The chapter unfolds with the aftermath of the God Valley incident. Exhausted, Roger and Garp have given everything in battle against the notorious Rocks. We see Rocks in his vulnerable state, stripped of his power after the Domi Reversi effect wore off. At this critical moment, Garling, Shepherd Sommers, and Satchels Maffey arrive to settle unfinished business.

Earlier, Rocks had easily bested Garling and his allies on this very island. However, lying defeated and unable to retaliate, he became an easy target for Garling. Seizing the moment, Garling unsheathed his sword, effectively ending the life of Rocks D. Xebec. Yes, you read that right—Garling is revealed as the killer of Rocks in this unraveling story.

In his final moments, Rocks expressed gratitude towards Roger and Garp, showing a rare glimpse of vulnerability from the feared pirate. Meanwhile, both Roger and Garp were unconscious, unable to intervene. It’s a heartbreaking end for a man who, despite his villainy, stirred both fear and respect.

Shortly after this tragic turn of events, Rayleigh and Gaban, the loyal wings of the Pirate King, arrived just in time to save Roger and Garp. When Roger inquired about Rocks, Rayleigh confirmed the shocking news that Rocks had already been slain.

Isn’t it intriguing how the legacy of characters in One Piece interweaves with monumental moments like this? Readers are left pondering the moral complexities of power, loyalty, and betrayal.

Who else might have been involved in Rocks D. Xebec’s demise? While Garling played a decisive role, the story’s depth suggests multiple layers of conflict and motives would continue to unravel. Only time will tell how these histories will shape the future battles and legacies in One Piece.
