One Pieceis currently in the Elbaf arc, and finally, Oda is exploring what can be considered to be the most intense part of the story, where Loki’s flashback is being fleshed out. Through this flashback, Oda is revealing all kinds of lore about the world ofOne Piece, the war fought long ago, and the Giant race.
At the same time, Oda is using this flashback to give the fans a look at the legends who sailed the world ofOne Piecelong ago, and the most recent one is quite possiblya monster even above the average Yonko level.
Rocks D. Xebec Is Beyond Yonko Level In One Piece
Rocks D. Xebec is one of the most powerful pirates in the world ofOne Piece,and this doesn’t come as a surprise to any fan. He was first mentioned by Garp during the Reverie in the same chapter where the King of the World was teased via the Empty Throne to the fans. As fans know, Rocks wanted to be the King of the World.
That man killed a Navy HQ Admiral and then vanished into thin air. — Narrator about Rocks D. Xebec
Later on, in One Piece chapter 957,Rocks D. Xebec was officially revealed to the fans, and it was said that he was Roger’s greatest adversary and a man so strong that even Roger couldn’t beat him on his own. As such, a team-up between Roger and Garp was absolutely needed to see an end to this man on the day of the God Valley Incident.
Clearly, Rocks’s strength was always built up to be absolutely incredible. In One Piece chapter 1154, it was revealed that Rocks visited the Reverie around 56 years ago and killed a Navy Admiral there. He then fled the scene, and this earned him a bounty in the billions. Clearly, Rocks was already Yonko level at this point, but he wasn’t even in his peak here.
Rocks Was Pirate King Level
Stronger Than Most Yonko
Rocks D. Xebec killing an Admiraland escaping with rather ease easily implies that he was already far stronger than them. It also shows that Rocks was already Yonko level. But, this was before the Age of Rocks began. In other words, the Rocks Pirates hadn’t been formed and Rocks himself clearly wasn’t at his strongest either. Rocks D. Xebec got only stronger, and he reached a level similar but the Pirate King, if not even stronger. Rocks might be the only pirate close to Joy Boy to have existed in recent times.
He was Roger’s first and biggest adversary. — Sengoku about Rocks
Oda Will Explore Rocks’s Story Soon
Fans will most definitely continueto see more of Rocksin the upcomingOne Piecechapters. After all, Loki grew to idolize him, while he had big connections with Harald as well. Clearly, Rocks will be central to this flashback, especially the next few chapters, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what comes next. Hopefully,Oda will do the unthinkableand give the fans a small glimpse of Rocks’s true power.
