So… is Garp getting captured? I’m not sure Blackbeard would kill him since he doesn’t have a Devil Fruit.
I hadnt quite considered the possibility of capture, same as how I didn't consider the possibility of Garp potentially losing. I mean his displays of power and speed. Especially being able to respond to a guy who can freeze an expanse of ocean near instantly is a huge display. I mean Garp was frozen, broke out of the ice and still managed to catch Kuzan. So you can see how I didn't really think he could lose- obviously I wasn't 100% on it though. But I don't see why one would not kill a heavy hitter like Garp given the chance. I'm not too sure of motive but One Piece characters sometimes don't follow tropes and will act in realistic fashion. To me it would be silly to let any of Sword leave alive. What kind of leverage is Garp for Blackbeard? I don't know of anything he could gain from the World Government he hasn't attempted already with trading for Bonney. So considering the fact that the Navy sets traps at parley, I would try to take out as many threats as possible.
As a very casual OP reader (not much time spent on speculation and theories), how do you factor in Garp being offered to the WG by Blackbeard as a holder of D.'s will now that Bibi saw what she saw?
