Oda did draw Garp as a kid in a SBS. He was a rough and roudy kid like Luffy, Ace and Sabo, riding a tiger he had beaten with a pipe in one hand and a treasure chest in the other.
The Monkey D. family is truly the personification of freedom.
I love that picture of Garp it’s awesome lmao
A tiger, huh? Luffy with tigers also. I wonder if there is a drawing of Dragon with a tiger ?
I am pretty sure that Silvers Rayleigh has given himself over to civilians so they can collect his bounty and then escaped and then split the bounty with said civilians. You cannot convince me this has not happened atleast TWICE.
At least *twice* 🤣🤣🤣
@@PharaohOfTheDamned tell me it isn't true. And it'd be more based on how soon the Marines caught on.
@@faishiro5009 you are correct
I cannot 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
The way he conversed with the Giant at the auction house on Sabaody, it seemed as though it was his weekly routine or whenever the auction nwas going on pretty much.
Can't wait for the Garp flashback. I wanna see who managed to tame such a beast and become Garp's wife, as well Dragon's mother and Luffy's grandmother.
I’m betting Dragon’s mom was a tenryuubito
She probaly could of beat garp up
@@alfredhinton8792 I bet she was a monkey. Garp took her last name when they married.
did he have a wife??
@@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 why is everyone having this theory? What actually does make you think this i mean there is pretty much nothing that suggests this. If there is tho pls tell me thx.
Most of one piece characters can have a spin-off series of either their background, or their future adventures, or both. That's how good Oda is at crafting characters, in my opinion.
I'm down to see a señor pink spin off

Your not wrong from behavior to belief Garp is a top Tier
50 years was probably a more dangerous time, like the death of brooks entire crew, and with Rocks running around and how pirates had a much less romantic view to them so I doubt they wanted to be pirates because they didn't have great idols like Roger, Rayleigh etc. So I definitely agree it was much more noble looking to be a marine then.
Also a lot of marine corruption has come to light since then such as the destruction of ohara and really everything that the strawhats have stirred up. Plus maybe the revolutionary army wasn't doing that much at the time before dragon joined so joining the marines would seem like a much better option.
yo Tekking, I gotta correct you: O-Tsuru is Kinemon’s wife, who stuck around Wano Country after the death of Oden.
Tsuru is the Marine officer
Was gonna say the same thing!
I think they still call her otsuru cause it's an honorific
Kin'emon's wife's full name is Tsurujo, the shortened name is O-Tsuru, just like Kiku's full name is Kikunojou and the shortened one is O-Kiku. The O is just a honorific prefix for women's names.
@@saeedabdo2083, Tsurujo? Do you have a source for that info?
@@ProbieKnox Yes, the manga. In Oden's flashback chapter 960, her full name was 鶴女 Tsurujo, but Viz called her Miss Tsuru, which is not accurate I think.
My guess is that Garp's back story is all about him coming across some celestial dragons (he probably did some luffy type stuff at this age), had a series of crazy adventures leading to Garp being in a relationship with a celestial dragon, joining the marines (perhaps to save his son? you take me, but my son is free?) and dragon goes off to live his life and his wife dies? That seems tragic enough for one piece.
Like Tekking said, Garp joined the marines at 22, and Dragon was born a year later when Garp was 23. So unless he decided to join during the pregnancy for those reasons, it wouldn't make sense.
People tend to underestimate Garp when comparing him to the current Admirals.
Yeap like.... Whut the fuck. Prime Garp = biggest marine force.... Even old one... Wouldn't be surprised
Garp could defeat Marco with one Punch, the same Marco that could fight King and Queen for a long time.
@@cfrozen6210 don’t forget that’s a weaker Marco bc Marco was constantly fighting tyrants trying to take over WB hometown
@@cfrozen6210 Marco was fighting 2 over billion pirates at once but didn’t “defeat” them
I'm surprised. Anytime I think of Garp's strength of I remember the scene of him sitting in front of the execution platform & stopping Marco. I thought the implication was obvious: Garp's current strength is roughly comparable to at least that of 3 admirals in their prime (as is Snegoku's more than likely; perhaps Tsuru as well, though she seems to be more of a strategist than a combatant).
What about Woop Slap? I think he knows Garp very well, maybe they're some childhood friends who grow up together in the Foosha Village... and maybe he knows all of the Monkey D families
Two things you forgot in this video. 1. Garp had the scar when he was a little kid in the drawing Oda did of him, as a little kid, and 2. Oda confirmed in either an SBS or a Vivre card that Luffy wanted to be a pirate before Shanks ever came to Foosha, so he was not inspired by Shanks, Shanks is just the reason he wants to be the KING of the pirates
I was pretty sure 2 was the opposite. Esp going with the "party theory" luffy wanted to emulate joyboy as a kid, and then shanks inspired him to do that via piracy like Gol D Roger did.
Garps Backstory is the Top 3 characters I’m most interested in. Would love to see a flashback of his Ascension to V.A. And what crafted his current moral compass and distain for Nobels.
We all are, but it would really be hype to see him in a full flashback showing the god valley battle with Roger.
Some Rando: Aren't you going to go after him! He was the second in command on the Roger Pirates
Marine: No because he was the second in command of the Roger Pirates
Here’s an idea, what if a female celestial dragon decided Garp was gonna sire her a child because of his notoriety as a young rising marine rookie. The reason he doesn’t really talk about her could be he was kinda forced into it because of her status and the reason he refuses to become an admiral and take orders from the celestial dragons is because he was used and discarded by Dragons mother. Could also explain his relationship with Dragon a bit how he doesn’t really talk about him that much, not that he doesn’t love or like his son but he’s a reminder of his affiliation with the celestial dragons and what they done to him.
Kinda a dark spin, but seeing how Garp has the will of D and seeing how a lot of the celestial dragons look down upon anyone who isn’t a celestial dragon it could make sense. Kinda just running with the idea if Monkey D Dragon was of a celestial dragon bloodline
in regards to Dragon being born 3 months after Garp joined the Marines: that's not necessarily true! it's not like Oda said "Dragon was born the second that Garp became 23", but, rather, his age means that it was sometime when Garp was 23. therefore, it could actually be, at maximum, 14-15 months (if we assume that Garp joined the Marines around his birthday), with 3 months being more so an absolute minimum
I’m betting Tsuru and Garp got drunk after a fight against a powerful pirate crew and Garp convinced Tsuru to drink with them. Only to wake up the next morning hung over and in the same bed with Garp. 9 months later she passed Garp his kid saying: “Take care of this.” And Garp says: “I DON’T KNOW HOW TO RAISE A KID!” Before passing their kid off to Wood Slap to raise.
Could Garp have joined "because" his lover was pregnant?
If she was a commoner or another marine, it would have brought in a stable source of income during the pregnancy and helped him raise his family.
If she was a celestial dragon, then maybe that was basically to bind him to the government. I.E
"You want to be with her? you want to be with your child? Then you have to become one of us!"
I always felt like garp was a pirate turned marine because of either a tragic loss or by force to protect something or someone
Yeah i also think that too.. and also knowing the fact that oda drew garp as a kid with a pipe in a hand and a treasure in one hand. Its not really much but y'know, in one piece world, treasure is really heavily associated with piracy. And he looked really like a deliquent at that drawing, pretty much looking like what ace, sabo and luffy looked before. He must've been a pirate or wanting to be a pirate then stuff happened then he became a marine 🤷♀️
16:20
I saw a theory about Garp not being the father of Dragon, but a father-in-law.
So the duaghter of Garp is Luffy's mom witch might comes from a celestial dragon's womb, and it makes sense as Garp joined the marine, they introduce a higher-up on the Celestial Dragon as a wife.
That will put Luffy technically a descendant of a Celestial dragon.
Judging from the SBS photo of Garp as a kid perhaps his backstory was like Mowgli from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book and was adopted by a marine
Garp gave Luffy the same upbringing as he had. From the only picture we have it's clear that Garp was a wild child. Garp also had the scar next to his eye at that young age. So maybe it's self inflicted like Luffy or maybe it's a bit more sinister. I think that Garp first met Tsuru and Sengoku somewhere in the Grandline and that joining the marines is a plan that Sengoku came up with since he is a masterfull tactitian. The plan was to change the system from the inside, while keeping the D clan out of the picture so the WG would not enact a purge, effectively maintaing the current freedom the world has and improving it through legal means. The main reason for Garp to go ahead with the plan might actually be that he wanted to have a kids that got a better upbringing than him. It could be that Garp was a wild child because his parents where hiding from the WG. I reckon that Garp already knew about the D clan history (at least his own clan's) when joining the marines and if not then Sengoku informed him since i expect Sengoku's full name to be Gol D. Sengoku. (The Buddha fruit being the Devil fruit held by the leader of the clan)
Dragon's mother is just a guessing game but if Dragon was born only 1 year after Garp joined the marines than i think its more likey she is another D member than a Tenryubito. My theory is that Dragon's name comes from the D clan that Garp is the current head off namely the Azure Dragon clan of the East (the uo uo no mi was probably the Devil fruit of the leader of the Azure dragon clan before the void century). You can also quite easiy connect the other main D family's to the other Celestial Beasts. (Portgass - vermillion Bird, Marshall/Xebec - white tiger, Trafalgar - Black turtle)
Garp becoming Luffy's guardian might be similar to Ace's situation since we saw that he took Ace under his care after directly being informed by Gol D.Roger (the dad). So i actually think that in Luffy's case Garp was informed not by Dragon but Luffy's mom to take care of Luffy in case anything might happen to her. I suspect that the WG learned that she was a member of the Gol D. clan and assasinated her. But unlike with Roger i think Garp knew Luffy's mom quite well since i suspect that Luffy's mom is Sengoku's daughter. (Afro Luffy being foreshadowing ofcourse)
This means that the battle of marineford was a battle that had all the Clan Leaders of the various D clans participating.
And this also means that we currently have an Azure dragon (Kaido) duking it out with a Gold Dragon (Luffy) in Wano.
It says alot about Reighley that Akinu knew exactly where he was and decided, yeah if he's not causing problems, not even I will lead a task force to try to take him in.
Do you think it would be a coincidence if the day that Garp joined the navy is also the day that Roger asked Rayleigh to help him turn the world up-side down.
Somebody needs to actually draw the hypotheticals Tekking comes up with, the Gold D Roger turning himself in one especially that was literally hilarious😭😭😭
Honestly I'm unable to sleep without watching tekkings video ( comes out around 1-2 am) anytime I feel down, tekking talking about one piece cheers me up :) thank you much
What if Garp fell in love with one of the slaves of the Celestial Dragons? Leading to the death of the slave or something, causing this hate from Dragon (maybe a facial tattoo is a symbol of that, and the Dragon name similar to the Snow surname from GoT) also causing the rift between Garp and Dragon. As well as Garp has actively opposed his grandson's decisions to be pirates, but he has never spoken out against his Son's decisions afaik.
I'm still in favor of Zephyr eventually doing the Shikimove and becoming Canon part-time
Tekking being excited is honestly so cute and makes my day every time
Knowing Garp is obviously a D and that he's one of I think 2 Ds being in the navy. What is the will that he inherited? Whose will did he inherit? What are his ambitions? Has he achieved them?
I think his main ambition eventually became capturing Roger. Garp just seems like a guy who dislikes criminals and maybe the Rocks Pirates inspired him to join the Navy
Who said he inherited a will. Nah he made his own which he will likely give to koby
Personally, I think it'd be neat if Garp had a rough childhood because of pirates. We've seen that many, I'd argue the overwhelming majority are the more real-world type. Plunder, pillage, make people miserable so they can be a little bit happier. Especially in an age before Roger when the strongest pirate was a guy like Xebec, I can see him growing up on some no-name island, losing everything (except maybe Sengoku and Tsuru) and deciding "Never Again."
The marines are bad, yeah, but not all of them are. If they were people wouldn't support the world government so blindly. Be neat to see a time when the government was less established, closer to being the "good" guys just by comparison because things were pretty much a free for all and pirates were almost all just scum and villainy instead of romantic adventurers.
While this seems plausible dont forget that the World government runs a big propaganda scheme. I mean definitely not all of them are bad but the Propaganda is most likely the reason people Support them+ lots of pirates just go pillage yes.
@@ayke9288 Yea, there are pirates like Captain Kid who just kill to raise their bounties, and pirates like Luffy who just want to be free and share that freedom with everyone; but when thinking about The Marines, that's where things are truly *gray* . With marines like Akainu, the marines present for Ohara's buster-call (or any buster-call), those that know of the human trafficking and slavery throughout the world and are indifferent to it all (all in the name of bringing "unruly pirates" to "justice"), It makes you wonder how much does a fleet admiral or any admiral really *know* about the world and it's politics. Is it really indifference or ignorance? Propaganda is very prominent in One Piece, so whose to say that any good deed by pirates are even propagated by the WG? If you wanted to paint pirates in a bad light, It's not very hard to. To keep up the image and truly believe that The Marines are there to protect (highly debatable), you'd have to literally be ignorant to whole concepts and protocols. So in short, Each side got assholes and heroes, but who is seen as what is up to who tells the tales in the end.
Eh I think it needs to be something more interesting than that. We’ve already had characters who’ve suffered at the hands of pirates and hated them or decided to join the marines to defeat them and protect people. I think Garp needs to have something more in his backstory. Or no backstory and he just joined the Marines because he wanted to be on what he was told was the right side.
I think Garp is the most well written character in the series. I would love a prequel novel on his early days as a Marine
i can t wait to see Garp in a serious fight , breaking the ground into lil cubes , splitting the sky’s , running so fact looks like he’s teleporting type shit like bro we haven’t even seen Garp run or anything . he’s been putting in minimal effort in everything we’ve seen with him . i wish we could’ve seen him radiate conquerors haki when Sengoku had him planking or sumn bro i hated how he was just sitting there eating the floor like that smh don’t disrespect Garp like that again #PleaseOda
Dragon was born when Garp was roughly 23, meaning that Garp joined marines when his wife was pregnant. So, I think Garp fell in love when he was 22. The girl he loved said that she can't be a wife of a pirate/criminal (whom, I assume, Garp was at the time). And Garp gives her a promise that he will become a good man and to prove that he will join marines. And I think that promise is the reason why he never left marines even after learning how WG and marines are corrupt.
I don't get why people think that Garp met his wife after joining marines, if Dragon was born roughly after he joined. I think he was born 7-9 month after Garp joined, and Garp was 22 and few month old when he joined marines.
I kinde feel that Garp have that "join the victorious side" motivation in him, seems like he knows a lot, including Dragon's goal and a lot of secrets, but go ahead and securing his position in marine so he can't be touched.
But on another note I absolutely LOVE videos where you explain the world building/character aspects of the One Piece world. Also the theories too.
Feeling really down today and my anxiety is kicking up. My room feels as if it’s a closed in prison and I feel as if I’m close to just crumbling. Hearing the “Ooooh boy” at the start of the video helped, just had to mention that before I continued the video.
I'd like to point out that even in Japan a man can take his wife's family name (especially if she is from a prominent family and he is not) and Garp has never called Dragon his son, only refering to Luffy as 'my kid's kid.' I honestly think that Dragon married Garp's Daughter and had Luffy.
Maybe, but the fact that Dragon was able to organize an entire revolutionary army with the potential to overthrow the world government from scratch really convinces me that he inherited the will of D and the monkey family name that comes with it
@@stefannotchev7209 He could have gotten the will of D from Rocks D Xebec (who looks much mor like Dragon than Garp)
@@darthiraecorpus that’s a wild idea, but it’s not impossible ig
11:30 I feel like Luffy would have still been influenced by Ace and Sabo to be a pirate because they would inevitably meet and become friends but it might of been harder if Luffy didn’t have his devil fruit, well maybe but I think there’s a good chance he would have become a Pirate either way
That old man skit was gold. Thanks for the content.
The amount of times you switched between Otsuru and tsuru lolllll but great video bro. Love your stuff
I think we all can agree that Brook’s favorite tea is “pan tea”😄
I could see garp being at like a bar while pirates attacking and he’s not caring but then sees the hope and happiness that the townsfolk get kn their eyes when the marines arrive
“He delivered a roundhouse kick that would cause Chuck Norris to blush” bro I love when you’re just being you😂😂😂
Luffy met Shanks before he met Dadan.
The only reason he hated Dadan in the beginning is because of the mountain bandits who mocked Shanks.
I think you need to listen...he never actually said dadan was before shanks
@@metalmario1231 30:58
@@metalmario1231 32:00 what are you talking about
I am very happy! So excited for you to cover this!
Tekking: Tsuru was 2 years younger than Garp when they joined the marines.
Me: Ah, now she is like 5 years older than Garp...
My theory is: Garp was naive when he was younger and thought the WG did only or mostly good things. The mother of dragon was a Celestial Dragon (but a kind one) and Garp joined forces with Roger to protect her (and the other CD) from Rocks. But since Garp is of low birth the other CD sentenced Dragons mother to death for having a son with someone like him. Since then Garp hated them.
tekking: Do you want a video about an old dude, who is part of the antagonist organisation but still good. Or tea?
Uncle Iroh: Yes
Brooks favorite tea is Pan, of course.
Rayleigh was so nuts, Kizaru said he didn't have the resources to bring him in even if he beat him. The probably need special shackles or something since he can blow up sea prism stone.
Maby Garps love was a CP agent and thats how Dragon became so influential
because He knew how CP agents would infiltrate the revaluation and toke measures to stop them well in advance.
Also my headcannon is Luffy's mom was taken from Dragon similar to the guy Zoro saved and brought to a doctor at Sabaody and thats why hes a rebel
Finally fan favorite fister lore
Garp was ready to punch a hole in Akainu if Sengoku didn’t stop him
I don't think at any point it has been confirmed that Dragon is Garp's son per se. For example during post Enies Lobby, Garp only talked about Dragon as Luffy's dad, so there is a possibility that Dragon is only Garp's son-in-law.
Plot twist: Dragon actually did want to raise Luffy but Garp hid him away in jungles because Dragon laid pipe with his daughter and he's always hated him for it
@@goggles8691 Oh my... Now that you said it, it's the only logical conclusion!
_History Is Everything_ with Tekking101 > The history channel
damn man. i had a time skip of a year from your channel and you changed everything :O. room, mic, camera. nice :D
Okay but for real when the Tea video dropping, I'd watch the hell out of that
0:55
I do feel Brook is the least developed of the Strawhats. Like what are his values? I would really like some more morality with him. The closest to that was in Fishmen island where he got upset at the Fishmen pirates for saying their rage with live on. For Brook that's very upsetting cause he suffered so much to keep the legacy of his crew alive. Legacies won't keep themselves alive, you have to live for that.
Damn, that Old Man Matt told story about that Old Garp is HELLARIOUS!
The bits keep coming and I keep loving them.🤣Keep it bro!
Loved this video. Awesome to see you adding a very relaxed vibe to this. Keep it up❤️
Loved the old dude clip! I'm so glad more One Piece UA-camrs are doing skits; they're always great!
22:38 That old man lived a epic live :0
Why does Garp have to have met Dragon's mom after becoming a Marine? I personally find it a lot more likely for it to be someone he already knew.
More "Random Old Dude" Story Tekking in the future, please and thank you lmao
Tekking : making a half hour video about Garp's early life
Oda : ... kid ... i've already got the general picture, but i haven't even write the proper story for Garp
Tekking : so i beat you
I think a cool movie ideas would be a 2 hour+ movie about Garp and Roger during their childhoods and lives as a marine and pirate. A two sides of the same coin story. The climax could be the battle at God Valley and then in a potential sequel would show the last few years before Roger’s execution, with Roger’s execution being the end of the movie.
I actually wanted that tea video just to see what batshit crazy video tekking was going to make. But I guess the 10 videos about garp is nice too
Damn tekking you should be a salesman. Between the story of Legendery Garp and teas of Brook, you sold me that teas of Brook is the interesting one.
I wanna know how did Brook manage to have 50 yrs worth of tea while stranded on a ship
I hope we see Clancy Brown cast as Garp in Netflix's One Peice
Love how passionate you are about one piece, keep it up
*Sends kids to be raised by bandits and horribly abuses them every time he sees them*
"Wait, why aren't you marines?"
Makes it even more interesting to know what the f happened in his life and childhood to act like that lol. I mean you see he really cared about them just in his fucked up Fist way
At the 18:45 mark, so maybe you'll mention this, but going to post it here so I don't forget. What if Garp joined the Marines BECAUSE of Dragon's mom? Maybe he saw her at one point and through his friends decided joining the Marines was the best option to get closer to her. I have no doubts 22 year old Garp could throw down with the best at the time, quickly rose through the ranks and got to be closer to this mystery woman and then... Dragon. The time line does make it hard, but given that he had Dragon when he was 23 means, assuming he joined the marines on his 22nd birthday, he had a maximum total of 14 months(23-9) to meet with Dragon's mom and become a father while 23.
just watched this and there is one other mystery with Garp. How does Garp know Dadan and why did he trust her to raise Luffy and Ace.
You should make series talking about the One Piece cover series that weren't adapted in the anime since they are cannon yet NOBODY ever talks about them. Each video can be like a chapter review foe each cover series. Most One Piece youtube channels just briefly mention them during a chapter review but none have made videos actually dedicated to each cover series which is cannon
I’d like.a prequel of garp, sengoku amd tsurus marine journey. Maybe showing how garp got kind of jaded about the marines pursuit of “justice” . Maybe building up to him fighting Roger and eventually teaming up to fight xebec. I think they would have a fun dynamic
Love Garp and his character
This is all I’ve ever wanted from you.
Thank you for a great video guys
I actually voted for the tea video, that would’ve been fun.
This Chinjao head thing reminds me a lot of when Luffy gets cartoonishly squished by Kaido, before popping back out
Matt you are gifted!!!
Thank you for all work.
You keep saying that Garp had to have met his wife in the first few months of being a marine, and therefore she had to be a marine or world government person, but the other theory is Garp joined the marines because he needed money to support the family he was about to start with his lovely wife.
Tekking your new mic is a dynamic mic which means it only take sounds that are close and directly into it. If you want to be able to just be anywhere and talk anywhere and it will sound good, use a condenser mic. You used to use a condenser mic
tekking is finally getting protagonist antennas on his hair, next thing we know, he's teleported to a isekai world
as a british man i am disappointed that we didn't get a brooks favourite tea video
Now I just want to see Brooke and Uncke Iroh sharing some tea with each other. Lol
Tou know what we have never seen in one piece, a treasure hunter. I'd like to believe garp was a treasure hunter in his younger days
Hey Tekking, can you make a Garp VS Akainu video? It's tiring to always see that issue get posted on every One Piece fb group and I was thinking maybe you can settle things once and for all 😁
27:31 best moment
I love how close the poll was
I wonder what's going on through Tekking's mind after the latest chapter, seeing the old geezer at the end made my brain spark
Plus Coby and Aokiji were also trained by Garp
Old tekkin in survery squad jacket is very funny lol 🤣
yo Tekking, you should make a “which is stronger” video Kaido’s scales or Luffy’s sandals lol
Brook's favorite teas? "Panteas"
Omg I love the history channel logo for the old man thing🤣
I'm a simple person. I see Tekking. I click.
I think how garp joined was that he was first an adventurer, he wanted to explore the seas, then he met sengoku and tsuru and there was another one we dont know about, and in their travels the 4th died during a pirate attack, so they joined the marines together vowing to stop the pirates from hurting the innocents
What if Garp joined the marines so that he could have the status high enough to date dragons mother. Whom I believe was a noble of some kind in Goa.
