One Piece: Garp’s Upcoming Death In The Final Saga, Explained

One Piece: Garp's Upcoming Death In The Final Saga, Explained

As a longtime fan of One Piece, I can’t help but feel that Garp’s time may be coming to an end. With Blackbeard holding him captive and demanding unimaginable concessions from the World Government, it seems like the perfect storm for a dramatic showdown between the Navy and the Pirates.


This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Egghead Arc.

Key Takeaways

  • Garp fought the Blackbeard Commanders and was captured, leading to potential dire consequences.
  • The Marines may reject Blackbeard’s terms, leading to a war for Garp’s freedom.
  • Garp’s potential death in the Final Saga could inspire the next generation of the Navy.

In the climactic tale of “One Piece,” Marine veteran Garp has been taking center stage. Readers were taken aback by the significant part Garp plays in the Final Saga, but it’s proved to be a delightful twist. During the Egghead Island Arc of “One Piece,” Garp took on an essential role. Fans witnessed his strength up close, yet more than that, he became embroiled in a key plot development that is likely to be wrapped up sooner rather than later within the narrative.

Currently, Garp finds himself under the control of the Blackbeard Pirates, and it seems the Emperor harbors malicious intentions towards him. Although he’s currently alive and in good health, there’s a possibility that Garp may meet his end during the Final Saga. If this were to happen, his death would undoubtedly mark the beginning of a new era, much like the one ushered in by Roger.

Garp’s Capture In One Piece Happened On Hachinosu

  • Garp Fought The Blackbeard Commanders
  • Kuzan Took Down Garp

On hearing the disturbing news about Koby being captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, Garp, who holds Koby in high regard as a potential Navy leader and his own protégé, immediately sprang into action. With no time to spare, he gathered a team consisting of SWORD members and other Navy personnel, including Tashigi. They then launched an assault on the Pirate Island with the primary objective of rescuing Koby.

Wavering is a sign of weakness! – Garp

Despite his efforts, it was evident that Kuzan couldn’t match up to his skill level, often finding himself at a disadvantage during combat. This is why the remaining Commanders of the Blackbeard Pirates, present on Hachinosu, chose to unite their forces and mount a joint attack against him.

As a gamer, I can tell you this: Eventually, due to some sneaky moves by Blackbeard Pirates, they managed to wound old man Garp so severely that he couldn’t unleash his full potential in our battle. However, Garp didn’t fail on his mission – he rescued Koby and paved a safe escape path for all the Navy comrades. In essence, Garp sacrificed himself for Koby and ended up at the mercy of Blackbeard Pirates.

Now, Blackbeard can move forward with his strategies, hoping they will lead to the desired agreement with the Navy. Unbeknownst to him, though, the repercussions of this deal could bring darker outcomes not only for him but also for his pirate comrades.

The Marines Are Likely To Reject Garp’s Terms

Currently, Garp is imprisoned on Hachinosu, but this situation won’t last. Firstly, Oda values Garp too highly to allow him to be disrespected or mistreated due to his legendary status and personal connection. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Garp will die in captivity, and he certainly won’t be handed over to the Navy. Blackbeard intends to trade Garp for the recognition of Hachinosu as a country by the World Government, along with becoming an officially recognized sovereign state. However, the World Government can’t possibly name a lawless pirate like Blackbeard as King or acknowledge Hachinosu as an official nation, as it contradicts their principles and would appear as submission to a pirate’s demands in the eyes of the world.

Regardless of Blackbeard’s assumption that his relationship with Garp gives him an advantage, this negotiation won’t be as simple as he might think.

the Navy launching a full-scale attack on Pirate Island with the intention of rescuing Garp and eliminating Blackbeard permanently. While such drastic actions might not have been considered under Sengoku’s leadership, they could certainly be implemented under Sakazuki. Therefore, Blackbeard should prepare for a potential large-scale Navy assault on Pirate Island and a significant conflict ensuing.

In essence, the situation is similar to that of Marine Ford: Just as a pirate named Ace was imprisoned by the Navy headquarters, here a Marine is detained on the largest pirate island worldwide. The pirates in the former instance stormed to free Ace, while the Marines will do so for Garp in this case. Notably, followers of the story know that Ace perished in this conflict, potentially paving the way for Garp’s demise as well.

Garp’s Death Could Inspire The Next Generation Of The Navy

In the Final Saga, there’s a strong possibility that Garp might meet his end. This could occur due to an impending war on Pirate Island, which may involve characters like Koby. Once this conflict ignites, it’s likely that Garp will be released from confinement and re-enter the fray. However, similar to Ace, Garp might choose to sacrifice himself to protect the rising generation. He recognizes his own advanced age and sees the younger generation as more capable at this juncture. Without hesitation, he’d put his life on the line for them, and his death could serve as a catalyst for character development in individuals like Koby and other SWORD Marines.

You guys are the future of the Marines! – Garp

In a similar vein, just as Oda utilized Ace to propel Luffy into his next stage of growth, he could employ Garp similarly to foster growth among Koby and other SWORD members following this loss. Moreover, this development would underscore the mounting menace of Blackbeard, as he’d then have successfully vanquished the Navy on Pirate Island – a conflict that would rank among the most epic battles in the climax of the story and push One Piece to unprecedented heights.
