The rivalry between Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger in One Piece is one of the most legendary in the anime’s history. Even though they went on different paths, they remained friends throughout their lives. While Roger became a pirate and earned the title of King of the Pirates, Garp chose to become a Marine.
Garp, who earned the title of Hero of the Marines, collaborated with Roger in the God Valley incident where they defeated the pirate crew known as Rocks. But what’s fascinating about their rivalry is the question of who is the strongest between them, which many fans have debated over time.
In chapter 1079 of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda revealed that Shanks used the Kamusari technique, which is said to have been used by Roger in his lifetime. According to Oda, the Kamusari technique is one of Roger’s strongest techniques, given its devastating effects. In chapter 1080, Oda seems to be teasing the rivalry between Roger and Garp once again.
Garp unleashes the Galaxy Impact technique to destroy Hachinosu Island, and his rage is so intense that it even reaches Shanks, who was far away on Egghead Island. Shanks comments that Garp’s power is equivalent to that of the late King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger. Shanks says that both men were born through a difficult process, and that’s what made them the strong figures they are today.
In conclusion, the legendary rivalry between Garp and Roger in One Piece still captivates fans’ minds. The question of who is stronger between the two remains a mystery, but the fact that they were both strong figures in their own right is undeniable. The Kamusari technique and Galaxy Impact are just a few examples of the incredible strength both of them possessed.
