In chapter 1080 of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda showcased the immense power of Garp, the legendary marine hero. For a long time, the title of the strongest human in the One Piece universe was held by Shirohige, but after seeing Garp’s abilities in chapter 1080, it seems that Eiichiro Oda is telling us that Garp has now taken the lead.
Garp’s attacking prowess in Beehive, as shown by Eiichiro Oda, left fans in awe of the old man’s capabilities. Despite his age, Garp was able to launch an attack that scared the residents of Beehive. With just one blow, Garp destroyed many buildings in the area without relying on devil fruit powers or any weapon. Eiichiro Oda only confirmed that Garp used his well-known high-level Haki to deliver the crushing blow.
The damage caused by Garp’s strike even exceeded the area of destruction caused by the Gura Gura no Mi, Shirohige’s devil fruit power that was capable of leveling entire territories. This means that Garp didn’t even need a devil fruit to inflict damage of that magnitude, making him the new contender for the title of the strongest human in One Piece.
On the other hand, Kurohige, the successor to Shirohige’s power, seems to be hiding in fear from Garp, who is currently in a rage. Koby’s abduction had triggered Garp’s fury, and Kurohige may meet his demise if he decides to face off against Garp.
It’s worth noting that Eiichiro Oda has yet to show Kurohige’s reaction to Garp’s destructive attack. The fact that Kurohige is staying hidden may indicate that he’s doing everything in his power to avoid Garp.
In conclusion, Garp’s show of strength made him the new strongest human in One Piece, surpassing Shirohige’s position. Garp was able to unleash a powerful attack on Beehive, causing destruction that exceeded even the infamous Gura Gura no Mi of his predecessor. With Kurohige’s whereabouts still a mystery, it remains to be seen whether he will emerge from hiding to face Garp or not.
