It is highly likely thatOne Piecechapter 1156 will pick up right where the last chapter left off. As fans know,Rocks’s master plan has already been revealed in the story. He aims to take control of the Pirate Island, which is currently overrun with pirates and exiles. The Pirate Island, also known as the Island of Exiles, was the place where most of the criminals used to be sent, that is, until a huge reserve of gold was found underneath. Once the Underworld got involved, the exiles became rich and established supremacy over the island. Now, even the Government is struggling to take control of the Pirate Island.

Rocks intends to strike a deal with the Government and take money from them in exchange for clearing out the Pirate Island for them. However, he actually plans to take their money and keep the island for himself. That’s exactly what fans will see inOne Piece1156.
Rocks D. Xebec and the Rocks Pirates will most likely attack the Pirate Islandand defeat the hordes of pirates there, and eventually, betray the Governments, which will make them even more infamous. The true Pirate Island will most likely be established inOne Piecechapter 1156.

The God Valley Incident Will Be Set Up In One Piece Chapter 1156
Most importantly, One Piece chapter 1156 could finallyset up the God Valley Incident. It is expected of the chapter to skip a few years in time, just as each flashback chapter that preceded it has done. As such, One Piece 1156 will likely go from 44 years ago to around 39 or 38 years ago.
