Karp was extremely powerful. First of all, he had displayed outstanding combat ability in the battle. He was able to fight against many powerful enemies, including the world's top pirates such as One Piece Roger. When he was young, Karp was unrivaled in the sea. He fought the entire Locks Pirates alone and defeated Roger with his equipment. The officials claimed that at his peak, his combat power was enough to fight against four Sea Emperors at once. Blackbeard, Kaido, and the others were not his match. Back then, Locks had Emperor-level pirates like White Beard and Aunty under him. Even when they joined forces to fight against Karp, they could not win. From his combat experience, one could see his great strength. He punched Luffy, who was eating, awake. As a rubber man, Luffy would not feel any pain when he was punched, but he could not fight back against his grandfather's punch. He punched the captain of the White Beard Pirates, Marko. Marko had the ability of an animal-type magical beast, the Undying Bird, and could fight to a draw with the general, the Yellow Ape. However, he was knocked down by Karp with a punch. He also punched Bagis away. In the second half of the battle, the Blackbeard Pirates appeared. When Bagis wanted to ambush the Sengoku, he was knocked down by Karp with a punch. He knocked down Green Pepper, a bounty criminal worth 500 million yuan, with one punch. Green Pepper's head was sharp and hard, and it could push open the frozen land for many years. However, it was beaten down by Karp. He had also forced the pirate king Roger into a desperate situation many times, and the power of his hand-thrown cannonballs was astonishing. He had quite a high prestige in the navy, even the admirals avoided him. Qing Zhi said that he refused to be promoted, but he actually had the strength of a admiral, and even Lei Li was afraid of him. Ka Pu even said that he wanted to kill the Red Hound. If it wasn't for Zhan Guo stopping him, the Red Hound would probably no longer exist in this world. In terms of domineering aura, the navy doctor suggested that Kobe, who had just awakened domineering aura, learn from Karp. This meant that Karp's mastery of domineering aura was a benchmark in the navy. His armed domineering aura had already reached the top. Judging from his disciple Kobe's later performance, he should be very strong. He might still be hiding the power of the domineering aura.
Although Karp was in the navy, he had indirectly saved Luffy many times. When Karp refused to be promoted to a general, Qing Zhi admired him very much. When Qing Zhi met the straw hat group, he only attacked Robin and let Luffy and the others go. It was a show of respect for Karp. When they were in Chambord Islands, Huang Yuan was a junior of Karp. He attacked the supernova but didn't attack Luffy. After capturing Sauron, he didn't kill him for a long time and waited for Riley to save him. In the movie version, Luffy met Zefa, and Zefa let Luffy go. It could be that Luffy had conquered Zefa because of his good personality, or it could be that Zefa was afraid of Karp's face. During the war, Luffy faced the three generals directly. Huang Yuan and Qing Zhi didn't kill him. Qing Zhi stabbed Luffy, and Huang Yuan kicked Luffy to White Beard, also because of Karp's face. These circumstances showed that Karp's identity and influence had saved Luffy from danger many times.
In episode 887 of One Piece, Peach Bunny told Capukedo and Aunty that they were going to join forces to deal with Luffy. Tea Pufferfish talked about how Luffy's bounty had reached 1.5 billion and he had become one of the Five Kings. After hearing Tea Pufferfish's words, Capu said," He's just a hothead!" The 9-word evaluation of Luffy showed that Karp knew about Luffy's 1.5 billion bounty and the fact that he had become one of the Five Princes.

One of the main things that make it strong in fanfiction is the creative use of its basic properties. Writers can make Luffy use his stretching in ways that are not shown in the original manga or anime. He could stretch his internal organs to survive otherwise fatal blows. Or he could use his stretched body to create complex structures for defense or to launch multi - directional attacks. This freedom of creativity in fanfiction enhances the perceived strength of his Devil Fruit.
In the original story of One Piece, there was no scene of Karp killing Riley. Although there were doujinshi works depicting the battle between Karp, Sengoku, and Riley, doujinshi works could not be equated to the original setting. Karp and Riley were both powerful characters in One Piece. Karp was a naval hero, and Riley was the vice-captain of One Piece Roger. In the original plot, they did not have such a life-and-death situation.
According to the latest information from One Piece manga, Karp had many experiences in the plot of Beehive Island.

There was also information that Karp's old comrades, Sengoku and Lieutenant General Ah He, had gone to Beehive Island to save him. After that, Karp and Sengoku had joined forces to fight Blackbeard. In other scenes, Karp had also fought with the members of the black group. He showed a clear advantage, but he was stabbed by Shiliew while protecting Kirby. However, he punched Shiliew to the ground with a backhand punch, and finally fell to the ground. He did not show any obvious defeat.
