One Piece Hints at How Roger and Garp Defeated the Rocks Pirates

In Chapter 1155, we learn that Rocks acquired his crew members through the Davy Back Fight, a competition between pirate crews where victorious teams could seize members from the defeated side. This suggests that Rocks may have challenged and overpowered the future Whitebeard, enhancing his reputation as one of the most formidable pirates ever known. His exploits, such as infiltrating the Holy Land’s secret chamber, slaying an admiral, and escaping without a scratch, only serve to bolster his legend as an unrivaled powerhouse. It seems almost unfathomable that he could be defeated, even by the combined might of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp. However, the newest chapter offers a significant clue about how Rocks may have ultimately met his match.
