by

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

Summary

  • Rocks D. Xebec visited Elbaf long ago, where Loki idolized him but was not allowed to join the Rocks Pirates.
  • Xebec’s presence in Elbaf hints at a potential deal with King Harald, possibly involving protection or the legendary Devil Fruit.
  • The upcoming One Piece chapter 1146 will likely reveal more about Rocks D. Xebec’s past and his connection to Elbaf.

In chapter 1145 of “One Piece,” fans were thrilled for numerous reasons, primarily because a character named Rocks D. Xebec was introduced during the Elbaf storyline. Fans had not anticipated seeing Rocks in this arc, but now that he’s here, the excitement is skyrocketing!

It seems that the narrative will primarily revolve around Rocks D. Xebec, with Loki serving as the ideal character for the author to explore this storyline. Fans can expect more of Rocks in these chapters, but his debut has sparked a significant query: why was Rocks D. Xebec in Elbaf? There is surely a profound explanation for this enigma.

Loki’s Flashback: Rocks D. Xebec Visited Elbaf Long Ago

  • Loki Idolized Rocks Long Ago
  • Rocks Did Not Allow Loki To Join The Rocks Pirates

In chapter 1145 of One Piece, fans were taken aback when they discovered Rocks D. Xebec for the first time. Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew attended to Loki’s wounds and fed him. Alongside this action, fans also learned more about Loki’s past. This revelation occurred after Loki recognized a similarity between Luffy’s determination to meet Shanks and his own past admiration for Rocks D. Xebec. Previously, Loki had idolized Xebec too. The story further unfolded as fans got a peek into Xebec’s life in the land of the Giants, where he was approached by Loki Ina at a tavern – an event that mirrors how Luffy and Shanks regularly met at Shakky’s bar. There, Luffy would ask Shanks to join him on sea voyages as a pirate.

I didn’t come all this way to meet with snot-nosed brats like you. — Rocks D. Xebec to Loki

In a similar fashion, Loki repeatedly pleaded with Xebec to join him on his sea voyages as part of the Pirates of the Rocks. Regrettably for Loki, his request was turned down by the captain, prompting him to confront Xebec. Moments later, a battered and bleeding Loki was discovered wielding a knife. It’s evident that this violent act was orchestrated by none other than Xebec himself. Remarkably, though, Loki continues to admire him deeply.

Why Did Rocks D. Xebec Visit Elbaf?

Rocks Could’ve Had Business With King Harald

The main question on fans’ minds at the moment is: What brought Xebec to Elbaf? It’s possible he was just passing through, but his interaction with Loki suggests he stayed for a while, stirring Loki’s infatuation and eventually gaining his respect. Additionally, Elbaf isn’t an ordinary place where anyone can go. So, there might be several reasons why Xebec chose to visit Elbaf, but the most plausible one could revolve around Harald.

I was simply born in the wrong era. — Loki to Luffy

In the past, it’s plausible that Captain Rocks D. Xebec and his band of pirates guarded Elbaf as their domain. This may imply that Rocks had an agreement or connection with King Harald of Elbaf. It’s likely that Rocks visited Elbaf to meet King Harald for various reasons. One possibility is that he was aware of a danger in Elbaf and aimed to eradicate it, possibly from the government, to safeguard the nation. Another reason could be his interest in the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf. Ultimately, fans can assume that Rocks had a bond with King Harald and may have assisted him at some point.

After Harald’s demise, it seems plausible that there was no ruler safeguarding the nation. This absence might have led to his connection with the Holy Knights.

One Piece’s next chapter, number 1146, will be published soon, likely towards the end of this week. As always, the release will take place on a Sunday. For those in Japan, the chapter will go live at midnight JST on Monday. However, most international readers can expect to access the chapter on April 20. The official date for One Piece Chapter 1146 is April 20, 2025. Excited fans can read it for free on Manga Plus.
