Questions Regarding One Piece Fans
The heroic character of the Marine, Monkey D. Garp, has finally made an appearance in the anime One Piece with episode 1114. Garp’s Galaxy Impact attack showcased the destructive power on Hachinosu Island, revealing the potential of the oldest member of the Monkey family. However, it has also raised some questions among the fans of One Piece.
Monkey D. Garp has been a legendary character in One Piece since the very beginning. He is regarded as one of the strongest figures alongside Gol D. Roger and Rocks D. Xebec. However, fans have never truly understood the full extent of his strength until the Marineford arc. This is also the point where many fans began questioning Garp’s principles when he decided to spare the life of his grandson Ace.
This question arose again during the Wano arc when Luffy fought against the two powerful Emperors of the Sea, Big Mom and Kaido. When he continued to mentor his student Koby, who had just escaped from the Blackbeard pirates, Garp once again came under scrutiny for his attachment to Luffy.
Garp’s Relationship with His Grandsons in One Piece
From the moment One Piece began, Garp clearly expressed his desire for his grandsons Luffy and Ace to join the Marines. He even went so far as to train them to become strong Marine officers, so they could survive and stay on the right path. However, both Luffy and Ace always aspired to become pirates since they were young.
Despite this, Ace and Luffy held great affection for their grandfather and consistently cared for him in their own unique ways. This care was evident during the Marineford arc when Garp displayed his deep emotional turmoil regarding Ace’s impending execution and Luffy’s attempt to rescue his brother. This was also Garp’s last major interaction in the One Piece series up to that point.
While Ace died, Luffy had ascended to become a new Emperor, and Garp was left in shock upon hearing that Luffy was fighting against two Emperors at the same time. This showed Garp’s awareness of Luffy’s potential and his belief that his grandson could indeed defeat the two most powerful characters in the series.
The Impact of Ace’s Death on Garp
Garp’s character has always been highlighted for not being able to save his grandsons, Luffy and Ace, during their times of crisis. His latest achievement in episode 1114 of One Piece has sparked debates among fans regarding Garp’s motivations and actions during these crucial moments.
An Instagram account recently shared a video showing Garp’s reactions when Koby was captured and the chaos that ensued, prompting fans of One Piece to discuss their thoughts on the latest episode. While some fans felt disappointed with Garp’s actions, others supported him and expressed their faith in his relationship with Luffy.
Fans commented: “I can’t hate him, but I really don’t like Garp at this point because when Ace was about to die, he didn’t do anything at all. And after Koby got captured, he was really upset.”
“Luffy is his biological grandson, while Koby is his student. That makes a big difference.”, noted another fan.
“That’s why the support from the three brothers can be felt distinctly. And that’s why Garp doesn’t seem to care much about being a Marine,” another user remarked.
The character development of Monkey D. Garp is currently at a peak in the One Piece anime, and as the series progresses, fans will learn more about what he will endure in the subsequent parts of the story. Nevertheless, considering the talent of Eiichiro Oda as a mangaka, the author has laid the groundwork for something significant regarding the Monkey family at the conclusion of One Piece.
