If there’s one thing thatOne Piecefans have wanted to see in the manga the most, it is the Rocks Pirates. Ever since this legendary group was first introduced in the story, fans have been obsessing over them, especially since this legendary pirate crew controls the flow of just about everything that’s been going on in the current era.
Specifically, there was one figure in the Rocks Pirates that fans wanted more information on, and of course, this figure wasnone other than Rocks D. Xebec, the Captain of the crew. So far, Oda has only revealed bits and pieces about Rocks, and much about him remains unknown. Fans have always wanted to see him properly and a fully fleshed-out story about him, and with the beginning of the Loki flashback, they finally have that opportunity. InOne Piecechapter 1154, Oda not only revealed the full design of the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec, but also his very own son, who is alive and well right now.
Rocks D. Xebec Is Blackbeard’s Father
One Piecechapter 1154 was absolutely massive in more ways than one. Not only did it continue the story of Harald and Loki in different ways, but it also gave the fans an exciting look at the other big figures in the world of One Piece,such as Rocks D. Xebec. This chapter was particularly rich when it comes to information about Rocks. Fans were told that Rocks went to the Reverie 56 years ago, and there, he killed an Admiral of the Navy, earning himself his first bounty. At the same time, Rocks formed a pirate crew, which came to be known as the Rocks Pirates.

Some time later, Rocks came to Elbaf, where he met Loki, and asked him about his father, Harald. By the looks of it, Rocks and Harald connected during the Reverie 56 years ago, but a deeper look at their relationship is needed. Regardless, another major piece of information that Oda dropped here was the announcement of Blackbeard beingthe son of Rocks D. Xebec.
