The Hero Falls? Garp vs Kuzan and the Rise of Coby

The raid on Hachinosu (Pirate Island) will go down in history. To save his beloved pupil Coby, Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp invaded the territory of a Yonko alone (well, with SWORD).

What followed was a heartbreaking master vs. student duel: The Fist vs. The Ice. But the real headline isn't just Garp's strength. It's the awakening of the "Future of the Marines."

 

Garp's Final Lesson: "Justice Will Prevail!

Garp displayed why he was the rival of Roger. Even in his old age, his Galaxy Impact leveled the town. However, facing an infinite army of pirates and a former Admiral (Kuzan) took its toll.

• The Sacrifice: Just like Whitebeard at Marineford, Garp chose to stay behind to let the new generation escape.
• Is Garp Dead? The episode ends with Garp frozen by Kuzan, laughing. While his fate is unknown, his will has been passed on.

Coby's Awakening: Honesty Impact

The most shocking moment was Captain Coby. For years, fans mocked him. But in this battle, he finally proved Garp right. To destroy the island-sized arm of Avalo Pizarro, Coby unleashed "Honesty Impact"—an attack that mirrored Garp's own destructive power, complete with black lightning (Advanced Armament/Conqueror Haki).

Coby is no longer a crybaby. He is an Admiral-level threat in the making.

Conclusion: The Future is Here

With Garp out of action and Coby awakened, the Marines are changing. The old guard is fading, and the new "SWORD" faction is rising to challenge the corrupt justice of the World Government
