About

Monkey D. Garp is a Vice Admiral of the Marines and the man known as the Hero of the Marines. He is also the grandfather of Monkey D. Luffy and the father of Monkey D. Dragon, a family that has shaken the world from three different directions.

Loud, stubborn, and fiercely independent, Garp has always done things his own way. He turned down the rank of Admiral again and again, preferring to remain free to follow his own sense of justice, and his long rivalry with Gol D. Roger made him a legend on both sides of the law.

Abilities

Fist of Love

His famous punch, delivered with all the weight of his body and Haki, is feared by pirates across the seas.

Galaxy Impact

A devastating blow that releases a shockwave on impact, capable of breaking through walls, ships, and even stronger fighters.

Armament Haki

He hardens his fists and body with Armament Haki, turning every punch into a crushing strike.

Observation Haki

He senses the movement of his opponents before they act, which helps him fight even the fastest enemies with ease.

Cannonball Throws

He hurls huge iron cannonballs with such force that they can be used as weapons against entire ships.

Raw Toughness

Decades of battle have given him enormous endurance and strength, letting him fight on long after other fighters would fall.

Notable battles

Garp's most famous rivalry is with Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, whom he faced many times in the years before Roger's death. He also takes part in the war at Marineford, one of the most important battles of the series, and his bond with Luffy and Ace gives that war a personal side few others have.
