The One Piece fandom never misses an opportunity to turn a serious moment into a wave of memes, and this time, the focus is on none other than Rocks D. Xebec. After the recent controversial coloring of the Holy Knights in official materials, fans have taken to social media to joke about what Eiichiro Oda might do with the legendary pirate’s eventual color reveal. With the God Valley Arc dominating the manga, speculation — and humor — are running wild.
The God Valley Arc Has Taken Over the Fandom
The God Valley Incident has become one of the most captivating storylines in One Piece history, and fans aren’t ready for it to end anytime soon. Eiichiro Oda’s depiction of this long-lost era has united icons like Rocks D. Xebec, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, and even the mysterious Imu — transforming what could’ve been a flashback into a full-blown historical saga. The arc delves deep into the political and moral foundations of the world, revealing the origins of the Celestial Dragons’ power and the roots of modern piracy. To many fans, it feels like Oda is finally lifting the curtain on the “true history” that’s been teased since the series began.
From Awe to Amusement — The Coloring Discourse
While fans continue to praise the storytelling, the recent coloring of the Holy Knights sparked heated — and hilarious — debates. Many were surprised by the official choices, prompting countless memes and edits that quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and TikTok. Now, as fans anticipate the inevitable reveal of Rocks D. Xebec’s official design colors, they’ve started joking about what shocking choices might come next. Some imagine Oda giving Rocks an absurd color palette “just to break the internet again,” while others mock-up parody versions featuring neon hues or meme references. The jokes have taken on a life of their own, turning what could’ve been a simple detail into one of the fandom’s funniest ongoing discussions.
Oda’s Storytelling Still Sparks Global Conversation
Despite the lighthearted nature of these jokes, the reactions highlight just how deeply engaged fans remain with One Piece after more than 25 years. Oda’s ability to provoke emotion, discussion, and even laughter from his audience — whether through major revelations or minor artistic choices — speaks to the series’ unmatched cultural impact. The God Valley Arc has reminded the world why One Piece continues to dominate global fandoms: it’s not just a story about pirates, but a living, evolving legend. And as for Rocks D. Xebec’s final color reveal? Fans are ready — whether it shocks them, confuses them, or sparks another meme storm.
