One Piece Chapter 1156 Reveals A New Legendary Pirate

This post contains spoilers for One Piece.

As each new chapter of the story unfolds, Oda consistently unveils fresh insights about Captain Rocks D. Xebec and his band of followers. Initially, many believed Rocks to be a ruthless leader who maintained power through fear, but upon closer examination, this portrayal seems incomplete. The truth is that Rocks’ crew followed him not out of fear, but because they shared his vision. They aspired to claim the grandest treasure in existence, and for that, they understood the necessity of working together as a cohesive unit.

Previously, it was common knowledge that the Rocks Pirates boasted numerous high-caliber combatants. However, the public had yet to witness them all in action. Fortunately, Oda has been unveiling these top-tier fighters gradually. In One Piece Chapter 1156, another famed pirate was introduced, who would subsequently join the Rocks Pirates’ ranks.

Silver Axe Made His Debut In One Piece Chapter 1156

Silver Axe Was Known As Kyo The Hit Man

  • Silver Axe joined the Rocks Pirates
  • Silver Axe was Shiki’s rival

In One Piece Chapter 1156, viewers encountered Silver Axe, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, previously recognized as Kyo The Hit Man. This individual wasn’t exactly laid-back or easygoing. In this chapter, Silver Axe made his way to Hachinosu with the intention of joining forces with the Rocks Pirates. It is plausible that he sought confrontation with Shiki, who was his longstanding rival.

It’s intriguing to note that when Silver Axe was attacked by another pirate, he expanded in size similar to Urouge. This could suggest that Silver Axe might have previously consumed Urouge’s Devil Fruit, which amplifies a person’s physical strength based on the damage inflicted upon them. Given his axe-wielding nature and penchant for chaos, this fruit seems fitting for Silver Axe. Moreover, given his ability to join the Rocks Pirates, it appears he had mastery over his unique power.

The Rocks Pirates Wanted To Conquer The World

Rock D. Xebec was a man with grand ambitions, and these aspirations were clearly evident in his actions. He boldly traveled to Marijoa and abducted no less than five rulers who happened to be present for the Reverie. What makes this accomplishment all the more astonishing is that security measures are at their peak during this event. His audacious move during such a perilous time has only served to increase his notoriety.

After discovering Imu, Rocks might have aimed to oust them from their position and usher in a time of liberty. He understood that confronting Imu single-handedly was unfeasible, hence his collection of numerous powerful allies to assist him in the ensuing conflict.

Rocks D. Xebec Was The Strongest Pirate Of His Time

Rocks’ Strength Was Unmatched

In his time, pirate D. Xebec held an unmatched power among his peers. He was not just skilled with a sword, but his strikes were likened to the impact of cannonballs or massive hammers, causing immense destruction. His blows were so strong they even shattered the Fortress of Justice. Moreover, he is the unique character in the world of One Piece who has successfully taken down a Marine Admiral.

Beyond showcasing remarkable swordsmanship, it was his colossal Haki that set Rocks apart. Joined by Harald in Marijoa, they left barely anything standing within a 5-kilometer radius. It’s fair to assume that his attacks imbued with Haki could penetrate almost any defense. Rocks appeared to possess physical abilities beyond the norm for most people. This became evident when he engaged a giant as large as Harald without breaking a sweat.

One more indication of Rocks’ dominance over others was that only the united force of Roger and Garp could subdue him. Had they not joined forces, it’s plausible that Rocks would have remained alive, potentially leading to the continued existence of the World Government.
