Chapter 1155 of the One Piece manga , titled “Rocks Pirates” , delves deep into the dark past of the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec , revealing pivotal moments that precede the rise of the biggest names in piracy.
Loki's reunion with Rocks
Opening the chapter, we have a colorful spread of the Straw Hats walking on ladders between city rooftops. The narrative continues with Rocks encountering Loki on Elbaf , revealing that he hasn't seen his son in a long time. Seeing Loki injured, Rocks pressures him to seek help from his real father. Loki, however, confronts him and ends up being attacked with a powerful sword blow.
According to the narrator, Rocks' sword was so intense that his thrusts caused the surroundings to explode as if they were hit by a cannon.
Reverie's flashback: Rocks, Imu and Gunko
The chapter then flashes back to eight years ago on the Reverie , when Rocks invaded Mary Geoise , kidnapping five kings, and entering the Flower Room , where he saw Imu. Surprisingly, Gunko was also present, kneeling beside Imu, looking like a masked nun. Imu stared at Rocks in silence as the pirate threatened him, declaring that one day he would return.
Rocks vs. Harald: Clash of the Titans with Legendary-Level Haki
Shortly thereafter, Rocks faces Harald in an epic battle. The two warriors activate their Conqueror's Haki so intensely that, even meters apart, no blows connect. After the fight, both escape, and Rocks suggests a future alliance. However, Harald refuses, saying he would never join forces with a villain, which shocked even Rocks.
Furthermore, we learn that Rocks plundered tributes from the Tenryuubito , destroyed the Gate of Justice, and escaped with a ship full of gold.
Formation of Pirates Rocks and plans for the world
As his crew grew, Rocks played games of "Davy Back Fight" to recruit members. His allies included:
- Shiki, the Golden Lion , who ridicules the idea of following orders.
- Stussy , who suspects a plan behind Rocks' actions.
- Marlon , a gangster from the West Blue.
- Newgate , the future Whitebeard.
- Wang Zhi , the future ruler of Pirate Island.
- Ganzui , a mysterious smuggler linked to Hachinosu Island.
Furthermore, they discuss Hachinosu , also known as “Exile Island,” a place for criminals that, in recent years, has become a base for clandestine organizations.
Loki's awakening and the Rocks flag for the first time
Back in the present of the flashback (48 years ago), we see Rocks and Harald discussing world domination together. Loki overhears everything from the shadows and cries with emotion upon seeing his father return. Rocks, in a grandiose tone, says:
“Let’s conquer the world!!!”
At the end of the chapter, the Rocks Pirates' flag is raised for the first time , as several ships head towards Hachinosu. The final narration indicates that, four years after this moment , Rocks' plan with his elite is about to be executed.
