Chapter 1154 of the One Piece manga , titled "Unable to Die," brings shocking historical revelations about Elbaf, the origins of Galley-La, and the past of Rocks D. Xebec. It also ties up loose ends from the Punk Hazard storyline and provides clues about the Ancient Weapons. Get ready, because this chapter is undoubtedly a game-changer!
The chaos after Big Mom's fall
After Big Mom's fall, Elbaf faced a dark period, plagued by disasters such as fires, storms, and famine. When giants threatened to attack Ida and Hajrudin, King Harald returned with foreign aid. However, his companion Estrida died before she saw him again , while Ida opened a bar in the underworld .
Furthermore, we discover that Estrida abused Loki , which explains part of the giant prince's current behavior.
The Karela Guild and the Mystery of the Frozen Giants
Surprisingly, the chapter reveals that Elbaf's ancient shipbuilding guild was called the Great Hammer Warband , pronounced " Karela "—almost identical to Galley-La , from Water Seven. Coincidence? Hardly.
They left a letter stating that the entire guild had been captured , something Jarul considered impossible, given that there were around 100 giants—including ancestors. An even more bizarre rumor claims that they were all frozen in blocks of ice , which directly ties in with the frozen giants on Punk Hazard . Too much of a coincidence to ignore, right?
Harald, Reverie and the encounter with Rocks D. Xebec
Jumping back 56 years, we see Harald going to Reverie seeking help, but being ignored by the World Government. Around this time, he heard from Jarul about the capture of the Karela guild. This detail reinforces the suspicion that the giants were key players in the development of naval technology—and perhaps even the Ancient Weapons.
The Shocking Link Between Rocks and Teach
The chapter's climax reveals what many fans suspected: Rocks D. Xebec is the father of Marshall D. Teach, aka Blackbeard ! The physical resemblance is striking—bicolor hair, imposing posture—and this explains much of Teach's obscure heritage.
Soon after meeting Harald, Rocks killed a Navy admiral , becoming a wanted criminal. And now, his direct connection to the D.s resurfaces in full force!
One Piece 1154 not only delves deeper into Elbaf's past, but also connects several old arcs and sparks new theories about ancient weapons, Punk Hazard, and the D clan.
