Therefore, this time we will discuss the reasons why Monkey D. Garp is called a hero.

Reason Why Monkey D. Garp is Called a Hero
In the One Piece manga chapter 957, the reason why Garp can be called a naval hero is revealed. About 38 years ago according to the story on an island called God Valley, we can see Garp who teamed up with Roger to fight the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec.
The reason why Xebec is feared by many people is because Rocks is so strong that he managed to make other strong people become his crew. Rocks’ most famous crew are Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, Shirohige, Shiki, Captain John, Silver Axe and Ochoku.
The Rocks D. Xebec was then a terrible pirate group and had a bad reputation. Even characters like Garp had to be willing to work with Rogers to defeat Rocks.
After the God Valley incident where Rocks disappeared along with the island, Garp’s name instantly became popular across the seas. Because of his achievements, Garp was considered a naval hero and many idolized him.
Although Garp is now a role model for everyone, especially for naval members, only pirate veterans and marine veterans know the story or events of the God Valley incident.
Interestingly, even though Garp had achieved extraordinary achievements, he refused the title of Admiral, and because of this Kuzan thought that Garp refusing the offer of promotion was very cool.
These are the reasons why Monkey D. Garp is called a hero. After reading this article, do you think Garp deserves the nickname as a hero or not? Don’t forget to keep visiting Dafunda.
