The latest One Piece Chapter 1164 leaks have sent shockwaves through the community, unveiling one of the most cryptic and spine-chilling exchanges in the series so far. In a moment dripping with tension and mystery, Rocks D. Xebec directly confronts Imu — the hidden sovereign of the world — and asks a question that fans can’t stop dissecting: “Who are you more afraid of? Davy Jones or Joy Boy?”
A Line That Shook the Fandom
This brief but loaded line has ignited endless speculation across the fandom. For years, Davy Jones has been treated as a mythological reference in the One Piece world — a figure symbolizing the depths of the sea and forgotten souls. But this confrontation implies he may be a real, terrifying figure tied to the same ancient history as Joy Boy himself. By daring to compare the two, Rocks might be suggesting that both are part of a long-lost era that Imu personally witnessed — or even fought against.
Many fans now believe that Davy Jones could represent the darker half of the ocean’s will, a rival to Joy Boy’s inherited will of liberation. The question, then, isn’t just who Imu fears — but which legacy still threatens the throne of the world: the abyss below, or the dawn that rises above it.
The God Valley Arc Has Taken Over the Fandom
The God Valley Incident continues to dominate conversations, standing as one of the most ambitious and lore-heavy arcs Eiichiro Oda has ever created. It brings together titans like Rocks D. Xebec, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, and Imu in a historical flashback that feels almost biblical in scale. This is more than a battle — it’s the moment that defined the world’s balance of power.
Through this arc, Oda has peeled back layers of history long shrouded in mystery: the Celestial Dragons’ sins, the origin of pirate dynasties, and the ancient forces that shaped the current era. For fans, it’s the kind of storytelling that One Piece has teased for decades — the “true history” hidden beneath the surface finally coming into focus.
Fans Don’t Want to Return to the Straw Hats Yet
While One Piece has always centered around Luffy and his crew, many fans admit they’re not ready to leave this flashback behind. On social media, discussions have exploded with comments like “This doesn’t even feel like a flashback — it’s the climax of the entire saga.”
The dark tone, the legendary scale, and the haunting dialogue between characters like Rocks and Imu have made the God Valley Arc feel like its own epic. Readers are enthralled by seeing the monsters of history — characters only whispered about in legends — collide in scenes that redefine everything we know about the world. One viral fan comment summarized it perfectly: “If we go back to the Straw Hats now, it’ll feel like waking up from a dream we don’t want to end.”
Oda’s Mastery of Myth and Mystery
Chapter 1164 cements Eiichiro Oda’s position as a master of mythmaking. Few creators could weave together ancient ocean folklore, political conspiracy, and emotional character arcs into one cohesive narrative — yet Oda continues to do so effortlessly.
Rocks’ question to Imu encapsulates the heart of One Piece: the fear of forgotten truths. Whether Davy Jones represents the ocean’s curse or Joy Boy’s rival, one thing is certain — Oda is steering the story into uncharted waters.
As the God Valley flashback edges toward its climax, fans can feel it: the storm is coming. And for the first time, even Imu — the ruler of shadows — might be showing fear.
