Alright man, I been tryna tell y'all mfs. Sengoku/Garp/Ray are still capable of contending with the mid-gen top tiers. And that the grouping of Sengoku-Garp-Ray doesn't make any sense. Rayleigh wasted away his life for 20 years, didn't pick up a sword. Garp, even at the age of 76 was continuing to train himself and his body. Only pre-TS did he say "velocity has been declining recently", indicating he had only started declining from his prime in his 70s and pretty close to the story's start in fact.
Since then:
-> He was excited about Kaido+BM team up and their possible threat
-> He had 0 reservations about invading a Yonko territory
Now what happened? He put that ass whooping on Shiryuu/Kuzan/Pizzaro/Vasco/any other mf that was there. Rather than accepting the clear fact that Old ass Garp can still some of the yonko and admirals, y'all wanna creating coping excuses. Ohhh Shiryuu ain't him... Ohhhh Kuzan was distracted ohhh Kuzan was nerfed. Ohhhh Pizzaro is a fodder... LMAO. Y'all would rather create asanine copes to serve your preconceived notions of Old Garp, rather than accept the fact the OG is still HIM.
As for my fellow marine fans, I'm partially disgusted and just shocked at some of y'all for sticking up to a Yonko's underling to create fuck ton of random ass excuses for a Yonko's underling against the OG of the marines. What the fuck??? There is a reason when Oda decided to create the strongest Marines BY FAR in history of the organization, he removed Kuzan out of the Admirals and brought in two new Dogs, and kept the two mfs who had superior portrayal to Kuzan pre-TS. Cause he was the weakest admiral of the Marines.
He's not beating Borsalino, he's not beating Aramaki, he's not beating Fujitora, and mf alread would've been dead if Akainu didn't have a soft heart for marines. THIS MF IS NOT AN ADMIRAL, STOP DEFENDING HIM LIKE ONE. He's a Yonko Commander, The 10th Titanic Captain, Blackbeard's underling, not even the fucking No.2 on that crew. Jesus christ man.

As for the Old WB vs Old Garp... Garp would DESTROY HIM... Not a single gura gura punch is landing on Garp. But all them haki bustin punches are landing on Newgate's giant ass body with mediocre to no Haki.
Garp is the top 1 of his era, not the OG Roger, not Lamefather.
