The final saga of One Piece is taking fans on a journey to uncover the core mysteries of the series. This saga began with the intriguing Egghead Event arc, which caught many by surprise. However, the spotlight has now shifted to the highly anticipated Elbaf arc. The island of the Giants was first hinted at over two decades ago during the Little Garden arc of the Alabasta saga, and now, the Straw Hat crew has finally set foot on this legendary land.
Elbaf lives up to the grand expectations of Luffy and Usopp. They are warmly welcomed by the Giants and even enjoy a grand feast celebrating their arrival. But this brief moment of joy is shattered by the sudden appearance of the Holy Knights.
These foes plan to subdue the world’s strongest race through unfair means. Instead of fighting honorably, they target children and aim to force the Giants into submission to the World Government. As Luffy and Loki prepare to join the battle, the story unexpectedly reveals the past of Harald, Elbaf’s greatest king. This flashback shocks everyone by introducing Rocks D. Xebec, who surprisingly has a deep connection to Davy Jones.
Rocks D. Xebec’s Worship of Davy Jones Links Him to One Piece Legend
Rocks D. Xebec is one of the most legendary pirates in One Piece history, and now his past is finally being explored in depth. In chapter 1155 of the manga, narration reveals that he was a follower of Davy Jones.
Davy Jones is a legendary pirate who existed long ago, though the exact era remains unclear. Legend says he was cursed by a demon to live forever beneath the sea, with no record of his death. According to myth, anything that sinks into the ocean belongs to him.
Over time, Davy Jones became a mythic figure or even a god among pirates, which is why many began to worship him. Although the specific history of this pirate has been lost to the chronicles, his name lives on, inspiring pirates to this day.
Even the traditional pirate game, Davy Back Fight, which first appeared in the Long Ring Long Land arc, draws inspiration from Jones. The act of stealing items or crew members from another pirate crew is called the “Davy Back.”
After Xebec earned a massive bounty for killing an admiral at the Reverie Conference, he gathered allies through this game, who later became members of his infamous crew. Each member of the Rocks Pirates made a name for themselves in the New World. The sudden mention of Davy Jones at such a critical moment in the final saga suggests that his story will soon be unveiled, potentially playing a key role in solving One Piece’s remaining mysteries.
