As a longtime fan of One Piece, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia as I witness the events unfolding. It seems that fate has come full circle, with Garp finding himself in a position strikingly similar to Ace during the Paramount War. Just like Ace, Garp is now the one who stands captive, his life hanging in the balance.
This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
Key Takeaways
- Blackbeard killed Thatch and planned to capture Luffy.
- Garp and Ace were facing similar situations of being torn between duty and family.
- Garp’s capture could lead to a major war in One Piece, with his fate uncertain.
The Final Saga of One Piece has surprisingly spotlighted the character of Garp, who happens to be Luffy’s grandfather and also holds a legendary status within the Marines. Notably, he is not just a Marine; he shares a special bond with Ace, his other grandson, which adds depth to their relationship in this storyline.
The tale of Garp and Ace was undeniably somber, particularly during the Paramount War Saga where Garp grappled with his love for his family against his commitment to the Marines. Ultimately, Garp prioritized family over duty, but Ace perished nonetheless. Now, it seems that Garp is facing a similar predicament, and readers may have observed that Oda is subtly echoing the dynamics between Garp and Ace in a striking manner, a parallelism that has probably become apparent to them by this stage of the narrative.
How And Why Ace Got Captured In One Piece
- Blackbeard Killed Thatch
- Blackbeard Planned To Capture Luffy
As an ardent fan, I’d like to share my perspective about the extraordinary pirate, Ace. Before the two-year timeskip in “One Piece”, Ace was hailed as a prodigy and a beacon of the upcoming generation. His influence on the high seas was undeniable, earning him a staggering bounty of 550 million berries. It’s not hard to imagine that he would have claimed the title of Pirate King or even surpassed it, had he lived a longer life.
You broke the iron rule, Teach! – Ace
Ace certainly succeeded in finding Blackbeard, but defeating him was an entirely different question altogether. Blackbeard was a force that could even take down Whitebeard eventually, and was hiding in his shadows. Ace realized quickly that he could not take down Blackbeard completely. However, he could not turn back from this battle, not because of Thatch, but because of Luffy. It was made clear in the story that Blackbeard was targeting Luffy at this point. Had Ace turned back, Blackbeard would have targeted Luffy and turned him over to the World Government in order to claim a position as a Warlord.
As a devoted follower of Luffy’s pirate crew, I could never abandon Ace, my fellow sea rover. Facing Blackbeard was inevitable, and though I fought valiantly, I was ultimately defeated and captured. The World Government then took custody of Ace, setting his execution date. Typically, a pirate would be confined to Impel Down, condemned to an eternal existence. However, given Ace’s bloodline – the blood of the Pirate King – his elimination was crucial for the World Government. This led to the outbreak of the Summit War, where Whitebeard, alongside his entire crew, charged the Navy Headquarters, aiming to free Ace and annihilate the Marines.
This war was simply extraordinary, running smoothly from beginning to end, yet its outcome failed to please the spectators. Ace sacrificed his life in order to shield Luffy, while Ace’s savior, Whitebeard, also perished in the process. Shanks finally brought an end to this magnificent conflict, marking the close of a remarkable age for piracy.
How Garp Mirrors Ace In The Post Timeskip Of One Piece
Garp And Ace’s Situations Are Quite Alike
In much the same way that Oda utilized Ace before the time skip, it seems he’s employing Garp in a comparable fashion now. Just as Ace was apprehended prior to the time skip, it appears that Garp is about to experience the same fate. This twist of events is rather ironic, considering Garp struggled with balancing duty and family during the Paramount War, and now finds himself in the role Ace once held, potentially facing battles for his survival soon. Despite their intentions differing somewhat, Garp finds himself mirroring Ace’s predicament.
Fans understand that Ace couldn’t abandon Luffy during his battle against Blackbeard, just as Garp couldn’t ignore Koby and recognized him as the future of the Marines, which is why he personally arranged for Koby’s escape. In the Great Pirate War, Ace rescued Luffy, and on the Pirate Island, Garp saved Koby. Luffy managed to leave Marineford, whereas Koby escaped from the Pirate Island. Tragically, Ace perished on the island, while Garp was apprehended there.
Do you know who you guys captured? Koby is the future of the Marines! – Garp
Fans are aware that the conflict was instigated for Ace’s sake, implying another battle may erupt in One Piece, this time centered around none other than Garp. Previously, pirates had initiated and pushed the war onto Marine territories.
This time, Marines are set to engage in a conflict that will extend to the strongholds of the pirates. Earlier, the lives of pirates were in peril, now it’s the turn of the Marines. Previously, the destiny of the pirate community was at risk, and this time, the esteemed Hero who has already etched his name in history faces a threat to his reputation and honor.
Regardless of how fans look at it, a war is most definitely going to be fought over Garp, and the Marines are coming for Blackbeard.
The Result Of Garp And Ace’s Capture In One Piece
Garp Could Potentially Die Soon In One Piece
If Oda intended to eliminate Garp, he would have done so long ago. Given that Garp has managed to stay alive, it’s likely that his part is yet to unfold. It could be that he will meet his end in the impending conflict while performing a crucial action, or maybe he will endure and fight against the Celestial Dragons at a later stage. In any case, Garp seems destined for a significant role in the approaching war, hinting that Oda has a substantial storyline planned for him.
Regarding who will emerge victorious in the imminent war, it’s hard to predict with certainty. However, considering the situation mirrors the Paramount War, it seems the defending party may prevail. Additionally, fans are aware that Blackbeard is a formidable opponent that the Marines cannot defeat easily. This implies that if the Navy attacks Pirate Island, they might suffer losses and possibly fail to free Garp. Even in the event they succeed, the Marines are likely still at a disadvantage due to the threat Blackbeard poses to Luffy.
