One Piece: Oda Reveals The Founding Members Of The Rocks Pirates

by

This article contains spoilers for the One Piece manga.

Right now, the “One Piece” manga series is progressing through the Elbaf storyline, and the tension is escalating as we delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding an iconic historical pirate, Rocks D. Xebec.

In Loki’s flashback, it was a delight for fans to see Xebec, as it offered a glimpse into the lore of his renowned crew, the Rocks Pirates. Fans have long pondered over the origins of this band of pirates, and now, in One Piece chapter 1155, we finally learn about the founding members of their esteemed group.

The Rocks Pirates Were The World’s Strongest Crew

This Crew Had Some of the Strongest Pirates Ever

I’ve come across the infamous gang known as the Rock Pirates. Each member of this crew was a formidable figure on their own, towering like colossal legends. However, their biggest flaw seemed to be an unsettling lack of unity, which ultimately led to their demise.

In the narrative of Sengoku, The Rocks Pirates made their significant debut when they were first mentioned in Gods Valley. This revelation left fans in awe as they beheld an impressive array of characters.

It’s truly remarkable to imagine a crew composed of Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and Shiki. Individually, they each pose significant threats that could shake the entire world of One Piece.

Apart from being the standouts, there were other significant team members too. This crew included figures such as Gloriosa, who once ruled Amazon Lily before Shakky, as well as Stussy, Marlon, Captain John, Wang Zhi, and Ganzui.

Naturally, let’s not overlook our captain, Rocks D. Xebec. He’s been shrouded in enigma throughout most of the tale, but we’re gradually uncovering more about him thanks to the current flashback unfolding in Elbaf.

Regarding the members of the Rocks Pirates, it’s important to note that they weren’t all at the pinnacle of their strength. For instance, Kaido, who sailed with the Rocks Pirates, was merely a teenager during his tenure. However, even in those early days, Kaido was already an intimidating figure, a beast in his own right.

The Founding Members of the Rocks Pirates Are Revealed

  • Rocks D. Xebec Was The Captain
  • Whitebeard, Shiki, Stussy, Marlon, Wang Zhi, and Ganzui Were Founding Members

Although viewers are familiar with the individual members of the Rocks Pirates, it remains unclear in One Piece comic who initially joined their crew first. However, the latest chapter sheds some light on this matter.

Among the original founders, it’s undoubtedly Whitebeard who stands out the most. Whitebeard has been associated with Rocks for a considerable period, and this chapter underscores that connection. Apart from Whitebeard, Shiki and Stussy are also prominent figures. Although they aren’t explicitly named as founding members, they were the initial crew members of the Rocks Pirates, even before Rocks had his own ship flag.

Additionally, Oda disclosed that when Rockstar was stationed in Elbaf, he had Marlon, Wang Zhi, and Ganzui as part of his team. So far, fans haven’t gotten a good look at these characters though.

Indeed, fans are curious as to when characters such as Big Mom and Gloriosa became part of the crew, and it seems that author Oda plans to reveal this in One Piece chapter 1156. It’s worth noting that Big Mom is already known to have joined the crew at some point.
