One Piece - Garp vs Aokiji, Battle Between Sensei and Student

The latest news from One Piece is that Episode 1114 of the anime, titled
“For the Beloved Pupil: The Fist of Vice-Admiral Garp!”,
is out now. This was undoubtedly one of the most awaited episodes for One Piece viewers and manga readers.

Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, Luffy’s grandfather, is a favorite among One Piece fans. In this episode, Garp arrives with his crew to rescue Koby, who was imprisoned by the infamous Blackbeard Pirates. After escaping from prison with Perona’s help, Koby finds himself surrounded by the entire gang of pirates on Beehive Island.

In this episode, Vice Admiral Garp makes a heroic entry reminiscent of Luffy’s Marineford arc appearance. The episode showcases Garp’s immense power, particularly his “Galaxy Impact,” for the first time in the anime. Fans are thrilled by his declaration:
“Koby is the future of the Navy, and he’s also my beloved pupil!”. However, they are also frustrated that he didn’t use his full power during Ace’s execution in the Marineford arc. Toei Animation has done a remarkable job visualizing Garp’s Galaxy Impact, which fans liken to Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi powers.

The scene was majestic and vividly depicted Garp’s strength, affirming his status as the “Hero of the Navy.” It’s one of the most exciting parts for fans, as it faithfully represents the manga. The Galaxy Impact, with its forceful smash, is nearly fatal to the island, showcasing Garp’s power and his prowess in Haki technique. The episode’s hype is causing a stir online, making fans wonder about the potential records if the God Valley Incident were animated.

What to Expect in Episode 1115?

The fight isn’t over yet, and the most crucial battle of the arc is between Garp and Aokiji, which will significantly impact the One Piece storyline. Aokiji, the former pupil of Garp, adds an emotional layer to the arc. Episode 1115 is titled “The Navy Surprised! The Navy Headquarters’ Former Admiral, Kuzan.”
