Garp is not a good person or a bad one. He just loves to fight pirates; helping people is just a side perk. He is just too deep in his career as a Marine that he became comfortable ignoring shit others do. Now failing to help Ace, he is putting all the responsibility into a new generation he hopes will do better than him.
