In the realm of “One Piece,” fans have been captivated by numerous mind-blowing enigmas, and among them, the God Valley Incident stands out as one of the most intriguing. This pivotal event was subtly hinted at during the Wano Country storyline, where it was revealed to viewers that this island was once a battleground for the strongest warriors 38 years prior.

Thirty-eight years ago during the God Valley Incident, the world underwent a profound transformation. Some powers crumbled that day, while others rose to prominence and etched their names into history. Interestingly, the island where they were all battling, God Valley, simply disappeared. It’s possible that Oda subtly kept the secret of God Valley’s fate from fans.

The God Valley Incident And The Fate Of The Island

The Rocks Pirates Attacked The Celestial Dragons On God Valley

38 years prior in the world of One Piece, the tragic event known as the God Valley Incident unfolded. This incident was preceded by a series of ruthless games orchestrated by the Celestial Dragons, who referred to them as the Native Hunting Games. The purpose of these games was twofold: they aimed to wipe out the inhabitants of God Valley and subsequently assimilate the island into the World Government, effectively rebooting life there. To the World Government, these games were a form of amusement, providing an opportunity to hunt down the residents of God Valley, while also entertaining themselves with their enslaved population in Marijoa.

For unknown reasons, the Celestial Dragons found themselves on the receiving end of Rocks D. Xebec’s anger because he had been robbed. In search of a valuable item, be it the legendary fruit or something else of great worth, Rocks made his way to God Valley. This information was shared with Roger as well, causing him to arrive there. Simultaneously, Garp learned about Roger’s presence on the island and swiftly headed there. The Holy Knights were already assembled, leading to a massive confrontation – the largest battle seen in the One Piece world thus far. When the smoke cleared, Rocks was defeated, his pirate crew disbanded, and prominent figures like Garp and Roger gained notoriety. Most significantly, God Valley disappeared from existence.

Where Is God Valley Currently?

Gecko Moria Knows The Answer To The Question

38 years ago, the Native Hunting Games were held in the legendary land of God Valley, nestled in the heart of West Blue. And let me tell you, as a dedicated fan, it’s not hard to see why this place was chosen! But here’s the intriguing part: despite its rich history, God Valley didn’t suffer the same fate as Ohara, which was destroyed, or Lulucia, which was obliterated by the power of the Ancient Weapons. Now, isn’t that peculiar?

This suggests a major event took place in God Valley, an event that still remains a mystery to us all. And guess who might hold the key to this enigma? None other than Gecko Moria and his infamous ship, Thriller Bark! The pieces of the puzzle are slowly falling into place, aren’t they? It seems our journey to uncover God Valley’s secrets is far from over.

This island was brought here all the way from the West Blue. — Brook

Readers are aware that Thriller Bark is the largest vessel in the world of One Piece, but what sets it apart is that it’s actually an island. This unique island possesses its own magnetic waves. It’s evident that Moria stole this island from somewhere. Notably, Brook hints that Thriller Bark originated from the West Blue. This suggests that the island mysteriously appeared in the Grand Line while another island vanished. Furthermore, it’s possible that some individuals who fell during the God Valley Incident were raised as zombies by Moria, which could potentially include characters like Silver Axe or even Captain John. Here’s hoping that Oda sheds light on the true aftermath of the God Valley incident for fans soon.

In two weeks’ time, the latest chapter (Chapter 1149) of One Piece will be published. Typically, new episodes come out on Sundays. For those in Japan, the drop happens at midnight JST on Monday.
