Chapter 1155 of the One Piece manga , titled "Rocks Pirates ," delves deep into the dark past of the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec , revealing crucial moments that precede the rise of the greatest names in piracy.
Loki's reunion with Rocks
Opening the chapter, we have a colorful spread with the Straw Hat Pirates walking on ladders between the rooftops of a city. The narrative continues with Rocks finding Loki in Elbaf , revealing that he hasn't seen his son in a long time. Seeing Loki wounded, Rocks urges him to seek help from his true father. Loki, however, confronts him and ends up being attacked with a powerful sword blow.
According to the narrator, Rocks' sword was so powerful that his attacks caused the surroundings to explode as if hit by a cannon.
Reverie's flashback: Rocks, Imu and Gunko
The chapter then takes us to a flashback to 8 years ago at the Reverie , when Rocks invaded Mary Geoise , kidnapping five kings and entering the Room of Flowers , where he saw Imu. Surprisingly, Gunko was also present, kneeling beside Imu with a look similar to a masked nun. Imu stared at Rocks in silence, while the pirate threatened him, declaring that one day he would return.
Rocks vs. Harald: Clash of Titans with Legendary-Level Haki
Shortly after, Rocks faces Harald in an epic battle. The two warriors activate their Conqueror's Haki so intensely that, even meters apart, no blow connects. 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 discovered that Rocks looted tributes from the Celestial Dragons , destroyed the Gate of Justice, and escaped with a ship full of gold.
Formation of the Rocks Pirates and plans for the world
With his crew already growing, Rocks played games of "Davy Back Fight" to recruit members. Among his allies were:
- Shiki, the Golden Lion , who ridicules the idea of following orders.
- Stussy , who suspects there's a plot 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 connected 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 while hiding 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 , while several ships sail towards Hachinosu. The final narration indicates that, four years after this moment , Rocks' plan with his elite crew is about to be executed.
