The One Piece manga continues to dive into Harald’s past in the Elbaf arc, bringing a surprising twist: secrets about Rocks D. Xebec have finally been revealed.
Rocks D. Xebec is a legendary pirate with unmatched power, once defeated by the alliance of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp. Before the Elbaf arc, he was portrayed as a ruthless destroyer, but the truth is quite different. He had a clear goal: to overthrow the Holy Land of Marijoa, which is why the World Government views him as a villain.
We’ve seen the World Government destroy countless lives. The Navy officers, who should uphold justice, have instead become accomplices to these brutal acts. Because of this, Sengoku’s story in chapter 957 might be fabricated or at least heavily concealed.
Since Rocks was introduced, fans quickly speculated he was Blackbeard’s father. The latest chapter 1159 confirms this and reveals Blackbeard’s bloodline, one of the most shocking details in the entire story.
Blackbeard Belongs to the Legendary Davy Clan
Chapter 1107 hinted that Blackbeard’s bloodline is special, and now the truth is clear: he belongs to the Davy clan. Members of this clan descend from the pirate Davy Jones, a long-standing legend. Chapter 1155 also shows Rocks calling himself a follower of Davy Jones, strengthening this connection.
The World Government has always tried to hide the existence of this clan, but they continue to thrive within the criminal underworld. In chapter 1159, Rocks reveals his real name is Davy D. Xebec. He explains that the God Valley island was chosen for the Indigenous Hunt not by chance, but as part of the World Government’s plan to lure Rocks, who would never stand idly by knowing his homeland was about to be destroyed.
Rocks Fought to Protect His Family
Rocks was determined to protect God Valley because he had sent his wife and son there to keep them safe. At the end of the chapter, a shocking image appears: a two-year-old Blackbeard chained in a cage at God Valley after the Indigenous Hunt begins. His mother, whose face is unseen, tries to comfort and encourage him to survive. This confirms Blackbeard’s direct connection to God Valley and that he is indeed Rocks’ son.
