This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
Quick Links
One Piecechapter 1155 has revealed more of one of the strongest characters of all time to the fans, and at the same time, given fans some incredible lore as well. It stands out as one of the greatest chapters of all time in the story, and of course, Rocks D. Xebec is largely responsible for that.
The ongoing flashback has surprised the fans in many ways, but the most shocking revelation was certainly that Rocks was seeking a team-up with a certain individual, and that together, they could’ve formed the strongest team ever.
Rocks And Harald Could’ve Been An Amazing Team In One Piece
Rocks and Harald came face to face with each other for the first time during the Reverie 56 years ago. It was during this Reverie that Rocks attacked Marijoa, and once he did that, he faced off against and killed a Navy Admiral. Following his victory over an Admiral, he pushed deep into the Pangaea Castle and reached the Room of Flowers, wherehe came face to face with Imu. This was a majestic faceoff indeed, but as fans know, it didn’t materialize because Rocks wanted to come back for Imu.
State your name, I’m Rocks! — Rocks to Harald
Before leaving Marijoa, Rocks actually went on to clash with Harald and this is what shocked him. Whereas he expected to blow him away, Harald actually stood his ground and the two engaged in a Conqueror’s Haki clash that blew everyone away. Harald’s strength was so incredible that even Rocks D. Xebec came to respect him.
Rocks Sought Out King Harald 48 Years Ago
As seen inOne Piecechapter 1154, Rocks visited Elbaf around 48 years ago. This visit was solely for one reason, and that was to recruit Harald for his crew. Rocks was absolutely mesmerized by the crew of King Harald, and he believed that together, they were strong enough to rule the world. Their combined power would’ve been unmatched, evento the World Governmentand the Navy, and all those who stood on the other side. This duo would’ve been monstrously powerful, but unfortunately, it never came to be as Harald didn’t accept Rocks’s offer.
Join me, Harald! Together we can take over the world. — Rocks D. Xebec
Zoro And Sanji Are Nowhere Near Them
Their Team Isn’t As Strong
Zoro and Sanji are both strong, given that they’re Luffy’s wings, but neither of them is comparable to the legendary figures of the world, at least now. It goes without saying that their duo is, in no way, strong enough to compete with Xebec and Harald, and even a comparison isn’t fair. While they form a very strong duo, they’re not, in any way, close to the majestic duo of Harald and Rocks. By the end of the series, however, it might be a difficult conversation entirely.
