It is clear that he is very powerful due to his fights with Gol. D Roger. He
is also very experienced in fighting and has the confidence to defeat Admiral
Akainu (magma).

So why hasn't he been promoted to Admiral? Did he deny the promotion when the
option was given to him? Or was it because he lacked a Devil Fruit?

Note: All of the Admirals has a Devil Fruit. Golden Buddha, Magma, Ice, Light.

question
one-piece
Why is Garp only a Vice Admiral?


He refused to be promoted to Admiral several times.

In Chapter 0 (Strong World), he said that he had the freedom to do what he
wants that he needed as a Vice Admiral (being the third highest rank in the
Marines) and felt being promoted would just require him to do extra things
that he had no interest in.

Garp feels that the perks of being a Vice Admiral (mainly the high level of
freedom) is worth more than being an Admiral, who are often used to guard the
Tenryuubito (who I could imagine Garp would despise).

He's probably stronger than the current Admirals though. Remember in
Marineford when Sengoku personally had to restrain him? That basically says he
was scared of what Garp would do to Akainu.

Admirals work directly under the celestial dragons..since garp doesn't wants
to serve them,he rejected the admiral offer so many times.
