The world of One Piece continues to evolve and captivate fans with its ever-expanding narrative. Despite the frantic pace for shocking revelations each week, the storytelling remains chaotic, and the artwork, while unique, occasionally falls short of the series’ high standards.
Currently, we find ourselves immersed in a flashback within a flashback, focusing on the legendary Rocks pirates and, notably, the mysterious character Shakky, who many may have forgotten. In Chapter 1159, a whirlwind of events unfolds! Shakky has been kidnapped, and Don Marlo, a member of the Rocks crew, has met his demise. The primary culprit and traitor among the Rocks is Ochoku, who is strongly suggested to be the father of Caribou. Who would have guessed?
We also learn that Garling, Shanks’ father, committed the grave act of killing his wife, who was also the mother of his children, as he anticipated Shakky’s arrival for the infamous “native hunt” on God Valley. During this infamous event, the Marines were dispatched to surround the island and capture its inhabitants for enslavement by the government. Among the young Marines opposed to this horrendous operation was none other than Monkey D. Dragon.
So, how did the most significant event in One Piece history come to pass? Ginny, a close friend of Ivankov and Kuma’s future wife, managed to leak the Marine’s plans while aboard the prison ship heading to God Valley. With this intelligence in the hands of only a few, Morgans, the news mogul, disseminated the information to the entire world.
The pirates, including Roger and the Rocks crew, discovered that Shakky, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, was alive and would be the centerpiece of the event at God Valley, alongside two legendary Devil Fruits. Big Mom had her sights set on the Paw-Paw Fruit for one of her children and was already eyeing the Blue Dragon Fruit for Kaido. Meanwhile, Rayleigh, now concerned and rekindled in his feelings for Shakky, sets off with his captain to rescue her. As the Rocks crew makes their way to the island, Harald appears to apprehend Xebec, but before they clash, they share a drink and catch up.
A monumental revelation about one of the most notorious pirates in history surfaces! Xebec reveals that his true name is not Rocks D. Xebec, but rather Davy D. Xebec, a descendant of the infamous Davy Jones. Even more shocking and somewhat humorous is the fact that the legendary cursed pirate known as Davy Jones is actually named “Davyd.”
Interestingly, Xebec mentions that due to the government’s relentless pursuit, his family has had to hide, referring to their existence as being “in the world of darkness.” This increases speculation about the shared consciousness between Blackbeard, Xebec, and now Davy Jones, reminiscent of the third skull on Teach’s flag. Xebec shares that his homeland is God Valley, where Teach, at just two years old, spent time with his mother, who is also Xebec’s wife. Despite this, Harald remains focused on his mission to liberate Elbaf and engages in a desperate battle against Xebec.
Meanwhile, Shakky finds herself being grotesquely coveted as an object by the Celestial Dragons. It is revealed that Monkey D. Dragon was the one who saved Blackbeard. When Teach’s mother, who is Xebec’s wife, was on the brink of death, hidden away from the event, Dragon arrived just in time, hearing her desperate plea to save her son.
The chapter concludes with the vile elite celebrating the exposure of the Davy family. However, they remain blissfully unaware that Xebec is approaching to bring chaos to their festivities.
In this captivating chapter, the intricate web of relationships and historical events within the One Piece universe unravels further. The narrative delves deep into the backgrounds of pivotal characters, revealing past traumas and connections that shape their current motivations. Shakky, once a forgotten figure, emerges as a central character in this unfolding saga, her kidnapping signaling a shift in the balance of power among the pirates and the World Government.
The revelation of Xebec’s true identity adds layers to the mythology of One Piece, intertwining the fates of legendary pirates with the overarching narrative of the series. The connection to Davy Jones, a figure steeped in maritime folklore, introduces an intriguing element of superstition and legacy that resonates throughout the story.
Moreover, the depiction of Dragon as a compassionate figure, willing to risk everything to save a child, contrasts sharply with the ruthless nature of the world they inhabit. This duality highlights the complexity of motivations among characters, where alliances are often forged out of necessity rather than loyalty.
As the story moves forward, fans are left to ponder the implications of these revelations. How will Shakky’s fate impact the dynamics of the pirate world? What does Xebec’s legacy mean for the future of the series? The threads woven in Chapter 1159 hint at a larger tapestry of conflict that will undoubtedly shape the course of One Piece.
The ongoing exploration of themes such as sacrifice, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom resonates deeply within the narrative. Each character’s journey reflects broader questions about power and the cost of ambition in a world where the lines between good and evil are often blurred.
In the end, One Piece continues to captivate its audience with its rich storytelling and deep character development. As the saga unfolds, fans eagerly await the next chapter, ready to dive deeper into the intricate world crafted by Eiichiro Oda. The unfolding events promise to keep readers on the edge of their seats, as the legacy of the Rocks pirates and the enigmatic Shakky take center stage in this epic tale.
