So. I'm going to throw out a completely baseless theory.
Ao Kiji said that he owes a debt to Luffy's Grandfather. Garp has been revealed to have "cornered the Pirate King". Maybe Kuzan was defeated by Roger, and Garp saved him, then captured/cornered Roger. Thus forming a debt.
Like I said. Completely baseless.
Best chapter in ages. And I think that Luffy chose to stab himself under his eye to prove himself because he was impressed by the scar of his grandpa. That's 430 chapters of foreshading, largest to date.
Doubt there would be a fight.though i hope maybe a little demonstration of how cool coby have become. Oda is fricking awesome!gonna be the longest week ever waiting for chapter 432.btw,is the long haired guy with split chin,the one below Coby? in page 19 supposed to be helmeppo?
there is going to be a fight…... marine vs pirates..... did someone forgot that they are natural enemies?
I think that Luffy's bounty has not increased yet, and so that Garp just knows about the Arabasta affair, but ignores at the time that the strawhats rampaged on enies lobby… And that he will find out when he leaves Luffy to return to his marine duty...
I think too that he just wants Luffy to meet his old friend Cobby...
But I could be wrong
is the long haired guy with split chin,the one below Coby? in page 19 supposed to be helmeppo?
I believe so.
Hellmeppo is the only person that Oda's drawn with that chin.
At least to my memory.
Man, I love this comic book.
wait how the hell did garp know luffy was at water 7? i have a feeling he is there to meet luffy since he probably hasn't seen him in a very long time but also to tell him that the marines are coming to kill him. it's probably going to be one of those i will give you a headstart before i chase you type deals. if garp knows he is at water 7 then so does the other marines. it would be really cool if Akainu was the one that was coming to get them. also hopefully garp is going to show luffy and the crew they're new bounty's.
he could have used a small warship, and be discreet or something. yet he brought his marines and his dogface warship…...
Aokiji said he's "hard to grasp", and coming from Aokiji it means something. Garp strikes me as the kind of guy who do whatever he wants, be it mobilizing his warship and personal troops to have one of his younger recruits meeting an old friend, even if this friend is his grandson who also just escaped a Buster Call.
Seriously, we just went out from 30 chapters of fighting, they escaped from a Buster Call yet you want them to engage in battles again? As I said it's time for a family and friends meeting, not for fights.
I going with Garp introducing Coby & giving the SH their new bounties. I'm undecided on whether I think they'll fight or not (I hope they don't fight, at least not a long fight).

so, already 30 chapters of fighting, so another 10 more chapters of fighting would be nothing…... it's just goes to show how serious the invasion of Enies Lobby is......

I agree with Aldrich, time for rest and funny situations
BTW, the marines have failed with Buster Call, maybe it's time for a shichibukai to solve the strawhat problem… Doflamingo maybe?
There is bound to be some skirmishes… to think anything else would be foolish... (Pirates Vs Marines after all). Nothing major, but just a small one until everyone understands the situation.
I mean if Ussop and Zoro come back...all what they'll see are marines outside of the building and they'd engage them.
Something tells me that Garp's men are loyal to him...and that's it. So they'll be willing to let Luffy go as well. No doubt they all admire him and with them being in the grandline, he has probably helped saved their lives on more than one occassion.
from what I seen, it's going to be non-stop action from here on till the end….. when you do serious stuff, you get serious people coming after you.... even if it is FAMILY......
Doflamingo will go after the Straw Hats on his own….and I personally think it'll be soon. Maybe the next mega arc. For now, let's jut see where this Garp situation goes.
Riding a Rhino is safer so we Ride a Hippo for Adventure!

Hopefully another Warlord will accompany Doflamingo because it's gonna take forever to beat the other Warlords if One Piece keeps up this pace. I agree with u, can't wait to see what Garp is up to.
I like the OP pace so far. Luffy is building his legend. It's not like DBZ…...OMG! He can destroy planets now!

AWESOME Thanks StrawHatLuffy
The spread color is awesome too….........Robin kinda reminds me of Sei from Bakuretsu Tenshi in this spread
Anyway, this was trully a shocking chapter, the most shocking ever since we found out who CP9 members are......which is like a year ago
Anyway, this means that Franky haven't build his 'dream' ship which means that the Strawhats will have to remain on the island for quite some time......what will they do?.......what will Garp do?.......Can't wait for next chapter
I like the OP pace so far. Luffy is building his legend. It's not like DBZ…...OMG! He can destroy planets now!
I meant like taking one long arc just to beat one Warlord, that's all. I like One Piece's mostly rapid pace, keeps you interested, ya know?
Thanks, StrawHatLuffy!
OMG that was so cool, and Helmeppo's hair is fairly normal now [him being that dude ofc].
I say he came with a huge ship because he wanted to suprise Luffy, or maybe he could only bring Coby and Helmeppo if he tricked the HQ using big ships, dunno about that.
Anyways I don't think Garp is a D, since I don't think he will let a family member being executed [if the D passes with genes]..
The end was way too exciting, I know, but why didn't anyone mention the fact that Franky isn't even thinking of joining? Did you already discuss it to the bone in the spoilers or something? Well, I'm shocked here! Even if it's like that, Usopp was the same way [thought Luffy invited him right on], so maybe when things cool down Luffy [and possibly Usopp] will twist him to an anti-Vivi.
BTW, I think Helmeppo and Coby are gonna snap when they'll hear about Garp and Luffy [if they don't know about it].
P.S. I took tons of time to write this, so if someone said it first dont choke me please =3
Oh man, I love this chap! Best in ages (Oda always suprises us by making better and better chaps) But this… Sanji looks priceless, I love his face in that last panel. But who wouldn't? I love this so much.
And if they even dare to fight, I'll shoot my head off.
Thanks Battle Franky!
Oh wow, Garp is Luffy's grandpa. I was thinking that he could be someone in the marine ranks, but I never thought it would be him.
Also, so now we finallly know what Franky spent the money on. No big surprise there, I always assumed it was going to be something to do with building a ship. Mmm, special wood. It's nice to finally stop wondering.
I feel somewhat refreshed to be on to something new. It's a good feeling. 
As much as I am grateful for the spoiler translation, there's still pages and dialogue untransalted that I really want to see.
This is what I'm talkin' about.
Whoa, a chapter that actually made me think? When was that last time this happened?
I think this revelation finally puts to rest the nonsense that Marine Vice Admirals are "weak"; Saul wasn't too bad himself and Aokiji had a Logia Devil Fruit, but now we have Garp who went toe-to-toe with Roger.
…
Anyway, methinks this would be a good time for Oda to "pop the question", that is, give Luffy an invitation into the Shichibukai.
Robin-chawn awwwwwww
This week chapter has flipped everything..I like that keeps the series fresh
Thanks for the raw Strawhat Luffy.
HOLY SHAT!!! THE RETURN OF COBY AND HELMEPPO!!! (that HAS to be them saying "yes sir"–notice Helmeppo's buttchin?)
And GARP is Luffy's friggin' GRANDFATHER!!!!!!!!! Oda strikes again!
Say, how do you think Luffy got downed with a bump from a punch? Maybe there's a trick? DF? Or this crappy "Fist of Love"? I'm confused ><

I'm not so sure.
Not that I'm doubting Garp's strength, but I'm not so sure he went toe-to-toe with Roger. The translation says he "cornered him." Who says there was a fight?
It could be that Roger surrendered. If it's true that everyone in Luffy's family carries a D, and if it turns out that Garp has a D too… would you fight a father/brother/uncle if he was the one that cornered you?
There's a great lighthearted vibe around here, because no matter how serious we might get, we're all together because of some magical pirate.
All One Piece fans are going crazy about this. I love my no-life living. After all this EL kung-fu, asura and flaming foot-things, this is something so fresh.
btw, in page 20 Luffy looks like Naruto when he holds his forehead 
Priceless.

Anyone who had a conflict with Roger and survived is amazing. The only other person to have done so is Whitebeard, and we certainly know his place in the world.
But, jeez, how can people be so dense? We've seen three Vice Admirals thus far with clearly a high degree of fighting prowess, as well as two hundred or so Marine Captains with simmilar abilities and Devil Fruits.
The Gorosei might be weak because they're politicians, but there's no way the BC VA's are weaklings; they're half the danger, if not the full danger of the BC.
But that SO has to be Helmeppo in that double frame.

or maybe Garp survived because he "caught" Roger…....which would explain the scar on his face......

Garp knows the type of person his grandson is, anyone that knows Luffy knows he'll stick around at the scene of the crime and party. Not to mention they still have no ship. I think Garp is there on unofficial business.

I agree no more fighting. However, how can you complain about people expecting some? There are marines and pirates in the same area, and one of them just punched Luffy in the head. That drama will always be there.

Ah, this old arguement again. No, I still don't like the 5 Buster Call Vas. They are still most likely weaker then Lucci–which come to think of it is hardly weak anyway. And I greatly disgree the the VAs as a whole as a superpower. The Admirals got to be known as a powerful rank because there are 3 of them, but with the VAS there are too many to count. After all, they all can't be the same level of strength and ability can they? They are all at least "up there" I'll give you that.
Therefore, it's more likely that there are just a few extraordinary VAs who are legends on their own–like Garp! He's how you do a powerful VA! As soon as he enters, he's the talk of the town, the man who cornered Roger, and punched Luffy in the head. Badass. So much cooler then those last 5 VAs. This is what distingushes the great from the lame in One Piece.
And some people are asking, why was is a Vice Admiral and not an Admiral that cornered Roger? well, maybe Garp is a better tactician then say, Aokiji (who actually would be lower right at the time..) or SenGoku. Maybe he set a great trap that the Admirals weren't smart enough to make. It's not like the Admirals are all "jacks of all trades." Aokiji is a strong ice fighter with a weird plan, and really nothing else. see, rank isn't that big a deal, it's the individuals.
I think this revelation finally puts to rest the nonsense that Marine Vice Admirals are "weak"; Saul wasn't too bad himself and Aokiji had a Logia Devil Fruit, but now we have Garp who went toe-to-toe with Roger.
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.
Anyway, methinks this would be a good time for Oda to "pop the question", that is, give Luffy an invitation into the Shichibukai.
I hope not, the whole flag burning thing kinda showed he's a force not to be reckoned with.

he's a vice admiral with his own personalised ship. why wouldn't he use it? i'm sorry but you seem to be the ONLY person that think there's gonna be more fighting and i disagree/i'm in with the majority of AP'ers.
don't forget… Garp also seems to know how to use Soru.... judging from the way he got to Luffy past Sanji, Chopper and Franky........

hell i didn't even think of this… it makes sense sending luffy one of his relatives instead of any other Marine. Luffy wouldn't even listen to someone else. He would start a fight right away not thinking about how strong his opponent might be.

Amen. It really pissed me off when so many people assumed that the VAs on the Buster Call could own the crew in the same way that Aokiji did, or that they were so close to all the Admirals.
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.

because it doesn't makes sense for Garp to bring all his subordinates, when he could have just brought Corby and Helmeppo with him…..
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....
you don't just close one eye to the person that invaded Enies Lobby and escape one of the powers of the Marines, the Buster Call and get away with it.... no matter how you see it......
marines will be marines and pirate will be pirates....... Corby will probably protest to not apprehending Luffy now.... maybe he will even say he will fight Luffy........ there and then......
even if Garp and Luffy are related, there is no sense in meeting, yet not fight after all the mushy reunion stuff....... at the end of the day..... Garp is a marine, Luffy is a pirate....... they are NATURAL enemies.........

I thought of this know. Maybe this invitation would bring up again the Luffy x Blackbeard tension… By the way, who knows if he has already captured a 100m Belly head?
Awesomeness - and not just because of the revelations! This chapter's just chocked full of stuff - potential new ship made by an apprentice of Tom, using the wood from the same tree for the keel… then Garp comes in, followed by what looks like Koby and Helmeppo! On page 19, he said in the caption - wait here, both of you (according to the spoiler trans)...
Then of course I'm also shocked to find he is Luffy's granpa. I thought Luffy said at one point his grandfather was a great pirate?? O_O
Lotsa love to this chapter 
Thanks for the uploads!

You probably think of Odas first version of One Piece where Luffy got his hat from his grandfather who was a pirate himself.

Yes probably. This could be a good start for the Blackbeard arc.

He couldn't have just brought Coby and Helemppo, how could those three steer that large ship by themselves?
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.
