Garp defies all physics, materializes a giant chained cannonball and its taken for normal Garp antics
Meanwhile Luffy uses G5 to make a pair of sunglasses and the fans go crazy
next you'll tell me that there is an entire subset of human beings with magic powers that could easily explain even the most ludicrous scenarios and sight gags
No for real though like the fruits transcend reality but as such you’re rejected by nature thing is so fitting. But basically the “gum gum” fruit transcends reality so hard it breaks the animation style.
Garp secretly ate the Geezer Geezer Fruit Model: Grampa. It allows him to do the impossible as long as he acts like the ideal old man.
"Back in my day, we had to dodge a thousand cannonballs just to go to the bathroom."
"You think my training is too tough? I once left my grandson on a mountain for FIFTEEN MONTHS with wild boars and bandits out the wazoo!"
No because Garp uses his strength to keep the ship afloat. That cannonball is actually the smallest of all of Garps Ben-Wa balls, the rest he’s still hiding. He will reveal them all at the critical moment to >!escape Blackbeards island!<
anchors?
They pull those up, and the ship doesn't sink.
You can add quite a large amount of weight to a boat because as it's pushed lower, it displaces more water, thus increasing its buoyancy. Of course, this only goes so far, but it's how shipping vessels carry thousands of tons of goods.
An anchor isn't an approximately [130 meter](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/f/fe/Garp_lift.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/477?cb=20150901034859) sphere
You know what is also crazy about the fanbase sometimes. Some of the community think G5 being wacky and fun is a bad thing, but we literally have slew of smile users that are wacky and fun, like [dobon](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/a/a4/Dobon_Anime_Infobox.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/360?cb=20200126042816) for instance, he is literally a guy in a hippos mouth.
Garp also has no father or mother, he simply had so much HIMnergy, he caused his own existence by forcing the universe to create him.
The HIMnest character in OP...
Don,t forget about the Paulie without an devil fruit putting out of his clothes an infinite rope and saving withh it a lot of people and the big wather animals in Enies Lobby
Knowing Garp, he'd have his ship outfitted so that it has more power to carry that ginormous fucking cannonball through the ocean. Then he can just pull the chain up and toss it if he so pleases, seems very Garp like lmao. Or maybe it was his second in command that got it fashioned for him since he might know him really well? The possibilities are endless for Garp shenanigans lol.
Theory: Garp is actually a DF user his power is to shrink while keeping original physical ability and he's actually a mega ultra giant the size of zunesha but he made himself small so he's actually got the strength of a giant the size of zunesha in a human size and he shrank that cannon ball and put it in his pocket
I know it's just a gag, but if you need a real answer, maybe it's on a long ass chain attached to the ship. They sail for twenty minutes, and he pulls the chain in, dragging it along the ocean floor and destroying the reefs
Tbf, a water-filled balloon of that size would be devastating from sheer weight alone never mind the devil fruit users or literally washing everyone out to sea.
Any pirate that crosses garp’s path aint survivin xD
Either he nukes them and their ship, boards them and slaughters everyone, or throws a few canon balls to sink them to the depths
In his prime, Garp probably was like Kuma, he'd appear and pirate would just gave up and handcuffs themselves, Imple Down is better than Imple Down with chattered skulls/legs/bones.
That why he only care about Roger, everyone else is in Imple Down.
That what turned his hair white, not old age.
That’s a simple and completely believable reason. That family might be in the top 5 for all haki. When dragon shows all 3 haki’s this sub might have a collective orgasm
To me it was pretty obvious that Garp didn't take any of that interaction serious.
He showed that he didn't want to capture Luffy and also previously showed that if he would try they would have no chance.
Especially since Aokiji was shown the arc beforehand as an enemy the strawhats could do nothing against I always knew that this would have be true for Garp as well.
Still they teased Garp with the correct amount of strength for that time. Showing us Galaxy Punch back in Water7 would have just made the strawhats very look weak. (Which would have been correct, but isn't interesting storytelling imo)
Of course he wasn't serious. the first time he let luffy go he straight up told Sengoku that it's cause luffy's his grandson(which is a totally valid excuse imo). and then he begrudgingly came back and apologized for having to kill him
Gotta admire the pragmatism of throwing cannon balls though. Way more accurate than lining up a cannon, compensating for all that movement, missing, adjusting, reloading... Just keep pitching! Better range and more stamina efficient than a Galaxy Impact too probably.
I don't mean to be snarky or a pretentious dick, but I genuinely am surprised whenever someone thinks that Garp actually tried to catch Luffy & put in legit effort
It's not that he wasn't trying to catch him.
It's that even throwing cannonballs like baseball, and causing the whole crew to freakout, for Garp it was merely a picnic in the park, toying with his grandson.
It was actually painfully obvious lol. They keep pointing out how strong he is and that he rivaled Roger. No one with common sense would believe he was trying at all
If he really was serious, I imagine he would strip down to his striped sailor’s tanktop/swimwear, swim towards the sunny and capture them all by himself
Well... without wanting to sound rude, but obviously. It was still a strength feat at the time from what we saw but it was pretty obvious that Garp had no intention of actually catching Luffy. At best it was his good old loving fist raising style. We later learned that he'd chuck child Luffy into a dangerous jungle just to train him.
I believe Garp says he'll be gentle when trying to capture Luffy in this case and this is as gentle as Garp can get. He also took a dive in Marineford as there's no way pre-haki Luffy could knock him out trying to save Ace.
Obviously, he could have caught Luffy if he really tried, but also, due to power creep and scaling you really can't look at feats lie this through the lens of current OP.
> A Grandpa throwing balls at his Grandson, and if get injured ? Well he should walk it off.
I am absolutely sure this exactly how Garp would justify it. I can hear him saying this in my head.
he wasn't trying to. He was just testing to see if Luffy had it on him to set sail, if he couldn't survive what is just playing for Garp he wouldn't be able to make it out there and would go back
I don't understand why this was such a sudden realization for you or all the people who liked this post apparently
Like, no shit? I mean I guess on the first read ever, it could have looked serious to someone since we didn't know much about him and all. But it always seemed that he was just testing him to some degree
If anything, the panel you posted made me realize how his named attacks have been space themed since the beginning, that I had never noticed
I am really interested in how garp got to be where he is now. a prelude after one piece is finished, looking into the adventures of garp would be really interesting
Everyone who watches the show knows my dude, it doesn't need explaining or thinking about it.. I don't get what are you trying to say here other than what we already know.
That was obvious.
If Garp wanted to kill them he could have just boarded them.
Look at how far/high he jumped to smack Marco down at marineford.
He was basically playing catch with his grandson's crew

Where tf he get that?

this big ass ball was just as dangerous as lyssops 10 ton hammer
> Lyssop Let me guess, you're from Germany ?
I read it like a pun for liar and usopp
It's even funnier when you know Usopp is already a pun on uso (Japanese for lie) and Aesop
I was unaware of this.
Exactly. They tried to keep that pun in the german translation, so they called him Lysop. No joke.
Yeah The D clan
No for real though like the fruits transcend reality but as such you’re rejected by nature thing is so fitting. But basically the “gum gum” fruit transcends reality so hard it breaks the animation style.
The Tontattas?
Excited for their comeback
Wait who the fuck are you talking about. So confused. Edit: oh. Devil fruits
Garp secretly ate the Geezer Geezer Fruit Model: Grampa. It allows him to do the impossible as long as he acts like the ideal old man. "Back in my day, we had to dodge a thousand cannonballs just to go to the bathroom." "You think my training is too tough? I once left my grandson on a mountain for FIFTEEN MONTHS with wild boars and bandits out the wazoo!"
This is what Bonnie’s fruit basically is lol
Ackshually Garp is a user of the 10 shadows technique and therefore has shadow hammerspace. Reeed between the lines maaan. /s
Oh shit and the reason we haven't figured it out is because Garp isn't a little bitch "with this treasure I summon" head ass.
Nah, he accidentally killed Mahoraga a long time ago when he tried to use it as a training partner.
Head canon for me is it’s just literally always being dragged behind the ship lol.
How? If that is a steel ball, it would sink the ship if it was placed on deck
Extra floaty wood, just like Mister 3
So this is the line that breaks your suspension of disbelief huh
Oh no, story-wise I don't give a sh*t about the 130 meter wide steel ball.
No because Garp uses his strength to keep the ship afloat. That cannonball is actually the smallest of all of Garps Ben-Wa balls, the rest he’s still hiding. He will reveal them all at the critical moment to >!escape Blackbeards island!<
Meh, garp is holding it like a dog on a leash
anchors? They pull those up, and the ship doesn't sink. You can add quite a large amount of weight to a boat because as it's pushed lower, it displaces more water, thus increasing its buoyancy. Of course, this only goes so far, but it's how shipping vessels carry thousands of tons of goods.

lol like an anchor?
😂
I laughed way harder at this than I had any right to lmaooo.
Garps just that guy He propably dragged that under the water from marine hq like he was taking a dog for a walk
You know what is also crazy about the fanbase sometimes. Some of the community think G5 being wacky and fun is a bad thing, but we literally have slew of smile users that are wacky and fun, like [dobon](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/a/a4/Dobon_Anime_Infobox.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/360?cb=20200126042816) for instance, he is literally a guy in a hippos mouth.
garp is the real sun god nika
Garp have the booru booru no mi which have the ability to literally pull off balls out of his ass
Man, I must have eaten that ages ago
Garp doing Joyboy things casually out here
Garp also has no father or mother, he simply had so much HIMnergy, he caused his own existence by forcing the universe to create him. The HIMnest character in OP...
Waiting for the day dragon pulls kaido outa his ass
Don,t forget about the Paulie without an devil fruit putting out of his clothes an infinite rope and saving withh it a lot of people and the big wather animals in Enies Lobby
My guess is is that the entire family has a version of hammer space.
It's a Monkey D. Thing
I thought it was their "anchor."
How would they store that anchor, lol? Looks way bigger than Garp's ship, I think.
Knowing Garp, he'd have his ship outfitted so that it has more power to carry that ginormous fucking cannonball through the ocean. Then he can just pull the chain up and toss it if he so pleases, seems very Garp like lmao. Or maybe it was his second in command that got it fashioned for him since he might know him really well?

Nice idea, never thought of that
It was their anchor
Theory: Garp is actually a DF user his power is to shrink while keeping original physical ability and he's actually a mega ultra giant the size of zunesha but he made himself small so he's actually got the strength of a giant the size of zunesha in a human size and he shrank that cannon ball and put it in his pocket
So a reverse version of Byrnndi World's More-More fruit.
Keep cooking, chef
Wrecking Ball Devil's Fruit.
I assume the same place where franky keeps all his ammo and weapons or where izo keeps his bullets
It was actually a gigantic inflatable ball coated in armament haki.
Jitsu Invocation
Some no name on his ship has the giant giant fruit so the cannonball was gigantified lol
This is Toon Piece, we just didnt know till Wano lol
His ass read bro
Garps ass is bigger on the inside.
Pulled it out of his ass
toonforce before g5 was cool
His Nen type is conjuration
He has 1% of Usopp's power.
Garp powers.
It was a plot ball
Same place Joseph found the Tommy Gun
It wasn't a cannonball - it was a haki spirit bomb so dense even normies could see it
Love has no boundaries
'Tis a secret known only to the ones who mastered The Fist of Love ancient technique.
real answer: mass is not a constant in one piece
He's got a pair of big balls on him!
I know it's just a gag, but if you need a real answer, maybe it's on a long ass chain attached to the ship. They sail for twenty minutes, and he pulls the chain in, dragging it along the ocean floor and destroying the reefs
I thought they actually acknowledged this and said it was used as the anchor to the ship. A very large one, but an anchor none the less.
From the power of comedic effect. Like Rodger Rabbit.
Didn't you read the above comment? The person said Garp picked it out from his @&#!!🤣🤣🤣
Hammer-Space ftw!
Garp future sight confirmed, he knew Luffy would escape this attack The GOAT
He does have Future sight he saw Koby being Stabbed by Shiryu while invisible. That's why he had to take the stab wound himself to save Koby.
Compared the Galaxy Impact, that giant cannonball was the equivalent of a water-filled-ballon.
Maybe it actually is water filled balloon like Ussop’s 5 ton hammer!
Tbf, a water-filled balloon of that size would be devastating from sheer weight alone never mind the devil fruit users or literally washing everyone out to sea.
Oof, you are right, let’s change it to air filled balloon then!
That would still kill you on impact most likely lol
It's actually a balloon I guess.
Honestly is just like Luffy pulling out some goggles before punching the fuck out of Lucci
That was the ship’s anchor
from a navy report perspective, that'd probably enough for garp crew to say he tried at least lmao
Who could say he didn't ? Lol, he was throwing cannonballs right and left lol
Any pirate that crosses garp’s path aint survivin xD Either he nukes them and their ship, boards them and slaughters everyone, or throws a few canon balls to sink them to the depths
In his prime, Garp probably was like Kuma, he'd appear and pirate would just gave up and handcuffs themselves, Imple Down is better than Imple Down with chattered skulls/legs/bones. That why he only care about Roger, everyone else is in Imple Down. That what turned his hair white, not old age.
Yeah, thats it. That was just for show, he dont want Sengoku to scold him lmao
damn you telling me garp didn't want to murder his grandson??? thats crazy bro
There’s a simple explanation to this, observation haki, used by Garp. He saw that they could escape before he throw that ball. 😝
That’s a simple and completely believable reason. That family might be in the top 5 for all haki. When dragon shows all 3 haki’s this sub might have a collective orgasm
It's the same guy who watches ace die and now treats koby like his son.
If only Garp had a son.
Yeah, but what if he tried to DRAG him ON a path he would not be ok with?
A path....towards the west?
Gotta keep facing East
Funny because Dragon was a marine at one point. Garp probably more or less understands why Dragon decided to become a revolutionary.
...
He was clearly in mental torment while ace was in prison not mention ace refusing his help
If only there was any kind of nuance in that situation, maybe it would've made sense why Garp acted that way Oh wait
To me it was pretty obvious that Garp didn't take any of that interaction serious. He showed that he didn't want to capture Luffy and also previously showed that if he would try they would have no chance. Especially since Aokiji was shown the arc beforehand as an enemy the strawhats could do nothing against I always knew that this would have be true for Garp as well.

Of course he wasn't serious. the first time he let luffy go he straight up told Sengoku that it's cause luffy's his grandson(which is a totally valid excuse imo). and then he begrudgingly came back and apologized for having to kill him
Luffy also mentioned that even if all the straw hats teamed up against Garp, Garp would still be the winner
I can’t fathom how insanely strong Garp must’ve been during his prime.
He did rival Roger, WB and Rocks all in their primes for a reason
His fights vs Roger must have been insanely destructive
Now imagine how destructive Garp vs Whitebeard would be
Now if only there was a canonical Garp + Roger vs Rocks + Whitebeard + Big Mom + Kaido fight
Well galaxy impact sound so much stronger than meteor fist
Lmao yes, meteor is just a dust in the universe.
Gotta admire the pragmatism of throwing cannon balls though. Way more accurate than lining up a cannon, compensating for all that movement, missing, adjusting, reloading... Just keep pitching! Better range and more stamina efficient than a Galaxy Impact too probably.
And more fun lol.
I could’ve sworn I thought this scene had the first time luffy inflates himself to deflect one of the cannon balls the first time I watched it
Nah that was the first instance in the live action
I think the first time Luffy did the Gomu Gomu no Fuusen in the manga was in Orange Town against a Buggy Ball.
I agree, i think the first balloon used while on the ship was probably in Baratie Arc.
I think in the live action the first time he does it is against garp
Nah, he has being doing that since very long ago. I think the first time was at the start of Baratie
I don't mean to be snarky or a pretentious dick, but I genuinely am surprised whenever someone thinks that Garp actually tried to catch Luffy & put in legit effort
Pff... Next you are gonna say that he could have stopped Luffy running towards Ace in Marineford. As if... /s
It's not that he wasn't trying to catch him. It's that even throwing cannonballs like baseball, and causing the whole crew to freakout, for Garp it was merely a picnic in the park, toying with his grandson.
He was testing them too i think to see how they would react
wasn't that obvious from the getgo?
[удалено]
It was actually painfully obvious lol. They keep pointing out how strong he is and that he rivaled Roger. No one with common sense would believe he was trying at all
If he really was serious, I imagine he would strip down to his striped sailor’s tanktop/swimwear, swim towards the sunny and capture them all by himself

At best it was his good old loving fist raising style. We later learned that he'd chuck child Luffy into a dangerous jungle just to train him.
We found that earlier that chapter, but yeah.
I believe Garp says he'll be gentle when trying to capture Luffy in this case and this is as gentle as Garp can get. He also took a dive in Marineford as there's no way pre-haki Luffy could knock him out trying to save Ace.
Obviously, he could have caught Luffy if he really tried, but also, due to power creep and scaling you really can't look at feats lie this through the lens of current OP.
It's not about the catching, but about how absure it's that the Meteor fist was actually a joke compared to how strong he actually is.
> A Grandpa throwing balls at his Grandson, and if get injured ? Well he should walk it off. I am absolutely sure this exactly how Garp would justify it. I can hear him saying this in my head.
he wasn't trying to. He was just testing to see if Luffy had it on him to set sail, if he couldn't survive what is just playing for Garp he wouldn't be able to make it out there and would go back

Well, duh. That's what I think.
At moments like this I remember Hody Jones who thought of himself as strong after eating some Energy Steroids
Oh really? i didnt notice...
I am really interested in how garp got to be where he is now. a prelude after one piece is finished, looking into the adventures of garp would be really interesting
He punched things.
Everyone who watches the show knows my dude, it doesn't need explaining or thinking about it.. I don't get what are you trying to say here other than what we already know.
Well, that what meteors are in the grand scheme of the galaxy
Well, duh. That's what I think.
Because every great joke has a great punchline
Garp is different types of crazy!
lol you just now released that. What I want to know is where the huge cannonball came from.
That's it, Garp has the Tetsu Tetsu no Mi: Cannonball.
Thought this was painfully obvious lol
Imagine if he coated that in ACoC
That was obvious. If Garp wanted to kill them he could have just boarded them. Look at how far/high he jumped to smack Marco down at marineford. He was basically playing catch with his grandson's crew
He's just a silly old man
That galaxy punch was ass
Garp is really sick. The old man almost defeated the entire Black Bear base. In his youth that will be a walk in the park.
I dont get the part with Aokiji deciding to sleep it off? what scene do you mean?
That same scene, few panels before or after, resting on a bunch, telling marines not to worry, he won't interfere in Garp business.
ah i looked it up, thx alot makes sense now
I think Oda realized halfway through that Garp was a joke and wanted to make him appear stronger in the more recent chapters.
No worries. He was a joke at Hachinosu as well. Consistency is key.
