One Piece Fans, Buckle Up — The God Valley Battle Royale Is Finally Here

by

The story is diving deeper into the past, revealing the full details of the terrifying God Valley Incident in the latest manga chapters. This event is incredibly complex, with shocking discoveries about Shanks and his twin brother, Shamrock, and the introduction of the Davy Clan. However, fans are especially excited by the intense battles, unpredictable conflicts, and the emergence of new abilities as characters clash amidst chaos and greed.

This battle isn’t just about victory or strength; it’s revealing deeper stories, especially about figures like Rocks and Gol D. Roger. The events at God Valley seem connected to the current conflict on Elbaph, and this fight will likely be a huge turning point, shedding light on the motivations and true natures of all the pirates involved.

Rocks’ Real Fight Hasn’t Even Taken Shape Yet

The latest chapter of the *One Piece* manga (Chapter 1162) is setting up an unexpected battle that’s both thrilling and full of mystery. Fans are witnessing a clash between Rocks D. Xebec, Edward Newgate, and Kaido against Jaygarcia Saturn, who is controlled by Imu – a fight that wasn’t hinted at in any previous storylines. While it’s exciting to see this new conflict arise from the aftermath of the God Valley Incident, it’s not the battle that will ultimately lead to Rocks’ defeat.

Many fans already know that Rocks died during the battle in God Valley, defeated by the combined forces of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp. There’s a lot of anticipation to finally see this climactic fight in the manga. While it’s appealing to portray Rocks as a sympathetic character, his defeat is inevitable, so it makes sense for that final battle to be spectacular and exciting for readers.

Right now, the main conflict in *One Piece* isn’t about Roger and Garp—they’re taking a backseat in Chapter 1162. The story is really focused on Rocks and his crew. Currently, Rocks is facing off against Saturn, who seems to be controlled by Imu, and it’s unclear how that battle will go. However, it’s essential that Rocks wins to continue the story.

There are two main ways the current storyline could fit with what fans expect to happen in *One Piece*. The first is that Rocks’ strongest fighters could force Imu and Saturn to retreat or even defeat them, setting up Rocks for a direct confrontation with Garp and Roger. This would mean Rocks would be involved in two major battles in a row.

Another likely scenario is that Roger and Garp might interrupt the fight between Imu and the others, not to help Imu, but to attack Rocks while he’s distracted. This would be a classic, underhanded pirate move for Roger, and Garp might go along with it. Though Garp usually prefers honorable fights as a Marine hero, he could set aside his principles if it meant finally defeating Rocks, especially if Imu is also in danger. Basically, if both protecting Imu and eliminating Rocks are on the line, Garp might be willing to do whatever it takes, even if he doesn’t like the methods.

The current conflict in Chapter 1162 is more intriguing than flashy, as it’s not the showdown fans anticipated. Imu won’t be Rocks’ ultimate foe; that title belongs to Roger and Garp. It’s unclear how the battle will shift from Imu and Saturn to Roger and Garp, but this transition could be an even bigger surprise than the appearance of Rocks’ powerful trio in this chapter. This is expected, as fans know certain events are inevitable—it’s just a matter of *when* and *how* they happen. The way this unfolds will likely reveal a lot about Roger and Garp’s true strength and fighting styles.

The God Valley Incident is All About Antiheroes Fighting For Survival

In the past, *One Piece* clearly distinguished between heroes and villains. Story arcs like Alabasta and Water 7 presented a strong contrast between good and evil, and fans didn’t typically consider Luffy’s crew to be anything less than heroic. Villains were rarely portrayed as sympathetic or honorable, with only a few exceptions like Mr. 2 and Nico Robin. However, *One Piece* has gradually blurred the lines between right and wrong, and the God Valley Incident is the most significant example of this shift so far.

Recent manga chapters, like Chapter 1162, continue to show that the Roger Pirates and Rocks Pirates are complex characters—antiheroes, really—who are surprisingly fun to root for. While readers generally want to see them succeed more than the God Knights or Marines, it’s important to remember they aren’t exactly noble figures.

The latest chapters of *One Piece* are highlighting a clear distinction between different pirate crews, mainly because Roger and Rocks truly embodied the pirate lifestyle. Luffy, while called a pirate, acts more like an independent hero who fights for what he believes in. *One Piece* often uses the term ‘pirate’ broadly to fit the series’ style, but recent events are showing a more defined difference between pirates in name only and true pirates.

The Rocks and Roger Pirates embody the traditional image of pirates – they’re driven by a desire for wealth, valuable objects like Devil Fruits, and whatever else they can take. Roger, in particular, exemplifies this, as he and his crew will even fight to rescue someone they’re attracted to, like Shakky, and aren’t hesitant to plunder large amounts of treasure.

The Rocks Pirates arrived with two goals: to save the family of their captain, Rocks D. Xebec, and to grab powerful Devil Fruits during the disrupted Native Hunting Competition. While Charlotte Linlin and Kaido were only interested in the Devil Fruits, Rocks was focused on battling anyone who stood in the way of rescuing his wife, Eris, and son, Marshall D. Teech.

Rocks is portrayed as a caring family man willing to do anything for those he loves, but his crew is undeniably destructive and motivated by greed, constantly provoking conflict. This dynamic has made recent fight scenes particularly captivating, shifting the focus from a clear battle of good versus evil to a more complex conflict between opposing groups – essentially, a clash between rivals rather than a fight for noble ideals.

The God Valley Battle Royale May Hold the Secret to Defeating Imu’s Weaknesses

It’s confirmed that Rocks D. Xebec will battle Roger and Garp in his final fight at the God Valley Incident, and this current conflict can also reveal important details about the world of *One Piece*. Before facing Roger and Garp, Rocks will likely fight Imu and Saturn in an epic battle, supported by Kaido and Edward Newgate.

Saturn and Imu won’t likely die in this battle, but they could still be forced to retreat or lose without being killed. The point isn’t to make Rocks look good by having him win, but to create an opportunity for Luffy in the current storyline.

This is the second time fans of *One Piece* have witnessed the enigmatic Imu directly intervene in a conflict with pirates by taking control of someone else. Imu is quickly expanding their influence by using their devil fruit powers to create more followers. So far in *One Piece*, Imu hasn’t lost a fight, leaving fans wondering how the Straw Hat Pirates will fare against them in the current battle on Elbaph. However, if anyone has a chance of defeating Imu and shedding light on the World Government’s leader, it’s the powerful trio of Rocks.

The story doesn’t allow Rocks to kill Imu, but he could provide information or resources that will help Luffy win his eventual battle. This avoids a rushed or unbelievable ending. It’s less about Imu’s death and more about understanding how to overcome such a formidable opponent – which is exciting for both Rocks and Luffy.
