In highly circulated early leaks for Chapter 1164 of One Piece, the shocking claim has emerged that Rocks D. Xebec—once the legendary pirate whose name sent shivers through the seas—begged Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp to kill him before the mysterious power known as Domi Reversi fully consumed his will.
What the Leaks Suggest
According to posts on Reddit and other manga-spoiler forums, the God Valley flashback is entering its most intense phase yet. One user writes:
“Rocks asks Garp and Roger to kill him and the way to do it before he loses control.”
Meanwhile, other outlets have reported that the technique Domi Reversi—used by the enigmatic Imu—has fully flipped Rocks’ loyalties, forcing him into murderous demands and horrifying actions.
The leaks claim that at the height of the clash, Rocks, formerly a man of immense ambition and pride, now pleads for death rather than let his body be the weapon of his enemies. Roger and Garp, caught between duty and compassion, must decide whether to end the legacy of a man who once stood as a peer to them… or watch the legend consume itself.
Why This Matters in the God Valley Arc
The so-called “God Valley Incident” has emerged as arguably the most compelling arc in One Piece to date. It brings together legendary figures—Rocks, Roger, Garp, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido—and the hidden figure of Imu in a universe-shifting battle. Readers are witnessing not just pirate fights, but the foundations of the world’s order being laid bare: the origins of the Celestial Dragons, secret pacts, and betrayals long buried.
In this context, Rocks’ plea represents more than a moment of personal weakness—it may represent the defeat of one era and the shaky rise of another. If the leaks are accurate, the moment he asked to be killed isn’t just about one man but about the end of a legend and the beginning of everything that came after.
Fan Reactions & Speculation
On social media platforms, fans have exploded with excitement, fear and speculation. One common refrain:
“If Rocks is begging Roger and Garp to kill him, then this arc is ending the legends—and we’re returning to the Straw Hats era for a reason.”
Others are divided. Some believe this moment will mark the definitive turning point in the series’ mythos. Others caution that leaks remain unverified—and knowing Eiichiro Oda’s habit of misdirection, they could be red herrings.
Broader Significance in One Piece History
This storyline could have seismic implications:
- Rocks as pawn: If Domi Reversi could turn someone as powerful as Rocks, what chance do ordinary pirates or marines have?
- Roger & Garp’s legacy: Their decision here might explain why Roger later declared the Pirate Era or why Garp reacted the way he did to Luffy’s path.
- A shift from legends to present: With the climax of God Valley, the series may pivot firmly to the current generation—perhaps setting the stage for Luffy’s final saga.
What to Watch For
When Chapter 1164 drops, fans should pay close attention to:
- The panel where Rocks pleads for death—who is present, how it’s framed, and what it reveals about his state of mind.
- The portrayal of Domi Reversi: the visual cues, the cost, and how the power alters Rocks’ body/mind.
- Roger and Garp’s reaction: is it shock, sorrow, hesitation or cold duty? Their expressions may speak volumes.
- Flashback transitions: how this moment ties back to earlier panels (e.g., Roger and Rocks’ rivalry, Imu’s manipulation).
Final Thoughts
If even half of the leaked content for Chapter 1164 is accurate, this could be one of the most haunting, powerful turns in One Piece history. A pirate legend begging his greatest foes to kill him? It’s the kind of tragic poetry that only Oda can craft—a fusion of mythic scale, human loss, and narrative consequence.
For many fans, the God Valley arc isn’t just a flashback—it’s the heart of the series. And if this chapter fulfills the leaks, the era that followed Rocks, Roger and Garp will never look the same again.
