[@prashantpurohit4408]

Hello, some thoughts came into my mind, It is said that devil fruits are the actually the desires of the people, So that means nika fruit is the desire of joyboy, he had a desire that he would return in 800 years, and when he returned as luffy, that nika fruit(being a zoan fruit) chose luffy cuz he knew he is joyboy. also, that's why shanks believe in luffy, despite knowing that he is goofy, he knew that luffy is destined to defeat the government. But one thing makes me think In marinford, shanks said thanks to Coby for saving the luffy for "Better or worse", i don't know why? You h

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Well maybe the Nika Fruit senses Luffy’s free will and free spirited nature and was drawn to it. Maybe it’s destined to be eaten by a pirate and evades marines and WG because of this

I think shiki is the third strongest as the movie did him no justice, but he could fight prime garp and sengoku destroying alf of marineford in the process. I believe he is close to whitebeard level, Not to mention he can just make 30 islands float and drop them on people so his df is god teir.

Blackbeard has Rocks D Xebec devil fruit that's why he killed a crew member to obtain it he also lives on Rocks old territory and his jolly roger is similar to the Rocks Pirates..Blackbeard is connected to someone from the Rocks pirates that's why he embodies that whole temperament

[@SunDogGod]

His ship is also called Xebec’s Saber

[@AnonymousEnigma19]

I stick to the theory that Rocks D. Xerbec is Luffy's grunkle (great-uncle), and I'd picture Xerbec with Monkey D. Dragon's hair, the face of a 4th gear snakeman Luffy, a red shirt like Luffy's only with longer sleeves, a black coat draped over his shoulders, rolled up jeans and like Luffy sandals, that's how I picture Xerbec, he's a master of all 3 forms of Haki, and he does have the human human fruit model Nika what he barely uses until that fateful God valley incident, and like Luffy he's a hand-to-hand combatant, that's how I picture him.

It is prophecy that joyboy will return after 800 years,, and the prophecy is too exact. Cuz roger pirates exactly knew which year he will come. So rocks can't be Joboy, also, he had an ambition of being the king of the world which doesn't suit to the character of either luffy or joyboy

Kaido got the devil fruit immediately after the God Valley incident because Big Mom gave it to him to save his life since he was gravely injured

[@ZeroOne46]

Great! Video. There's definitely a possibility of you being dead on about Rocks. Right now, though, I think I'm more sold on the idea that Rocks was more like a Usopp type of a character, but also more than that. I think he was also like Buggy, but also more than that. I think he was also like Blackbeard. Essentially, I think Rocks had the 3 different personalities, just like Blackbeard has. He may not even have been that strong, but I think like Usopp, he had strong observation haki and was able to see into the future and because of this knowledge of what's going to happen, he was able to bluff his way out of direct confrontation with others. Also, if someone tried to sneak on him, he'd have known, called it out, and the Blackbeard persona would come out and that darkness would be felt, causing the attacker to retreat. I also think it was his observation haki that allowed him to see Imu on the throne, along with the threat she represented. Just like Usopp would've been, Rocks became irrational because of the shock. He probably tried to talk about it, and his words made others think HE wanted to sit on the empty throne. Nobody could see what he was seeing, just like how Usopp predicts the future, but it sounds crazy to those hearing him because they don't see the visions he sees. I believe Rocks may have operated in a similar realm. I think because he was like Buggy, in that he often spoke of ruling everything, and then mentioning words like, "sitting on the empty throne," made everyone misunderstand what he was trying to get across. So, essentially, he recruited those heavy powers through bluffs and also through their perceptions of him when they see other strong people with him. And the strong guys will argue for him and why the new strong guy should join. He was probably very charismatic, like Buggy or Blackbeard. God Valley is pretty much synonymous with Rocks, and i think this is linking to "God Usopp," or even a God Buggy ( could totally see that one happening). I think Rock's entire reputation may have been a misrepresentation. He may have also intigated chaos on his ship to keep everyone busy so he's not found out and to keep everyone sharp, which probably was more of a consequence of the former.

[@deltanotxtreme4775]

But he was rogers strongest rival

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

I don’t think it makes sense for Rocks to be like Usopp or Buggy from a power perspective. We know Kaido only respects people who are strong. And he compared Rocks to Luffy on the roof top in the same group as Roger, Wb, and Shanks too

[@GalaxyCatPlays]

So If it's true that Shanks is Rocks Son no wonder he's so powerful I'd image that shanks mother was also very strong so she won't be destroyed by Rocks haki when creating shanks. Also I'd image Rocks loved strong women. 2 monsters making one baby. No wonder shanks is so powerful 😮

And Oda loves his parallels, buggy was luffy's first enemy to actually give him some trouble.

Depends if Roger was in his Prime. Also Kaido probably had better haki at that time than Kid. And Kaido is a better fighter with better fighting instincts than Kid. Plus Kid was using a fully charged awakened attack so he didn’t have time (even if he could) to avoid or guard against shanks attack. Essentially Kid was wide open focusing all his energy and focus on his attack which is why he got so easily one shotted So idk if Kaido would get necessarily one shotted

@@MARSHALLDPREACHwhen God valley incident happened, roger was at the age of 37-40 years, and it it's said by sengoku that roger fought his strongest opponent till date, that means rocks surpassed even prime whitebeard and garp, and when we think about it, they wouldn't be able to defeat the rocks pirates if garp, roger, Rayleigh, one of them wouldnt be in prime, and i think, garp and Roger was always at same level so maybe, they wouldn't be in prime, but still strong enough at the level of shanks maybe,, and if i think, mihawk And shanks can still one shot Zoro if they want, so I just thought like that Btw, loved to share thoughts

I believe rocks had the chop chop fruit.

U can even compare their bounty posters to see how similar they are. Also buggy is more fit to be the parallel of rocks cuz if luffy is the parallel of roger then rocks being rogers first enemy/rival makes buggy who is also Luffy’s first enemy/rival rocks parallel. It just makes sense guys it just does.

Rocks having a devil fruit would have been mentioned at some point. So again, i think he had advanced haki. but either way, this is all my opinion. I really hope Oda doesn't just do the lazy copout and just has Rocks have the darkness fruit with nothing else attached. its his story I know but cmon...he's built this mysterious guy up for so long being the most infamous and most dangerous to the point they had to WIPE HIM OUT of history.

That's why none of the newer generation pirates know of this.. just Garp, Sengoku, etc.. those wo were there themselves.. and also Roger. He decided to turn himself in to pass on the will of D. because Xebec couldn't achive that.. Xebec was incredibly strong but underestimated the insane power of the World Government.. Imu and the Five Elders erased them and then twisted history in a way, that everybody thinks it was Garp winning and now theres only myths about that crew.. myths that tell, that they fought each other to death.. but it was merely people from outside spreading stories because they once saw them clash.. just like zoro and sanji do..

There is definitely propaganda from the government re: Xebek. The way he's shown to us, as the shadowed figure of a madman, but only in shadow, portrays what the citizens of the world see -- a very dangerous myth of a man, the personification of evil. Xebek, as the person himself, is as unknown as Imu. He has been turned into a symbol of "the evil pirate," an archetype for the government to use to manipulate the minds of the masses. The rulers of this world are very experienced and adept at this game, just as we see re: people such as Robin and Monkey D. Dragon. Because Xebek is portrayed as he is by the government, I suspect he was not what they say he was. Could he even have been a good man? After all, Whitebeard was on his crew. I don't see Whitebeard as someone who would follow a captain who was morally corrupt. I could see pirates like Big Mom or Kaido following a captain like that, but Whitebeard doesn't fit that image. We have no way to know what is true and what is a lie.

Although many would speculate Mihawk wouldn't win against any of the former Yonko's, WhiteBeard, Big Mom, Kaidou, Shanks. Spoiler below from manga One Piece is getting really tense at the moment since so many groups are headed to Egghead.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

I would Argue Mihawk is in that Yonko range. And Zoro has to be stronger than him by the eos so that puts Zoro that Yonko range too. Sanji won’t be that far below. If we consider Luffy will surpass Rocks. I can see a situation where Zoro is at least as strong and maybe stronger than WB since that wasn’t WB’s prime until years after God Valley. We also don’t know if any others strong members will join, but if they do that boosts the strawhats even more. It will be close but I think Luffy will be absurdly powerful so he might carry

[@GoldenPiggy56]

Mihawk has to be stronger then most yonkos. He is/was stronger then shanks. If they both used to compete for the title of strongest swordsman in the world, when shanks has both arms. The second he found out he lost it he didn’t even see him as a challenge anymore. Think about it, not thinking a yonko is a worthy opponent

[@omarwright1650]

You think post god valley kaido is anything to help whitbeard reach his prime

[@TheturtlesageWill]

I need to understand why big mom is over kaido

[@anna_medeia]

Because Big Mom was closer to her prime back then than Kaido who was like the Ace of that crew.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Kaido was too young, Big Mom was close to her prime. Kaido was in his early 20s that’s why I compared him to a current Zoro

[@incognito-lc6in]

If gato or roger where not in the anime xebec would take over the world.

[@BinaryDood]

i think rox should be the original user of the dark dark fruit

[@niccolobanini7190]

Shilki is on the same level of roger and whiteboard. He won against roger, if it wasn't for the storm...

[@kevinthomas7259]

Did oda confirm Rocks DF or if he had one?

[@E538-b6p]

Why do you think that WB was only at his prime past God valley? Where was this stated.

[@dkw9]

Rocks had a devil fruit kaido would have said Rodger and rocks also it wouldn't make sense to have black beards fruit if luffy fruit was lost for 100s of years

[@johnsharod]

Great video, but I still think Rocks is a fraud who was able to tap into the will of the strongest pirates to convince them to combine their strength

[@mateuszciecieowski2626]

Btw Shakky has to be a rocks pirate too.

[@jquanclarke1049]

did you really say luffy crew will get stronger the rocks crew in strenght ???!!!!!!!! are you kidding thats impossible ...

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

I think it’s possible

[@BackUp-g2w]

Bro please... forget about bogard flopgard or whatever his name is, he's not even bartolomeo level. He didn't do anything in Beehive island for Garp, it's clear now...

[@BackUp-g2w]

That guy isn't even Smoker level and i think even Tashigi could put on a fight against him...

[@MrKaptainWEST]

The world should have more of that talk shit get hit mentality 💯

[@akraminalom8714]

Rocks have sun god nika fruit

[@omarwright1650]

And who tell you wb was the first commander to rix even tho its most likely

[@Mafiadezzy]

Who was the vice captain of rocks

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Whitebeard IMO. Most mature, level headed, tactical and most likely the strongest after Rocks

[@Mafiadezzy]

Probably osuro

[@Mafiadezzy]

Well yeah but I don’t think he was vice captain either the golden lion or osru I’m pretty sure white bread was 3rd in ranking Oder

[@Mafiadezzy]

BUGGY IS THE SON OF ROCKS

[@MajinKrow]

Gaban low diffed Whitebeard at God Valley SMH

[@Vihaan8888]

I think wb betrayed rocks and big mom and kaido may have ran away

[@exocetshimwanga5107]

well not really i would say shinki was the third strongest because as it stated in episode zero he also was a rival of roger he even had the chanse to win the wawes war if he fleet did not get washed away now he alone went against the entire mrine ford force battle 1 v 2 against sengoku and garp, to mantion in their prime and the same garp who was also a rival of roger yet manage to destroy half of marine ford that speaks volume , sure big mom was a disaster and as a kid defeated gints but we have to agree on them giants are not that big deal agains the strongest so shinki was 3 strongest without debate

[@nasimskmain9860]

I think Rocks and Buggy are Parallel 💀 like Roger and Luffy.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

What is the parallels?

[@zoro1967]

EOS Luffy will be stronger than Rocks d Xebec

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Yes 👍

[@mr.d2124]

I think shiki was no 3 in Rocks crew...

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

Fair enough. I can see that 👍

[@santanusantra3557]

is this possible that imu is luffy's mom? i mean if ifu died 800 years ago but she/he planned that his/her memory card (pudding df) gave to the gorosei and tell them toh implant his/her memory to a powerful women (luffy mom) 😂.

[@spence4346]

Well obviously they are the most stacked lol

[@manashsaikia3375]

Stussy stronger than Lucci ? First time watching your video and it will be the last time ....she said herself she can't beat them without sneak attack

[@romanhines386]

Rocks method killed off the weak in his crew

[@JT-km6th]

Nah i disagree, primes gave been shown to be from about 40 - 70, all Rocks members wouldve been too young, also they nay not have had dfs.

[@GhostRider006]

I think that prime whitebeard(after godvalley) was stronger than xebec Or anyone in the one piece world except imu

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

I can see it

[@sausage5033]

3:00 - 3:05 is it just me or does that animation look different and weird af

[@samjohnson609]

14:49 you saying garp stronger than roger?? Rocks>Roger=prime Whitebeard> prime Garp>prime Sengoku =prime big mom IMO.

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

I’m saying Garp was probably stronger at that time. Eventually Roger and Whitebeard would have surpassed Garp

[@samjohnson609]

@@MARSHALLDPREACH ahh ok fair.

[@samjohnson609]

@@MARSHALLDPREACH curious why do you say that? Is garp older/ did he join marines before roger became a pirate?

Whitbeard was not the 5 stronges bukinham,john,ochoku,axe and the unknow shaky like member was stronger than kaido
