Please note that this content may contain spoilers for those who have not read the chapter.

The recent release of One Piece chapter 1088 has brought joy to fans as they witness another fantastic addition to the captivating Egghead Island arc. True to expectations, this chapter revolves around the events on Pirate Island, ultimately concluding the intense battle between the Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates.

Fans had expressed their hope that the story wouldn't shift to another setting, and fortunately, Oda stayed focused on the narrative. A significant emphasis is placed on Garp and, later on, the upcoming generation of Marines in this chapter of One Piece.

Garp's Ideology

Oda brilliantly showcases Garp's ideology to fans in the opening of One Piece chapter 1088. This flashback takes place when Koby was a fresh Marine, and Garp seizes the opportunity to impart a lesson. Garp poses an intriguing hypothetical scenario to the rising generation of Marines, asking what they would do if they had only one boat and had to rescue an old man and a baby. Koby, known for his kindness, suggests sending the old man and the baby on the boat while sacrificing himself. However, Garp disagrees, believing that in such a situation, the youth should prioritize their potential and safety by leaving behind the old man while sailing with the baby.

Despite receiving a stern reprimand for teaching this philosophy to the young Marines, Garp stays true to his beliefs. Fans witness this firsthand later in the chapter when Garp exemplifies his ideology during his ultimate battle against the Blackbeard Pirates. Even in the present timeline, Garp, despite being severely injured, rises once again to fight. Being a legendary figure, it is expected of him to persist in the face of adversity while many other characters would succumb.

Garp's Last Stand

Oda has a knack for empowering his seasoned characters in his series. Just as he did with Whitebeard in the Marineford arc, he now bestows similar strength upon Garp on Pirate Island. Despite sustaining severe injuries, Garp rises once more, determined to provide an opening for the Marines to take action. Helmeppo, Koby, and Prince Grus are the main fighters enlisted in his plan. Koby's task is to dismantle the hand heading towards the Navy ship, while Prince Grus aims to shield the vessel from falling debris. Meanwhile, Helmeppo's role is to impede anyone who attempts to pursue the aforementioned duo.

Simultaneously, Garp himself seizes the opportune moment to demonstrate his capabilities. This is a remarkable sight for fans who anticipate Garp to continue his relentless battles. Despite his weakened state, Garp not only triumphs over Kuzan but also penetrates the island with sheer force, delivering a devastating strike named Galaxy Divide to Pizarro. The impact of this attack shatters the island's colossal skull effortlessly - a reminder of its massive size. By creating this fracture, Garp affords the Navy the chance to perform their duty as the protectors of the people. And indeed, it is exactly what they proceed to do.

The Future Of The Marines Act

All three characters, Koby, Princess Grus, and Helmeppo, excelled in the chapter. Helmeppo successfully prevented any pursuers from reaching Kobe and the Prince, while the Prince showcased incredible abilities. Koby managed to imitate Garp's movements and, although not as skilled, he was able to halt Pizarro's advance. Fans were surprised to learn that Koby had been secretly training even harder to become stronger, utilizing Battleship Bags to enhance his strength. As a result, Koby became immensely powerful, and his punches were now on par with those of a legendary figure known as the Hero.

Using a skill called Honesty Impact, Koby was able to stop Pizarro's arm, causing it to be completely destroyed. This technique appeared to be coated in the Color of Armament, but it is different from Supreme King Haki. Regardless, its power was so intense that it annihilated the arm. This allowed Prince Grus to use his Gunyo Gunyo no Mi ability to create a massive spider web, preventing the debris from falling on the ship. Both Koby and the Prince displayed incredible teamwork. Helmeppo then came to Koby's rescue, saving him from falling into the ocean. The three of them safely reached the Navy ship and successfully accomplished the mission assigned by the Navy.

Return To Egghead

The final page of the chapter was undoubtedly one of the most intense moments in the story that fans have witnessed in quite some time. Garp, who put up an incredible fight against the Blackbeard Pirates, was pierced through the chest by Kuzan and nearly froze to death. Before being frozen, Garp proclaimed that the Marines, including prominent figures like Kujaku, Hibari, and Tashigi, are the future of the Navy and that this incident would strike fear into the hearts of pirates worldwide. Garp was ultimately frozen and his current fate remains unknown. The next morning, the narrator mentioned the newspaper, which revealed the news of the Navy's Hero, Garp, disappearing after invading Pirate Island.

The newspaper also carried another astonishing piece of news: Emperor Straw Hat Luffy was facing a prolonged siege on Egghead Island, the island of the future. The chapter concluded with a thrilling glimpse of Egghead Island, with Kizaru and Saturn leading naval ships, signaling the start of the Egghead Incident, a war against the Navy. Fans are brimming with excitement for this upcoming event, and anticipation is already sky-high, as expected.
