Yeah. Yeah. Garp Is Super Strong *YAWN!* [One Piece 1161]

What’s so great about God Valley again?

Other than everything that’s happening with Teen Dragon, Baby Shanks, Davy Rocks, Marshall Mathers D. Teech, and the poor innocents being hunted by rich authoritarians with unchecked power…I’m kinda uninterested.

I’m waiting…

I’m waiting to see Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny escape God Valley.

I’m waiting for Dragon to hide Baby Shanks in a treasure cheat so a pirate crew can take him away.

I’m waiting to see Dragon confronting a Garp who seems completely uninterested in acknowledging the Celestial Dragons MASS MURDERING the residents of an entire island!

I’m waiting for Rocks to— Hold up! Let’s talk about Monkey D. Garp for a second.

What’s Garp’s endgame?

Seriously, what the hell is it? He’s a member of the D Clan not murdered by the World Government, who rose to fame as one of their strongest and most loyal marines. How? How wasn’t he straight up killed for being a D? He hates the Celestial Dragons, so there’s no blind loyalty going on here. I don’t get it.

Is Garp the leader of SWORD? Probably. Either him or Kong. But, even if he is, what’s his ENDGAME? His ultimate goal? To destroy the World Government from the inside? If it is, it sure ain’t working. I’m just so confused about Garp. I really need to see his and Dragon’s conversation about the World Government. ASAP!

Now, where was I? Oh, yes!

I’m waiting to see Rocks’ fate. Does he really die? Who kills him? Imu? Even if he’s mortally wounded at God Valley, I don’t see Rocky dying there. I get the feeling he and King Harald are gonna met one final time before the flashback ends. If the Roger Pirates can escape God Valley, so can Rocks. Well…unless he’s betrayed by a member of his crew. Hmm…

Shakky’s saved by Rayleigh. Sure, whatever.

Yikes! St. Sommers’ a total dick. Can’t wait for him to get his in Elbaph, assuming anyone’s left alive to stop him after Loki finishes his five-hour story to Luffy. Wait a minute? If Loki’s telling this story, does that soft-confirm Rocks escaped God Valley and told Harald what happened, meaning Loki either eavesdropped or was told everything by Harald himself? Super Hmm…

This was an okay chapter! The real meat (tofu if you’re vegan) and potatoes of discovering Rocks’ fate, how certain characters get their devil fruits and escape, and how the God Valley Incident concludes (Will Imu make an appearance through Gunko?) is what I’m most looking forward to. This chapter’s merely the warm-up to the main act. Place your bets now whether or not Baby Buggy’s on God Valley too. Remember: We still don’t know the Genius Jester’s full name! Dun-dun-dunnnn!
