by

This article contains spoilers for One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

One Piece is now exploring the Elbaf arc, and it’s been incredibly well-received. It’s fair to say the series is experiencing its most thrilling period right now, as the story delves into the history of Rocks and his crew, along with other famous figures from the past-something fans have been eagerly anticipating.

Naturally, whenever the name Rocks D. Xebec is mentioned, discussions also turn to Roger and God Valley. It’s fair to say the main reason fans are so eager for Loki’s backstory is because it will reveal more about the fight between Roger and Rocks, and the God Valley Incident, which happened 38 years ago. It now appears that Oda has at last shown fans what caused the God Valley Incident.

When I was a kid, I thought to myself: man I would love to draw a manga with the most hyped final stage! I wonder if I’m up to it! Now, we have only a tiny bit of Wano arc left, the preparations are almost done. Took me 25 years lol. That said, it’s fine if you start reading from this point on. Because from this point on…it’ll be… The ONE PIECE!! The mysteries of this world, I’ll be drawing all of them! It’ll be super interesting! Fasten your seatbelt! And please stay with me for a bit longer! — Eiichiro Oda, Author of One Piece, 2022

God Valley Happened After The Government Stole From The Pirate Island

  • One Piece Chapter 1096 Gave Some Clues
  • The Government Led An Operation Against Rocks

Although One Piece fans don’t know much about the God Valley Incident, Oda has revealed some information about it. A major clue came in One Piece chapter 1096, which detailed events from Kuma’s past.

Fantastic discovery, Garling! It seems like it was meant to be. – Saint Jaygarcia Saturn in God Valley

In this chapter, I finally got a clear picture of the pirates involved in the God Valley Incident. We already knew the Celestial Dragons and Holy Knights were there for the Native Hunting Competition. But it turns out the Rocks Pirates also attacked the island, and the Roger Pirates were there too. And of course, the Marines showed up because of Roger’s presence.

Interestingly, as the Marines attacked, viewers discovered the reason behind everything. During a conversation between Kong and Garp, it was explained that the World Government originally took the Crowned Jewel of Hachinosu, and now wanted to reclaim it. The Rocks Pirates attempted to retrieve the jewel, and this ultimately resulted in the biggest battle in One Piece history.

Harald, let me tell you this: about two years ago, I unexpectedly became a father. To keep the child safe, I sent them to my home, which is God Valley. – Rocks D. Xebec to Harald

Shakky Was Abducted From The Pirate Island

Shakky Was The Treasure Of The Pirate Island

In One Piece chapter 1157, readers learned a major clue about the most valuable thing on the Pirate Island, and it turns out to be Shakky. As many fans know, she stopped being a pirate some time ago and then opened a bar on the Pirate Island. Because of her well-known past, she became the island’s most prized possession. Garp had previously mentioned this treasure, and it was, in fact, Shakky. The events that led to the God Valley Incident began when she was kidnapped by Ochoku, who was motivated by a reward offered by the Government.

Roger and Rocks Pirates Went To Retrieve Shakky

Shakky was taken captive by the Celestial Dragons and became the main attraction at the God Valley Incident, which happened 38 years ago. This naturally attracted pirates of all kinds to the island, including the Rocks pirates and, of course, Roger. The God Valley Incident was largely a fight to save Shakky from a terrible fate, and also Rocks’ attempt to rescue Eris and Teach.

Chapter 1162 of One Piece is scheduled for release this week, following the typical release pattern. The new chapter will be available in Japan at 12:00 AM JST on Monday. However, most fans around the world will be able to read it on October 5. The official release date for One Piece Chapter 1162 is October 5, 2025.
