Background

Garp was born on a small East Blue island with a village resembling White Wax Island. Before joining the Marines, he lived as a drifter: he fought pirates he encountered, aided merchant ships, and avoided Marines. He eventually concluded that his fists alone were too slow to confront the sea’s many pirates, so he enlisted for the Marines’ ships and reach. 13

During an earlier East Blue deployment as a sergeant, Garp and Bogart pursued wandering pirates through the Konomi Archipelago, only to find that another force had already killed them. The incident led to Bogart’s promotion to staff sergeant. 64

Appearance

Garp is a burly, broad-backed man with graying short hair and a physically imposing build. He usually wears a Marine coat marked “Justice,” though he dresses casually during visits to White Wax Island. 14 65 93

• Broad, sun-bronzed back and shoulders. 14
• Often wears a distinctive dog-head Marine hat. 93
• Commands a warship with a dog-head figurehead holding a bone in its mouth. 65 91
• His casual clothes include a worn navy shirt, rolled sleeves, and slippers. 92 93

Personality

Garp treats serious matters with a loose, often comedic manner, eating rice crackers and complaining even while discussing pirates with combined bounties exceeding 400 million Beli. Beneath that informality, he is direct, decisive, and attentive to threats. 64

He is perceptive around the Uchiha family. During his first visits to White Wax Island, he noticed their controlled reactions to the recovered pirate bodies and suspected that Marcus’s household was not an ordinary shipwright family. 14 65

Garp values Marines who combine strength with judgment. He approves of Damian’s decision to give the Mythical Zoan Buddha Fruit to Sengoku, regarding Damian as the type of officer Dragon should learn from. 93

Abilities & Skills

Hand-to-Hand Combat

Garp is renowned within Marine Headquarters for fighting ability users using only his “iron fists.” 84

• As a drifter, he routinely fought pirates alone. 13
• His reputation is sufficient for Sengoku to cite him as a benchmark among the Navy’s Golden Generation. 84
• His casual pats and punches carry considerable force; Roy remarks on the strength of his strike against Dragon. 14 93

Pursuit and Tactical Assessment

Garp is an experienced pirate hunter who quickly evaluates enemy conditions and selects probable hiding places or targets. 64

• Pursued Mad Lion Lane from the Grand Line to the edge of the Calm Belt before Lane escaped into the East Blue. 64
• Correctly judged the depleted Raging Lion Pirates to be cornered and likely to either hide or conduct a replenishment raid. 64
• Ordered a search of the Konomi Archipelago, identifying its small islands and docks as likely hideouts. 64
• Redirected immediately toward White Wax Island after learning pirates had questioned a rescued boy about the Uchiha Clan. 65

Interrogation and Observation

Garp questions witnesses calmly but precisely, obtaining actionable details without escalating their fear. 65

• Questioned a pirate victim about the attackers’ ship, personnel, direction, and interest in White Wax Island. 65
• Noticed Roy’s fleeting reaction when he mentioned the washed-ashore pirate bodies. 14
• Recognized the Uchiha family and remembered Marcus’s name years after his first visit to White Wax Island. 65

Equipment

• Dog-Head Warship — Garp’s oversized Marine warship, distinguished by its dog-head figurehead, three gun decks, iron-clad bow, and battle damage. 65 91
• Marine coat — Worn with “Justice” on its back; Garp places it over Marcus Uchiha’s body after the battle on White Wax Island. 77
• Dog-head Marine hat — A distinctive cap Garp casually leaves in the Uchiha family home during visits. 93
• Rice crackers — His habitual travel snack; he leaves his final bag beside Marcus’s body. 64 78

Relationships

• Bogart — His longtime adjutant and navigator. Bogart provides intelligence, carries out orders, and is accustomed to Garp’s casual attitude during serious operations. 13 64 72
• Marcus Uchiha — A White Wax Island shipwright who repaired Garp’s warship years before the Raging Lion Pirates’ attack. Garp honors Marcus after his death by covering him with his own Marine coat. 15 77
• Damian Uchiha — Garp recruits Damian directly into the Marines after the Uchiha family defeats the Raging Lion Pirates. He later considers Damian an exemplary Marine and brings Dragon to White Wax Island to learn from him. 78 93
• Dragon — Garp’s son. Garp repeatedly brings him to White Wax Island and disciplines him harshly when he loses focus. 82 93
• Gray Uchiha — Garp leaves Gray a signed copy of The Path of Justice: The Marines and the Government, addressing him as his “future comrade.” 82
• Roy Uchiha — Garp first observes Roy’s guarded behavior as a child; their later interactions are openly playful, with Roy teasing Garp about the force of his punches. 14 93
• Sengoku — A fellow member of the Navy’s Golden Generation. Garp’s frontline strength is a standard Sengoku wishes to match after receiving the Buddha Fruit. 84

Hunt for the Raging Lion Pirates

As a Marine Headquarters colonel, Garp is sent to the East Blue to capture the Raging Lion Pirates after their robbery of a Celestial Dragon transport.

White Wax Island Aftermath

Garp reaches White Wax Island after the decisive battle, finds Marcus dead and Lane defeated, and oversees Marine cleanup operations. Recognizing that the Uchiha family eliminated a pirate crew whose core members held combined bounties exceeding 400 million Beli, he offers them direct enlistment into the Marines and personally takes Damian to Headquarters. 77 78

Visits to the Uchiha Family

As a vice admiral, Garp continues visiting White Wax Island aboard the Dog-Head Warship. He discusses Damian’s refusal of the Mythical Zoan Buddha Fruit, approves of Damian’s strategic reasoning, and brings Dragon to observe Damian as a model Marine. 91 93
