As Monkey D Garp grew older, he still had to face dangerous missions such as rescuing Coby, who was being held captive by Blackbeard’s pirates on Hachinosu Island. Even though Monkey D Garp was a powerful figure, he admitted that his strength had waned from his prime years, and many fans believed that Hachinosu Island would be the end for him.
However, Monkey D Garp had strong students who he trained with all of his might, and he knew that they would help him in any way possible to save Luffy’s friend Coby. Here are the top 5 strongest students of Monkey D Garp in One Piece that will help the old man in his mission:
1. Coby: As one of Garp’s favorite students, Coby was expected to eventually become the next hero of the Navy. He was also Luffy’s friend, and Garp went on a solo raid to Hachinosu Island to rescue him after he was kidnapped by Blackbeard during a mission to capture Boa Hancock.
2. Kizaru: According to Kizaru, he is one of Garp’s students in One Piece. However, his decision to join Blackbeard’s pirate group made him fight against his former mentor, Garp. Their battle seemed like a camouflage to hide the fact that Kizaru was impersonating a former admiral, so Kurohige would not discover his true identity.
3. Prince Grus: As another one of Garp’s students, Prince Grus was envious of Luffy’s involvement in the rescue of Coby, who he also trained. Although Prince Grus participated in the mission, he was unhappy that Coby was considered Garp’s favorite student. This was due to the fact that Coby was a senior to him in the Navy and had already become one of Garp’s students.
4. Helmeppo: Though Coby was the stronger of the two, Helmeppo was still well-trained by Monkey D Garp himself. The former nemesis of Luffy had evolved into one of the Navy’s strongest fighters thanks to his training with Monkey D Garp. Helmeppo was one of the people who was determined to rescue Coby from Hachinosu Island.
5. Bogard: An accomplished swordsman, Bogard had trained both Helmeppo and Coby personally and had become one of Monkey D Garp’s most promising students. Since Luffy’s heroics, Bogard had risen to become Garp’s right hand in the Navy. His and the other student’s mettle will be tested during the Hachinosu Island mission.
In conclusion, Monkey D Garp was not alone in carrying the burden of saving Coby from Blackbeard’s pirate group. His strong students were willing to risk their lives and help him because they saw him as more than just their mentor. With the combined strength of the students and the legendary Monkey D Garp, they would embark on their mission and discover if Hachinosu Island would indeed be their final resting place.
