âł Chapter 1164 Recap: Prelude to Madness
Before diving into the spoilers, letâs recall the final moments of Chapter 1164 â âThe Apex of God Valleyâ:
- Xebec’s Transformation: He becomes something moreâor lessâthan human. Possessed by Dominique Reversi (Imu’s predecessor), Xebec towers over the battlefield like a god of destruction.
- Whitebeardâs Defiance: He blocks a full-force attack with his bare hands. No devil fruit. No weapon. Just sheer will and physical dominance.
- Xebecâs Inner Struggle: Though enhanced, tears fall down his face. Heâs losing control… but a part of him still clings to something â perhaps guilt?
- Whitebeardâs Disappearance: He vanishes. Was he knocked out? Separated by debris? Or betrayed?
Chapter 1165 picks up right where 1164 left offâŚ
đ§ Silent Screams: The Will of D Communicates
The Moment:
Roger and Garpâtwo of the strongest men of their eraâstand before a possessed monster. But then… they hear something.
âPlease… kill me.â
But Xebec never opens his mouth.
How Is That Possible?
This chapter confirms something long-theorized: the Will of D is more than a nameâit’s a spiritual network. A legacy. A curse. A promise.
- Roger, Garp, and Xebec all carry the âD.â
- Through this ancient will, Xebecâs inner plea transcends words, reaching into the very minds of those who share his bloodline ideology.
This moment isnât just powerfulâitâs revolutionary.
Weâre witnessing the activation of the Will of D as a spiritual communication force, separate from the âVoice of All Things.â It implies:
- Those with the âDâ can feel each otherâs pain.
- The will passed on from Joy Boy is alive in these individuals.
- This shared frequency may be the key to defeating the World Government.
â ď¸ Implication: Luffy may one day hear the thoughts of other D-carriers, including past ones.
âď¸ Whitebeardâs Hidden Past: Chapter 1165 Flashback
While Whitebeard lies unconscious, readers are pulled into a deeply personal flashbackâpossibly his earliest memory of Xebec and the Rocks crew.
đ§Ź Whitebeardâs Recruitment
- A young Edward Newgate is discovered by Xebec.
- His raw strength impresses Xebec, who doesnât see him as a toolâbut as a weapon of destiny.
- Heâs indoctrinated, but not corrupted. That difference shapes Whitebeardâs future.
đĽ The Origins of the Scar
- Separated from the main fight in the present, young Whitebeard is attacked by a fellow Rocks pirateâpossibly Shiki, Kuma, or an unnamed betrayer.
- The scar left on his body becomes a symbol of shame and clarity. He vows never to fight for another manâs ambition again.
đ Is Whitebeard Royalty?
- His immense size, white hair, and inherited Conquerorâs Haki suggest ties to a fallen kingdom or the Buccaneer race.
- The scar incident and betrayal solidify Whitebeardâs future philosophy: âA man should never serve under anotherâs dreamâonly protect his own.â
đĽ The Three-Way Battle: Roger + Garp vs. Demon Xebec
This is the climax of the God Valley arc. Every punch could shatter an island.
- Roger and Garp fight not to win, but to fulfill Xebecâs final wish.
- Xebecâs demonic power is no longer his ownâhe is a puppet of something darker.
- The battlefield is annihilated with every clash. Mountains collapse. Oceans rise.
đ The End of Xebec
- Xebec is finally defeated.
- His demonic form is purged, leaving a moment of clarity on his face.
- He dies not as a villainâbut as a man seeking release.
What happens next is even biggerâŚ
đ The Fall of God Valley: Island Sinks, History Erased
With Xebec’s death, his unstable power triggers a chain reaction.
- God Valley collapses into the ocean, never to be found again.
- The World Government erases its existence from maps and memory.
- Whatâs left is a myth. A legend. A lie.
“This is how history is buried. Not by timeâbut by power.”
đ Aftermath: What Happens to the Survivors?
đŠ Roger:
- Learns a fragment of the Void Century and One Pieceâs location from Xebecâs last thoughts.
- Begins the final journey to Laugh Tale.
- Will become Pirate King within years.
đŚ Garp:
- Refuses to walk Rogerâs path.
- Becomes a symbol of moral justice within the Marinesâbut grows disillusioned with their corruption.
- Begins training the next generation differently (hinting at Coby).
đ Dragon:
- Present at God Valley with Kuma and Sora (theory-confirmed flashbacks).
- Witnesses helplessly as the world burns.
- In his despair, his Will of D awakens.
- Receives or awakens a Mythical Zoan Fruitâbecoming a revolutionary force from this very moment.
đŽ Predictions, Fan Theories & Chapter 1166 Teasers
đĄ Prediction Highlights:
