Garp was basically saying if they ever get in a situation where they're overwhelmed that they should just leave him behind. He is a real hero

Koby and Luffy teaming up to fight the black beard pirates would be this generations God valley incident

A great way to interpret Conquerors haki is that instead of “One in a million being born with it” you could say that “One in a million people end up with the will to achieve it”

“What are you going to do, Coby?” “Live up to his expectations!” That line and panel turned me from a fan to a super fan of Coby. This whole sequence gave me Kamina and Simon vibes from Gurren Lagann. Garp was the only one on the island that wasn’t surprised at Coby’s strength. Lol even Coby was surprised.

I feel like Perona and Moria's escape would be part of a cover story.

It's funny how helmepo threatened to shoot coby with a gun way back when, but in this chapter he takes a cannon ball for coby.

I dont think Garp is really dead. He would deserve a real death announcement and not just a M.I.A to later announce: "oh yea he actually died already 100 chapters ago"

Koby's motto is honest justice. Truely, a kingly ambition.

Koby's character development is like the MC of typical shonen manga. It can be made a whole seperate manga circling him

Marines are definitely a threat now, before now they were neglected, but now in the final saga they are on the spot light which I just love! Oda is on his A game!

I was trying to tell myself that Garp wouldn't be dead. But then I realised that this is the tragic back story and passing on of Will for Coby, but it's in the present I absolutely loved the fact that Coby was naturally weak. But he put in the effort and now he is incredibly powerful All of Garps other pupils may have betrayed his wishes for them. But his final one will carry on his will

I think my favorite part of this chapter is Koby’s internal monologue right before he punched Pizarro. He looks so much like Luffy in that panel and I love it. Koby is Him

I honestly liked Koby's name for his attack. His first major step as a character was being honest in the face of danger by telling Alvida what he really thought of her. He was also the only one who had the courage to tell Akainu to his face that continuing the battle was wrong. Koby's honesty is a reflection of his intense will, and now that will is reflected in his attacks. Great character development.

man, this run of chapters of cutting away from the straw hats has been absolutely jaw dropping. Can't wait to see whats gonna go down on Egghead. Ive been a Koby fan since I started the manga, so seeing my boy do so well is so rewarding.

Coming to think of it.. Coby along the story has been an extremely pure hearted kid put into a lot of traumatising moments in which he had to choose to act in order to protect others. Thus, him awakening different kinds of haki (first observation as mantra in Marineford, and now CoC) is just proof of his pure character and strong will.

What I like in this chapter is that it shows that koby is not a rookie anymore but became a real menace for even the big pirates. It is really surprising to see him becoming so strong in juste 1 chapter but personally it makes me happy to see that koby is not a forgotten hero

I feel like Kuzan is not just disappointed that Garp won. If you look closely, his ice on his face looks as though tears flowing, then frozen in time.

Imagine if Garp had all his marine pupils. Ace, Sabo, Luffy and Koby would have been the strongest generation of marines.

I think on of the most impressive (and also terrifying) things about Koby is his rise of power in such a short time. He's only been starting his training for 3 years, 3 YEARS!!! Everyone else has had a 10+ year headstart, yet he's gotten this far in only 3? 🤯

Garp did not die, his will was passed on to the younger generation of Marines. GARP IS A REAL HERO

The colour spread sanji was super innocent looking despite not being such an innocent man

I actually think that moral lesson flashback was for Kuzan. What if he is willing to abandon the "old man", meaning the current marines, for a better future. I still think he is a spy playing the long game, waiting for that one key moment to turn the tables. Sacrificing his image, being called a traitor is something he is willing to do if that means he can achieve his goals. That in itself is noble. He does the dirty work, what needs to be done. Not a lazy justice, but a long, silent, arduous justice.

Garp holding off half of a Yonko crew, the half that also has Aokiji nonetheless. People need to realise just how damn impressive this is. Holding of an admiral level character is an immense feat alone. Rayleigh holding off just Kizaru was legendary & fitting of a man of his stature who hadn't fought in 20 years. BUT... Holding off an Admiral level character AND half a Yonko crew single-handedly WHILE ALSO doing serious damage to them is absolutely unheard of. On top of the damn fact he's also protecting others which makes things even more difficult! This is more than fitting for a man who was in the original Top 3 with Roger and Whitebeard. Garp is an utter monster

This color spread is one of my favorites. And I love that you can tell that it’s not only the East Blue 5 but the East Blue 5 from Arlong Park. Maybe ever. This did not feel like a death for Garp. It felt like the setup for another Luffy rescue mission. But I'm going to predict this rescue will be successful because the rest of the Straw Hats will be there. And he won't be fighting against other Marines as we say in this chapter, they’re reticent to go against a Yonko.

If a chapter has me making loud exaggerated noises to express the action on thecpage it's a 10/10 Koby and Garp had me going insane.

Helmeppo and Grus are perfect sidekicks for Koby. Helmeppo had the lowest bar to clear but my favorite line was when Garp and the three of them are left behind and he complains about being doomed and how he should've left with the others. But he didn't, he stayed with his teacher and peers even tho he was scared. And Grus makes up for Kobys bleeding heart, showing he is more able to make hard decisions. Plus seeing himself as a rival to Koby even tho he is technically higher rank than Koby is a really neat dynamic. He knows Kobys strength better than Koby himself. Overall the whole SWORD crew is fantastic and you can see how Koby is the glue of the team

That trade absolutely makes total sense. Obviously BB would rather have a valuable individual like Koby over some throw away grunts and a big ship he's never gonna use. Plus BB does whatever intrigues him and I can't imagine he would pass up the chance to test Kobys assumption about his own value to the Marines. That's the strength that comes from holding all the cards, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

So attacking the user of the island island fruit (with haki?) seems to hurt also the main body. In that regard Pica's Stone Stone fruit seems to be better

I know we’ve gotten used to the art in these videos but man is it so good I don’t feel like we appreciate it enough

THANK YOU FINALLY, I’ve always been a believer that coc is an ability that can be awakened rather than just having to be born with it because it never made sense to me that with all the ambition Zoro had he never used it and the when he showed it in Wano it seemed more along the lines of hose Luffy learned to use adv armament rather than when he awakened his coc at marineford, it’s so nice to finally hear a content creator share the same belief

Koby has become pure unadulterated awesomeness.

For someone like Garp, I reckon BB pirates will go all out with a grand display of his execution. That would send quite the message to the world if they did, and would be a perfect way have an all-out war begin, given both the Marines and Luffy have big stake in this situation.

Usually the Strawhats’ adventures aren’t reported until after leaving the island, but since we know the next days headline I suspect Stussy may be informing Morgans. I hope he delivers Vivi and that the newspaper alerts the Grand Fleet, though Barto might be busy with Shanks.

In 4:00 , i think there is an explanation why black beard exchanged all marines by koby. He might've known that koby is Garp's protégé and wanted Garp to go after him so he could get a much bigger fish to have an even higher bargain power

I think you hit the nail right on the head. I found myself rooting for Helmeppo during this bit on Pirate Island and like you said I guess it's because he is definitely the Usopp of the group. I think my favorite part overall though was after the joke with Grus earlier Garp not only said it to them but all the Marines on the ship that they are the future of the Marines. Was this his plan all along if Ace and Luffy had become Marines would he have given the same speech to them eventually as he passed the reins down?

My personal interpretation of Conquerer’s Haki has always been that it’s directly tied to Ambition. Other types of Haki can be simply taught through techniques and instruction, but CoC required that extra but if oomph that is an inherent part of your personality, and thus you cannot simply learn it, you have to have the right mindset, thus creating that illusion that you must be born with it. I don’t think Koby was born with much of anything. But his raw ambition in trying to train and meet Garp’s expectations is what allowed him to unlock it.

My thoughts on conquerer's haki: even if you are born with it, you still have to awaken it and the absurd levels of will and single-minded dedication required to do so is why there are so few users. There is probably a large fraction of the population walking around the One Piece-verse capable of conquerer's but since the conditions of awakening are so extreme, it remains inert

The whole "only some are born with Conqueror's Haki" might mean that only some are born with the will necessary to manifest it. Anyone *could* manifest Conqueror's Haki, but few will have reason to grow strong enough to do so.

Can't wait until this news breaks for Luffy and Dragon. (allthough i expect Garp to still be alive). Because even though they are enemies, i do believe that Luffy loves his gramps just as much as Ace and Sabo. And i do wonder so what Dragons feelings will be here, as we know basically nothing about their relationship.

Koby definitely has conquerors. The will to master himself has made him a conquerer in his own right. Its crazy to see how much he has grown as a character.

Giving Koby advanced CoC out of the blue like this really does take away from its legendary status. It’s supposed to be so hard to master that even most of CoC users cannot use the coating as per Kaido but Koby can use it just after training on a battleship.

These chapter review videos are always the highlight of my and my husband’s week! Love this one!!

i never really thought about it, but koby having COSK hake makes soo much sense

I am still not sure if we should immediately assume that Black Lightning = Conquerors Haki just from the fact that it also appeared when Ulti was charging up for an attack

I don't know about everybody else, but the one thing that I'm worried about the most that still hasn't been resolved is Moria. If Blackbeard persuades Moria to join him or just takes his Shadow Shadow Fruit, then I could see the Blackbeard Pirates doing some major mental damage with a little bit of grave-robbing and resurrecting Ace as an obedient zombie (and Garp if he does die).

Future Admiral Koby's mantra will be "Honest Justice"

Another cool thing that could get overlooked is how the Island Island fruit seems to work, or at least differ from Pica's stone stone fruit. Pizzaro got hurt when Garp and Koby hit the parts of the island he was having immitate his body, like hollywood voodoo. It might be because they used Haki, but Pica could only be hurt by hitting him IN the stone, Zoro had to cut Pica's stone into bits to narrow down where he was and keep him from escaping and then attack him, because Pica was puppeteering the stone, while Pizzaro seems to have a deeper connection to the island- which makes sense since he seemed to have a sense for the entire island like it was his body but Pica's actions were more like wearing stone like shapeshifting power armor. So the stone stone fruit seems to control less matter- not much less and pica can move it around so its just as good at terraforming just taking a little slightly longer- and potentially has better defenses because your own body hidden in the stone is the only part that can be hurt, While the Island Island fruit seems to control more, and give you more awareness of the land you are controling, at the cost of a deeper connection, which might be limited to Haki based attacks but maybe not. An advantage to that is potentially the effects could go both ways, letting weird biology quirks or special techniques affect the island, or even make it possible to treat parts of the island as your body for the purposes of Haki. Imagine someone using something like Sanji's Diable Jamble, or Luffy's Red Hawk with the island fruit, a flaming punch or kick the size of a mountain

Helmeppo-Coby friendship is beautiful. And it all started with Helmeppo putting a gun (Or a weird hammer spring contraption. Depends on what you watch) on Coby's head.

Now we see Koby as the potential rival to Luffy similar to roger and grap. I think Koby will need alot more feats to compete with gear 5 luffy.

Keep up the great work and videos Liam

I’ve been saying for years that Koby was going to have Conqueror’s Haki. What I think gets unederplayed by a lot of people is the fact that Koby’s story has always been a parallel to Luffy’s, just on the opposite side of the law. Their journeys began together, they entered the grand line, they both grew as people at Marineford and changed the course of history with their actions despite the fact that they both should have been far too weak to make a difference, both also really began to awaken their haki at the same battle, and at the end of the story, one will be pirate king and the other will be fleet admiral.

I remember when I first started watching One Piece, never did I expect Koby to have a piece in this story. I figured he would just be a fanboy and you'd see him maybe when we got those flashbacks to his old town cheering him on. Then we got training episodes with him meeting Garp, following that into seeing him again after Enes Lobby etc etc. I can't stop looking forward to just how far forward Koby is progressing, with him being in command of all the marines at the very end. I would love to see a team up of him and Luffy rescuing Garp as sort of a second chance for Luffy and for Koby's name to become even more insanely known.

Koby stood up to FUCKING AKAINU, fully prepared to die for his defiance! We should all feel STUPID for ever thinking he wasn't a Supreme King!

Yup, I knew this outcome was coming for Garp. The moment he set foot on the island to rescue Koby. Main reason because of the old GL saying. "Like poetry it rhymes!" Everything happening here with the Blackbeard Pirates feels like it is setting things to be similar to what happened years ago in God's Valley with Garp and Gol D. Roger taking out the Rocks Pirates. Luffy and Koby are going to be the ones to take out the Blackbeard Pirates! With the ending of this chapter with Garp going out with a smile, Oden style. Leaving the future up to Koby and the young sword marines. What a badass way for a legendary hero to go out!

''Kuzan is a f*cking asshole" that's what my mind was screaming when finished reading the chapter.

Hey GLR, I just need to shout out your artists because they are great, especially the one who does the mix between sort of chibi and regular. The live action Luffy in this style at 1:08 shows how great they are as an artist. And the Koby artworks as well. Superb.

There's a very similar vibe between Garp and Jiraya i'm feeling, both of them raised pupils who'd eventually "kill" them and their final pupil was the one that ended up carrying on their will.

Its baffling to see koby go from a chore boy to a pink haired garp

My Observation Haki is tingling. I feel like Oda is foreshadowing again "A baby and a Old man are stranded on an island full of fierce Beasts, Your on a boat that hold a maximum of two. What do you do". What if...Xebec saved Shanks by placing him in a treasure chest and the *FIERCE BEASTS!!! Was Roger and Garp. That chest was soon acquired by the Roger Pirates, During the Valley incident.

Kuzan saying that Garp has a habit of raising his most formidable foes and then Chad master Garp replying with "you're expelled, you dunce!!" Was my favorite mini moment of the chapter, and I wonder if the original Japanese text as even more connotation and depth, as it often does.

I love that Coby having conquerors haki is a thing now! At the very least he is partnof the discussion

I feel like Oda hasn't locked in what he wants to happen to Garp, hence the "missing in action", but him getting detained rather being executed is him willingly letting himself be detained

1:58 I feel like most people in that position would realize that a baby really doesn't take up much space and you could probably get all 3 on the boat

The wimpy attack name is very much in character with Koby's chaeacter. Definitely something Koby would come up with in the heat of the moment.😂

Dang next week we not only get the Strawhats back with the ominous incident in the manga, the anime will also be super hyped with the drums starting. I'm so exited! 🤩

First Kid, then Law and now Garp. Oda really likes getting rid off these 3 000 000 000 men during the Egghead Arc. Makes me wonder who will be next. Luffy? Kizaru?

Hi Liam!!! thank you for the upload! Any chance for a video recapping all the events in Egghead Island? it's been so long, and everything that's been happening has been so dense!

I wonder how Pizarro will look after Koby kicked his island form ass

Black beard is actively creating ALOT of enemies that he really shouldn't be missing with ( Dragon, Luffy, Sengoku, and by extension all their followers) i really hope it comes crashing down on him all at once...

was that conqueror's haki? I thought it was just armament... and then the hand was just pushed backwards with the punch, so it made contact and then the hand just bolted backwards. The arm looks like it's hitting Pizarro's face. Also when Burgess and Sabo fought in Dressrosa there was black lightning coming off of their punches so I don't think that only Conqueror's haki has black lightning

From years of watching One Piece, If I do not see Garp's Corpse, He is not death. Considering Garp's importance to series. I believe they would not have left his death to suspense.

Koby is the grandson Garp really wanted. I'm not saying he doesn't love Luffy, but Luffy is breaking rules, yet still dealing out justice for no reward. Koby was the perfect mold Garp wanted to shape, and this moment in the manga shows that his teachings will live on in the next generation and hopefully under a true Marine captain getting justice done for people, and not just to keep face.

If black lightings equals conquerers then Ulti has been using it for headbutts (she wasn’t)

Garp told Coby never doubt yourself in battle. Rayleighs words to Luffy was “to never doubt that’s Power” Once Coby got rid of his doubt he showed his true power.

I love watching the live-action and seeing low-level characters again and knowing the island-splitting monsters they are set to become

koby feels like the MC of the marines, what a true marine is all about.

Imagine if Koby stayed with Luffy instead of going to the marines

Kobi was riding with straw hat before zoro. His friendship with luffy is part of the reason Garp trained him. Remember at that time only Garp knew his grandson saved this young kid who wanted to be a marine. Kinda like luffy was like I’m a be a pirate grandpa but here’s a marine for you.

You are honestly the best one-piece review youtuber. Keep it up man, great job

With Aokiji’s expression upon Garp’s apparent defeat and you saying that the Blackbeard Pirates should now trust him, I get a mild feeling that this was a SWORD related plan somehow

Concerning Haki, wasn't it advanced armament that allows them to attack without touching the target? I mean, Luffy told Kaido near the end of their fight that Hyogoro had taught him how to attack without making direct contact. And he taught him advanced armament, not Conqueror's. I think Advanced Armament Haki is the one that grants the traits of "ignoring external defense" and "attacking without making contact", but the power boost itself is much smaller compared to Advanced Conqueror Haki. However, advanced Conqueror lacks those 2 special traits by iself. After all, I don't think we ever saw Yamato attacking without making direct contact (trait #1), and she was also unable to remove the exploding cuffs by herself (trait #2) despite having advanced Conqueror's Haki, while we know for a fact she lacks advanced Armament. Luffy was simply using both against Kaido. The raw power given by advanced Conqueror, but with the 2 special traits given by advanced Armament on top. So while I do think it's pretty likely that Koby was using Conqueror's Haki, I don't think him not touching Pizarro directly is what suggests it. I think that's just how his technique works, we know characters can use long-range Haki attacks without it having to be advanced Conqueror's.

Corbys advanced Busoshoku Haki is pretty strong I don't understand why so many think this is conqerors haki!

All these cooby rescue & reverie stuff is great, but now I can't wait to come back to egghead. It's been long enough since that cliffhanger. Sich a great timing

It wasn't in this chapter, but I feel the need to point out how poetic this whole fight was. At the beginning of the battle Garp told Kuzan that "Those who are indecisive are weak", a direct call back to his own weakness in Marineford. And now, Koby's decisiveness is what allows them to escape, while the "weak" Garp sacrificed himself to let them go. Regardless of if Garp dies or not, this is a perfect pass of the baton, it really hits how Koby "surpassed" his mentor in spirit with the contrast between Garp's indecisiveness and Koby's determination.

Feels like Koby has unlocked Advance Conqueror Haki. So if Koby has it most probably some of the Admiral also have it.

Koby doesn’t have the conqueror haki

7:14 I had the same thought! I reread the name several times just thinking about how it didn't feel quite right looking at the amount of destruction he wrought. Regardless, I love this vid. Had several moments where I had to stop and crack up for a minute.

Yea I agree it is unclear when it is CoC. Problematic, inconsistent examples are around.. Gr8 point about Koby not making contact tho that helps convince me. Ty GLR!

I feel like the best way to describe conquerors haki is an embodiment of the summation of ones will and ambition

Maybe Blackbeard initially took Coby because he thought he could turn him. I mean, taking one of the up and rising officers who is already known as a hero and that he's worked with before (for survival, but still), would be a huge shock to the Marines. Of course, it failed because Coby is a good bean of a marine, but Blackbeard likely thought he had a chance at it and hell, why not? In the case Coby doesn't cave and join his crew, he can always be used as tradesies (though, afterwards he learned that he could not, in fact, use Coby as tradesies). Makes sense to me.

Garp isn't dead. He's the new bargaining chip for BB to establish his island under the WG.

Koby legit had the biggest glow up in the entire series.

4:00 what are you talking about lmao BB himself gave the explanation: he wanted to use Koby as hostage so the the WG would recognize his kingdom

I have not heard anyone talking about the potential for shadowing for Kobys type of justice. I think Honesty Impact shows that Koby believes in Honest Justice. This would fit perfectly with his lesson in not all pirates being bad, as well as the actions he took to stop the War in Marineford after Aces execution. He stood his ground after accomplishing what the Marines had set out to do and advocating for ceasing the war since they accomplished their objective and that it was wrong. Would love to know your take on this my brotha from down under 💪🏽😁

As a long time Koby fan, this chapter made me unbelievably happy. Shout-out to Grus and Helmeppo, too!

Nice episode, good work.

I'm kinda interested in Pizarro's DF reacting as it does. He could feel activity going on on his shoulder, his face and arm were greatly affected by Koby and Garp's attacks, and his main body was still around and experiencing the pain in real time. I think rather than compared him to Pica, this is more like Robin's DF. She can emit hands everywhere, but it evolved to clones and giant limbs. We're going to have a Kaiju battle between Robin and Pizarro. Both of which need guards for the main body and have to really consider using themselves as big targets in large scale conflicts.

Similar to Pedro, Garp may have been beaten, but he won the fight completely

I think Garp's form of justice is fatherly justice like preparing his sons/daughter's for the future

I read the chapter last night, and my mouth DROPPED when i saw that punch. Since i was spoiled for the whole story, i'm happy now that I know how crazy One Piece reveals are.
