families have a fire escape plan, but not us.
**
Dragon, firmly in the midst of the teenage years: In your opinion, what is the height of stupidity? Sengoku, turning to Garp: How tall are you?
**
Garp: OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?! TIME OUT! GET ON TOP OF THE FRIDGE! GET UP THERE! Dragon, firmly in the midst of the teenage years: *Climbing* THIS HOUSE IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!
**
Garp, texting Dragon: Text me when you’re home safely. Dragon, firmly in the midst of the teenage years: I’m home dangerously. Garp: Stop it. Dragon, firmly in the midst of the teenage years: I’m home lethally

Hello again brook! I am the one who asked for the luffy x heroic reader! Thanks for it I liked it a lot! I wanna ask for another headcanons now, a Platonic garp x young fem reader that really look up to him and that work really really hard to achieve her dream to become an admiral and work to change how the marine work (being okay with slavery, allowing some pirates to hurt ppl and do whatever they want while chasing some for doing nothing...) And she manage to become one of the strongest and the barevest marines in such a short time
HIII AGAIN ANON!! :)
yay I’m so happy you were satisfied!!! ❤️‍🩹
AWWW your concepts are the cutest!!! I think garp with young apprentice who admires him a lot is absolutely adorable!!
Tumblr media
Idk whether to make this old or young garp really so you choose :P
ENJOY!! You have such good ideas~
😋
You look up to garp so much!!
he’s the hero of the marines who doesn’t?!
you’ve admired him for a long time now and he motivates you even more to achieve your goal!
as soon as you get as good as him, you’ll put an end to all the corrupt things the marines let slide!!
your gonna be a hero in your own way!! 🦸‍♀️
and make things right in the way the government does things!!
to make this true justice!!!
you’ve read all about garp’s past a million times
to the point where you could probably tell it backwards and upside down without reading it 😅
you subconsciously ramble and talk about him a lot
not in a creepy way
in a cute puppy like way where you just like to talk about the one you admire!
you always think “what would garp do?!” in tough situations!
and it works too
he’s the type that comes up with simple yet effective plans that mostly involve brute force
but hey I mean sometimes that works 🤷‍♀️
Garp honestly doesn’t mind one bit that you look up to him so heavily
he wouldn’t care so much if you weren’t his apprentice but you are
And while he doesn’t mind, he does want you to carve your own path, not or just limit yourself to his if you can surpass him
he stooped to one knee, put a hand on your shoulder and told you that one day as you were training
you’ve gotta admit it was the coolest day of your life and you’ll never forget it
you’ve engraved into your mind and make sure never to obsess over becoming like him, but strive to be as good as him
you couldn’t stop thinking about that moment for a solid week
garp could tell because you kept spacing out way more often than usual 😂💗
Ngl you kinda view garp as like a uncle or second father maybe, or even your grandfather (but of course you don’t dismiss that your not actually family)
garp’s training is honestly- REALLY INTENSE 😃
like he does you how he does koby, helmeppo and younger luffy
but WORSE 😆
why? Because he has high expectations for you <3
and while he might come off as too harsh at first, as you soon as you found that out you stop complaining 😂
It’s honestly a good thing your a natural hard worker cuz garp was gonna make you one anyway 😂🤷‍♀️
now he doesn’t have to worry about you slacking or being lazy
but he does warn you about overworking and that rest is just as important as working, as odd as it may seem
your dream to become an admiral seems totally in reach for you to him
your like the perfect specimen to do so in his eyes
You have a moral sense of justice, your strong and hard working
you’d be an ideal admiral!
and the first female one at that!
he honestly hopes you do become an admiral
its time for a change of pace as far as the governmental rules anyway
you’d bring that about perfectly
and give regular people a hope that there is good in the marines, specifically uncorrupted ones they could trust
And you’d teach a good lesson to those darned pirates too!
-according to garp
He’s given you all the training and has set you up to become a successful admiral—just like you wanted!
Now you’d better become one and achieve your dream! Or he’s gonna beat you!
(Fist of love 🤜💥)
literally 😋
he cares so much about you, he doesn’t want you to fail!
so he’ll force you to not to 😊
one way or the other :P
and besides, your practically his successor!!
he ain’t getting any younger (not that you like when he says that) so your gonna have to take over a lot of responsibility from his shoulders when he leaves!! >:(…. (❤️‍🩹)
And if he leaves this earth and you embarrass him by being weak he’s gonna come BACK down here and teach you a lesson!
”understood?!”
”YES SIR.” (`_´)ゞ
He’s also straight forward about warning you of the dangers that comes with this job
number one is strong pirates and two is breaking the rules!
don’t be afraid to break the rules because you’ll loose your job, but because HE’S gonna get you >:/
That aside there’s also the grand line in general but the marines have the advantage of special travel routes and technology
So to put it short as long as you ain’t doing nothin you ain’t got no business you’ll be fine :)
the whole slavery thing is beyond garp
Not in the sense that he doesn’t know about it
but that he just can’t believe others are doing that??
like what’s the purpose
if you were gonna do illegal things anyway might as well become a pirate so he can beat you for it
but because they’re in a position of power too it makes it harder
you have to gather solid evidence and go to court and blah blah blah……*tunes out*
(bro just wants to eat his crackers)
but not to worry for the slaves!
you’ve got a plan!
what it is? don’t ask, garp wasn’t listening 🧍‍♀️
but just know you’ll be saved soon! 👋
He understands your want to save others in general
now idk what garp’s drive is
but even though your goals may be different
he totally sees where your coming from
but take some advice from a guy who gets called a hero all the time—don’t get ahead of yourself.
(he knows you won’t he just wants to make sure he tells you in case you do, then he can say he warned you)
lots of people loose they’re way on they’re path to power
but your so headstrong he knows you won’t
as far as the whole thing were some of the marines attack pirates who have barely just started calling themselves so but won’t take down the ones causing REAL chaos
is real phony and bogus to him
and to you too
(it low key makes you giddy when you and garp have the same opinions because you admire him so much 😂💖)
but yeah he personally beats any pirates he comes across, big or small
but he will prioritize the bigger ones
he’s a big shot himself, so he ain’t scared 😎
his missions is never to chase around roaches anyway
he only gets the real deal 💪
garp was so proud when you became one of the strongest and bravest marines
he had no doubt in his mind you could do it
But so soon? He’s impressed!
”guess you worked harder than I thought you did, sport.”
that was your first ever sense of praise from him and from that very second on you never forgot
you think about it every night before bed and during every battle
You let it drive you and push you further towards your goal
which is also when you may have realized his soft spot for you
At first he never really displayed it, but ever since then you knew it was already always there <3
you felt so honored and grateful in that moment
he treats you to some crackers to celebrate 🍻
koby and helmeppo love to train with you!!
they think your so strong
and that it’s cool that your basically garp’s successor
they definitely believe in you, especially since all the times you beat them in training
In fact, they look up to you
btw you, garp and Sengoku are also like a silly little family 💗
your family bond between you, garp, Sengoku, Koby and Helmeppo is adorable, goofy and inseparable all at the same time
he’s proud, you’ll never hear him say it, but he doesn’t have to. ❤️‍🩹🤝
This is my first time writing for garp and it was my pleasure! This was so heartwarming and I’m honored to have done the job <3
I hope you enjoyed these hcs as well dearest anon!

Am I the only one that thought Mihawk was like a Spaniard like how luffy is Brazilian, and Zoro is Japanese. Am I the only one that thought he looked like a conquistador?!?!!. Because I was reading a Reddit thread and they all thought he was like French and I was shook.
Like I live who they cast as Mihawk and I love all the accents for the characters (like seriously A Scottish accent for Garp is inspired) but the only one I felt kind of let down by was Mihawk because I thought it’d be cool if he had like a Spanish accent. Just to learn that a lot of people apparently thought he was more French based. But yeah I was just vaguely disappointed still love the performance tho. Also I love the difference between Mihawk’s more proper sassy British accent and Shanks’ one of the lads accent. Another accent I wasn’t quite expecting but ended up loving.

So I can't really draw all that well but i desperately wanted a picture of Luffys memorial from my fic Red Sun Rising!
"When I snuck out, I found where it was tossed, I grabbed it and hid it with my things," Sabo replied before taking the pipe back and with his Haki and his strength, slammed it into the ground.
Shanks grinned as he watched the blonde step back, tears silently dripping down his face, fingers falling limp off the cold metal. Ace stepped forward with shaking hands, slipping off the tattered red and white bracelet he had always carried with him, the brothers not really needing to explain, only exchanging a small smile.
That bracelet had withstood time, fires, the New World, and it will continue to withstand the barren earth here. A memento made with love, one of the first gifts Ace had ever received made by small hands guided by a green-haired woman they called family.
Garp was next, taking off a locket that he had always carried and opened it to reveal a picture of all four of them when they were young, fingers gently closing the case once again hiding away the image as he whispered his own goodbyes. Benn startled many as he stepped forward next, pulling out a familiar dagger, a huff of laughter escaping those from the Redforce that had joined them.
"That kid stole my knife without me knowing and used it to show his idiotic way of bravery. Haven't used it since... couldn't for the life of me lose it or use it after that." He explained, thumb rubbing under his own eye when the brothers frowned at him in confusion, both snorting in laughter as they began to understand.
Dragon didn't move, couldn't, not when he didn't have anything to add to the memorial that his brothers started and didn't that just burn. He watched as everyone but the Whitebeard Pirates stepped up and placed something even if it was a token of a memory of that day, of his son… yet… Dragon had nothing.
His eyes flickered to Red-Haired Shanks, his anger from earlier dying as he finally takes in the man's appearance. He looked shattered in a way that was worse than before, worse than what Dragon could recall seeing after Gol D. Rogers death, this looked like a man who had lost his sole purpose of living… like a father who had to bury his son…
Sharp inhales knocked him from his thoughts as he saw Red-Hair lift a ragged straw hat from below his cloak, burned and scorched, stained red with the blood of Luffy, and place it directly on top of it all. Hand clutching tight to the crown, tears pooling in his eyes.

Garp pulls up to meet Alli and is like this time this time I will have a marine in the family (Lizard is having a much needed shower) and then Ace is like No no Alli will be a pirate and Luffy says Alli can be whatever they want to be unless they want to take away people's freedom then it's not allowed.
Garp, breathing down Koby's neck: You're going to train them to be a marine, RIGHT?
Koby: They are literally a week old.
