[Discussion] Garp the strongest one piece character!

[Punk Hazard]

didnt read but roger, shanks, whitebeard > garp

And Kaido, the three Admirals from pre-skip, and Mihawk. At the very least.

Akainu wasn't ready for Garp let's be honest here Sengoku saved his admiral. Not everyone's hype carries over I know that but I think we can all agree Shanks, Mihawk and Garp

Please. Akainu would extreme diff Garp. He could take on the World's Strongest Man, go toe to toe with him, take the strongest shockwave Whitebeard used throughout the entire war, and came back with no significant injuries.

Top 5

But he is often overrated.

 

[Blockerman3D]

While he went toe to toe with Roger, Roger turned himself in when cornered in the end. He was sick and dying. Garp was comparable to Roger though, and had faced him many times, presumably to draw or defeat. I seem to recall a line about Roger never running from a fight once it began. Garp never let himself become lazy and likely gained in technique what age took from him. I'd definitely rank him top tier. Besides, aren't the Marines always trying to promote him? Their strength based hierarchy wouldn't allow for that if Luffy could really one punch him.

Akainu v WB wasn't a straight one on one, I'm not saying it would change the result but it would have impacted the conflict drastically had they both solely faced each other from the onset. Plus what I said is still kind of true, Akainu wasn't ready for Garp at MF he took him by complete surprise with a bloodlust, Sengoku saved Akainu that day. Had he anticipated Garp it may have ended differently but that's all speculation what we saw was Garp was ready and in a position to take out Akainu and even Sengoku must have been worried seeing as he stepped in.

Why do people forget that whitebeard already had a stab wound, he was old, not in his prime, and was sick. His crew members told him not to leave the medical equipment blah blah but he did it anyway to fight

 

[Insidious Smile]

I believe Shanks and Kaido are the strongest characters in One Piece. Garp is past his prime, I doubt he rivals Akainu in power.

 

[Forbidden Tale]

-he is the ONLY one that was able to go toe to toe with roger (almost killing him in the end) and from this alone we can gauge his strength as stronger than shanks and also whitebeard cos roger was definitely stronger than whitebeard

Something that's where not true, because,

it was stated that WB was the ONLY one who can fight with Roger equal, while on the other hand Garp could only corner Roger, which is not the same. WB > Garp, Roger > Garp.

-also we see many times the marines are reluctant to make him fight...why?
-because he could destroy the whole place with his punches!, we see in his fight against don chinjao that he trained by using 8 MOUNTAINS!!!! as punching bags wtf!

This is true.

-also in his fight with shikki we see the whole of marine ford destroyed at the end (due to his punches)

Again, this is not true. It was never stated that it was destroyed by his panches, Sengoku and Shiki where there as well.
It's not even safe to assume that Garp is stronger than Shiki, considering both Garp and Sengoku fought with Shiki.

-when he went to visit luffy in water seven, we see the speed he used to get past sanji and chopper after breaking the wall to knock luffy

True, but I don't see why this feat, say that he is the strongest OP character.

Pretty sure everyone who is near Admiral or above Admiral level could do that.

-at marineford war he sent marco flying with one punch and the punch caused marco to change back to a human! (half)

True as well, but why Roger, WB, Shanks and others couldn't do the same?

-he was certain he could kill akainu!!!

As above, why this prove that he is stronger than Roger or Whitebeard.

-when tsuru and sengoku wanted to go chase down roger during that mysterious war, tsuru was like garp could destroy the ship just by being on it! they dint want him to accompany them.

True.

-also if we go by this reasoning: dragon can beat luffy so garp can beat dragon!

This is logic I don't understand at all.

So, Naruto is stronger than Boruto, so Minato is stronger than Naruto, then?

i just feel he is one of the most underrated characters in one piece...
who do you guys think can beat garp???

Garp is sure somewhere in the top of One Piece. Just below Roger and WB, with possibility of Shiki and Dragon being stronger than him.

 

[Bogard]

I feel that Garp is overrated. People think he was on similar level with Roger or Whitebeard because of a vague statement that can be interpretated differently especially when plenty other manga evidences suggest that he was below that level. Infact it's not even certain he was stronger than Shiki or Rayleigh

 

[bajram]

At prime he was just below WB and Roger, during Marineford I'm not sure where he stands power wise since his abilities nor his standing were never showcased pre-ts but after marineford I'm pretty sure he is below any Admiral/Yonko, he has probably grown too old and is probably at this point now irrelevant to the story to be up there with the top-tiers, I can see him being around first and second mates of Yonko pirate crews currently but it doesnt really matter anymore hes irrelevant to the story and I doubt we will ever see him fighting except if its for flashbacks such as the Chinjao one, but he was strong during his prime yeah...

He was equal to roger they fought countless battles where they nearly killed each other that puts him on the same level as roger and wb. Ppl are being ridiculous now those words are from roger which is clear as day. Only a few ppl on nb can screw up something so plainly obvious but you guys still do. Garp was the hero of the marines which is the best hype anyone from the marines got everyone just has plain descriptions of their power.
