Just as fans hoped, the official One Piece X account (@eiichiro_staff) unveiled the full cover for Volume 114 on February 22, 2026. This masterpiece gathers the most notorious names in pirate history, but it also comes with a mysterious absence.
1. The Rocks Pirates Take Center Stage
Oda’s choice to spotlight the Rocks Pirates on this cover couldn’t be more fitting. Volume 114 covers chapters 1156 to 1166, taking readers on a wild journey from the Rocks crew gathering on Hachinosu Island (chapter 1156) to the climax of the God Valley incident (chapters 1165-1166).
Fans witness the fall of an era: Rocks D. Xebec defeated by the Roger-Garp alliance, only to be fatally struck in the shadows by Figarland Garling. Volume 114 serves as a condensed chronicle of the rise and fall of the world’s most dangerous pirate crew.
2. The Puzzling Absence of Buckingham Stussy
On the cover, Rocks D. Xebec stands at the center, radiating overwhelming presence. Surrounding him are legendary figures: Whitebeard, Kaido, Shiki, Big Mom, Ochoku, Silver Axe, Captain John, Ganzui, and Don Marlon. Even Streusen and young Gloriosa make appearances.
However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed a major omission: Buckingham Stussy is completely missing from the frame. Remember, Stussy is one of the six core members who followed Rocks before the crew even had an official flag (alongside Whitebeard, Shiki, Don Marlon, Ochoku, and Ganzui).
Her absence, while lesser-known characters appear, raises big questions. Is this an intentional move by Oda, or is Stussy hiding a secret that’s yet to be revealed?
3. Release Date and High Hopes for the SBS Section
According to the official caption, One Piece Volume 114 will hit shelves in Japan on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. With 11 chapters revealing the full truth about God Valley, this volume is a must-have for any dedicated fan.
What excites fans most is the SBS Q&A corner. Given the wealth of information about Roger, Garp, and the Rocks Pirates’ past, fans hope Oda will answer long-standing mysteries not yet disclosed in the magazine. This could include the true identities of some Rocks members or hidden details about the Figarland family.
