The *One Piece* manga is now revealing the story of the God Valley Incident. This event has been built up for years as one of the most important in the series, and the author, Oda, is finally sharing all the key details.

Chapter 1160 of *One Piece* kicked off the long-awaited God Valley Incident. The Rocks Pirates arrived on the island and immediately began searching for Shakky, hoping to save her. The chapter ended with a display of Garp’s incredible power.

Prime Garp Was As Strong Gol D. Roger

  • Prime Garp was equal to Roger
  • Garp’s Haki was extremely strong

The pirates clearly had the upper hand against both the Holy Knights and the Marines. They easily overwhelmed their opponents, leaving the Marines feeling defeated and hopeless. But the arrival of Monkey D. Garp instantly renewed the Marines’ confidence.

In chapter 1160, Garp launched a powerful cannonball at the pirates, creating a huge explosion that surprised both Davy D. Xebec and Gol D. Roger. Before this, each pirate was completely focused on their own plans, but Garp’s sudden appearance clearly worried them.

Garp was undeniably one of the strongest characters in the story, and it’s been confirmed he was on par with Roger. Before the God Valley Incident, he was already known as the strongest Marine, meaning he’d battled the most dangerous pirates of his time.

Garp wasn’t a Devil Fruit user, but he still became a celebrated hero through intense training. This training dramatically increased his strength and also greatly enhanced his Haki – his most powerful ability. The combination of these two made Garp an incredibly formidable opponent.

We saw in Hachinosu that even an older Garp gave Kuzan a tough fight. This suggests that Garp in his prime was far more powerful and would have defeated Kuzan quickly. Now, fans are wondering if the story about Garp and Roger teaming up against Xebec is true, or if it’s a fabrication by the World Government to cover up Xebec’s real connections.

Garp Was Captured By The Blackbeard Pirates

When Blackbeard captured Koby from Amazon Lily, Garp decided to assemble a rescue team. He brought along some young Marines and headed to Hachinosu, a plan many thought was risky. However, Garp quickly showed his incredible strength, causing significant damage with only a few blows. Despite his power, he wasn’t satisfied with the results.

The Vice Admiral realized Garp could have inflicted much more damage. Even past his peak, Garp likely would have won if he hadn’t risked his own safety to protect Koby from Shiryu’s attack. That moment was crucial, changing the course of the fight. Ultimately, Blackbeard Pirates defeated and captured Garp, but the remaining Marines were able to escape.

Blackbeard kidnapped Koby hoping to negotiate with the World Government. Koby was valuable leverage, and Blackbeard would have been enraged if he’d gotten away. However, the World Government might have refused Blackbeard’s terms if Koby was the one being held hostage.

Now, things have escalated even further with Garp, a Marine legend and hero, falling into the hands of a Yonko. If the World Government abandons him, it will have massive global consequences. It’s going to be fascinating to see what happens to Garp and if he can survive, and fans are hoping Oda will reveal more details in future chapters.
