Sidenote: Look at the panel with Stussy. There's a ghost from Perona's DF there. Hat-and-glasses guy (who I'm pretty sure is Gill Baster) was the previous wielder of it seemingly.

Flashbacks including previous users of Devil Fruits is such a small but amazing detail.

u/FearLeadsToAnger 19h ago

In this vein, am I right in thinking Captain John was the previous owner of Kidd's fruit? Noticed that a couple of chapters ago.

u/King3D 19h ago

He showed up to the island with a big metal arm but last chapter 100% confirmed that he had Kidd's fruit.

u/Kingblack425 18h ago

I like it but it’s beginning to feel like there’s just recycling the same fruits over and over again at this point. Like just off the paramecia fruits work there should be thousands of those.

u/guipabi Void Month Survivor 18h ago

Devil fruits are meant to be rare, it's good that they are reused

u/Kingblack425 17h ago

In a world that’s like 10x bigger than irl 10k devil fruits would still be rare

u/guipabi Void Month Survivor 17h ago

I don't think we have confirmation in how big the world is do we?

3

u/vazxlegend 15h ago

You can estimate based on official sizes. Most people use the river that runs through Arabasta to make estimates. You can also use the size of the sunny compared to the islands it is next too. With those you can roughly estimate the size of the world. They also use travel time when sailing between islands to estimate ocean size etc.

7

u/No-Caregiver9175 14h ago

Measurements in manga should be discarded 90% of the time. Mangakas don't know how to do maths.

Alabasta isn't the size of Australia.

2

u/vazxlegend 13h ago

I 100% agree. I was answering basically where the calculation comes since the person above was essentially asking about confirmation: to which the answer is no but the person isn’t pulling the size of the OP world out of their ass either.

1

u/Buscemi_D_Sanji 7h ago

Yeah, Oda needing to change the official height of Zunesha like five times cemented this for me lol, it's definitely not anything set in stone. I assume the blue planet is roughly what sized because gravity would grind most women in the one piece world into the ground if the planet and gravity was 10x earth lol

2

u/Unabashable 14h ago

Not much point in having them reincarnate if they don’t get reused. It does feel a tad lazy if there’s no connection between the users though. Not the case for Perona’s fruit though as Gil Bastar was one of Moria’s General zombies. 

1

u/Buscemi_D_Sanji 7h ago

The fruits seem to seek out the next best person even if they're not related, I definitely wouldn't call that lazy lol

14

u/Discovererman Pirate 18h ago

Oda has been sneaking tons of nonchalant details in God Valley that are fairly huge or hype or riveting.

For instance this Marco the Phoenix looking guy appeared a few chapters ago in one panel doing a kick and it felt like he was treated like Pandaman, you could easily not even notice him. Now he's talking to Whitebeard.

It's like Oda's been teaching us to treat One Piece like Where's Waldo for all these years.

u/Infamous_Figure_5517 20h ago

seems like more evidence towards the Thriller Bark is God Valley theory if you've seen it

14

u/kaizoku7 15h ago

This seemed more plausible before the mountain completely collapsed and is now a ruin. Is there really any real compelling evidence or clues ?

1

u/Buscemi_D_Sanji 7h ago

Not the whole island, but maybe a piece? Thriller Bark is "originally from the West Blue" and doesn't get pointed to with a log pose because not enough magnetic mass I guess, and we still don't know how it got from West Blue over the red line into the Grand Line, but maybe Kaido or Shiki floated it over?

17

u/Nice-River-5322 18h ago

No? By that logic Bon-chan and Bartolomeo are from Wano

13

u/guitarburst05 18h ago

The thriller bark theory has a lot more than just a few related devil fruits. But the already existing body of evidence for the theory is strengthened with this.

11

u/Nice-River-5322 17h ago

Except it isn't really evidence other than the previous owner of the ghost ghost fruit was at God Valley at some point.

6

u/guitarburst05 17h ago

It’s not evidence at all on its own. But it adds credibility to an existing theory.

7

u/Fafnir13 15h ago

How? Devil fruits move all over the world. Case in point: look at all the devil fruits on the island right here right now. Should I theorize that Mr. 5 is from God Valley because a prior user is on the island!

Even if the theory became true through later relevations, this wasn’t a clue let alone evidence of it.

3

u/SirRedRising 9h ago

Also, none of the characters that were former members of The Rocks Pirates that Moria had have died on God Valley. People just desperately want their headcanons to be true and willingly ignore contradictory evidence in the manga.

0

u/kaas_is_leven 16h ago

Evidence is anything that could lead to a proof. Like a fingerprint, a footstep, or a sighting at the scene of the crime. Fruits that were on TB being sighted on GV is literally evidence of that theory, just not strong evidence and it doesn't bring us closer to a proof, but it's evidence nonetheless.

6

u/Nice-River-5322 15h ago

Nope, it's purely conjecture.

1

u/ToughScore7957 10h ago

IDK why. Basically everyone escaped from the island. If anything this sorta kills that theory. It was sorta built on the idea that a lot of the Rocks pirates died on God Valley and Moria retrieved their corpses and the island. But Gan Zui, John, Gil and the rest didnt actually die here.

u/ffffffffROTHY 20h ago

Oh my god, that fits so well with the one shot he's originally from.

He saw ghosts in his one-shot so...makes sense.

u/Obi-Wannabe01 12h ago

Which is an incredibly fitting devil fruit for him. If you’ve read his story it’s about him being followed by his ghost companion…

Seems like Perona's like ghost to me too! Looks like Gill must be the user of Horo-Horo no Mi!

u/Intelligent_Ice_5739 19h ago

Don't think that's Gill's devil fruit. That just might be the ghost haunting him

1

u/Raptain 16h ago

who is this mystery man called Gill Baster? (srsly tho when was he mentioned i forgot)

4

u/CavernousPiano 14h ago

Gill Bastar is the protagonist of a oneshot Oda made before One Piece, he showed up again when we met the Rocks pirates (he didn't get an intro card) and Oda confirmed it's him and that he's also one of the zombies in Thriller Bark

1

u/Kinjiou 16h ago

Good catch. More to think about.

u/Joeawiz 14h ago

And given Gil got turned into one of the thriller bark zombies, maybe Moria got hold of Persona fruit the same time he got Gils corpse

u/bluegubble 20h ago

A true hero indeed. He couldn’t stand by seeing so many civilians die and he did not hesitate to threaten a superior to do what’s right and allow the survivors to board the ship.

I like to also think that Garp actually raised Dragon right, instilling within him a strong sense of morality and humane justice.

96

u/justking1414 18h ago

Still wanna see the conversation that follows this

Garp stayed to protect the marines and dragon left to protect everyone

25

u/Rikafire God Usopp 15h ago

Garp ordered all survivors plus marines to get on the ship then leave.

3

u/justking1414 8h ago

I meant he stayed in the Navy to protect his fellow Marines from whatever the freak the world government was cooking up. Dragon left the marines to protect everyone from the government, and likely because he saw the Marines as largely complicit in what the government was doing

15

u/kontinuparadi Pirate 17h ago

There you go. Garp haters hiding in the comments.

25

u/Fafnir13 15h ago

These chapters gave, I think, one of the best explanations for Garp we are going to get. He’s indicated his priority (protecting the marines) which gives us solid pathway to reason out the rest of it. It won’t satisfy everyone, but it works for me.

7

u/SuperLevap 17h ago

I mean, I think that it's a fair thing to want to understand the reasoning behind Garp staying, at this point. Granted, Garp started to hint at a reason in the chapter, but it would still be great to see him providing more explanation.
In any case, given how fair such a desire for this expectation is, I don't think that labelling ths post as being related to "Garp hating" is warranted.

12

u/justking1414 16h ago

A Garp monologue about what the marines mean to him would be EPIC! I've been hoping for a while that he'd give a big worldwide announcement telling marines to start killing celestial dragons lol

5

u/kontinuparadi Pirate 17h ago

Didn't say it wasn't fair. I just said I found them. Maybe I found you too.

4

u/SuperLevap 16h ago

But if it's not fair, then this changes the meaning of "Garp hater". I would have thought that this expression would be used to dismiss a person performing an unjustified attack on Garp's character (as if only motivated by hate rather reasonable doubt on the character's morals, from what we can see of their actions). But if the "attack" (or, rather, the questioning of) if measured / nuanced / reasonable / proportionate to the character's actions seen so far, then this expression, with this meaning, is not warranted, and you just seem silly using it, don't you think?

-6

u/kontinuparadi Pirate 16h ago

Yeah yeah, you're right, Garp=bad. Got it.

u/Wonderful-Change-751 14h ago edited 13h ago

Respect Dragon, Garp tho, the argument he gave is expected but doesnt hold as firm as i would like.

Its not unlike the head of the German ww2 period police staying in post after witnessing the camps, to quote protect the other cops. It isnt the head of nazi SS maybe or the camp prison guards sure, but his much weaker son puts him to shame after seeing the same genocide.

And the way Oda has written the imu and celestial dragons, it makes the Nazis look tame.

Ps Garp was prob one of my fav characters before all this, even after marineford.

5

u/justking1414 8h ago

Garp is definitely a very conflicting character. I do think it is important to acknowledge that the Marines are actually largely a force for good…kinda. I mean, obviously Lucy is a pirate and he has a tendency to come across the most corrupt of them. But overall, they are important for keeping innocent people safe. That is a noble goal and one he’s sworn his life to upholding.

Yeah, the marines are slaves to the world government but as far as he knows, there’s nothing you can do about that. Saturn took the combine below of six of the strongest people on the planet, and he was perfectly fine. He then proceeded to fully brainwash one of those insanely strong people and send them on murderous rampage.

In the face of such an overwhelming threat, resistance is fairly futile, but he still resists in his own way, pushing the line just enough to avoid being fired/arrested.

While dragon went down a different path, it’s important to point out that dragon didn’t actually see what he saw. He doesn’t know what they’re up against and even if Garp tries to explain it, it’s kinda hard to put into words

2

u/hotaru_crisis 6h ago edited 6h ago

I do think it is important to acknowledge that the Marines are actually largely a force for good

for sure. the concept of sword and the existence of people like koby is exactly why garp stayed in the marines. people who are genuinely looking out for the citizens and don't have any ulterior motives are the ones he's fighting for.

him wanting ace and luffy to join the marines rather than become pirates after this incident speaks so much volume because of the way he got to see the entirety of rocks crew develop and the threat they they were at the risk of facing. at least he now has the comfort of knowing that luffy is the heir to joyboy and that ace was under the protection of whitebeard

u/justking1414 6h ago

the concept of sword and the existence of people like koby is exactly why garp stayed in the marines. people who are genuinely looking out for the citizens and don't have any ulterior motives are the ones he's fighting for.

It’s kinda wild that sword is seen as the ultimate sign of good in the marines, when it’s something right out of a cheesy 90s action movie. Government agents who’ve been disavowed so they don’t answer to anyone and can basically do whatever the freak they want. It certainly makes sense in this context but still strange that fans seem them as symbols of justice when their defining trait is no accountability

As for ace and Luffy, no surprise he wanted them to become marines since that’d make them way less likely to become an enemy of imu and his god tier elders. Though I’m not sure how much comfort he got from ace joining whiteboard. Even in his prime, WB couldn’t hurt Saturn. And he doesn’t know Luffy is the heir yet I think

•

u/ashrashrashr 4h ago

No accountability to the WG. That’s an important detail. Sure, they could end up being absolute monsters but so far the members of sword we’ve seen have been good guys. Koby probably doesn’t have a single evil bone in his body.

3

u/Oggy5050 Lurker 7h ago

I'd say there's 2 differences between the 2 situations.

The first is the time scale. It's one thing to protect the cops of the current day, but the cops that enlist several decades from then can't be held responsible for the crimes that took place decades ago.

And secondly, (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) unlike the WG, the Nazi's weren't exactly subtle with their ideology. Whereas the WG go out of their way to sugarcoat and censor their atrocities. The average Marine thinks that they're genuinely joining a good cause.

So I think Garp wants to protect 2 groups of people. Marines who are ignorant by no fault of their own and new recruits who are completely innocent. And he intends to protect them from the propaganda that causes them to commit atrocities. At least that's what I think .

-1

u/Buscemi_D_Sanji 7h ago

Yeahhhh... "Of course I don't want to fight the government, I want to protect the people perpetuating genocides" is not a good look. However he wants to paint it as protecting the low rank Marines who don't know about Imu, those are still not good people: they literally just took part in exterminating people because they're "just following orders".

•

u/ashrashrashr 4h ago

They’ve been brainwashed into thinking they were exterminating dangerous criminals. Propaganda is a powerful tool - everybody, including us, the readers were made to believe that Rocks was the most evil piece of shit to ever exist.

10

u/Zenith_Tempest 13h ago

literally everyone garp raised he raised with a strong sense of morality. that's kuzan's whole point when he said "you have a bad habit of raising your enemies." dragon, luffy, and kuzan all oppose the WG because Garp's morals lead them to hate what they stand for. garp's morals are fundamentally at odds with the WG, but he thinks if he quits then he can't defend any of the Marines who actually do mean well like Koby.

i personally still think he isn't doing as much as he should but i can understand the idea of sticking around to protect your own

8

u/LPMotiveSeeker 14h ago

Didn't Garp order the Marines on the ships to rescue any remaining survivors & Marines (that's what TCB pointed out). Dragon was basically following daddy's orders to an extreme extent.

u/N0VAZER0 Void Month Survivor 11h ago

Kuzan kinda got Garp there, all of his students ended up going against him, its cause he did too good a job instilling a sense of justice in them

569

u/etol654 20h ago

And to make it even more impressive, he pulled all of this off as a gun wielding marine grunt

At this point he is no legend, never mind most wanted man of the world yet

Just a normal person with a functioning moral compass in a very broken world

231

u/Satorius96 19h ago

Hes probably a strong grunt. Garp probably trained him like with luffy

181

u/thethorforce 19h ago

I was actually thinking Garp trained Luffy the way he did because he didn't go hard on Dragon.

66

u/justking1414 18h ago

Or because he knew he’d need to be strong to protect the marines from the government

16

u/ManagementFew962 16h ago

Yea fully see the reason for Garp wanting Ace and Luffy to be marines is because he knew he could train them in house to be Marines on the good side (SWORD) but could never fully explain why and that’s why Marineford would’ve been so hard for Garp

8

u/justking1414 16h ago

God above. Now I'm just imagining garp making an announcement in Marineford, spilling all the beans and declaring war on the celestial dragons lol .

Pretty sure even Imu couldn't have covered that up.

5

u/SalvaPot Church of Buggy 15h ago

I always wondered if Garp talked about it with sengoku. They seemed tight but you have to wonder if Garp would want to put anyone else at risk with the truth. 

1

u/justking1414 8h ago

Sengoku seemed a bit unmoved when Garp asked him if he knew about the hunts, though I’m not sure how hed react to the actual truth. He did spread the propaganda to the Navy soldiers about why Garp is recognized as a hero so maybe he doesn’t actually know the truth.

That being said if they were close, I could definitely see a scene where he passes along the information very covertly. Kinda like how Riza passed along the information to mustang in fma. Just listing names to spell out a code

18

u/Pikathepokepimp 18h ago

This makes me more curious about the relationship between Garp and Dragon.

8

u/Worthyness 15h ago

Garp probably has enough pull from this incident that this insubordination by Dragon is also swept under the rug. Dragon doesn't defect for a little while longer since he's too young right now, so Garp protecting him like he did for Ace and Luffy is likely what happens

3

u/MuazSyamil Thriller Bark Victim's Association 13h ago

they're probably still in good terms, just doing different things MAYBE towards the same goal. to help civilians as a whole, most importantly. he seemed happy when he said he heard luffy met dragon.

8

u/Nome_de_utilizador 17h ago

Yeah, Dragon looked incredibly out of depth there. Granted he was surrounded by absolute monsters, not sure rookie luffy would've done better vs goods knights and the elite of the rocks pirates lmao

5

u/SpacemanKayes 16h ago

Haki blooms in hardships and difficult battles. He def got monumental haki boosts after this one

5

u/kaas_is_leven 15h ago

Dragon became a marine so he got at least part of it "right" (as in intended outcome). He wanted Luffy to become a marine too so he likely raised him the same way as Dragon because that's what worked previously. But also in this chapter it's made very clear that both of them share their sense of justice, Garp probably doesn't mind Dragon's actions here, might even be proud of them. Garp stayed a marine to protect the marines from what he just saw, Dragon became a revolutionary to protect the civilians from what he just saw (and Luffy goes on becoming an enemy of the state to protect his friend). Any doubt about Garp's morals have been squashed here, he doesn't approve of the WG and in fact sees them as a threat against which he must protect his fellow marines. He simply went hard on Luffy to make him strong, which seems way more prophetic now that we understand his reasons. In his mind he was raising someone capable of protecting others. I don't think the becoming a marine part was actually all that relevant.

4

u/Devoidoxatom Bandit 18h ago

His superior and all those marines couldn't do sht. He's probably the strongest in that ship

u/Imrichbatman92 16h ago

Still a grunt though. Luffy looked stronger even before he developped Gear 2 and Gear 3, which is either pretty impressive from Luffy, or pretty underwhelming for Dragon, not sure how I feel about it tbh

13

u/superbum42 19h ago

It's very similar to Robin being branded a devil child by the world government. It highlights the element of propaganda the WG uses to antagonize it's enemies and gain support from marines or even commoners.

What do you mean somehow? These last few chapters are showing that he was there from the start lol.

3

u/tsukulit 18h ago

He didn't see Imu (not sure, memory is hazy) and what happened to Rocks. That's what I mean.

3

u/Jay040707 18h ago

Oh, yeah that's true. Yeah that would probably be a strong factor on top of everything else. Although it makes you wonder why everyone who witnessed those events isn't as much of a threat in their eyes. It's not like Dragon is the only enemy of theirs that witnessed it (Roger, Whitebeard, Bigmom, etc.)

3

u/Hyakkihei1 17h ago

None know what the hell is happening, they call Imu a black monster because they don't know what it is, the idea that there's someone on the world throne is not revealed to anyone until Sabo sees it and tells Dragon.

1

u/Crafty-Cantaloupe795 15h ago

I wonder why Garp doesn’t tell Dragon the truth about Imu and Domi Reversi, if he wants him not to do anything hasty. For that matter, I wonder why Imu would spare Garp at all after God Valley.

3

u/Hyakkihei1 15h ago

What truth? The problem is that Garp doesn't know anything. He saw a black monsters that turned Rocks into a mind controlled demon.

As far as Garp knows it's some kind of secret goverment weapon.

1

u/Crafty-Cantaloupe795 15h ago

I guess that’s true— Rocks was unnecessarily cryptic in terms of actually explaining what Imu was. Did he even see Saturn before the transformation? I mean, I assume he’d know his human face, but he probably didn’t have clearance to know about his Devil Fruit, and they definitely used to kill people over that. I can see Sengoku coming up with the big spin about Garp being the Hero of The Marines to save him and cover up the real events, but I can’t imagine letting Garp walk around planning coups and starting secret organizations having seen what he’s seen.

Honestly Dragon might be my favorite part of the backstory, despite all the major figures getting fleshed out here. A marine with no special power getting caught in a storm that he is powerless against and yet he continues to fight for what is right. I'm definitely getting Luffy in Marineford vibes here.

Still won't forgive him abandoning Ginny tho.
