One Piece: Who Is Davy Jones & Why Is He Crucial in the Final Saga?

by

In the Final Saga of One Piece, we’re delving into the most profound secrets that the series has held since its inception. This epic journey kicked off during the Egghead Incident Arc, and now, the manga is unfolding the much-anticipated Elbaf Arc. While the Egghead Incident was a delightful twist for fans due to its unexpectedness, the Elbaf Arc promises something entirely different. The series hinted at Elbaf way back during the Little Garden Arc of the Alabasta Saga, and now, our heroes have finally arrived in the legendary Land of Giants. As Luffy and Usopp had envisioned, the island is just as awe-inspiring as they imagined it to be.

Initially, they were warmly received by the Giants and savored a feast thrown in their honor upon arrival. But this brief period of joy was swiftly shattered as the Holy Knights schemed to weaken the mightiest race on Earth. The Holy Knights never intended for a fair fight; instead, they targeted the young ones, aiming to make the Giants submit to the World Government. Before Luffy and Loki could join the battle, the narrative took an unexpected turn, revealing Harald’s past – the legendary king of Elbaf. The flashback left everyone stunned as it introduced Rocks D. Xebec, a character who was unexpectedly linked with Davy Jones.

Rocks D. Xebec Was a Worshipper of Davy Jones, Linking Him Inextricably to One Piece Lore

Pirate legend Rocks D. Xebec is being further explored in the storyline of ‘One Piece’, and in Chapter 1155, we learn that he was a devotee of Davy Jones, an ancient mariner whose exact era remains uncertain. Davy Jones is said to have been condemned by a demon to dwell at the bottom of the sea, with no records of his demise ever found. As per legend, anything submerged in the ocean belongs to him. Over time, he has taken on a mythical or divine status, leading many pirates to worship him. Despite his past being lost in the annals of history, Davy Jones’ name continues to echo and inspire pirate lore even today.

The classic pirate game known as Davy Back Fight, initially introduced in the Long Ring Long Land Arc, was inspired by Jones. This act of seizing loot from another pirate crew is referred to as ‘Davy Back’. Following Xebec’s acquisition of a substantial bounty for killing an Admiral during the Reverie, he assembled a team through this game, who eventually joined his crew. Each member of the Rocks Pirates built their reputation in the New World. The show has conspicuously omitted the name of Davy Jones at a critical moment, suggesting that his backstory will be unveiled soon.
