Summary

One Piece’s Egghead arc has delivered another visual spectacle of an episode showcasing that Luffy’s GrandpaGarpis still capable of decimating entire cities with one of thebiggest attacks the series has seen yet. The latestOne Piecearc has featured several surprises, including dramatic ends for Law and Kid’s dreams of reaching the series' ultimate treasure. However, another intense side-story away from Luffy and Vegapunk’s conflict sees Vice Admiral Garp proving the strength that earned him the title “Hero of the Marines.”

Koby had been captured and held captive by Blackbeard’s formidable crew, and episode #1114 ofOne Piecefinally shows who was willing to risk everything for his rescue: Luffy’s Vice Admiral Grandpa Garp. His strength is considered legendary from his past accomplishments, but hisGalaxy Punch and entrance on Hachinosu (Beehive) Islandwill stick with viewers for a very long time.

Many ofOne Piece’s strongest characters wield Devil Fruits, which gives them superpowers, but on the other hand, there are characters like Garp who have no magical abilities. Instead, Garp’s colossal raw strength and world-class control of Haki, which were on display in “For the Beloved Pupil—The Fist of Vice Admiral Garp!” surpass the legends fans of the series have heard about the character so far.

Using his incredible strength, Garp sent his ship far into the air to get into a better position for his grand entrance. With fellow Marines helping to save Koby, many enemy pirates were trapped and unprepared for the weapon of mass destruction above them. With the might of a city-destroying bomb,Garp’s single Galaxy Impact punch obliterated dozens of buildingsand a massive section of the island. The attack dazzled with extremely fluid animation, impact frames, and even a glimpse of the galaxy before the attack landed a devastating blow against Koby’s captors.

In his youth, Monkey D. Garp rose up the ranks of the Marines and became famous for his battles with and againstOne Piece’s former Pirate King. While fans are still waiting to see the entire God Valley incident, it’s famous for the Roger-Garp team-up that took down the Rocks Pirates, which included monstrously powerful pirates like Kaido, Big Mom, and the mysterious Rocks D. Xebec. According to Garp,his Galaxy Impact attack in episode #1114 didn’t measure up to his skills at his prime, a vast level of power that would have been necessary to accomplish what he did.

There are many to choose from but the best One Piece episodes have fantastic animation, epic villains, and significant events taking place.

Garp’s capabilities had been shown but to a much lesser extent after Luffy and his crew saved Robin from the group of deadly government assassins, providing some ofOne Piece’s best fights. Then, audiences learned that Luffy’s grandpa is a legendary and high-ranking marine. At first, he let his grandson go until he was pressured to pursue the Straw Hat crew, prompting him to throw cannonballs with greater force than traditional cannons. While that was a marvel to behold, in hindsight, the cannonball feat looked meek compared to the Galaxy Impact attack on Hachinosu.

After Luffy made it clear that he wouldn’t become the Marine Garp wanted, he seemed to find the training protégé he’d always wanted in Koby.One Piece’s author gave Koby a great backstorythat was easy to miss, but as manga readers know, he’s become a powerhouse worthy of being Garp the Fist’s apprentice. Vice Admiral Garp’s Galaxy Impact attack might be the flashiest attack theOne Pieceanime has produced so far, but Koby may someday surpass it.
