One Piece Shares First Look at Most Mysterious Pirate Crew’s New Members

by

In the eagerly awaited Elbaf Arc of “One Piece,” we’re now delving into Harald’s past, momentarily diverging from the battle against the Holy Knights. This segment will eventually reveal the heartbreaking truth behind Harald’s death 14 years ago, but first, we need to understand his background and the reasons for his deep-rooted adoration by his people. Alongside Harald, we’re also discovering Loki’s sorrowful childhood, marked by being branded as “Cursed” by his own mother. By doing so, she essentially doomed him, shifting blame for Elbaf’s misfortunes onto him after abandoning him. Furthermore, the series has at last disclosed the true identity of Rocks D. Xebec and his link to Blackbeard, one of the series’ key antagonists.

A long time ago, the Rocks Pirates were the world’s most powerful and infamous pirate gang. This crew, led by Rocks D. Xebec, produced some of the New World’s most influential figures such as Kaido, Big Mom, and Whitebeard. These individuals went on to lead their own crews and ascend to the rank of Yonkos. However, the initial depiction of the crew in the series only scratched the surface, as it had many more members. Despite not always seeing eye-to-eye, they were an unstoppable force, even striking fear into high-ranking Marines. The latest Chapter 1156 delves deeper into their exploits and introduces additional crew members.

One Piece Chapter 1156 Debuts Two New Members of the Rocks Pirates

In Chapter 957 of One Piece, I learned about the Rocks Pirates for the first time when Admiral Sengoku shared some intriguing details about this legendary crew and their fate. He revealed that several key members of the Rocks Pirates left a lasting impression on the world. The charismatic Xebec managed to assemble most of these pirates by participating in an age-old pirate game called the Davy Back Fight. At first, they were just a loose alliance, but over time, they transformed into a formidable pirate crew, complete with their very own flag.

As he discussed these individuals, he casually mentioned The Silver Axe, a character who has now been formally presented. Prior to gaining his current fame, he was infamously known as Kyo the Wicked and was often pitted against Shiki, suggesting that Kyo holds a similar status to one of history’s most notorious pirates. Furthermore, the recent instalment has introduced Barbell, a Fish-Man from the Catfish tribe, but there is still much we don’t know about him.

One Piece additionally provides a glimpse into how Gloriossa, Kaido, John, and Big Mom appeared in that era. Moreover, it showcases Streusen, Big Mom’s long-time chef, who has been with her since her childhood. Streusen was likely a member of the Rocks Pirates due to his desire to stay with Big Mom. As the narrative delves deeper into Xebec and his pirate group, we move closer to uncovering the events leading up to the God Valley disbandment and the truth behind their separation.
