Monkey D Garp, One of the Strongest Characters in One Piece
In chapter 1080 of One Piece’s manga, the actions of Monkey D Garp depict him as one of the strongest characters in the series, even considered on par with Shirohige, the strongest man in the world. Throughout various stories, Vice Admiral Garp has exhibited incredible strength, most notably during the God Valley incident where he defeated vicious pirates like Rocks D Xebec, working alongside his fellow pirate Gol D Roger.
Monkey D Garp is known for his powerful attack known as the Tinju Super, which is said to be capable of leveling mountains with a single hit. This was demonstrated in the destruction of Egghead Island, proving the validity of Luffy’s grandfather’s strength. It is no wonder that after the God Valley incident, the island vanished, attributed to Garp and Shirohige’s immense power.
Many speculate that Garp’s strength is on par with Shirohige, who was declared the strongest man in One Piece, despite Garp not being a Devil Fruit user like Shirohige. Therefore, Garp’s superhuman strength comes merely from his raw power, which allows him even to destroy an entire island like Shirohige did at the Navy’s headquarters.
It is highly likely that Garp’s powerful Tinju Super will be passed down to his students, such as Coby and Helmeppo, or even his beloved grandson, Luffy, who could carry on his legacy. Coby has a significant chance of being the heir to the Tinju Super’s power, seeing as he is a candidate to be Garp’s successor as Vice Admiral. After being honored with the title of hero by the Navy for his actions in the Rocky Port incident, many One Piece fans believe that Coby, with his bounty of 5 billion berries, is a worthy candidate to inherit Garp’s power.
This assumed relationship would mirror the one shared by Garp and Roger, this time featuring Luffy as the pirate king and Coby as one of the Navy’s members in a new era. Therefore, Monkey D Garp is truly a force to be reckoned with in the One Piece universe, and his immense strength and legacy continue to impact the series to this day.
