I have to agree, based on how early we knew Garp to be a few apples short of a fruit salad. Harken back to Coby's cover story, when he was just plain old Vice Admiral Garp. Morgan escaped his custody while he was sleeping. Not very vice admiral-like of him. Only when we learned he was Luffy's grandfather did everything make sense. I realize Garp has had a bit more development than Dragon. What I'm trying to point out is how fast some of that happened. We learned about Garp's negligent side within the first few panels of his appearance. Same goes for Luffy. With Dragon, we got no quirks. Sort of like he got bored half way through a Shakespeare monologue.
