One Piece Chapter 1164: Roger and Garp’s Reaction to the “Legendary” Event of God Valley
The Darkest and Most Heart-Wrenching Moment in One Piece
Who could have ever imagined that one of the darkest moments in One Piece history would become one of the most emotionally gut-wrenching? With Chapter 1164, Eiichiro Oda completely upends everything we thought we knew about Rocks D. Xebec, the man who once shook the seas and dominated emperors.
Once a symbol of chaos, Rocks now becomes a victim of divine manipulation by Imu, forced to transform into a demonic entity under the power of Domi Reversi. In that single moment, when he pleads with Roger and Garp to end his life, One Piece reaches one of its highest emotional peaks.
One Piece 1164: The Cry of a Monster Who Wanted to Be Human
Rocks D. Xebec has always been portrayed as a tyrant: ambitious, destructive, willing to challenge the Celestial Dragons and commit unspeakable crimes. But beneath the fury, there was a man. His friendship with Harald, his affection for Eris, and his bond with Teach revealed a fragile, almost fatherly side, suffocated by the violence of the world around him.
In Chapter 1164, his fate is sealed: Imu, embodied in the form of Saturn, uses Domi Reversi to corrupt his mind. As madness consumes him, Rocks manages, for a fleeting moment, to regain his sanity. With tears in his eyes, he begs Roger and Garp to kill him before his fury destroys those he loves.
Roger and Garp: Between Duty and Mercy
For years, we believed that the legend of God Valley was a battle between heroes and a tyrant. Now, we learn that it was, in fact, an execution of mercy. Roger and Garp, once rivals to Rocks, now face an enemy who is no longer an enemy—a man who begs for death rather than become the monster that Imu has turned him into.
The actions of Garp and Roger, once celebrated as a triumph, now reveal themselves as acts of compassion. The truth behind their alliance takes on a tragic weight: they did not fight to win, but to free a man from the shackles of a god’s manipulation.
Rewriting the Myth of God Valley
With this twist, Oda demolishes the myth of “absolute evil” and replaces it with a far more bittersweet reflection: even monsters are victims of power. The story of Rocks, from executioner to martyr, radically alters the perception of the past. The World Government, which once labeled him an enemy of peace, now appears as the true architect of the nightmare at God Valley.
Thus, the legend that for decades has made Roger and Garp famous becomes a silent tragedy, the weight of a decision no one ever wanted to make.
Rocks D. Xebec in One Piece
Rocks D. Xebec does not die as a villain, as we read on Fandomwire, but as a man who found the last shred of humanity amidst the chaos. The sea will not remember his tears, but the readers will. Chapter 1164 reminds us that in One Piece, as in real life, the true battle is not between good and evil, but between freedom and manipulation.
Now, one question remains: who will truly tell the story of God Valley?
