I like that Oda added this entire sequence with Dadan and Garp, and it's honestly my favorite Dadan moment in the manga. She may have been kind of a shitty guardian, but at the end of the day she knew her boys and supports them wholeheartedly, which is something Garp was never able to do.
If you go back and look at this entire sequence of pages, Dadan is always presented as bigger and more imposing than Garp. She's right and they both know it, and in a reversal of their power dynamic all those years ago when the boys were foisted on her against her will, Garp has been made small while she towers over him, physically and morally.
