After 25 years of exciting storytelling, Eiichiro Oda has finally started unveiling the secrets of the Void Century. With the manga coming close to its conclusion, fans will soon witness the famous Gol D. Roger’s treasure, the One Piece, and its connection to Joyboy. Amid recent manga developments, One Piece continues to make waves online as the anime showcases the Navy Hero’s immense strength.
With the recent One Piece episode, Monkey D. Garp has finally shut down all the retirement allegations fans held against him after witnessing Garp’s grand entry at the Pirate Island. Although Garp was considered one of the strongest since the beginning of the anime, fans weren’t expecting such a display of immense strength, especially when his prime days were said to be long gone.
Garp’s Haki has made fans curious about his prime days and iconic rivalry with the King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger. While Garp was feared among pirates for his immense strength, his most notable feat was defeating the Rocks Pirates, the strongest crew in One Piece‘s pirate lore. Garp and Roger formed an ultimate alliance to take down Rocks D. Xebec, in what became known as the God Valley Incident.
The Famous Side Lore of One Piece: The God Valley Incident
Garp’s signature attack, Galaxy Impact, astounded several fans and left them surprised by the Marine Hero’s true strength. Garp earned his title of ‘Hero of the Marines’ after crushing the Rocks Pirates in the God Valley Incident, forcing the strongest pirate crew to disband.
After witnessing Marine Hero’s immense strength, many fans are wondering about Garp’s peak strength during his prime days. Eiichiro Oda has numerous times highlighted Garp’s immense strength and respect among the Navy soldiers. However, the time when Oda sensei focused extensively on Marine Hero’s strength was during the God Valley incident.
Interestingly, Garp and Gol D. Roger formed an ultimate alliance to take down Rocks D. Xebec, the captain of the Rocks Pirates. Rocks D. Xebec was a prominent figure four decades ago before the Pirate King Gol D. Roger came into power.
Even after OnePiece ends, its world has so much potential that it could continue for a long time. Just imagine all the possible spin-offs and sequels pic.twitter.com/1qaWsrnfQT

The Rocks Pirate crew included some prominent figures such as Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard. Although the Rocks Pirates became relatively unknown to younger generations, Sengoku described the crew members as very violent and vicious, as they would kill friends and foes alike.
They looks solid
