God Valley Incident: Recap Before the Storm
The God Valley Arc is arguably the most legendary untold saga in One Piece—until now. Spanning decades before Luffy’s journey began, it finally peels back the curtain on a battle royale of mythical proportions:
Rocks Pirates vs. Roger and Garp.
Key Recap Events:
- Rocks D. Xebec, the enigmatic terror of the seas, is demon-possessed by Imu.
- He turns on his own crew, even attacking Kaido and Big Mom.
- Gol D. Roger, sensing something amiss, tries to speak to Rocks.
- In a lucid moment, Rocks begs to be killed, suggesting he’s still trapped inside.
“Get out of my way! Kill me…” – the only words Rocks can utter under possession.
This sets the stage for Chapter 1166, which is expected to end this flashback with explosive consequences that will reverberate through the present-day Elbaf Arc.
Chapter 1166 Predictions: Battles, Deaths & Revelations
⚔️ Scopper Gaban vs. Holy Knight Summer
Why it matters: Scopper Gaban has been shrouded in mystery. Chapter 1166 is where he steps into the spotlight.
- Summer, a Holy Knight with regenerative powers, fears Gaban—hinting at trauma from their past duel.
- Gaban will wield dual axes imbued with Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, likely shattering Summer’s so-called “immortality”.
- This battle provides a pivotal escape window for Roger and crew to flee God Valley’s collapsing core.
Gaban’s win not only settles past trauma but proves that Roger’s crew wasn’t just two-man show.
❗ Whitebeard’s Scar – Origins Unveiled
Several theories swirl around Whitebeard’s mysterious scar:
- Figarland Garling – Romantic Duel
- A woman involved? Old-school pirate drama incoming.
- Shamrock – The Challenger
- A warrior resembling Shanks may have left the wound.
- Garling’s Ambush (Most Likely):
- Whitebeard protects Bolo Gram (Marco’s father), suffers wound.
- Gram dies entrusting Marco to Whitebeard → Birth of “Pirate Family” ideology.
This explanation gives Marco’s role true emotional gravity and aligns with Whitebeard’s iconic words: “You are my sons!”
💥 God Valley’s Destruction – Not Uranus, Just Raw Power
Contrary to popular belief, no Ancient Weapon sank God Valley. It was obliterated by a perfect storm of Conqueror’s Haki clashes and Devil Fruit chaos:
- Roger & Garp vs. Demon Rocks
- Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi quakes
- Big Mom’s Soul manipulation
- Kaido’s Dragon devastation
Think Punk Hazard, but on an apocalyptic scale.
Mountains shattered, terrain fractured, and the island ultimately sank or drifted. What emerged in its place?
Theory Spotlight: Thriller Bark = God Valley
One of the wildest theories with eerie credibility:
Thriller Bark—Moria’s ghost ship—is actually the remains of God Valley.
🔍 Supporting Evidence:
- Captain John’s corpse was found on Thriller Bark (he fought at God Valley).
- Moria collected zombies from the battlefield.
- World Government targeted Moria, possibly to silence him.
- God Valley “disappeared” from maps—what if it just floated away?
“That island holds secrets not even the Celestial Dragons want to remember.“
Could Oda be tying early arcs back into the central narrative all along?
Rocks D. Xebec’s Final Moments
The chapter may offer closure to the most enigmatic villain yet.
🗣️ What Rocks Might Say Before Death:
- “You were right, Roger. I went too far.”
- “The world isn’t ready for the truth.”
- “The will of D… it won’t die with me.”
Possibly using the Voice of All Things, Rocks’ final words might trigger a new wave of prophecy—especially if Blackbeard is truly his inheritor.
Power Scaling Analysis
🪓 Scopper Gaban’s True Strength
- Confirmed to wield Advanced Conqueror’s Haki.
- Capable of scarring or even defeating regenerating foes.
- Puts him in tier with Rayleigh, Oden, and other legends.
🧬 Holy Knight Summer – Regeneration Has Limits
- Possibly a Devil Fruit user or science experiment (think Lunarian or Seraphim tech).
- But Haki attacks damage the soul, nullifying regeneration.
- Summer’s trauma shows that mental scars > physical wounds.
