considering the fact that Monkey D garp is the one who captured Gol. D. rodger and how powerful he is why hasnt he been made an admiral by now because back in the marineford arc when akainu went to kill luffy, garp walked over and was about to kill akainu so sen goku stoped him and by the look of terror on his face it seems as though sen goku believed he must have been capable so that leads me to the question if admirals are simply the strongest marines why is garp not an admiral or why hasnt he been an admiral yet. or do all admirals need to be devil fruit users?

He didnt capture Gold D. Roger, the pirate king turned himself in to the navy.

He already stated that he enjoys being a vice admiral because he can already do everything that he wishes to do in that position. He doesn't feel the need to be promoted, and turned down the option many times.

You need to read past arcs, don't just dive into the war.

i read a few but its been around for a while so there is alot. i will do it bit by bit but there is far too many to just read them all. plus some of the old ones are a bit on the boring side

He doesn't want to be an Admiral because he has more freedom as a Vice Admiral. Everyone in the Marines already respects him anyway.

I caught up completely without skipping anything, it's necessary to actually understand the story.

he refused many offers to be promoted, i personally think his stronger than sengoku,
as other have said he enjoys the freedom (lack of responsibility), and i also think his aware of shitty politics involved so he chose to keep himself out of it

Read chapter 0...

He like freedom and less responsibilities,that's why he don't want to be promoted... In fact he is capable of beating all three admirals in 1v1 fight... He is just laid back(kizaru 2.0)

first of all garp didnt capture the pirate king...roger himself surrendered and the reason hes vice admiral bcoz he refused promotions U_U
