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

The anime and manga series *One Piece* is now exploring the story of Elbaf, with a major focus on powerful figures from before the Great Pirate Era. Fans have long requested more information about the Rocks Pirates, and the author, Oda, is now delivering, showcasing them in detail. We’re finally seeing Rocks D. Xebec and learning about the world of *One Piece* as it existed forty years ago, before the start of the Great Pirate Era, and fans are captivated by these revelations.

Chapter 1162 of *One Piece* continued to reveal details about the God Valley Incident, a hugely impactful event fans already knew involved legendary figures like Roger, Garp, and Rocks. While fans had some understanding of the battle and its world-altering consequences, Oda is now sharing crucial information previously unknown. Specifically, the chapter officially revealed who was originally meant to have the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu – a tremendously powerful Devil Fruit. It turns out Oda intended for Charlotte Katakuri to possess it, but Kaido of the Rocks Pirates ended up eating the fruit instead, ultimately leading to his status as a Yonko.

Kaido Stole The Devil Fruit From Linlin

  • Katakuri ended up eating the Mochi Mochi no Mi
  • Kaido became a Yonko

Chapter 1162 of *One Piece* revealed that Big Mom never planned on letting Kaido have the powerful Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu Devil Fruit. Instead, when she originally stole it from Ivankov at God Valley, her intention was to give it to her son, Charlotte Katakuri. She believed this fruit would have made Katakuri unstoppable, perfectly complementing his existing abilities.

Kaido unexpectedly attacked her and stole her Devil Fruit. This fruit gave him the ability to transform into a massive, incredibly powerful eastern dragon, making him nearly unbeatable.

If Katakuri had eaten the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, he could have become one of the strongest fighters alive. While Katakuri is already incredibly powerful, his Mochi Mochi no Mi isn’t as strong as Kaido’s Mythical Blue Eastern Dragon fruit.

Had Katakuri eaten this Devil Fruit, he likely would have grown strong enough to become one of the Four Emperors, the most powerful pirates in the world. Considering he already mastered all three forms of Haki, he would have been a serious contender for the title of strongest pirate. However, Kaido consumed the fruit instead, changing the course of history.

I’m so hyped – One Piece Chapter 1162 is coming out this week! Like clockwork, it’ll be released on Sunday in Japan around midnight (that’s 12 AM JST on Monday for them). But for most of us around the world, we can expect it to drop on October 12th. That’s the official release date, and the best part is, we can read it for free on Manga Plus! Can’t wait!
