This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Chapter 1165 of One Piece is now available, and fans agree it’s a particularly thrilling part of the story. The current arc is diving deep into the God Valley Incident, which is generating a lot of excitement. The previous chapter brought the One Piece God Valley flashback to a peak, and fans were captivated by the events.

The long-awaited battle between Garp, Roger, and Rocks D. Xebec was finally revealed with incredible detail. Not only did fans get to see a fantastic fight, but they also got a clear look at one of the most powerful Haki users in the One Piece world. Although many believe Shanks has the strongest Haki, Domi Reversi Rocks is currently shown to be even more powerful. His Haki surpasses even that of Garp and Roger, making him a truly exceptional character.

Rocks’s Haki After Domi Reversi Is Too Overpowered

  • Roger and Garp had to combine their Haki
  • Their attacks were getting nullified

In One Piece chapter 1165, Oda revealed the full extent of Domi Reversi’s power, showing its effect on Rocks D. Xebec. Fans already knew Rocks was exceptionally strong – he’d easily defeated a Navy Admiral and even one of the Holy Knights, Garling Figarland – and this chapter demonstrated just how powerful Domi Reversi was in comparison.

Rocks needed powerful Haki to accomplish everything he did, and that’s a given. But after mastering Domi Reversi, his Haki reached an incredible level, evident in his battles with Roger and Garp. The gap in their Haki was so significant that neither Roger nor Garp could even injure Rocks with their own Haki-enhanced attacks.

Rocks’s Haki, as demonstrated in chapter 1165, appears to be the most powerful ever seen in One Piece, surpassing even what Joy Boy displayed in the Egghead arc. While Shanks is undeniably strong, Rocks with Domi Reversi – a significantly enhanced state – is on a completely different level, making a direct comparison unfavorable for Shanks.

Shanks Might Also Have This Haki Power

For Now, Domi Reversi Rocks Is Stronger Than Him

When it comes to Haki skills in One Piece, Shanks is considered one of the most masterful users. Many fans believe he possesses exceptionally strong Haki, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he shared an ability with Rocks – the power to cancel out incoming attacks. However, Shanks’ level of Haki likely isn’t as potent as Rocks’ was after using Domi Reversi.

It’s difficult to accurately measure the full extent of Shanks’s Haki. Considering that neither Roger nor Garp could break through Rocks’s Haki defense, it’s likely Shanks wouldn’t be able to either. The fact that only Roger and Garp working together could penetrate that barrier strongly suggests Rocks possessed Haki on an entirely different level of power.

One Piece Chapter 1165 is scheduled for release this week, as usual on Sundays. While it becomes available in Japan at midnight on Monday (JST), most international fans will be able to read it on November 9, 2025. The official release date is November 9th, and the chapter will be available for free on Manga Plus.
