The first time I'm glad there's a break.
Because he still wants to bring Pirates to justice, doesn't mean he has to like the people he works for, especially when he can't realistically do anything about it without bringing the full might of the World Government down on his head.Garp because he keeps beings Marine despite knowing Celestial Dragons are slavemasters
In fairness, I think this is a combination of the fact that Garp is actively involved in the story a lot more often and Oda wanting Dragon to be a bit more mysterious.Dragon is written as an intelligent leader who actually plans things through and doesn't just wage wars haphazardly because he's aware of his responsibilities and the consequences of doing so, and the OP fandom doesn't know how to process that because they're so accustomed to Luffy just throwing himself into battles haphazardly and things just working out for him because plot-armor.
I do wish Oda would have done more to add hype around his fighting power though. When it comes to Garp, Oda has done a lot to constantly emphasize his power and keep his name shining. He's always getting revered as hero of the Marines with guys like Whitebeard, Roger, and Big Mom putting respect on his name, we see him involved in key instances like the God Valley war, and we get those flashbacks where he caves in Chinjao's skull and pulverized mountains as a warm-up.
We don't really get any of that from Dragon. There was that moment where everyone in Marineford was shocked upon finding out Luffy was Dragon's son, but generally none of the top-tiers seem to acknowledge his existence outside of Akainu and the most he has in terms of combat showings is blowing away Smoker at his weakest.
It's over, the REAL powerscaling has begun
Further confirms Afro Luffy was a top tierfucking HAIR SCALING?

If luffy were a regular pirate I'd agree with this notion but luffy is being set up to be a god with the likes of imu, so it doesn't really, in a world of mortals.The fact that the status quo has to be maintained untill Luffy shows up hurts the Worldbuilding in general
I don't agree with this.The fact that the status quo has to be maintained untill Luffy shows up hurts the Worldbuilding in general
The Sea Kings were literally waiting for their Sovereign Rulers and Roger said they reached the One Piece “too early”The fact that the status quo has to be maintained untill Luffy shows up hurts the Worldbuilding in general
