After weeks of anticipation during the break, One Piece chapter 1158 dropped this weekend, taking fans on an exhilarating journey through the Rocks era. This chapter unveils much about the God Valley, a long-awaited setting in the series. If you’re eager to dive into the histories of Roger, Rocks, and more, here’s a concise recap of the significant events from chapter 1158.
Shakky’s Love Letter to Rayleigh
The chapter begins with Roger and Rayleigh discussing a love letter left by Shakky. She’s invited Rayleigh to Hachinosu for a marriage proposal, prompting their crew to set sail with Roger’s approval. However, a twist awaits as Rocks D. Xebec has shifted his affections, having met Blackbeard’s mother.
In Hachinosu, the camaraderie between Roger and Rocks surfaces, revealing them as fierce rivals rather than bitter enemies. Notably, fighting is off-limits in Shakky’s bar, where good-natured banter prevails. Amidst the revelry, Shakky curiously inquired about Rayleigh, who opted to rest on the ship instead of joining the festivities.
Garling’s Unexpected Discovery in God Valley
Next, we shift to a younger Figarland Garling meeting with the Five Elders at Mary Geoise, revealing a significant discovery he made in God Valley during an assignment for the World Government. Garling hinted that this island harbors something monumental that would greatly please Imu. His push for the next Native Hunting Competition at God Valley has fans speculating on a possible connection to Uranus, an Ancient Weapon that remains a mystery.
Rocks Vs. King Harald: A Clash of Titans
We then witness a tense confrontation between Rocks and his old friend King Harald in Elbaf. This isn’t a friendly chat; it escalates into a fierce battle driven by opposing views on the World Government. While Rocks holds the title of the strongest in that era, King Harald fiercely confronts him. Both characters express their disdain for the Celestial Dragons, with Rocks vehemently criticizing them. However, Harald aims to change the perception of giants and unify their nations, leading to a fracture in their friendship. The narrative hints at fate reuniting them during the God Valley Incident.
Birth of Shanks and Shamrock
Finally, we step back in time to a crucial moment, 39 years ago, just before the God Valley incident. It’s revealed that Shanks is indeed the twin son of Garling. Contrary to earlier assumptions surrounding his mother being a Celestial Dragon, Oda suggests that Shanks and Shamrock’s mother comes from the God Valley. This figure must have been influential among the island’s inhabitants, as they hoped for a future where her children would inherit her greatness. The chapter closes with confirmation that it was Shanks’ mother who named the twins, debunking previous theories regarding their names.
The anticipation for the full God Valley flashback is palpable, as fans eagerly await the most infamous incident in One Piece history. Chapter 1158 sets a solid foundation, intricately weaving in critical characters and events leading up to this historical moment. What are your thoughts on this latest chapter?
