Monkey D. Garp looked as he landed his final punch against the secret bastard Imu. He closed his eyes, now succumbing to his wounds, as he saw his son and grandson kill the bastard. He smiled and closed his eyes.

He then opened them as he saw a glowing figure in front of him.

"Monkey D. Garp, you have done a lot of good in your entire life. As such, you will be granted the privilege of reincarnating in another world with your memory and power, plus one wish."

"Eh, really?"

"Yes, we can't send you back as it's against the rules, but we can send you to the future."

"Well, I don't need anything really except what I already have—my hands. And they are all I need."

"I see. Then what about enhancing what you already have?"

"Really?"

"Yes, knowledge of martial arts of all kinds, from your dimension, to help you."

"Eh, I haven't used any. I just punched my way through, but they're dead useful."

"So, what do you say?"

"Sure."

Garp then felt a searing pain as he learned about different martial arts, like Rokushiki, Ryusoken, Hasosoken, Newkama Kenpo, Black Leg Style, Jio-Ken, Fishman Karate, Fishman Jujutsu, Kappa Style, Oden Two-Sword Style, FoxFire Style, One-Sword Style of Flower, Mihawk's Sword-Style, Holy Knight Sword-Style, Seimei Kikan, and Ninjutsu.

"Heh, that's something."

"Also, you will be compelled to master all of them and refine them even more. I've given you the knowledge and skill of the best swordsman ever, so have fun. Also, you won't remember this conversation, and from now on, your name is Garp Smith."

A long time later, Garp was resting in his home. He could not believe he had got to live again. When he had died, he had just opened his eyes again as a newborn and continued his life by joining the Navy before he retired and moved to another country. He found he didn't age much. A hundred years later, the world suddenly knew about Meta Abilities. As the years passed by and science caught up, he found he had two Meta Abilities. It seemed Haki was his first Meta Ability, along with his second Meta Ability that slowed his aging and kept his body in peak conditioning. It seemed even his children inherited his powers, but not always. He helped rebuild society and became the first hero in America, on Rhode Island, having tons of fun beating up villains.
