3. Full Spoilers: Chapter 1162 — God Valley Battle Royale
The moment we’ve all waited for — Rocks D. Xebec unleashed. This chapter is a powerhouse of world-building, legacy clarification, and lore explosions. Let’s break it down.
🔥 The Backdrop: God Valley in Flames
We continue the explosive flashback. God Valley becomes a battleground for:
- The Rocks Pirates
- The God Knights (led by Saint Garling)
- Celestial Dragons and slave-hunting nobles
- Five Elders (with Saturn possessed)
- And eventually, the Roger Pirates and Garp
The location is central to world history. It’s where legacies are made — or erased.
📕 Yamato’s Cover Story Ends
The side cover story wraps up with Yamato returning to Wano, finally reuniting with Momonosuke and Kin’emon. This subtle emotional closure contrasts with the high-octane events in the main chapter — classic Oda storytelling.
🧨 Rocks Saves Teach & Eris – Lulusia Link?
Rocks rescues Teach and Eris from the battle’s crossfire. Before parting, Eris asks him to meet at Lulusia.
⚠️ Remember: Lulusia was wiped off the map by Imu’s weapon in the present timeline. This scene heavily implies Eris died, possibly one of Imu’s first modern victims.
🐉 Kaido Steals the Azure Dragon Fruit
Big Mom brought the Uo Uo no Mi for Katakuri — a sign of her motherly favoritism. But Kaido ambushes her crew, steals the fruit, and devours it.
This changes everything.
- Big Mom didn’t gift Kaido the fruit — he robbed it.
- Their “life debt” is a farce — it was pirate betrayal.
- Adds layers to their alliance during Wano — it was never true loyalty.
⚔️ Rocks vs. Garling — Supreme Haki Unleashed
Finally, we witness the power of Rocks D. Xebec in combat.
He defeats Saint Figarland Garling, commander of the God Knights — a man speculated to be Shanks’ biological father.
⚔ Rocks’ Abilities:
- Mastery of Conqueror’s Haki
- Advanced Haki coating on his blade (same technique Luffy and Zoro use)
- Overwhelming battle presence — brutal, calculated, relentless
This clash confirms why the World Government feared him more than anyone before Luffy.
🕷 Imu Possesses Saturn — Body Horror Realized
In a scene straight out of a horror movie, Imu takes control of Saturn, entering his spider-like form.
He:
- Possesses Elder bodies
- Transforms Daw Clan members into monsters
- Reveals god-like dominion over flesh and will
This confirms a theory many fans speculated: Imu isn’t just a figurehead — they’re an active, supernatural force.
🐲👊 Monster Alliance: Rocks, Kaido, Whitebeard vs. Imu
The final panel is pure legend status:
Rocks, now joined by Kaido in full dragon form and Whitebeard, prepares to face Imu head-on.
This trio:
- Is equivalent to a Yonko+ force
- Embodies the pinnacle of pre-Roger pirate might
- Symbolizes a direct challenge to the Celestial Order
No wonder the World Government erased this event from history.
