One Piece Chapter 1156 Release Date, Time & What to Expect

by

In the upcoming Chapter 1156 of “One Piece”, we’re likely to explore more about the elusive Rocks D. Xebec and his relationship with Harald’s eventual death. Previously, this flashback was meant to shed light on Loki’s past, but it seems it will also reveal what transpired on the day Harald met his end. This twist implies that Rocks could have played a role in Harald’s demise. For now, the series is concentrating heavily on unraveling the secrets surrounding Rocks. The recent disclosure that Rocks is Blackbeard’s father was quite a shocker, but the new developments underscore just how powerful and impactful he really was.

In a league of his own, Rocks’ fleet was unequaled, and it’s fascinating to consider how he assembled his renowned pirate crew through the ancient Davy Back Fight tournaments. This suggests that he reigned supreme among pirates during his time, perhaps even in history. With exploits like sneaking into the hallowed Flower Room and confronting Imu face-to-face, and single-handedly vanquishing an admiral, Rocks was truly one of a kind. That’s why his potential role in the current narrative is so captivating. Readers might uncover more about him in the forthcoming chapter of One Piece. However, the wait will be prolonged, as One Piece will take a brief hiatus next week.

What To Expect From One Piece Chapter 1156?

In Chapter 1156 of “One Piece,” we can anticipate further exploration of Rocks’ reign of terror in the New World. Since his demise happens before Harald’s, readers might get a fresh viewpoint on that event from the God Valley incident, this time focusing on Rocks himself. If the flashback continues with Rocks’ tale, it could also delve into the origins of his son. However, what keeps fans on the edge of their seats is how Rocks’ narrative will impact current events in Elbaf. While providing captivating insights about Rocks, the primary focus of the latest chapter revolves around Rocks attempting to recruit Harald for his crew. Given Harald’s character, it’s evident he would never join forces with Rocks, which brings Loki, the main figure in this flashback, into sharp focus.

I recently noticed an intriguing development: the latest installment seems to suggest that Loki discovered his purpose following Rocks’ resolve to rule the world, a goal which he subsequently adopted as his own. It’s plausible that this brief account of Rocks’ tale was intended to ignite Loki’s ambition to control the world, mirroring how Shanks inspired Luffy to pursue piracy. Yet, it’s important to remember that Rocks’ actions could potentially impact Harald too, and possibly triggered the King of Giants’ eventual alliance with the World Government.

How Rocks’ Actions Serve as the Final Key for Harald To Form an Alliance With the World Government

Prior to this flashback sequence, the Elbaf Arc had hinted at a connection between King Harald and the World Government. One of the strongest indications was Saint Sommers inquiring about Shamrock visiting Harald’s grave, which implied some sort of tie. However, the incident at Reverie, where King Harald was present, seemed poised to end in his demise, an outcome that would have ruled out any alliance formation. It appears that Rocks’ actions eventually led to Harald forging a relationship with the World Government.

In the face of Rocks’ chaos disrupting the World Government, it would have been advantageous for them to ally with the King of Giants and his nation. This was a goal shared by Rocks himself. To bring unity to the world, Harald found his best opportunity in aligning with the World Government. Regrettably, this alliance also led to his unwavering loyalty to Imu, similar to Dorry and Broggy, eventually leading to his downfall. Loki was held responsible for this outcome. As the flashback continues, it appears we are nearing its end, but there may still be some intriguing secrets about One Piece that fans have eagerly awaited to uncover.
