Monkey D. Garp

Monkey D. Garp (モンキー・D・ガープ, Monkī D. Gāpu) is a Marine vice admiral in the One Piece series. He is Dragon's father, Luffy's paternal grandfather, and Ace's adoptive grandfather. He took charge of Coby and Helmeppo's training. After the war, he retired from active duty and became a Marine Instructor who trains the new Marine recruits, though still retaining the rank of vice admiral.

Garp is one of the major active figures, along with Sengoku, Shiki, and Whitebeard, who saw the "King of the Pirates" when he was alive.

In the third game, he can be unlocked by defeating him in Dream Log mode.

Role in Games

Later, Garp finds himself fighting his fellow marines being brainwashed by the Frenzy Dials and Luffy's Coalition saves. After Whitebeard's death (or rescue depending on the scenario), Garp seeks to gain Akainu's alliance for Luffy.

Fighting Style
Garp is a very physical fighter and does not possess the powers of a Devil Fruit. Most of his moves revolve around grabs and grapples, which require an enemy to be grabbed in order to execute the full finisher. His crowd control ability is average, but he excels in single-target damage due to the many grapple moves he has at his command. His Special Attacks are the best for dealing crowd damage, while his normal move-set is more suited for duels. Garp possesses inhuman physical strength, as he is able to hurl cannonballs at enemies as if he were throwing baseballs at them. He can also lift up and throw a huge cannonball bigger than himself.
