One Piece‘s ongoing manga is currently exploring Harald’s backstory in the Elbaf Arc, which has taken an unexpected turn by unraveling the secrets of Rocks D. Xebec. Rocks was a legendary pirate with unparalleled strength and was defeated by the combined efforts of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp. Before the Elbaf Arc, Rocks was portrayed as a ruthless villain, but the truth couldn’t be more different. He was the farthest thing from ruthless, and he didn’t crave destruction, but instead had a clear goal in mind. Of course, as a pirate who wanted to take down the Holy Land of Mariejois, he will be considered a villain by the World Government.
However, we have witnessed time and again how many lives the tyranny of the World Government has destroyed. And the ones supporting them are the Marine Officers who use their power to help the World Government continue their atrocious acts. That is why Sengoku’s version of the story in Chapter 957 could be fabricated, or at least a major part of the truth was hidden. It’s been a few weeks since Rocks was introduced, and we learn right away that he is Blackbeard’s father. The latest Chapter 1159 finally reveals Blackbeard’s bloodline, and it’s the most shocking part of the backstory.
One Piece Chapter 1159 Reveals Blackbeard’s Legendary Clan
One Piece Chapter 1107 already foreshadowed that Blackbeard’s bloodline is special, and now the series has revealed he belongs to the Davy Clan. The Clan members are descendants of the legendary pirate Davy Jones, who existed a long time ago and has become somewhat of a myth or a deity. In Chapter 1155, the narrator explained that Rocks introduces himself as a believer of Davy Jones, which was again a clear indication of his connection with the mythical pirate.
The World Government persistently tried to cover up its existence, and the Clan survived after taking root in the criminal underworld. During a conversation with Harald in Chapter 1159, Rocks explained that his real name is Davy D. Xebec. The reason God Valley was chosen for the Native Hunting Competition wasn’t a coincidence, but a plan to lure out Rocks who wouldn’t stand still after knowing his homeland was about to be destroyed.
Rocks was determined to protect God Valley, as he had sent his wife and son there to keep them safe. As the chapter ends, we see a brief glimpse of a two-year-old Blackbeard who is chained in God Valley after the commencement of the Native Hunting Competition. His mother, whose face isn’t revealed, is trying to comfort him and tell him to survive this.
