You know I just learned that this stupid ass character was on Hachinosu when Garp got caught, what does he even do ?
My head canon is that Garp told Bogard to stay behind and guard the ship. If Koby hadn't destroyed Pizarros arm, Bogard would have.
I'm wondering if Bogard is like the Sabo of the Marines: Garp dies, but Bogard, like Sabo with Ace, continues his legacy. Garp has a lot of death flags.
I think current Bogard should be around current Rayleigh’s level. Maybe a bit stronger, since he's still active.
