🔥 Predictions & Spoilers: One Piece Chapter 1162
🥊 Roger vs Rocks vs Garp: The Sky-Splitting Clash
All signs point toward an epic three-way war between Roger, Garp, and Rocks — the mightiest titans of their generation.
- Haki clash splits the sky, similar to Yonko battles.
- Roger and Garp may reluctantly ally to stop Rocks, whose strength rivals a one-man army.
- This could be the chapter that earns Garp the title “Hero of the Marines”, showcasing his prime might.
“This fire isn’t even a warm-up, Linlin!” – Garp to Big Mom, Chapter 1161
🧩 Rocks’ Death – Betrayal & Imu’s Shadow
Chapter 1161 hinted at betrayal in the Rocks Pirates. But who pulled the strings?
- Key suspects: Shiki, Kaido, or possibly a Holy Knight
- Bold theory: Imu directly eliminates Rocks, revealing himself in God Valley.
- The Room of Flowers’ gigantic sword may be linked to Rocks’ true form or a curse.
“What if Rocks didn’t go mad… but was made to?” – Reddit Theory
💨 Dragon Gets His Devil Fruit
Unconfirmed leaks suggest this chapter marks the moment Dragon acquires his Devil Fruit – likely a Wind-Wind Fruit or Weather-Weather Fruit.
- Matches his known powers in the present (wind storms, weather control)
- October 5 is Dragon’s birthday — poetic timing
- God Valley may hold the mythical Zoan or Logia fruit in question
🧱 Shanks’ Origin – The Treasure Chest Theory
Did Roger really find Shanks in a chest? Spoilers suggest:
- Dragon hides baby Shanks in a treasure chest to protect him.
- Roger Pirates discover the chest post-battle — and raise Shanks.
- Explains Shanks’ emotional bond with Dragon and Garp.
Also… who is Shamrock? Possibly Shanks’ twin sibling, linked to the Figarland family?
⚔️ Secondary Battles: Holy Knights vs Legends
1. Figarland Garling vs Rayleigh
Rayleigh just saved Shakky. Expect Saint Garling, rumored to be Shanks’ father, to confront him next.
- Could unlock secrets about the Figarland bloodline
- May also hint at the origins of Holy Knights
2. Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom vs Garp
Chapter 1161 ended with Garp punching his way through the trio.
- Will we see Prime Garp overwhelm them?
- This fight may be why the three ultimately leave the Rocks crew.
3. Roger vs Whitebeard?
A brief duel may spark, only to be interrupted by Rocks or Imu’s arrival — forcing a ceasefire.
