Everyone's (in the manga) reaction to Garp's revelation about being Luffy's grandfather is priceless.
Garp's reason for being there is up in the air at this point. Can someone confirm that all those people following him are Marines or not?

It's cool though, that Garp still resembles Luffy's grandfather from the one-shot…I kind of hoped he would.
To the question of why he would bring his crew, well, Oda just set us up. Unless you read the spoiler, it would have likely seemed that a fight would be the case, especially with him coming in and punching Luffy.
HOOLLLYY MOTHER F@$%@!$ GAWD!!!
Garp is his Grampa! So Aokiji was talking aboout him the whole time! Wow…no wonder you guys kept talking about Gapr being a D, I wondeed where the hell you got that from.
What a shocker! Now all we need to know is what the ship will look like, if Franky will join and what happens next.
@Onigumo:
and it doesn't makes sense for Garp to suddenly appear and only want to meet his grandson…. after a freaking major event that shocked the core of the world government....
Well, his grandson is nearby and he probably knows that Luffy helped Coby become a Marine, and he probably just wants to spank Luffy the Enis Lobby incident. Besides his face doesn't have an "I'm gonna arrest you" look on it.
Neither did Kuzan, yet after much talking, he figure he just want to eradicate the mugiwaras before they spread like a disease…...
You probably think of Odas first version of One Piece where Luffy got his hat from his grandfather who was a pirate himself.
Heh, you're probably right.
He couldn't have just brought Coby and Helemppo, how could those three steer that large ship by themselves?
I think he meant, why did he have to bring a huge contingent of marines out of the ship just to greet Luffy? I don't see why not though - easier to get through crowds, for one thing… And, um, for potential force if ever that's needed for whatever reason... Oh, and of course drama. It's sooo much cooler to have a huge contingent of people behind you than to just... walk up with 2 people behind you.

geeze, stop thinking like that. Think of Luffy and Ace's personalities and mix it with Garp. Fact is, Garp isn't there to arrest one his grandsons, especially not so quickly. I'm sure Garp is like Smoker or Aokjii. He's probably got his own sense of justice at the very least. If he was there to arrest them, then all of his men would come in and take them then just punch Luffy to wake him up so that he could see him. its better to arrest him while he's sleeping, otherwise there will be a fight that breaks out. At the moment, your thinking real life, think about the Odaverse. How would he deal with it? Just think about that and you know One Piece >.>
Really, if that were true, then what the point of the Admirals? It's pissing on the accomplishments of great people. Yes, clearly not every VA is like Garp, or what Aokiji was in his time.
What's the point of the Admirals? Really you're making some spectacular lapses of logic sometimes.
w00t! I wake up and the chapter is out. Thanks BF!
Mama Miaaaa
I knew that Garp would be Luffy Granfather …
:wub:
no just joking
But what a F@^}@"' surprise.
Next chapter maybe the new bounties. ??
Um, Aokiji was promoted, at least largely because he was so strong. For whatever reason Garp is a VA, we can still assume that not all of them have the strength to confront Roger, else Garp wouldn't be too much of a legend.
And who says what that means anyway? It's very vague what he did, and we don't know how.
I understand there's a big difference between meeting Roger and beating him, but it's clear Garp has some fighting prowess; the common thought floating around this forum is that the VA's live a very cushy lifestyle and are pushovers like Nezumi; I don't agree with that notion at all, and frankly it seems quite idiotic.
I hope not, the whole flag burning thing kinda showed he's a force not to be reckoned with.
Oh, I don't expect Luffy to join, but a higher bounty doesn't seem to me like the WG really understands how much of a threat Luffy is; any bounty in the five hundred million range would be the top 1% of Grand Line pirates, and that sort of number would intimidate anyone.
An invitation into the Shichibukai is indicative of the WG acknowledging Luffy is too powerful to take on without the WG suffering substantial losses; I mean, his forces basically annihilated CP9 and all the forces of Enies Lobby, not to mention holding off two-hundred Marine Captains and being responsible for the destruction of two Buster Call vessels.
Garp before this chapter:
Eh.
Garp this chapter:
HOLY FREAKIN GOD!
Is this the quickest a character became so interesting?
Other thoughts:
Adam the super-tree is going to become the new ship.
Anyone else notice the SH's wearing the shirts with Galley-La's logo? Pretty cool little thing.
Also, where is the cover page?
I don't think anyone figured VAs were pushovers, but if there were six of them standing on the ledge where CP9 was perched, they'd probably have gotten their asses kicked just the same.

I agree….... but I am still kicking myself for not noticing that smile of Garp.... it was there all the time.... and didn't notice it....... which is the trademarks of the D.... they have HUGE smiles.....
Outoftopic: nice avatar from Busou Renkin ;)
! Garp is Luffy's grandpa?! Hmmm…...Let me think.
Vice Admiral Garp's nickname is Garp The Fist (see episode 68, 13:46). Since he is now revealed to be Luffy's Grandfather, he must have a D somewhere in his name. To add, D sounds like the word "the" when spoken really quickly. Therefore can his real name be Garp D. Fist???
Well??? Can it???
WTF This was the biggest thing ever…
But could it be that the translation isn't complete... There is nothing about what Ussop said or think...
and one more...
I don't know why but Zoro looks so bad-ass in the first page...

I can't see any VA getting his ass kicked by Nami.
Holy crap. This is amazing. And at least we know what happened to that money.
"Garp D. Fist" is a great name, and I think you may be dead on with it LastWishBOTD
Also, I was trying to read through this chapter and I'm pretty sure that the giants are going to be returning home soon, and they offered to take Usopp(the King of Sogeki they call him) with them.
Usopp is by far my favorite character, but I really do hope he goes with them. Then we can drop the rest of the cast and follow him around for a few years. He's too cool for the Straw Hats anyways.
On a more serious note, if he did go with the giants he could come back in an arc or two with quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

I still think it'd be the best conclusion to the Usopp side story, him not rejoining right now, but I won't talk about it too much or I'll get accused of "bitching" again by the long nosed cheerleader brigade.

that's actually not a bad idea, a Usopp time skip.
**Awesome chapter.
Garp being the grandfather = is completley awesoeme.
So Garp's a D, huh?
And I believe this chapter pretty much destroys any Luffy > VA theories floating about.
Also, it was never stated that this guy brought down Roger. It only said he cornered him. Plus, whoever said he conered the Roger that the world knows tody. I think, more than likley, he fought against (and almost won) against Roger before Rober reached the strengh he is legandary for.**

Well, it COULD. However, not specifically to bash you LastWish, but as a general statement to the forums…
WHY THE HELL CAN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ANIME BUT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE MANGA IS NOT CANNON!? If it hasn't happened in the manga, it didn't really happen. Ram that thought through your skull and keep it there.
I mean seriously, how many times do we have to hear about Apis joining? Or how Zoro cut steel before alabasta? It was ANIME FILLER. It DIDN'T COUNT.

**What are you talking about…....
::::If those two are Coby and Helmeppo, it seems their looks have changed somewhat, for the better. I wouldn't be surprised if they could commpete wit Luffy/Zoro now. I always felt Coby was destined to do something to Luffy.**
With the 'cornering Roger' line, it makes me believe that Roger gave himself in. We know Whitebeard is the only one to survive a fight of Roger, so that would mean that Garp and Roger never fought each other.
It could also be that Garp was following Roger all the way to Raftel, which Smoker is doing with Luffy at the moment.
Garp them caught him when they reached there, Roger probably handed himself over because he had done it all and seen it all.

A good possiblity.
Um, Voodzik, first of all, calm the hell down.
Secondly, the CobyMeppo anime story is based on the manga cover story, I doubt any of the information there goes against what Oda wrote.
Anyway, I was wondering something that's not about Garp.
If Franky is going to build a ship, it's going to take time. The Strawhats aren't the type to just wait around. especially considering that it's probably not safe. So I'm wondering if they're going to go on some other mini-adventure while it's being built. Maybe Franky will have to sail the ship out to them.
Considering the fact WhiteBeard's the only person to ever tie in a fight with Roger, and is called the strongest man in the world because of that, I highly doubt Garp beat Roger.
@Octogon:
I always felt Coby was destined to do something to Luffy.
In my opinion, Garp came to W7 with Cobby & Hermepp to test their loyalty to the Marines.
I found he was quite nice with Luffy, due to his "You've been reckless" !
So if Cobby has to do something to Luffy, I think Garp would want to see if h'es capable of arresting his old friend.
Otherless, this chapter is so awesome !!!
Luffy is soooo funny when he eats asleep !
If there can only be three Admirals at a time, perhaps Garp is in a Smoker type situation. That is, he's strong enough to be a Admiral, but the three spots have already been filled. that and Garp doesn't seem like the type to shine the Gouresi's shoes.
anyone consdier the possibility of Garp being Rogers dad?
then Roger being Luffy's Dad?
and he cornered his own son?
Wow, Robin cosplaying as Skypiea Nami in the colorspread. Nice. I don't like how Oda's drawing Chopper lately, but gotta say he looks cute there. And that has got be THE most Disney-like elephant I have ever seen.

@Taz:
I want Garp to put Luffy's head through a table
My wish came true~~!
Garp tearing through the mansion like an old screen door is pure comedy. And it's nice to see Zoro might still possess something resembling emotion.
'Omg, this is such cheap knock-off art by some doujin artist!! OBVIOUSLY A FAKE'
lol, Arlong Park.
**Robin was extremly hot in the color spread. Just felt like I neeeded to get that out.
I think Garp might show bounties next chapter. 2 days should be enough for them to process bounties.**

it'll either be a mini-time skip or we'll just find out that Franky can build a ship in a week.

2 cents
I love this chapter. It allows for so much speculation.
First off: No way will garp arrest luffy. Garp is NOT a justice nazi. He pardoned helmeppo when he allowed morgan to escape and recognized the true dreams of helmeppo and coby, allowing them to become his proteges.
If Garp were going to arrest luffy, he would have struck him with the "fist of JUSTICE," not the grandfatherly "fist of LOVE." Unlike justice, love bypasses all defenses ;)
Also, Garp is grandpa. However, that does NOT prove that he is a D. There are still 3 other unknown grandparents from whom ace and luffy could have inherited the Will of D.
Speculation: Gol D. Roger is luffy's other grandfather. Roger's daughter and Garp's son met and fell in love. Roger, having made it around the world in time for his daughter's wedding would not miss it for any price. Garp, also at the wedding would have informed roger that his daughter's life would be forever in danger from government persecution unless Roger turned himself in. Roger agreed and gave himself to the authorities to protect his family.
This explains how Garp "cornered" Roger, and how the most powerful man in the world got caught and executed by the government. I think Garp was so moved by this act that he lost his faith in the WG, which would explain his lenience towards subordinates, his lackadaisical attitiude towards Duty, and his rank being capped at VA despite his amazing power.
The progeny from this marriage of WG and D, ace and luffy (who were born 2 and 5 years after rogers death) gained the ability to eat their own weight in a single sitting from the D (think blackbeard), narcolepsy from Garp (blackbeard hasn't shown this trait, while luffy, ace, and garp have), and insane physical prowess from both sides of the family.
It works by theory.
But my theories never tend to be validated by later discoveries. Oh well, whatcha think?
huh a ship built in a week? Oh well this is Odaverse anything is possible.
And Katana there is no cover when there's color spread.
kljs you've got to be one of the most annoying people around here. Would you just stop please? We ALL already know what you think it's going to happen.DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO REPEAT IT IN EVERY POST? v glavo tepeno budalo.

thx for the new chapter realease!

Gol D. Roger died about 5 years before Luffy was born.

That was filler, but it's probably paralelling Ace's nickname. You know: "Fire Fist" Ace.
It's probably Dog D. Garp. Look at his hat and look at his ship. And most of the D's have an animal in their name.
Also, Garp is grandpa. However, that does NOT prove that he is a D. There are still 3 other unknown grandparents from whom ace and luffy could have inherited the Will of D.
I thought exactly the same thing… I still believe he is a D but we have to wait up and see next week

Haha, I just made a thread which para-quoted the same theory you posted in the other thread. :P
I like the idea of Usopp going with the Giants to Elbaf. I was disappointed after he supposedy "left" the crew, only to find him pretty much stuck and working with them again, only with a stupid disguise.
Alone-time would be good for Usopp. See him making it on his own a bit before coming back.
That crew could build a ship in 2 days…particularly because this is fiction.
hmmm
! garp being luffy's grandfather is a real fucking shock to me
That crew could build a ship in 2 days…particularly because this is fiction.
2 days still too long for fiction….. maybe if the whole of Gallery-La helped, one day might be possible......
