• Kizaru questions whether Garp knows Kahn, since Kahn originated from the East Blue. Garp conceals the truth that Kahn is his grandson, angrily pretending to know nothing about him.

• Despite Kizaru’s warnings and injuries, Garp orders the Marine ship to head toward the Goa Kingdom. Publicly, he claims it is his duty as a Marine; privately, he intends to protect Kahn and prevent the World Government from provoking him into attacking Mary Geoise.
• Kahn stands atop Mount Colubo after destroying the Celestial Dragon and fleet. He explains to Ace, Sabo, and Luffy that overwhelming physical power allows someone to break the existing “game” and establish new rules.
