In One Piece chapter 1162, Oda officially revealed to the fans the true battles of God Valley, and even some big reveals about what truly went down on this island. Most fans assumed that the God Valley Incident referred to the battle fought by Garp and Roger against the Rocks Pirates, which eventually resulted in the death of Rocks D. Xebec. Now, it's officially revealed that the real battle that unfolded in God Valley saw Rocks fight against Imu and his demon army.

One Piece chapter 1162 was quite easily one of the very best in the entire story, and fans finally got to see the real events surrounding God Valley. The propaganda of the Marines stated that Garp was the one who ended up becoming the Hero on this island by protecting the Celestial Dragons and their slaves. Sengoku mentioned that Garp joined forces with Roger to do so. However, the truth of it all is quite different.

In reality, Rocks succeeded in saving his family, both Eris and Teach. He then engaged Garling Figarland in combat and defeated him rather easily. It is only after this that the true enemy of God Valley was revealed to the fans, and it turned out to be none other than Imu themself. Just as Imu took over Gunko in Elbaf, in God Valley, Imu officially took over Saint Saturn and stood in the path of the Rocks as the strongest in the world.

It is quite clear that this is going to be a losing battle for Rocks. Even though he's going to put up quite a performance, Rocks cannot beat Imu because fans already know that Rocks is dead and Imu isn't. Unfortunately, Rocks is most definitely going to fall here and that's what makes this part of the story so exciting.

What might that be? Well, if I had to put it simply, I'd say...the world! — Rocks on Imu

Rocks D. Xebec Will Fall In God Valley

The Most Legendary Pirate Of One Piece Will Die Soon

The last few chapters of One Piece have been unbelievably exciting. Rocks D. Xebec's legend has been explored by Oda in great detail, just as all the fans wanted for years. But now, it is time for the fans to bid farewell to Rocks D. Xebec. As is known already, Rocks ended up dying on the island of God Valley, which also happens to be his home. Rocks most likely loses to Imu and eventually succumbs to his injuries. Perhaps, it is Roger and Garp that finish him off after he fights Imu, or maybe they were just credited with the victory by the Government to cover up what truly happened in God Valley. Regardless, Rocks truly falls here, but his will lives on through his son Blackbeard, and Loki.
