One Piece’sElbaf arc shocked the fans when it finally went on to revealthe legendary figure, Rocks D. Xebecto them for the very first time.One Piecechapter 1154 shocked all fans with its major reveal, and it goes without saying that Oda will only build upon the character of Rocks from here onwards.
As Rocks debuted in the chapter, fans saw Oda building his legend up almost immediately. It was made known that Rocks was one of the most wanted men in the world, and all this started due to him taking down and killing a Marine Admiral single-handedly, and then vanishing in thin air from the Reverie. Naturally, fans are wondering what abilities Rocks had, and a Devil Fruit comes to mind.
One Piecechapter 1154 didn’t give the fans much informationabout Rocks D. Xebec’s power, other than how strong he was, but the small hints that Oda drops in his chapter are usually very important. Oda revealed in One Piece chapter 1154 that Rocks vanished almost in thin air after killing the Admiral. At the Reverie, this shouldn’t be possible without a Devil Fruit, and suggests that he had one.
He killed a Navy Admiral single-handedly and vanished in thin air. This earned him a huge bounty. — Narrator, One Piece 1154
At the same time, most top tiers inOne Pieceactually have a Devil Fruit. The likes of Roger Pirates, Shanks, and Garp are an exception. Rocks having a Devil Fruit is more than likely to be the case.
Rocks Could’ve Teleported Out With This Power
Rocks D. Xebec might’ve had the Ope Ope no Mi, and the idea behind this is simple. For one, fans know that a legendary doctor before Law held the fruit, and this person could well have been Rocks. More than that, the hand sign that Rocks was making in One Piece chapter 1154 is quite similar to what Law usually makes when using Shambles.
Is this country Elbaf? — Rocks to Loki
Rocks teleporting out of Marijoa could’ve easily been accomplished using the power of the Ope Ope no Mi. Most importantly, this Devil Fruit ability could’ve also allowed Rocks to survive the God Valley Incident, and defy all odds.
This Would Complete A Solid Parallel Between Ace And Blackbeard
Another Devil Fruit that Xebec could’vehad is the Mera Mera no Mi. This is simply because this fruit fits his personality, but also because it would be ironic for it to then go to the son of his biggest rival, Roger. Meanwhile, his own son, Blackbeard, took the Devil Fruit of his right-hand man, Whitebeard.
For now, the Ope Ope no Mi seems like the best option, as it would explain how he aimed to become the King of the World, how he escaped Marijoa, and how he is likely alive even today. But, other Devil Fruits, like the Mera Mera no Mi, or even the Yami Yami no Mi, are options.
