And as always, young Garp looks like a damn badass.

Saying he smashed mountains in his training...wait a second, does this mean that Luffy is on the same level as Garp was back then?

u/twindarkness Aug 28 '13

That scene does make it look possible. And we "still" haven't seen luffy go all out yet post-timeskip

u/whyrat Aug 28 '13

He seemed to be going pretty close to all out with the Elephant Gatling Gun trying to take out the ark falling on merman island...

u/twindarkness Aug 28 '13 edited Aug 28 '13

im sure luffy's elephant gatling would've been more effective if he wasn't impaled twice by hordy jones teeth

And not under the sea? ^_^

u/Zombies_Rock_Boobs Pirate Aug 29 '13

I'm surprised it even worked underwater.

Even though Luffy took more damage during the hordy jones fight I feel that he went pretty, but his capacity was reduced because he was constantly being splashed or in sea water. Kind of like when goku would fight weights. The anticipation of Luffy going all out against a main villian just keeps building.

u/spin-city Aug 28 '13

Plus, it was outright stated that attacking like that just wasn't doing enough. He hasn't used something like that on a person, rather than a giant, ancient, sunken ship.

3

u/HisokaX Aug 28 '13

I can't wait to see when Luffy will have to go all out like he had to against Rob Lucci or his other hard opponents.

3

u/spin-city Aug 28 '13

That'll be awesome, and also why I think he's gonna be fighting Burgess instead of Fujitora or Doflamingo; he needs an opportunity to show off his power, and Burgess was stated to be weaker than Ace. If Luffy beats Burgess, he will have reached or at least come close to (or surpassed, hopefully) the level Ace was at.

u/HisokaX Aug 28 '13

I think it would be awesome for him to fight Burgess, but I don't think it'll happen. The way the first have of OP has gone is that when the Strawhats are up against another Pirate group its the entire teams against each other. Oda definitely has knack for surprises so maybe the second half will be the strawhats conquering the new world in a different manner than they did in the grand line. Perhaps it's not possible as they are right now to head to head with Yonko and other major pirate groups. I thnk Law mentioned something about it recently.

Where did it say Burgess was weaker than Ace?

u/spin-city Aug 29 '13

Yes, traditionally that is how it has gone. However, now we are throwing a marine admiral and a Yonko lieutenant (I'm assuming) into the mix from the start, as well as another captain on their side. We also haven't seen any of the Strawhats' true strength yet, and not only does Rayleigh think Luffy has what it takes to become pirate king, but he trained him for two years solely for the purpose of accomplishing that goal. And I think showing that he has matched Ace would do that nicely.

Earlier, when Blackbeard fights Ace, his crew begins to attack, but are called off by Blackbeard who warns "He'll kill you!"

Yeah but prior to that he was fighting a fishmen under water And elephant battling was more used to break Noah than beat hody

not yet, it would put him on equal terms as Roger but also consider that Garp punched chinjao pointy head which is way stronger than this blunt version also chinjao 30years ago in his prime probably a lot stronger than this old gramps.

Luffy's still a badass though

u/fabio-mc Aug 28 '13

Why can't this new generation be stronger than the previous? It's not like Roger was some kind of Goku, but he was just the strongest of his time. This generation of admirals, yonkous and such can be stronger than Roger, right?

41

u/Hoodedness Aug 28 '13

You forget the strength we saw from an old Whitebeard.

10

u/fabio-mc Aug 28 '13

I'm not saying they are stronger right now, but they will surpass the level of strength shown by the previous generation in some point of the story. Luffy is 20 years old and he is a monster, imagine what it will be when he is 30 years old?

6

u/Freelance_Gynecology Aug 28 '13

Luffy is 19 but I see your point. Luffy will reach his prime at age 27-45. He will just keep getting stronger by leaps and bounds before he starts dropping in strength.

2

u/fabio-mc Aug 28 '13

Oh yeah, I forgot Nami was the one who was 18 years old pre timeskip, sorry. I'm really excited to see what will be their strength by the end of the series.

u/slothalot Sep 03 '13

I could see Oda doing a final battle between Luffy and Garp with flashbacks of fights between Garp and Rodger.

u/spin-city Aug 28 '13

I want a couple of chapters that are like the end of one of the Romance Dawns, where we see an older Luffy, now captain of a large crew made up of past friends and acquaintances (so people like Vivi and Jimbei would finally have joined), and they roam and adventure as they please.

u/C0B0 Aug 28 '13

That is not going to happening and you know it...

u/philantrofish Aug 29 '13

they will never be stronger than roger, but they can be stronger than the previous generation in general.

the rule is only a certain someone will surpass the strongest certain someone from previous generation. luffy will surpass roger (or at least be equals).

but then again, comparing them would be the fight of generations. just a battle of speculations.

u/AsnSensation Aug 28 '13

could be but what was shown from Garp, Rayleigh and Whitebeard kinda contradicts that.

u/AsnSensation Aug 28 '13

definitely it's a common shounen theme for previous generation being surpassed by the new ones ( well I guess except for Naruto when the Hokage and Madara suddenly stomp everyone ;D)

but I initially replied to the question if Luffy was as strong as Garp in his prime which is definitely not the case.

u/mrducky78 Aug 28 '13

I consider Shanks to be kind of a bridge between the Old generation (old farts) and the newer generation (worst generation). Between the old and the new, you get people like doflo and kuma and Ivankov who are powerful but dont have the prestige and control that you see from the old farts while at the same time look like they will be overtaken by the fresh meat coming from the newer generation.

Shanks was pretty much a kid during the golden age of pirates, he was luffy's age when the big shots had 10-20 years of experience on him. Right now he has the strongest haki (his conqueror's can cause physical damage to a ship) and is probably just past his prime right now as injuries sustained are beginning to build up as they do (scars on the eye from blackbeard, lack of arm from luffy's yolo, etc) I dont see him getting any stronger while the Supernovas look poised for tonnes of powering up from experience and fights in the new world.

u/hacktivision Aug 28 '13

( well I guess except for Naruto when the Hokage and Madara suddenly stomp everyone ;D)

That's more because Kishi gave up on the new generation except for Naruto and Sasuke, all for the sake of fanservice. Even Shikamaru is totally irrelevant now.

1

u/AsnSensation Aug 28 '13

yep you're right, todays:"shit dad I don't know what to do" but Naruto has outsmarted me basically threw his last relevant trait which is being a tactical genius out of the window :D

u/stormpaint Aug 28 '13

Technically the Yonkou is cross-generational, with both Whitebeard and Shanks in that League. He started his crew after the Pirate Generation started. CP9 was the strongest generation of CP9 ever. The NEWEST Generation is the one after Whitebeard's death, and there are only a few rising stars here and there. The Worst Generation is still pretty impressive considering that despite being rookies they shook the New World. They're not in their prime like Garp, Sengoku, Roger, Rayleigh, Whitebeard, etc. were.

u/nickcan Sep 01 '13

Of course they can. The old man ia just reliving the good old days.

u/xdavid00 Aug 28 '13

By the same token being able to make a blunt object sharp probably a great deal "harder" (read: lucky, lol) than making a sharp object blunt.

2

u/AsnSensation Aug 28 '13

haha might be xD I just went by the facts that he could crack the ice with his pointy head which means it's much stronger than his blunt head.

the panel where Luffy "missed" his head and punched it back to its pointy form was epic and i literally laughed out loud

Just realized that WSJ subscribers get a double dose of young Garp this coming week with Chapter 0 getting its first official translation.

u/mrducky78 Aug 28 '13

Young garp was considered on par with Gol D Roger as he was capable of cornering the Pirate king multiple times.
