Ha! I love how this chapter confirmed that Dragon is indeed Garp’s son and killed the theory that Rocks’ is Dragon’s father and Garp adopted him

Going back to my last post, let’s explore Garp as a character for a bit - since this chapter goes into his connections as it play with his career in the Marines.
Yes. Garp is a legend. He’s the “Hero of the Marines”. He saved the world from Rocks D. Xebec. But what’s interesting is that he got these accolades in the Marines, in spite of not following the rules and doing his own thing. A lot has been said about how much Garp is similar to Luffy. But what is ironic is that despite the perception of him as this grand, heroic figure, he is a complete failure when it comes to raising and mentoring the next generation. And it all comes down to how he approaches life: Garp views every problem can be resolved by just punching it.
Pirates running amok, breaking the law? Punch ‘em, and book ‘em.
Some rookie asking you to train him? Either punch him so he’ll go away, or let him join you in punching battleships.
Your son became a revolutionary? Either punch him when you see him, or take it out on the Marine battleships.
Your grandchildren wanna be pirates? Punch them out of those silly ideas, or take it out on the battleships.
Even Luffy of all people, pointed out that Garp didn’t so much as raise him, Ace, and Sabo, as so much as drop in, punch them, and leave to continue being a Marine. All they learned is to be scared of Garp, rather than understand why he wants them to be Marines - especially if their parents are like Roger or Dragon. He never addressed Ace’s insecurities about his heritage, or whether he really could be anything more than a fiend or a public menace. He just said that being a Marine will make it better, though given that guys like Sakazuki are around, clearly it won’t be better - it’ll just bring new problems.
Garp is also a massive hypocrite since he’s all about his personal freedom to do what we wants and pursue justice his own way. But Dragon, Kuzan, Ace, Luffy and Sabo did the exact same thing as he does, and it led to different outcomes - Garp is outraged at the results and wants them to just do as he told, but is any wonder that they turned out how they did? They just followed his example. The Marines are part of an utterly corrupt and authoritarian institution - which views bloodlines as a determinant as to whether one should be treated as a devil or a god. It wages massive campaigns of slaughter based on whatever is suspected to have the potential undermine their rule. Dragon, Kuzan, Ace, Sabo and Luffy all saw the same things. Garp was confronted with this very contradiction when he had to save the Celestial Dragons from Xebec - but he chooses not to address it. He didn’t give any of his family members or pupils the tools to deal with that at all - because if he did, they’d all be Marines right now! But how does Garp deal with it? Maybe there’s no justifiable answer and he knows it. He can’t bullshit them, or maybe he did, but they never bought it. I’m sure fans are very curious as to why Garp is still involved in the Marines, but more so - what he sees in it? How much has it really changed from when he enlisted? (Maybe not much) Has he treated Coby and Helmeppo any differently from his previous “failures”? Or is there ideological breaks there as well? I mean, Coby’s in SWORD - but we don’t know if Garp is. 
It’s all very interesting. I think that this is what Oda was trying to convey with Garp and Kuzan. More than just “Kuzan has lost his way, can he be redeemed” stuff. Just look back to his talk with Smoker, Kuzan hasn’t actually changed at all. The following chapters will make that clear. But I think we should pay attention to Garp. Beneath the knuckle sandwiches he delivers, and goofy old-guy demeanour, there’s complexity there. We’ll have to see.

Man, These Responses Really Summarizes Their Character
Tumblr media
Helmeppo always the one who questions if they made the right decision, Prince Grus is always looking for validation, and of course Koby is just worrying about those he cares about.

1087 is such a scary chapter. i swear if oda kills off Garp on this island at the hands of the Blackbeard pirates i WILL cry. that is a threat. i cannot bear to see luffy and koby lose someone so important to them. i can't even hate on koby for being pure hearted but DAMN why is he still a liability when we're so close to the end of the story? wasn't he the future of the marines? why is he still being protected by garp?
hoping against all hope that this isn't the end of Garp. if he does, then i doubt there's any hope for Shanks against Blackbeard either. do y'all think blackbeard pirates can win against garp or shanks with the forces they have now? especially since an admiral level member has joined?

Oda went hard with the island island fruit!
It looks amazing combined with the skull on Hachinosu but I fear future islands that Pizzaro will visit may not look as iconic as this panel.

This chapter triggered some PTSD for me.
You know, when Garp jumped to protect Koby, it reminded me a lot of Ace who jumped to protect Luffy.
And of course, both Garp and Ace have to be hurt at the exact same point.
Oda really didn't have to do it again, right? Oda really didn't need to hurt another member of Luffy's family, right?
But, here we go again. It provoked an instant fear. I fear Garp could die.
He could but I'm praying he won't. We need to hear his point of view of the story.
We need to know all the secrets he knows from the Celestial Dragons.
We also need him to punch one of them at the Final War. He also needs to land a punch on Akainu's face. At least once.
No, I'm not saying Garp will be the one to destroy Akainu but he must be allowed to make him feel some pain.
I'm hoping Garp will survive this.
