Garp and Harald are really neat depiction of powerful people with good intentions being thwarted by a system far larger than them. I think it’s no accident that Oda writes in the line from Sengoku that explains that the navy is so incomprehensibly large that it’s basically only united by ideology rather than any sort of personal leadership. Garp kinda reminds me of a good version of Kizaru who believes that he’s just a cog in the machine of the WG’s will but Garp actually uses his personal strength to nurture others to take on the system (kind of hinting back to when we learned that the Roger pirates were “too early” but used the rest of their lives to either prepare for the great war or herald the next generation).
That’s a nice running theme with a lot of the Marine characters, they each have an ideal of what justice is or should be but they inevitably clash with reality. Garp loses faith in the justice preached by the Marines after the God Valley Incident but resolves to stay and protect the low rankers from what they can’t stand up against, only to find he can’t protect everyone when the WG is set to execute Ace. Ultimately he recognizes the limits of his personal justice which is why he’s training the next generation vs Sengoku who’s basically done with trying to change things after retiring.
