One Piecechapter 1155 dropped earlier today, and it goes without saying that this chapter was, undoubtedly, one of the greatest additions to not just the Elbaf arc of the story, but also the entirety ofOne Piece.
This chapter focusedsolely on the Rocks Pirates, specifically their captain, Rocks D. Xebec. For the longest time, fans have wanted Oda to show them a glimpse of the legendary Rocks who shook the world 38 years ago. Now, Oda has done just that and given the fans a proper look at this absolute monster, and what’s crazy is that there is more to come from him in the upcoming chapters of the story.

Quite easily, the highlight ofOne Piecechapter 1155 was Oda going over Rocks D. Xebec’s on Marijoa during a Reverie around 56 years ago. This was first mentioned in the previous chapter, but this time around, fans actually got to see it.One Piecechapter 1155 went on to showRocks actually making it all the wayto the Room of Flowers, where Imu was. It was revealed that Rocks actually kidnapped 5 Kings and tried to threaten Imu with their lives.

In the main timeline,where Rocks arrived on the Pirate Island with his crew, fans saw him meet Harakd and his offer to him was simple, and that is, to join his crew.
