Throughout One Piece, the many flashbacks of the series have often been the biggest highlights of the story arcs where they are shown. Not only are they incredibly personal and hold massive emotional weight, but they also give a glimpse at the world and the lore of the series in an older era, greatly expanding what fans have known about it and offering many new details about its history.

Throughout the series, Oda has cemented that there have been many incredibly important events across history that have shaped the world into what it is today. Because of him leaving any details about them purposefully vague, fans have been clamoring for the flashbacks that explain everything. So, in this article, let's go over the four One Piece flashbacks that fans have been wanting to see for years.

One Piece's Most Hyped Event Will Be Revealed In The Next Chapter

The God Valley Incident is one of the most important events in the history of the series, and it is set to finally be shown in Chapter 1159!

The First World Flashback Promises To Show The Origins Of Nika

The Oldest Time In History

One Piece Iron Giant 3000 Years Ago First World (1)

First Mention	One Piece, Chapter 1138, "Harley"
Story Arc	Elbaf

The oldest time in the One Piece world.

Who can say if he was the world's savior, or the great destroyer who brought it crashing down...

Many have already called the Elbaf arc the best in the entire franchise, and the reasons backing up this claim are numerous. However, one of the biggest is the massive lore reveals made here, the most surprising of which was that of the First World, which was the time even before Joyboy. Very little is known about this age, but it is heavily speculated that the First World was where the myth of the Sun God Nika originated, where ancient technologies and races even older than the Void Century were abundant all over the world. Little can be said about it currently, but this flashback promises the origins of Nika and the world itself.

The God Valley Incident Was History's Most Important After Joyboy's Time

The Clash of Legends

god-valley-battles — God Valley from One Piece

First Mention	One Piece, Chapter 957, "Ultimate"
Story Arc	Wano

The greatest event in modern memory.

In order to protect the Celestial Dragons and their slaves at God Valley, Garp joined forces with Roger there at the island... And they broke apart the Rocks Pirates!

Few events in One Piece are as revered and legendary as the God Valley Incident. This incident saw the most powerful and important figures of the previous generation meet on the titular island of God Valley and battle it out in the most incredible event that has unfortunately been lost to history. The current flashback during the Elbaf arc seems to be leading up to this event, which saw the Rocks Pirates, Roger Pirates, Gods' Knights, and Marines go against one another in an all-out brawl. This promises to be a heartbreaking flashback, as it is the one that saw the death of the strongest of the old era who fans have come to love; the recently introduced Rocks D. Xebec.

All the countries that the Straw Hats have visited over the years will be allies, but there are three that stand as the most important of them all!

The Second World Will Delve Into Who The Legendary Joyboy Was

**A Look At One Piece's Most Legendary Figure**

First Mention	One Piece, Chapter 1138, "Harley"
Story Arc	Elbaf

A long-awaited look at Joyboy and his origin story.

His name was Joyboy. And he was the very first man on this sea to be called a pirate!

Throughout the entire One Piece series, there is perhaps no character quite as influential or important to the world as the mythical Joyboy. Though he was first mentioned way back in the Fishman Island arc, fans have still not seen him, which is quite telling of Oda having big plans for him once the Second World flashback is finally shown. Everything about the world's current situation is seen to have begun here, and fans have been wanting to see the truth behind this mythical figure, everything about his ancient era, and the truth of the Ancient Kingdom for ages.

The Void Century Flashback Will Finally Show How Joyboy Lost

The Most Important Event In History

Joyboy-Imu-Connection-1 — Imu and Joyboy in One Piece

First Mention	One Piece, Chapter 218, "Why the Log Pose is Dome-Shaped"
Story Arc	Alabasta

The most important event in history.

I hear the drums of liberation!

Although this is very likely going to be shown in the same flashback as the Second World altogether, the Void Century's final conflict is, by far, going to be the most important event in the series. Here, it will finally be revealed how Joyboy lost despite his immense power, how the Ancient Kingdom was destroyed despite its advanced technology, how the World Government was formed, and how Imu rose to become the ruler of the world. Everything about the ancient world that still exists to this day came as a result of what went down after the Void Century concluded with this final conflict, so it remains the most-awaited flashback in One Piece.
