Thanks to the success of the live-action series, the previous arcs of One Piece are once again in the spotlight, and fans are now once again interested in these stories. One of the most important characters in these arcs was the formidable former Marine, Morgan, Helmep's father. In this article, we will tell you what happened to Morgan and where he is now, i.e., whether he is alive or dead in the series.

At the time of writing, Captain "Axe-Hand" Morgan is alive in One Piece, but since he hasn't appeared or been mentioned since the Alabasta Arc, we don't really know his current state. He was a former Marine officer and the officer in charge of the Shells Town Marine Base. However, after his shameful defeat at the hands of Luffy and his friends, he was stripped of his rank, as he was discovered to be a tyrant who abused his power. Although he was tried and convicted for his misdeeds, he escaped from the Marines and went out to sea, never to be heard from or seen again later in the story.

The rest of this article will focus on the character of Captain "Axe-Head" Morgan and his ultimate fate in One Piece. "Axe-Head" Morgan is, in many ways, a special character. Even though many fans have forgotten about him because he appeared early in the story, there is a renewed interest in him and his story, and this has motivated us to write this article, in which we will reveal everything we know about his character. fate, which is revealed later in the manga. This article may contain a significant number of spoilers, so please be careful while reading.

"Axe-Head" Morgan survived his trial and is now alive, but his current condition is unknown, as he has not been seen or heard from since Alabasta.

Fans who have been around since the beginning will surely remember Morgan "Axe-Head," the first real Marine officer introduced in the series and the first real antagonist of One Piece (no, we're not counting Alvida). Now, because we haven't seen or heard from him in a long time, many fans have forgotten about this villain, but the live-action series has renewed fans' interest in him, and that's why we're going to tell you what exactly happened to him in the series.

Morgan was born in Shells Town. He later joined the Navy and rose through the ranks to reach the rank of sergeant. Three years before the beginning of the story, Morgan and his crew decided to bombard the Black Cat Pirates' ship; however, Kuro approached in a rowboat and defeated them all.

Morgan lost part of his right forearm but was the only survivor, so the enemy put their foot on his mouth while he was lying on the deck, breaking his jaw, which explains his physical appearance later in the series.

Later, thanks to his skills, he became a ship captain and was given command of the Shells Town base. Thus, he became the leader of the 153rd Division, where no one dared to challenge his authority, and Morgan did not hesitate to eliminate those who disobeyed him. Citizens were also intimidated to the point of making him offers of money.

Before Luffy and his friends arrived, he had a brutal episode in which he wanted to kill a little girl simply because she had entered a place where she was not supposed to; it is true that by the time Luffy, Zoro and Nami arrived in Shells Town, Morgan had become a true tyrant who openly abused his power; his son, Helmep, often abused it for his own benefit, although they never had a proper relationship either.

When he discovered his son had been beaten, Morgan agreed to meet Zoro and tried to convince him to join him, but when Zoro refused, Morgan tied him to the cross, hoping he would starve and exhaust him there. Later, he sees a boy trying to free Zoro, who is however shot by one of his subordinates.

He soon orders his subordinates to shoot him, but Luffy suddenly arrives, acting as a shield with his body, deflecting the bullets back to the sender, leaving him stunned. Morgan declares that the boy is not just any boy, and remembering that the Marines once told him about Devil Fruits, he guesses that he must have eaten one.

Seeing him determined to free Zoro, he orders his subordinates to stop him by slicing him up, since bullets have no effect. He then shouts that those who oppose him are signing their own death warrants, but then he is stunned to see that the swordsman has been freed and has parried all the attacks with the marines' swords, who remain frozen in fear.

Morgan then yells at them not to stand by and watch, urging them to attack their enemies, only to be left speechless when Luffy knocks them down with a single blow.

Some of his subordinates claim they can't beat them, so he tells them to shoot themselves immediately, as he can't have cowardly subordinates. Luffy then attacks him, even telling him to try to sentence him to death, to which Morgan replies that stupid people without titles have no right to oppose him. He then attacks him with the intention of killing him and reminding him of who he is, but the boy dodges the axe blow, which cleanly cuts through a fence and the adjoining wall, which falls to pieces.

The pirate double-kicks him in the face, knocking him to the ground, which angers him and immediately returns to attack, yelling at Luffy that he is doomed, but again, the latter dodges his axe and tells him that he is not dead, then kicks him in the face again.

The pirate then grabs him and hits him again. While Helmep threatens Luffy to stop; otherwise, he would shoot Kobi, Morgan gets up and prepares to use his axe on the pirate. However, Zoro intervenes, defeats him, and knocks him unconscious. Morgan is subsequently imprisoned and convicted of abuse of power by the Marines.

So how did this story really end? After his trial, Morgan is handed over to Garp's ship for safekeeping. However, the vice admiral suddenly falls asleep in front of him, so he takes the opportunity to injure him, free himself from the handcuffs, and take his own son hostage.

He then boards a boat, which is only attacked by cannon fire thanks to Kobi's intervention. However, this allows Helmep to rebel against his father, who throws him into the sea. Morgan then manages to escape aboard this lifeboat. Later, he takes a nap on his boat as it passes Jango's boat as it sails away somewhere. He is alive but has not been seen or heard from since.
