tired of seeing comments saying that garp chose his job as a marine over saving ace. Ace and Luffy decided to become pirates, FULLY AWARE that they made themselves enemies to the world government. which is WHY garp was always insisting they became marines so he could PROTECT THEM. So when Ace was turned in by Blackbeard, Ace knew he was bound to be executed bc it was just a matter of time before everyone knew who his father was. Sengoku knew what kind of a man whitebeard was so he went ALL OUT, deploying the best of the best. Garp, who was hailed as the hero of the marines, was Ace's enemy despite the familial bond they shared deeply. He was just waiting for Ace to call for his help and he wouldn't think twice before doing so. but ace doesn't want to do that. rather, he won't do that. ace was aware of what Garp is capable of, as a man, as a grandfather and as a fighter. Ace was aware of what position and rank garp was willing to let go of just so he could save Ace, and he could not possibly stomach it, now then, not now. He had chosen his path and there's no turning back. Ace had allies, the wb pirates, and luffy + the impel down escapees. and they almost won. however, akainu knew that by provoking wb would make Ace return to the battlefield. So when Akainu striked ace, garp forgot his position, everything. Ace was his grandson, who he was bound to protect. Sengoku knew what Garp could do, so he held him back. So yeah, there is no one to blame for Ace's death but himself. Ace had fallen right into Akainu's trap, ultimately leading to his death.
