The recently releasedOne Pieceanime episode 1121 has finally brought an end to the thrilling battle between Monkey D. Garp and the Blackbeard Pirates. While Garp managed to accomplish his mission of saving Koby and the rest of the civilian prisoners from Hachinosu Island, he himself had to stay behind and get captured for the rest to escape.
The fight has now been deemed one of the greatest battles of all time inOne Piece.It not only showcases the ultra-powerful moves of Garp but it also portrays the emotional suffering when a mentor and his apprentice exchange blows. Garp’s and Kuzan’s duel was the highlight of the entire Hachinosu Island war, as it reflected the powers of a formal admiral and the Hero of the Navy.
Kuzan turning his back on the Navy and joining the Blackbeard Pirates was truly a shocking moment, and this battle reflected his transcendence to the evil side. However, there are still someOne Piecefans who believe that maybe the fight between Garp and Kuzan was staged and that Kuzan is actually a spy who is trying to take down the Blackbeard Pirates by himself.
The Battle Between The Mentor and His Former Apprentice
Monkey D. Garp’s battle with his former student and Admiral Kuzan was being hyped as one of the greatest fights inOne Piece. And when the anime series returned after a brief hiatus, it highlighted the same battle, and it certainly did not disappoint. The battle also showcased flashbacks from the past when Garp used to train Kuzan, and they shared a great bond.

Since the beginning,Garp was dominating the fight, and Kuzan couldn’t match the monstrous strength of the Hero of the Navy. He unleashed hell on almost every crew member of the Blackbeard Pirates and took them quite easily. However, when Shiryu sneaked into him and stabbed him, Garp got seriously injured, and his eventual defeat was hinted at.
Still, after being stabbed, Garp managed to save Koby and the rest of the characters from Kuzan. The two exchanged blows that shook the entire Hachinosu Island, and eventually, Garp was taken down, marking an end to one of the best duels inOne Piece.
Is Garp and Kuzan’s Battle Staged?
Ever since fans have found out about Kuzan leaving the Marines after losing to Akainu, they have been confused by his intentions. However,One Piecefans were even more shocked to see Kuzan join the Blackbeard Pirates as the Tenth Titanic Captain. While some wholeheartedly believed that Kuzan had turned towards the evil side, others could notbring themselves to question his sense of justice.
Thus, manyOne Piecetheories about Kuzan being a spy were developed. While it has never been confirmed byEiichiro Oda, the majority of the fans have already assumed that Kuzan is trying to take down the Blackbeard Pirates on his own, and he potentially is a member of SWORD just like Garp and Koby.

If the theories hold any ground, there is a big possibility that this entire fight between Kuzan and Garp was staged to make Kuzan earn the trust of Blackbeard and his crew. After this battle, Kuzan might finally find out what Blackbeard’s goals are and what theOne Pieceantagonist is planning.
