The Marineford arc in One Piece is hands down one of the best arcs in the entire series. The arc includes every element of a perfect storyline, from Garp fighting Luffy to Whitebeard unleashing hell on the Marines. It captures every emotion from the audience and from the characters, too. It also had the saddest moment, which involved Ace dying in the hands of Luffy.
Ace was killed by Akainu when he was almost freed by Luffy and Whitebeard pirates. This angered Monkey D. Garp, the grandfather of Luffy and Ace, and he was about to kill Akainu but was stopped by Sengoku. This not only reflected Garp’s love for his grandchildren, but it also showed how strong Garp is.
However, what if Sengoku didn’t stop Garp from going on to fight Akainu? Almost every One Piece fan has asked this question, and no one knows the right answer. However, one Youtuber has created the fight scene between Garp and Akainu, and it perfectly answers the question about what Garp would have done if he wasn’t stopped by Akainu.
What if Sengoku Didn’t Stop Garp?
During the Marineford Arc, when Ace is freed by Luffy and is about to leave the battlefield, Akainu, an Admiral at that time, instigated Ace by badmouthing Whitebeard in front of Ace which results in Ace fighting Akainu.
However, Ace was unable to harm Akainu despite his Logia intangibility, so Ace’s attack backfired because Akainu’s magma was his natural enemy and could smother Ace’s fire. Following that, Ace threw himself in the way of Akainu’s attack on Luffy. Ace was mortally wounded when Akainu’s devastating attack went through his torso, thus killing him.
This angered Garp to the point where he decided to kill Akainu but was stopped by Sengoku. However, if Sengoku hadn’t stopped Garp, fans would have gotten to see Garp’s strength and one of the biggest battles in One Piece history where Garp would have annihilated Akainu and eventually killed him.

Fan-Made Video Portrays Garp vs Akainu
A YouTuber by the name of Torra Tv released a video that showed the aftermath of Garp going on to fight Akainu. The animation and the fight scene development were spot on, and it not only showed Akainu’s devil fruit abilities, but it perfectly portrayed Garp’s iconic move: Garp’s fists covered with Haki.
The video showed how Garp and Akainu almost destroyed the island while fighting one of the most brutal battles of One Piece history. The video has almost 210,000 views, and fans loved the effort put by Torra TV in the animation of the fight scene. The YouTuber perfectly captured the essence of Garp vs Akainu.
The video also added some new moves used by Akainu and Garp, but ultimately, Garp was able to defeat and kill Akainu, taking his revenge for killing his grandson.
He also did it the same way as Akainu did to Ace by piercing his fist through Akainu’s chest. It was truly a perfect way for Garp to honor his grandson.
