One Piece 1156 Pre And Spoilers: Rocks D. Xebec Killed Admiral Kiji? The Shocking Truth Behind Imu’s Heart
Jul
What if one of the darkest secrets in One Piece history involves the murder of a forgotten Admiral… and the severed heart of a god-king?
Chapter 1156 may just change everything we thought we knew about the Void Century, the power balance of the world, and the very origin of Devil Fruit theft.
In this deep dive, based on exclusive theories by the ShopMerchGame Team, we’ll explore:
- The true identity of Admiral Kiji a.k.a. “Golden Dragon,”
- How Rocks D. Xebec might have murdered him to empower Shiki,
- The twisted mystery behind Imu’s missing heart,
- The truth about Blackbeard’s multiple personalities,
- And the insane possibility that Rocks had two souls too.
Let’s dive in.
🐉 Who Was Admiral Kiji – The Golden Dragon?
A Hidden Legend of the Marines
According to the ShopMerchGame Team’s theory, Admiral Kiji was a powerful figure from the Marines’ past — a mentor to Sengoku and one of the most respected names before the era of the current admirals.
He was known by the codename “Golden Dragon,” fitting the pattern of admirals being named after a color and animal — like Akainu (Red Dog), Aokiji (Blue Pheasant), and Kizaru (Yellow Monkey).
Yet, for all his assumed glory, Kiji is nowhere to be found in the current canon.
The Floating Devil Fruit Before Shiki?
Kiji was believed to be the original user of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi — the “Float-Float Fruit” later wielded by Shiki the Golden Lion.
The implications are terrifying:
- Rocks D. Xebec killed Kiji,
- Stole his Devil Fruit,
- And then gifted it to Shiki, bringing him into the Rocks Pirates.
This act of theft could be the prototype for what Blackbeard would do decades later — killing for Devil Fruits and empowering his crew with stolen abilities.
Sengoku’s Rage: A Grudge Rooted in Loss
Sengoku’s uncharacteristically emotional hatred for Blackbeard during the Marineford War has always stood out.
This theory suggests it wasn’t just about Whitebeard’s execution or Ace’s death.
Blackbeard is the son of Rocks D. Xebec.
The very man who murdered Sengoku’s idol, stole his power, and corrupted it into the hands of pirates. This isn’t just a vendetta. It’s personal vengeance.
Kiji and Shiki – Character Design Connection
The video also draws attention to early concept art by Eiichiro Oda, where elements of Kiji’s supposed design overlap heavily with Shiki’s final appearance:
- Flowing robes
- Fierce expressions
- Regal animal symbolism (dragon & lion)
It suggests Oda may have repurposed Kiji’s traits into Shiki’s finalized look — possibly hinting at their narrative connection.
👁️ Imu’s Missing Heart – The Secret of Mary Geoise
A Hidden Chamber Beneath the Holy Land?
Chapter 1156 drops another bombshell: Rocks D. Xebec didn’t just kill a marine — he uncovered a secret buried at Mary Geoise.
The severed heart of Imu, the mysterious ruler of the world, was discovered and hidden away.
This theory draws inspiration from Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean, whose own heart was sealed inside a chest — symbolizing power, vulnerability, and control.
The Ope Ope no Mi and the Immortality Surgery
Imu, now believed to be centuries old, could have used the Ope Ope no Mi to preserve their life.
But here’s the twist:
- A genius doctor performed the “Perennial Youth Operation,”
- Then separated Imu’s heart using Room,
- To create a hostage or bargaining tool.
This explains Imu’s seemingly divine longevity, and introduces the idea that someone else has control over them — possibly Joy Boy himself.
Joy Boy, Laugh Tale, and the Sealed Heart
The theory goes even deeper:
Joy Boy sealed Imu’s heart at Laugh Tale using the power of the Nika Fruit, ensuring they could never fully regain control of the world.
This act could explain:
- Why Roger laughed when he reached the final island,
- Why the world government hides Laugh Tale’s true name,
- And why Imu is obsessed with erasing the Nefertari family — especially Lily, who may have helped Joy Boy.
“The love letters between Lily and Imu… were found at Laugh Tale. That’s why Roger laughed.”
Madness? Or genius?
⚔️ The Case of Blackbeard’s Teeth – Triple Personality?
Something’s Off About Blackbeard’s Smile…
Fans have long noticed a bizarre inconsistency in Blackbeard’s teeth across the manga:
- Sometimes his teeth are all present.
- Other times he’s missing 3 or even 4.
This visual inconsistency might not be an error.
It might be evidence of a split personality disorder — a condition that allows multiple souls to coexist in one body.
Three Personalities, Three Fruits?
This theory suggests:
- Each “Blackbeard” inside the body holds a Devil Fruit,
- Explaining why he can survive consuming multiple fruits,
- A feat that normally kills the user.
We already know he has:
- Yami Yami no Mi (Darkness)
- Gura Gura no Mi (Quake)
- Possibly a third — hinted, but not revealed.
Did Rocks D. Xebec Have Two Souls Too?
The ShopMerchGame Team pushes the theory even further:
Rocks may have had a similar ability — perhaps two souls, allowing him to control multiple Devil Fruits as well.
This ties back to:
- His godlike power level,
- His influence over chaotic characters like Kaido and Big Mom,
- And the reason his death was so mysterious.
If Rocks never truly died… what if part of him lives inside Blackbeard now?
🧩 Admiral Naming System – Color, Animal, Symbolism
The Pattern Oda Keeps Using
Let’s revisit the naming system among the Marines:
- Akainu = Red Dog
- Aokiji = Blue Pheasant
- Kizaru = Yellow Monkey
- Ryokugyu = Green Bull
- Fujitora = Wisteria Tiger
Following this logic, Kiji as the Golden Dragon fits perfectly.
It positions him not just as another admiral, but potentially the most powerful, tied to Eastern mythology and Marine command structure.
Why He Was Erased
Kiji’s disappearance from history might be intentional — part of the World Government’s cover-up:
- His death was too shameful.
- His fruit too valuable.
- His legacy too dangerous.
Better to erase him, and pretend he never existed.
🌍 Community Theories & Reactions
Online, fans have been exploding over this theory. Here are just a few takeaways:
“If Blackbeard is Xebec’s son and Kiji was Sengoku’s hero, it adds a Romeo-and-Juliet level of pain to Marineford.” — Reddit
“I’ve always felt Imu was more a puppet than a god. This proves it.” — YouTube comment

🧠 Final Thoughts: Is Chapter 1156 the Biggest Lore Drop Ever?
One Piece Chapter 1156 isn’t just another step toward the final saga.
It may be the chapter that exposes the truth about:
- Admiral Kiji’s tragic death,
- The origin of Shiki’s powers,
- The puppet-master behind Imu,
- And the reincarnation of Rocks D. Xebec himself.
If even half of this theory proves true, it will change the One Piece world forever.
Don’t sleep on this chapter. We’re entering territory where legends are rewritten, and forgotten dragons rise from the dead.
