^I would have mentioned the emperors myself, but we still haven't seen Kaidou yet, so....
Anyways, time for me to take a shot at guessing a marine's past: I think that Garp considered becoming a great pirate himself during his early years. I actually wouldn't find it too surprising, since one of the Romance Dawn one-shots DID show Garp as a former pirate (so Oda might not have completely abandoned that idea). However, I guess he grew out of his rebellious phase eventually and decided to become marine instead..... or something. At least that would also explain why he put Luffy and Ace through all that hellish training when they were kids.....
