The One Piece franchise is one of the biggest in Japan’s history, making it highly unlikely that it will simply end with the main story’s conclusion. Similar to how Dragon Ball and Naruto continue to thrive with sequels and spin-offs, One Piece is expected to follow a similar path. Oda himself has expressed interest in creating additional stories once the main series concludes.
Among these ideas, the most notable is a side story centered on Monkey D. Garp. Oda has stated that he has a “magnificent story” planned for Garp, which would explore his relationships with key figures such as Akainu, Aokiji, Smoker, Hina, Coby, and even Roger. Given Garp’s complex role as a Marine who opposes the Celestial Dragons, his story could provide an entirely new perspective on One Piece’s world.
Garp’s Relationships and the Untold Story of the Marines
One of the most compelling aspects of Garp’s story would be his relationship with Gol D. Roger. Despite being on opposite sides of the law, the two shared mutual respect, leading to intriguing interactions that remain shrouded in mystery. A side story could finally explore their dynamic in greater depth, showing how their rivalry shaped the world.
Additionally, Oda has mentioned wanting to delve into Garp’s dealings with Cipher Pol, the secretive organization that serves the Celestial Dragons. Given Garp’s disdain for the world’s corrupt ruling class, his interactions with Cipher Pol would likely be intense. This could also shed more light on the hidden workings of the government, a topic that fans have long speculated about.
