In One Piece Chapter 1126, we are taken to Hachinosu Island to meet the Blackbeard Pirates, who are strategizing their acquisition of the One Piece treasure. During their meeting, Aokiji, also known as Kuzan, reveals crucial information about Monkey D. Garp— a character whose fate had been a source of concern following their turbulent encounter.

Aokiji, one of the Titanic captains in the Blackbeard crew, clashed with his former mentor Garp during the events in the Egghead arc. Garp had to make a significant sacrifice to protect his Marine comrades. The last time we saw Garp, he was left in a completely frozen state due to the formidable powers of his pupil.

As a result, Garp’s fate—whether he was alive or deceased—remained uncertain until Chapter 1126. However, the latest chapter decisively confirms that Garp is still alive.

Aokiji noted that although he aimed to finish Garp off, the venerable Marine managed to survive. While Blackbeard felt disheartened about Koby’s escape, capturing Garp represents a significant victory for their crew, providing them with a high-profile prize.

If you’re anxious to know Garp’s condition, Chapter 1126 includes a panel depicting Garp chained up, which further clarifies his present situation in the One Piece storyline.

In this chapter, we witness the Blackbeard Pirates crafting their strategies to advance in the quest for the One Piece treasure. As anticipated, Garp is poised to become a crucial asset for them in this high-stakes race. It will be intriguing to see what Oda has in store for the future of this beloved elder character.
