More than six years have passed since One Piece first mentioned the God Valley incident in chapter 957, where Rocks D. Xebec met a tragic fate due to the unexpected alliance between Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp. Since then, Rocks has been seen as a dangerous pirate responsible for many disasters. However, the ongoing Elbaf arc has finally revealed that Rocks was actually… a victim.
Xebec was believed to be a notorious pirate and a thorn in the World Government’s side because he not only killed an admiral but was also a descendant of Davy Jones, belonging to the mysterious Davy family that has survived by deeply rooting itself in the criminal underworld. Xebec hid his real name from the world, but that did not stop him from becoming a target.
This is why the Celestial Dragons decided to hold the Native Hunt at God Valley, the place where Rocks was hiding his wife and his two-year-old son, Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard).
Imu Appears and Possesses Jaygarcia Saturn
As the villains predicted, Rocks fell into a trap, knowing he could not survive leaving the island. The Celestial Dragons usually choose an island unconnected to the government to destroy every three years, but this time, Saint Figarland Garling specifically chose God Valley after discovering it was Xebec’s hometown and where he was hiding his family.
Xebec’s family was captured along with other natives, and soon after, a chaotic battle erupted between pirates and the Navy. However, the situation worsened dramatically when Imu appeared and took over the body of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.
Imu mistook Xebec for Davy Jones but still decided to kill him and all members of the Davy family. Unfortunately, Imu chose the cruelest method to eliminate the remaining members of this mysterious clan.
Using the devil fruit power Domi Reversi, Imu turned Xebec into a puppet, hoping the pirate would end his own family’s lives. Chapter 1163 ends on this intense note, giving readers a glimpse of Xebec’s approaching tragic fate. The mastermind behind Xebec’s heartbreaking death is none other than the series’ ultimate villain: Imu.
Although Teach (Blackbeard) survived and even became one of the Four Emperors, his mother likely died on that fateful day along with his father, in a tragedy orchestrated by the World Government.
