General & Others Garp needs to take an L for this manga to be taken seriously
- Thread starter Sugoi
- Start date
Since you think Kid and Law are Luffy's biggest rival and think Blackbeard should job to Law this late, let me educate you.
DRESSROSA ARC
This is Law versus Doflamingo.
This is Luffy versus Doflamingo.
WHOLE CAKE ISLAND ARC
This is Brulee gossiping about some Supernovas including Kid versus a Sweet General.
Now here's her gossiping about Luffy versus the STRONGEST Sweet General.
WANO ARC
Kid and Law beating Big Mom together.
Luffy beating Kaido alone.
PRESKIP BLACKBEARD
Here's preskip Blackbeard doing what WCI Luffy could barely pull off.
POSTSKIP BLACKBEARD
This is Blackbeard right after the timeskip.
You notice a difference between Blackbeard and Kid and Law? Kid and Law have been consistently used as hypetools for the next big bad and achieved lesser versions of Luffy's accomplishments. Blackbeard on the other hand has been way ahead of Luffy since their starts as pirate captains (don't get me started on his crew being portrayed as "better" versions of their Straw Hat counterparts). Luffy doesn't have to catch up to Kid and Law. He has to catch up to Teach. If Luffy still has yet to catch up with Teach, why would Teach job to a lesser pirate than Luffy all of the sudden?

Marines were never eos antagonist types, that’s your own expectation failing you. They were never competent, and a bunch of clowns just like real life cops. Admirals also aren’t really endgame material, at least not for Luffy, he already beat a yonko, and one of the stronger ones. It was always the world government side and BB that are EoS villains. BB’s not looking so good though. WG can be separated from the marines, and we need new fighters against the bulk of the good guy side, not for Luffy, Zoro, Sanji. They can fight admirals and Imu.
Garp getting offed while never getting to interact with Luffy or Dragon again while they're preoccupied with some other substantial shit in real time would feel odd as fuck. Especially when Oda previously said he wanted to draw Garp having a lot of interesting interactions with other character including the ones I mentioned above and within the marines.
Disregarding all of that potential that aside only to justify BB pirates, not even at half of their strength to get their "shine" by killing Garp sounds dumb as fuck and the usual iF hE diE iT goOd fOr sToRY rhetoric that a lot of you dumbasses keep bringing up.

Yeah Garp getting captured or not leaving the island unscathed is almost a given at this point. But saying Garp not dying here would be bad for the portrayal of BB pirates (who already spread thin) and the overall tension of the story is dumb af.
It's just choosing to be oblivious of how many things Garp is still tied to in the story while echoing the usual bs rhetoric of tension and deaths with a closed mind.

We have seen how useless BB crew are, even BB said it himself when the Seraphim showed up. One shot by Magellan, one fisted by Sengoku, one swinged by S-Hawk, mero mero'ed by Hancock and Burgees got clowned by Sabo. So, it's safe to assume they won't live up to the hype.
The scenario I can see is Garb fisting everyone and telling Sword to leave then Blackbeard shows up with a captured Law, goes mad and grabs Garb but not for long because of other parties involved who could pull surprises. There's Kuzan, Smoker, Sengoku, Moria, Cross Guild etc. BB will retreat as always when he sees himself outnumbered.

He just landed one, the enraged Garp, leaping from airships and performing a named attack, can't match one or two swings from an actively angry Kaido, who made an enormously massive trail surpassing the dimensions of an island easily and making it tremble from end to end. Garp's attack only destroyed a few buildings. It was said by Green Bull that the heat breath of a Momonosuke who was still learning to use his powers had the capacity to burn down an entire city, and they don't even come close to the versions that Kaido can perform. LOL
Now I see why the entire old generation was used as hyper propulsion material for Kaido.

Well, who else is on the island? Moriah, Perona, plus various other prisoners probably willing to enter the fray alongside Garp and crew. Perhaps Perona notified Mihawk about her sittuation and the treasure on the island. That could conceivably get Cross Guild involved. If that happens, BB's crew is pissing their pants.
How is Luffy's greatest pirate king rival losing to Rayleigh beneficial? BB losing, winning, or drawing to Law has little to advance the rivaly unless Luffy has to somehow rescue Law and crew. Law is more important to OP than half of the SHs.

He obviously isn't as strong as Luffy but give the dude some credit here
