As Garp is considered a “Hero of the Marines”, Sengoku respects him greatly. Garp, on the other hand, took the development happily, much to Sengoku’s frustration. Upon hearing about Luffy’s break-in of Impel Down, Sengoku was so frustrated that he almost took it out on Garp, and had come close to losing his patience with the antics of the Monkey family in general. Being a former Admiral, it goes without saying that Akainu is very powerful. However, he is certainly not as strong as Sengoku, at least for now.
People who aren’t very close in strength don’t nearly kill each other, let alone multiple times. And I doubt it’s because Garp is good at setting traps or something tricky. Garp was around the same level as Whitebeard and Roger, at least when they were in their primes. Sengoku was an admiral, then became fleet admiral which is more an administrative position with less actual fighting. Brook said he recalls a rookie crew called the Roger pirates from when he began sailing.
I see Garp to have remained the strongest even after quitting the marines. I feel like if garp was serious about killing akainu then that makes him stronger than rayleigh if he can actually do it. And I also think he can take rayleigh because rayleigh was about even with kizaru, while garp knocked marco in one punch and he was also about even with kizaru, and from what it seems sengoku and garp are about even so. Scaling to other One Piece characters should put them even higher. Unless Bang and Bomb got better feats afterwards, I don’t think they will win . This is one reason why I said they should be on admiral level or maybe even stronger.
The World According to Garp
Sengoku was irritated for being bothered for such a reason and asked to be informed only of matters relating to Whitebeard. In the same manner, he brushed off the matter of the incident with Saint Charlos, saying it was a matter for the admirals. He then asked where Garp was and was annoyed upon learning that he left for Impel Down a while ago. He then received news that Whitebeard’s main ship, the Moby Dick, was on the move and that all twenty-three patrol ships were decimated. Sengoku the Buddha was the fleet admiral of the Marines during the first half of the series. He was also one of the major figures along with Whitebeard, Shiki, and Monkey D. Garp during the times when Gol D. Roger was still alive, and still continues to be in the present, even after his resignation from the Marines.
Garp is at least as strong and probably stronger than Rayleigh. I think it’s quite possible that Garp could’ve killed Akainu(especially given Akainu’s condition). But now that Akainu is the very ambitious Fleet Admiral of the marines and Garp is more or less retired, I doubt he could take him anymore. I think Akainu is quite possibly at or at least close to the top tier of power in One Piece just like Roger and Garp and Whitebeard were.
After the Revolutionaries liberated Nico Robin from Tequila Wolf after she was sent there by Kuma, Robin determined to satisfy with Dragon after receiving Luffy’s message to wait 2 years in the newspaper. During these 2 years, Nico Robin became acquainted with Dragon and the other Revolutionaries like Sabo and Koala. This is insubordinate habits displayed amongst a Marine crew, however Garp complied with their demand.
- As a hero of the Marines, Garp has high respect amongst the Marines, even with Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
- After the abolishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and the Marines learning of Big Mom and Kaidou’s newly formed alliance, Sengoku participated in a meeting with many Marine officers.
- He acknowledged that whereas he felt no sorrow for scoundrels, he felt in a different way when it got here to Ace, who was family.
- Kizaru’s strength is such that he can stand up against even the strongest of pirates in the series.
Sakazuki was also one of the only individuals who was aware that Luffy is Dragon’s son and that Dragon is the son of Garp. When Sengoku made Luffy’s relationship to Dragon public, Garp simply states that Luffy already has such a notorious popularity that his connection to Dragon is irrelevant. Garp expressed shock at Luffy’s capability to use Haoshokou Haki earlier than commenting that Luffy inherited it in any case.
Can’t Defeat: Luffy
Sengoku and Sakazuki then discussed about Kozuki Oden and the relationships he had with the Four Emperors. Sitting on a pile of rubble during the war’s aftermath and covered in bandages from the injuries he had sustained at some point during the war, Sengoku was informed by Brannew about Magellan’s critical condition. Sengoku forbade Magellan from leaving his medical care to take responsibility for the mass breakouts or to commit suicide for his failure.
Sengoku strikes me as being the smarter marine, whilst Garp is probably the slightly better fighter. It’d be interesting to see if there’s any marines who come from Tsuru’s line of tutelage. 41 Chapter 398 (p. 3) and Episode 278, Sengoku is informed of Robin’s escape by Spandine. 57 Chapter 558 and Episode 467, Sengoku reveals to the world that Luffy is Dragon’s son.
He is called “Hero of the Marines,” because of the God Valley incident. He was able to flatten the head of Don Chinjao with just one punch. Monkey D. Garp is a lifetime colleague of Sengoku’s, having occasionally accompanied on his assignments when he was still an admiral, and even then Sengoku found him irritating. As Garp is considered a “Hero of the Marines”, Sengoku, along with the rest of the Marines, respects him greatly. However, their relationship was tested after discovering that Garp withheld the information that the infamous Monkey D. Luffy is his grandson, which left the Fleet Admiral furious at Garp.
Both Garp’s immense recognition and achievements are noted by Sengoku to be the rationale Garp was never disposed of for his rebellious angle. Dragon was walking the streets of Loguetown as a storm broke out and said that Luffy being the Pirate King was fantastic with him. When the Marine Captain Smoker had his son Luffy pinned to the bottom, Dragon intervened and an enormous gust occurred that blew away the Marines and freed Luffy. As the Straw Hat Pirates sailed off, Dragon watched and informed Luffy to go on to make his dream happen before asking Smoker what purpose he needed to forestall a man from setting sail. It is unknown if Dragon knew that Portgas D. Ace was the son of Gol D. Roger previous to Sengoku making it public to the world, or if he was aware of Ace’s adoption into the household .
Abilities and Powers
He was also the one who trained Luffy and Ace, making them strong enough to set sail on their own. Gol D. Roger said that he and Garp nearly killed each other on many occasions. The fact that Garp could fight Gol D. Roger implies that he is one of the strongest characters in the series. Even without his devil fruit powers, it is implied that Sengoku also has enough superhuman strength to hold down an enraged Garp.
Relationship between Garp and Sengoku
Because his fighting style isn’t as effective against fighters like Akainu as Whitebeard’s was. Because Sabo misplaced his reminiscences of Luffy and Ace after this incident, Dragon was not aware that Sabo was a sworn brother to his son whereas Sabo was unaware of Dragon being Luffy’s father. When Sabo refused to return to his family, Dragon allowed him to affix the Revolutionary Army, and later personally skilled Sabo himself until Sabo turned his second-in-command. This typically leads Luffy to receiving the force of Garp’s punches, and due to these experiences, he has turn out to be afraid of his grandfather. Garp also claims Luffy was poisoned by Shanks with ideas of becoming a pirate, as Garp wanted Luffy to be a fantastic Marine like him.
Even in his old age, Garp was so confident in his skills that he claimed that he would have killed Akainu. Monkey D. Garp is one of the strongest characters in One Piece. There are still characters who can beat him in a fight, though. Sengoku had somehow found out that Garp had adopted Portgas D. Ace, the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, which was meant to be kept secret from the World Government. He warned Garp not to do anything foolish regarding Ace’s execution, or there would be no mercy. In the flashback Roger clearly appears to be younger than garp…garp’s hair were already partly grey.Plus he raised ace like a grandson not a son.The difference may not have been decades but some age difference was apparent.
As part of the plan to deceive Squard, the Pacifistas attacked all non-Marines in the bay except members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and because of his hatred towards Roger , Squard believed Akainu’s words and attacked Whitebeard, stabbing him in the chest. Everything went according to Sengoku’s plans, except for the fact that the whole world had seen everything happening thanks to Buggy’s Den Den Mushi. In order to prevent him from broadcasting any more of the battle, Sengoku ordered Aokiji to freeze him, the Den Den Mushi, and the Impel Down prisoners garp vs sengoku with him. Six months after Rosinante left the Donquixote Pirates, Sengoku contacted him again and was surprised that he was informed of the Ope Ope no Mi from his brother. Sengoku then informed Rosinante of a trade that was going to occur on Rubeck Island in three weeks and Rosinante informed the admiral of Doflamingo’s plans to steal the Ope Ope no Mi and that the crew would be on Swallow Island three days before the exchange. Sengoku then made plans to ambush the Donquixote Pirates on Swallow Island and warned Rosinante not to go anywhere near there.
Physical powers
Roger was powerful enough to fight the likes of Garp and Sengoku. In fact, he even matched the strongest man, Whitebeard, in a fight, becoming the only person to do so in the process. Sengoku is the former Fleet Admiral of the Navy in One Piece and one of the strongest characters to ever grace the series. Along with Garp, Sengoku is considered to be one of the strongest Marines.
After the abolishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and the Marines learning of Big Mom and Kaidou’s newly formed alliance, Sengoku participated in a meeting with many Marine officers. Sengoku told them about the Rocks Pirates, along with their captain, Rocks D. Xebec, who he remembered well. He then went into detail explaining the God Valley Incident, along with the history Garp had with Roger facing the Rocks Pirates. Fleet Admiral Sakazuki then entered the room and said that the Marines were leaving Wano Country alone due to not having enough manpower to deal with both Big Mom and Kaidou.
Garp also cornered Gol D. Roger several times in the past, however, he was never able to defeat him. All of this brings us to the conclusion that Sengoku is stronger than Garp and from what the numbers tell us, it really does seem to be true. In his prime, Admiral Sengoku was a bit stronger than Garp and that is why we have him win this match-up. And now for the most important and interesting section of our article – the analysis. Here, we are going to use what we have found out about these two characters and analyze how all these facts would help them in a fight against each other. This is a category where we cannot award any points at all because neither of these two characters has used weapons during their fights, so we cannot really evaluate their abilities.
