One Piece Chapter 1126 Confirms Garp’s Current Status

The Straw Hats are sailing towards the Land of Giants, and we are on the cusp of the beginning of the Elbaf arc. With the recently released Chapter 1126, One Piece shines a light on the happenings around the world and gives an update on the current status of Monkey D. Garp.

Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers for One Piece chapter 1126. Proceed with caution.

In One Piece Chapter 1126, we visited the Blackbeard Pirates on Hachinosu Island, who are on the move to claim the One Piece treasure. During their group discussion, Aokiji, aka Kuzan, confirmed the current status of Monkey D. Garp, who we had been worried about since their clash.

Aokiji, one of the Titanic captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, fought against his mentor Garp in the Egghead. Garp had to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his Marine squad. When we last saw Garp, he was in a completely frozen state, the result of the devil fruit powers of his pupil.

Consequently, Garp’s exact condition, whether Luffy’s grandfather is dead or alive, wasn’t revealed until Chapter 1126. However, in the latest chapter, Aokiji confirmed that Garp was still alive.

Aokiji also remarked that he was aiming for the kill, but Garp survived in the end. While Blackbeard was disappointed with Koby’s escape, capturing Garp, which is an even bigger fish, was a wonderful consolation prize for them.

If you are worried and wondering if Garp is dead or alive? Chapter 1126 includes a panel that shows Garp being heavily chained up, which further confirms his current status in One Piece.

In this chapter, the Blackbeard Pirates were seen drafting plans to advance in the race to get the One Piece. So, as predicted before, Garp will be the ultimate trump card for them in this race. So, let’s see what Oda has planned for the future of our favorite old man.

That said, what do you think Blackbeard is going to do with Garp in the future? Share your opinions in the comments section below.
