Remember when Rocinante explained that the family of the D was considered the natural enemis of the Gods ? ( = 神の天敵 Kami no Tenteki)
Well back in chapter 279, Luffy, a member of the family of D, was Eneru’s ( so God himself) natural enemy since he was immune to his devil fruit’s power
oh my god don’t even…i read a fic of garp fucking raging at sengoku back at navy headquarters when he finds out and it was my life tbh
law sits down to talk with garp but luffy doesn’t give a single shit he’s just like GRAMPS HOLY SHIT and law’s sitting there like i sure fucking hope i don’t die as he and garp just stare at each other for eternity before garp snaps and tries to fucking body law over the table and law’s hastily shambling stuff to try and get away
I was watching/reading Marineford for the umpteenth time and I kept noticing something.
There were multiple times in which Garp told everyone, Luffy included that he has to die before they can rescue Ace.
And it got me thinking.
Maybe Garp was looking for a way out. Making himself more of a target then necessary so he wouldn’t live through this, so he could die with the era, so he would die fighting like the soldier he is, so he didn’t have to feel guilty if Ace died and he was restricted from doing anything about it.
I mean Grap knows who Luffy will choose over him, it wouldn’t even be a question. Luffy does care about his grandfather, but they in no way share the bond the brothers have. And he makes an attempt to stay true to stay a loyal marine but knows it was futile, he couldn’t punch Luffy. Cause hitting Luffy would have stopped him and stopping him meant Ace died. So he was fully ready to take a possible fatal blow/fall for his grandsons.
