Monkey D. Garp’s amazing strength can only be taken down if Eiichiro Oda is up for a challenge to show that he has a weakness.
One Piece Episode 1115 came with a banger, showcasing Garp’s skills as someone who wasn’t just an average Marine. The fight between him and Aokiji was something that had fans staring mouth agape as Toei Animation surpassed all expectations with a single fight scene. The fight had been a spectacle to behold with every scene and frame capable of captivating the audience.

Eiichiro Oda’s work rarely fails to surprise and impress the fans and the latest episode was nothing short of the same. The fight wasn’t just a testament to Garp’s connection with Koby but also with Aokiji, who was his former mentee. It was a battle of not just growth and development but to prove that no matter what, the Vice Admiral isn’t a man to be messed with.

The fight between Kuzan and Monkey D. Garp had the entire One Piece fanbase gasping in shock because of just how much Toei Animation outdid themselves. The fight was one filled with epic moments and smooth sequences that made for a thrilling viewing experience that gave them literal chills.

The fight had many fans wondering if the power and strength showcased by the Vice Admiral at that age was of such a grand scale, his prime would be something absolutely unimaginable. Many even went on to demand a prequel series following him and his story, wanting to see just how powerful the iconic character really was.
However, with the level Garp showcased in the latest episode, it could be questioned whether or not his prime would really be too different from the kind of fighter he is now. This also begged the question of what could truly be capable of taking down the great Vice Admiral of the Marines.

Eiichiro Oda isn’t one to pull his punches, if a character needs to be killed off, he would do it no matter what the fans have to say. The story’s development is what is prioritized and some risks need to be taken to make that possible.
As a result, Garp has always been an extremely overpowered character with many of the fans even calling him capable enough to beat Akainu.
Bro could had really have killed Akainu.

This scene is proof that only Plot Armor could beat Garp.

Now I am convinced that why Oda wants garp to be silenced… otherwise he will be menace.

So he’s basically One Punch Man at this point.

The thing most capable of taking him down isn’t exactly a part of One Piece but within the grasp of Oda. Plot armor is what makes Garp such a strong character and relatively that alone can take it away as well. That alone can make him weaker with the way things are going.
At such a pace, it would be impossible to showcase Garp as a weak character when he can sprint through battles with ease. It wouldn’t make sense for him to step back during bigger battles unless the plot makes it so.
