headcanon that the asl bros remember some parts of their marine training
sabo has easier time during infiltration missions with the marines cause he knows the slang, no idea where from tho (mostly ace and a bit of garp)
on rare occasions ace fights without fire (early after eating the fruit or if there's seaprism stone around) he will use weird a mix of feral jungle kid and textbook marine techniques
luffy knows that the best way to get through a reinforced door at a navy base is through the wall next to it and a few other weaknesses (garp didn't mean to say it)
This is the funniest thing and also kind of beautiful because at least when Garp finds out about whatever these three idiots did this time, he'll be like "fuck, I can't be angry it's my fault they know these things" and then he'll laugh in the loudest way bc he's actually kind of sort of proud of them. Kind of. Also, Sabo infiltrating as a marine is something that has definitely happened. Sabo got the knowledge, Ace got the fighting skills, Luffy got random top secret information that should NEVER be revealed under any circumstance but Garp was just feeling silly that day.

I do believe that things Garp has done to Luffy are shown through such rose coloured glasses that we don't realize how it affected him. When Sanji said "I can see where his passion to live no matter what comes from" (Not the exact translation but it's close lol) he was not joking or being a comedic relief at all. Luffy was thrown to places he couldn't get out at all in his age by Garp. Dark forests, pits etc. He was seven years old when we saw his childhood first in the show but Garp was probably educating him for much longer. Imagine being a powerless five years old and being thrown into a wild forest at night, seriously no wonder Luffy does everything to live. Dragon is a better father figure than Garp and he wasn't even present LOL

scene in The AU Where Ace Thinks He’s Garps Bio Son that’s just a darkly silly mirror of his canonical suicidal “asking people in bars abt roger” but but he’s looking for opportunities to brag abt garp and getting into subsequent nonsense and occasional violence as a result

In reference to a previous ask you replied to, I'm so glad to find somebody else who thinks Garp is a shitty awful parent. He was so awful to Luffy but I keep seeing people going "oh he was such a good guardian".
I hate that trope in anime where you have a parent who tries to train their kid to be strong, but instead of doing it in any even slightly good way, they just beat and try to murder their kid and then the anime tries to pull the stupid "and the near constant death made me stronger, and that's why I love him." It's like NO, that man abused you and you need help.
(this is why Tekken is so good. Heihachi does the same to Kasuya, but instead of Kasuya loving his dad for dropping him off a cliff, Kasuya almost dies, makes a deal with a devil, spends the entire series waging literal war against Heihachi and trying to kill him)
You know who was a good guardian who actually properly and lovingly trained their child to be stronger? Kyros. The way Soldier-san cared for a trained Rebecca is the absolute peak of the parent-training-their-child trope because he actually did care for Rebecca and trained her to fight but made it clear that he wouldn't hold back in fighting because her opponents wouldn't either. (I'm also not done with Dressrosa yet, but im getting there).
Yeah. I have..... Some issues with Garp. Not as a character because I do love the way he's written and I think he's extremely complex (and also enjoy his scenes because, look, he's hilarious and his bond with Koby and Helmeppo makes me sob). He's just a shitty guardian. And hey, that doesn't mean he doesn't love his kids, but, uh, yeah. Love doesn't always fix everything. You can't "raise" a kid however you want and excuse it with love. Garp isn't a bad, horrible person for the mistakes he made, but he is not a good parent. He should've known better. I think he's facing the consequences of his actions right now in the manga and he did suffer most of them already after Marineford, so I usually don't talk that much about him. The man is tired. Not justifying what he did, but you know, at least he is aware of his mistakes and he is not actively being a horrible person.
The trope you mention bothers me so so much. I have no idea about Tekken but, you know, I get it. I hate when the writing ends up justifying that behavior when it comes to parenting.
Kyros my beloved, btw. I absolutely love him. He did so so good with Rebecca... I hope you enjoy the rest of the arc!!! The pacing is really meh but the amount of Doffy and Law we get (and a very specific Usopp scene that is one of my favorites from the whole show) and the awesome backstories make it worth it. Friendly reminder that right after Dressrosa comes Zou and then Whole Cake Island. And I say this because WCI is my favorite arc and if I don't mention this every time I have the chance I die.

Nami is of course our navigator and we love her here. So badass. I love the way she uses everything to her advantage. Smart girl.
