The shocking reveals of Rocks D. Xebec's demonic return and the introduction of Davy Jones in Chapter 1164 force us to look back at the original calamity: the God Valley Incident. Furthermore, they cast a deeply unsettling new light on the series' ultimate antagonist, Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard).
🏝️ The God Valley Incident: A Clash of Gods and Demons
The God Valley Incident, 38 years before the current timeline, was once described as the moment Marine Hero Garp and Pirate King Gol D. Roger formed a temporary, uneasy alliance to defeat Rocks D. Xebec. It ended with Rocks' defeat and the mysterious erasure of God Valley Island from the map.
Chapter 1164's context dramatically shifts this historical event from a legendary pirate-vs-marine fight to a full-blown clash between the World Government's 'Gods' and the Sea's 'Demons':
The Prize: It's heavily implied the initial conflict was over the Celestial Dragons and their slaves who were present on God Valley. Rocks wanted to destroy them and seize their power, threatening the World Government's very foundation.
Imu's Direct Involvement: The key revelation is that Imu was directly involved. Imu's chilling question to Rocks asking if he feared Davy Jones or Joyboy more and the subsequent use of a power called "Domi Reversi" to transform Rocks into a demon suggests the World Government's supreme ruler was on God Valley to ensure Rocks' utter destruction, not just his defeat.
The Cost of Victory: Garp and Roger didn't just fight a formidable pirate; they fought a demonic entity under the control of Imu. The alliance was a necessary evil to stop what was essentially a world-ending threat. The disappearance of the island itself may be a direct result of the immense, reality-shattering powers used by Imu, the demonic Rocks, or the clash of the two legendary pirates.
📝 In essence, God Valley was not a simple pirate battle; it was the first skirmish of the Final War, where the Will of D. (Roger) and the power of the World Government (Garp) temporarily aligned to seal away a demonic threat created by Imu and/or Davy Jones.
The Shadow of Blackbeard: Inherited Will, Inherited Destiny
The new lore surrounding Rocks D. Xebec and Davy Jones makes Marshall D. Teach's motivations and enigmatic characteristics clearer than ever.
| Connection Point | Old Theory (Inherited Will) | New Theory (Chapter 1164's Lore) |
| Rocks' Name/Ship | Teach idolized Rocks, hence naming his ship the Saber of Xebec. | Speculation intensifies that Teach is Rocks' actual son. The name Marshall D. Teach could be an adopted name to hide his lineage, while his ship's name is a tribute to his father's true will. |
| His Base | Teach took over Hachinosu (Pirate Island) simply because it was a perfect base. | Hachinosu was the original base of the Rocks Pirates. Teach occupying this specific island now looks like a direct effort to literally inherit Rocks' kingdom and legacy. |
| His Ambition | Teach wants to be the Pirate King. | Teach embodies Rocks' absolute, corrupt ambition to rule the world. Rocks' new demonic form the manifestation of his greed is the essence Teach seems to be chasing. |
| The Yami Yami no Mi | Teach found the ultimate Devil Fruit for his dark plot. | If Rocks' demon form is the "Devil of the Sea," the Yami Yami no Mi (Darkness Fruit) could be the closest representation of that abyss in Devil Fruit form. Teach may have sought it because it connects him to the power that cursed or created his father. |
| Multiple Personalities/Fruits | Teach can use two Devil Fruits because of his unique body/lineage. | The theory that Teach hosts multiple souls or bodies to wield two Devil Fruits gains traction. Could one of those "souls" be a fragment of the demonic Rocks transferred before his final defeat, making Teach the vessel for Rocks' ultimate return? |
Conclusion on Blackbeard: The connection is likely more than mere coincidence or admiration. Blackbeard's laughter ("Zeheheh...") already mirrored the whispers attributed to Rocks. Now, his entire life's trajectory from his choice of base to his ultimate ambition and his connection to darkness suggests he is not just the successor to Rocks' will, but possibly the biological or spiritual heir to the demonic curse that now consumes Rocks.
