🔥 One Piece Chapter 1162 is almost here! The God Valley flashback has quickly become one of the most pivotal storylines in One Piece, offering long-awaited answers about the past while setting up emotional and action-packed moments that could reshape the series’ future. With Chapter 1162 on the horizon, fan speculation is at an all-time high. From tragic character fates to high-stakes confrontations and game-changing lore reveals, the next installment promises to be a major turning point in Eiichiro Oda’s epic saga. A major focus of upcoming events is expected to center on Saint Garling Figarland, the enigmatic leader of the God Knights. Since last appearing to rally his forces, Garling has been notably absent amid the ongoing chaos. Fans believe Chapter 1162 will finally reveal his next move possibly continuing his hunt for high-value targets or pursuing a more personal objective that could redefine his character and motives. His actions could also serve as a catalyst for several key plot developments still to come. One of the most anticipated moments involves Rocks D. Xebec and his long-lost wife, Aerys. Given how quickly Ifley was able to locate Shaki, it seems inevitable that Rocks will find Aerys in the heat of battle. However, their reunion may not lead to a happy ending. Many fan theories suggest that Aerys will not survive the God Valley conflict, with her death potentially serving as the emotional spark behind Rocks’ violent rampage. Such a moment could be among the flashback’s most heartbreaking scenes, potentially rivaling some of One Piece’s most memorable tragedies. Another prediction revolves around Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp, two figures whose legendary rivalry has shaped much of the series’ history. While canon confirms Roger’s involvement at God Valley, many theorists believe Garp will actively force Roger to stay and fight rather than leave the battlefield. This confrontation could offer a deeper look into their relationship, showcasing their clashing ideals and mutual respect in a way that enriches their shared legacy. Smer, previously believed to be out of commission due to severe injuries, may also return to the fray. His comeback, even in a weakened state, could shed light on the God Knights’ mysterious regenerative powers and hint that Conqueror’s Haki might be the key to overcoming them. This revelation could significantly influence battle strategies not just in the flashback, but potentially in the present-day storyline as well. Another intriguing theory suggests that more repeated Devil Fruits could emerge as the arc progresses. Following Captain John’s fruit reveal, fans suspect that characters like Barbell or other God Knights might wield familiar abilities, supporting the idea that Devil Fruits reincarnate after their users die. This cyclical nature of powers already exemplified by Ace inheriting the Flame-Flame Fruit adds a compelling layer to the series’ lore and could tie directly into the long-teased treasure chests at God Valley. Many expect those chests to finally be opened in Chapter 1162, possibly granting new powers to unexpected characters. A clash between Garling and Whitebeard is also one of the most highly anticipated possibilities. With Whitebeard no longer engaged in battle against Roger, Garling appears to be the most likely opponent. Such a fight would not only elevate Garling’s status as a major threat but also provide a deeper look into the God Knights’ true strength. Some fans even speculate that Garling’s striking resemblance to Shanks may hint at a deeper connection that could be explored through this confrontation. While the death of a God Knight seems inevitable, many believe it may still be too soon for such a development. Their regenerative powers make them difficult to kill, but the groundwork is being laid for at least one to fall before the arc concludes. This eventual loss could mark a turning point in the balance of power, signaling the decline of the once-unstoppable God Knights. Overall, the predictions for Chapter 1162 suggest a story that blends high-stakes action with emotional weight and deep world-building. Garling’s next move could reshape the conflict, Rocks and Aerys’ storyline may deliver a devastating emotional blow, and the long-awaited reveal of the Devil Fruit treasure chests could redefine the mechanics of power in One Piece. The God Valley flashback continues to answer long-standing mysteries while raising new questions about the series’ history and Chapter 1162 may be the chapter that changes everything.

Rob Lucci

Originally, he was introduced as part of CP9, as the assassin unit's strongest member in history. Operating undercover to obtain the Pluton blueprints from Iceburg, he worked as a sawyer, treenail, and bolt specialist for the Galley-La Company's Dock One in Water 7. After his defeat by Monkey D. Luffy at Enies Lobby, Lucci was dismissed from CP9 by Spandam, who declared him and the other assassins responsible for the Straw Hats' havoc on Enies Lobby. However, within the next two years, he managed to be reinstated into Cipher Pol as part of CP0, this time as Spandam's superior. He is the main antagonist of the Water 7 Arc, one of the two main antagonists of the Enies Lobby Arc, along with Spandam, and the main antagonist of the Egghead Arc. He also is one of the central characters from CP9's Independent Report Cover Page Serial, along with the rest of the CP9 members.

 

Cipher Pol Aegis Rob Lucci

Lucci bases his outlook on justice on his personal philosophy that any person or thing that goes against the World Government's interests should be destroyed, but is also evil for being that way. Specifically, he has declared to serve a "Dark Justice", his motto being "Necessary Evil". In combat, he is a very sadistic and violent fighter, and also seems to derive amusement and gratification from inflicting physical and emotional pain on others, making him a typical sadist. These scenes, along with when he anticipates battle, are the only times where he is genuinely happy. In the Tower of Justice at Enies Lobby, he revealed that he only joined the World Government so he could be legally allowed to kill people. An example of Lucci's lust for violence is when he compromised the mission of bringing Robin to the Gates of Justice, by allowing Monkey D. Luffy to tail him for the sole purpose of having a battle, smirking when Luffy burst through the door. Lucci's violent and cruel nature is also shown when he goes into full-beast mode during battle, in order to attack Luffy more violently.[34] Another example of his sadism is when Lucci flooded the underwater passageway to the Gates of Justice in an attempt to kill the Straw Hat crew members in the passageway, because he wanted to eliminate Luffy's chances of having everything, just to anger him. He has a habit of demoralizing and taunting his opponents, which is seen when he taunted Luffy about the possibility of him killing Nico Robin. While in his full beast form, he acts more like a bloodthirsty animal, as seen when he mauled Luffy. Like Jabra, Lucci is prone to licking his lips, showing a more animalistic side to his transformation. Despite all this apparent lack of morality, he has displayed some, if very little, sympathy for those he dubs innocent. When the Candy Pirates were attacking a small village, he quickly dispatched the captain to save the people, though his demonstration of Absolute Justice later prompts him and his comrades to leave. This shows that deep down, he is not completely heartless and is more honorable to the people he respects. Likewise, he shows concern for his pet pigeon Hattori, sending him away when in dangerous situations. Lastly, he expressed gratitude to the doctor who saved his life after his clash with Luffy on Enies Lobby. After the timeskip, Lucci's personality has largely stayed the same, as he disregarded Saint Charlos' attempts to claim Shirahoshi as a slave during the Levely. He maintains that the Celestial Dragons are divine and have the right to obtain what they want from normal humans. He also continues to enjoy the prospect of causing bloodshed, as seen with his smirk at the order to kill Neptune when the latter tried to prevent his daughter's abduction. 

 

Abilities and Powers

Rokushiki

Lucci has the greatest mastery of Rokushiki within CP9, having developed more powerful variations from each of the different forms. Being able to skillfully use Soru and Shigan against 500 soldiers, he fatally pierced his armor along with their bodies; he also used Tekkai to break two swords effortlessly. By adulthood, Lucci's extraordinary skill in Rokushiki, combined with his Devil Fruit powers, allowed him to use improved variations of the martial art, such as Rankyaku: Gaicho, which could cleave through the iron hull of a Marine battleship, and Tobu Shigan: Bachi, which could pierce Luffy's rubber body with mere flicks of compressed air. In his hybrid form, a simple Rankyaku was enough to slice through the Galley-La Headquarters and cause most of the building to collapse. His high skill in Tekkai allowed him to casually block an attack from Roronora Zoro, a swordsman that can easily slice steel. Indeed, Franky's Strong Hammer, which sent his fellow CP9 agent Fukuro flying through two walls, despite his use of Tekkai, failed to make Lucci budge an inch, as the assassin's Doriki was five times his. Most notably, he used the Rokushiki hidden technique, Rokuogan, during his fight with Luffy. The massively powerful technique was so strong that it caused severe internal injury to Luffy's body, who described its effect as an Impact Dial with greatly amplified power, which is no small feat, considering that he is made of rubber. With his complete mastery of Rokushiki, in conjunction with his Devil Fruit ability, Lucci proved to be a tremendously resilient and formidable foe, fighting on equal footing with Luffy in Gear 2, even being slightly superior, forcing Luffy to use Gear 3 to weaken him and in the end use all his forces against him.


Devil Fruit

Rob Lucci ate the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit which allows him to transform into a full leopard, a bulky leopard-human hybrid and, by using Seimei Kikan, a slender leopard-human hybrid. As Zoan class Devil Fruits enhance physical capabilities the most, it is most favored by martial artists like Lucci, who is able to integrate the unique traits of his Devil Fruit, such as claws and stronger legs, to greatly enhance the effects of his techniques. Also, being a carnivorous animal, Lucci is more bloodthirsty and predatory than a regular Zoan class user, proven when he mauled Luffy as an actual leopard.


Seimei Kikan

It has been revealed that Lucci can perform Seimei Kikan, like Kumadori, and use it to alter his body into forms that amplify his skills in a specific Rokushiki ability. However, only the Kami-e Form, which makes his man-beast form smaller and thinner, more like an average man-size, has been seen.
 

Haki

Busoshoku Haki

Lucci possesses the ability to use Busoshoku Haki, though he has not yet been seen using it in the manga. In One Piece Film: Gold, however, he was seen hardening his arm while fighting Sabo.
 

Kenbunshoku Haki

Lucci possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki.
