One Piece (dub) Episode 68 Page

This is the first major introduction of Monkey D. Garp in the anime. In the Funimation dub , there is a minor error where he is referred to as an "admiral" instead of a "vice admiral".

Because this arc is vital to Koby's growth, it was adapted much earlier in the Netflix Live-Action series, where Garp's pursuit of Luffy and mentorship of Koby are central themes from the start.

The episode follows and Helmeppo , who are now working as cabin boys for the Marines under the command of Vice Admiral Garp .

Fans often cite this episode as a turning point for Helmeppo, transitioning him from a "caricature" villain to a character with genuine emotional depth.
