The Best Rocks D. Xebec Theory You'll Ever Watch, I Guess

[@Ohara-the-Fox]

Make sure to check out the base theory on my subreddit and show MrBushido some love: www.reddit.com/r/WildAnimeTheories/comments/w6yi8f/mega_theory_the_monkey_clan/

It's my first time to be this early.

[@benjamind.collette6468]

Hey OHara, I like your theory. You are intelligent and smart to be able to piece this together and it was really good. I wonder what you personally think the one piece is? I recently had a revelation and I think I now understand what the one piece is. It has alot to do with luffys secret dream beyond becoming king of the pirates. I also think this is the reason Roger was laughing at laugh tale. It was a pirate flag that belonged to joy boy from 800 years ago. And it also explains luffys/Rogers absurd dream that they shared together. Roger laughs because he understands in that moment that his dream will indeed come true. He was just too early to see it happen. 🏴‍☠️💪🍖🍻

Also thank you for sharing your videos. Thank you so much!!!

[@Noah-rd8xe]

Haven't watched the entire video yet but my guess is that dragon is rocks and after finding out his goals garp and Roger decided that rocks should change his name to hide his identity. Kinda mirroring what happened with koby, luffy and Sabo where all 3 are parts of different groups but kinda support eachother.

Rocks' devil fruit possibly was the darkness fruit. Blackbeard knew it and recognize it as the strongest fruit to ever exist, the required power to become the strongest man in the world. That smile when he saw the fruit, it terrifies me everytime. Like he certainly sure the world is in the palm of his hand. Because the fruit negate the power of other fruit, Garp assambled a group of people that don't rely on their fruit power to fight. Hence he formed an alliance with Roger

I like to think this theory is also parallel with Luffy,Sabo and Ace childhood adventure.

With all this Portugal X Brasil related theory, I was thinking about all "D." characters we know so far and it seems indeed there is a strong relation to Portugal and maybe Spain, wich were one of the pioneers in the great navigations and imperial expansion all over the world. -Monkey D. Luffy: ODA said himself he would be brazilian. -Portgas D. Ace: portgas looks a lot like Portugal and considering the fact he is luffy's brother and most brazilians descends from portuguese ancestors, that makes this bond between ace and luffy very symbolic. Roger also said to Garp that Rouge was somehow related to his family. -Trafalgar D. Law: there is this cape trafalgar in spain where it happened a War envolving France, england and spain. -Jaguar D. Saul: jaguar is the only big cat found in the Americas, mostly in Brazil and its name comes from the native americans by the way. Native americans whom were mostly colonized by Portugal and Spain. - rocks D. Xebecs: the video already explores his roque brasiliano relation. - the real blackbeard used Madeira (Portugal island) as one of his routes, he took wine from the islands and he had conflicts with spanish navy That could mean nothing, lol. But we all know Oda is crazy about navigation history and a fun fact is that Portugal was probabily the first european country to arrive in Japan. Cheers

It's definitely a compelling theory. Dragon would've been a teenager when Rocks died so I suppose Garp could've taken him in to try and steer him away from his father's path. Hopefully Oda will give us more details on Rocks soon.

[@mrreyes5004]

Honestly, it would be super weird if Oda didn't eventually reveal more about Rocks. So far, his introduction only explained that the modern Yonko, Garp, and Roger shared a past and a huge battle with each other. Considering that Rocks is one of the few characters in the entire series who openly declared war on the World Nobles themselves (i.e. not just breaking the law like other pirates), I believe his legacy will have greater importance for Luffy soon.

[@lukejones4514]

Maybe Rocks left Dragon in Goa when he was a baby

[@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702]

I like to think Garp adopted Dragon before he became a marine. Garp probably did want to be a pirate like Roger and Rocks, except he understood that he wanted more than just freedom: he wanted a family. Roger left sick and didn't expect to have a kid, so at the end of his life he wanted Garp, the only person he trusted that wasn't going to be constantly hunted to take care of his Surprise. Rocks had Dragon, and left to change the world for the better by taking out the corrupt. Garp probably became a Marine to have some freedom and be able to support his own family and Dragon, he probably also went after bounties to show Roger and Rocks that they could also have fame and money without being pirates.

[@pedropaku1777]

Yow! Just want to let you know that the time has come in the manga!. Hahahahahaha!

[@XX369XX]

Gael almost succeeded but the Ohara incident made dragon to fight against the world government

[@JokoeurXXI]

I think it makes sense that Garp became a Marine given where he grew up. The only difference with Luffy is that he met Shanks, which is the real catalyst of him wanting to become a pirate, then meeting Ace and Sabo who both wanted to become pirates as well.

[@slickback17]

From my recollection of the latest episodes with Uta I think luffy already wanted to become a pirate before shanks but met shanks and decided to join his crew then finally accepted he can’t join and to be a pirate king and better pirate and group then shanks. He still didn’t have his dream he told his brothers yet and luffy told Uta he doesn’t know his genesis yet to change the world but he will think of one like Uta’s dream

[@GoatAmv]

Full theory 💯 Sengoku talks about Rocks His name was brought up for the first time in the series by Sengoku when Brannew was revealing the bounties of the Four Emperors or Yonko. The information about the existence of a pirate so fierce shook the entire fanbase as they had assumed that Gol D. Roger was the most feared pirate in the world. According to Sengoku, Rocks' full name was Rocks D. Xebec. After reading his name, the first thing that comes to mind is that he also had the letter "D" in his name like other great pirates such as Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Luffy, Marshall D. Teach, etc. Rocks was the captain of the infamous Rocks Pirates, a pirate group so nefarious that not even the crew members were safe. Rocks existed forty years before the current timeline, and he was considered to be the greatest threat to the authority of the World Government. Who Were The Rocks Pirates? Rocks Pirates from One Piece The Rocks Pirates were incredibly dangerous even to their own friends. They were known for fighting and killing members of their own crew, which hints towards the discontent among the crew. The crew was filled with literal monsters such as Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, Shiki, John, etc. who went on to become popular pirates. With such powerful members, it is quite apparent that a single pirate crew could never dream of taking them down. Thirty-eight years ago, the Rocks Pirates attacked the Celestial Dragons and their slaves on God Valley. The World Government had to take action as they could not afford to turn a blind eye to the attack, so they sent the Marines led by Monkey D. Garp to defeat the Rocks Pirates. However, it was quite obvious that the Navy could not accomplish such a ginormous task on its own and required help to take them down. This led to Garp forming an alliance with Gol D. Roger, which lead to the defeat of the Rocks Pirates. After their captain's death, the Rocks Pirates disbanded and the God Valley mysteriously disappeared, and Garp went on to be named as the "Hero of the Marines." Rocks was arguably the strongest pirate of his generation. It took more than just the Marines to defeat him, which hints that he was a monster. Also, it is important to remember that the Rocks Pirates were known for infighting, and it would take an extremely powerful person to lead them. Kaido placed Rocks among the handful of characters who could actually hurt him in a fight, which makes the latter even more impressive. It is unclear whether Rocks possessed some kind of devil fruit, but it would be plausible to assume that he did. Many theorists have predicted that Rocks possibly had the Goro Goro no Mi, a logia type devil fruit that allows its user to create and manipulate lightning. The devil fruit's power is immense and if used properly it could easily wipe off an entire island. After Rocks' death, the World Government could not get their hands on the Goro Goro no Mi, so they decided to look for a devil fruit that could counter the Goro Goro no Mi. This devil fruit was the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which is why the World Government was protecting the devil fruit, but unfortunately for them, Shanks stole it, and it was later eaten by Luffy. Rocks D. Xebec had a great deal of ambition. He openly proclaimed that he wanted to become the King of the World. This could possibly mean that he wanted to claim the Empty Throne, which is currently occupied by Im. Rocks had a great deal of interest in the secrets that the World Government was keeping hidden from the rest of the world. Rocks D. Xebec had no qualms about killing Celestial Dragons and considering that the World Government sends Admirals to defeat the attacker shows that Rocks was confident in his abilities as a fighter. According to a popular theory, Rocks and Blackbeard might be related in some way because the name of Blackbeard's ship is Saber of Xebec. It could very likely be that Blackbeard might be trying to accomplish the same thing that Rocks couldn't. Despite all his strength, not many people know about Rocks D. Xebec because he was able to uncover several truths about the World Government, so they decided to erase his name from history.

I truly believe that rock's had the most fearsome conquerors haki of all time.

I find very intriguing and I would love for it to be true

[@georgenikolaou8392]

I do indeed believe that Rocks D Xebec is Luffy 's Grandfather but dew to other circumstances. I believe that During the God Valley incident where Garp and Roger defeated Rocks, that's where Garp found Rocks' son, Dragon. He decided (like Odin decided with Loki) to save the young boy and bring him into his family, where he did indeed meet with Luffy's mother and fell in love. This is what made Roger entrust his son to Garp. The fact that he saw that happening once before!

[@l.a6273]

Can't be they said shanks was found at the God valley incident in a treasure chest

[@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702]

I see it more like Roger left to become a pirate because he was dying and didn't expect to have a family. Rocks had Dragon, and became a pirate so he can change the world into a better place for his son. Garp wanted to be a pirate, but seeing Rocks leave Dragon, adopted Dragon and became a Marine so Garp can have some freedom while also being able to have a family. Garp probably gained fame and fortune by also taking bounties: so Roger& Rocks can also become Marines. When Roger found out he was going to be a dad but was too sick, he trusted the only person he knew that wouldn't be hunted: Garp, the man that sacrificed total freedom for a family. Garp now having both the sons of his best friends, felt like he had no choice but to tell them when they became old enough to understand: Dragon is the son of a man who tried to change the world and Ace is the son of the most free man in the world. Of coarse, things didn't go as planned, but he still sees them as his family, and was even fighting with himself when one became The Most Wanted and the other getting executed

[@SunBearDabs]

That’s what I was also thinking

[@abhijith6589]

Been saying this for a while. This makes sense and interesting. Also Luffy is from the Monkey family and he has a lot of Monkey parallels. In chinese mythology the Monkey king Sun Wukong was born from a "Stone". Stone = rock interchangable. Then it makes sense🤔

[@boodahoncho4598]

I like to think Rocks was like a big brother to them…. He trained them but when rocks started to go crazy Rodger & Garp went on their respective routes…. So God Valley was about burying a evil they left unchecked in a way

[@ButteryAftertaste]

So basically, Roger, Garp, and Rocks are like a negative version of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, in that rather than their bond strengthening with age and time, it actually breaks down and rots over time. If true that's a cool idea.

[@seeker38]

Any vague physical resemblance, especially for a character who has only appeared as a silhouette, is especially irrelevant in a series that has repeatedly changed designs after silhouettes were first shown of them and where physical resemblance is often more connected to will than bloodline. Good example being Nami looking very similar to Bellemere despite only being raised by her.

[@bigboyfinesse8310]

Lol what ? Bellemere ? She looks NOTHING like nami. If you think she looks like nami then you can count in literally 95% of the females since oda has the same „cute girl“ face with different eye pallet and hair style. rebecca looks like nami, vivi looks like nami, Shirahoshi looks like nami lol. It’s just the art style. Also silhouette actually were changed very rarely, in fact only two cases i know of right now are kaido, and greenbull. Maybe bigmom but she looked just like i imagined here before we saw her actual design, so the silhouette was pretty close. Also i think kaidos first design was only changed because oda was unsure about him back then. There is no way in hell oda finalized an exact look for kaidos look 900 chapters prior to his initial appearance lol. Xebec is a character mentioned and shown only recently and op is going near its end at this point, most of the story and the characters are revealed. Xebecs design will be pretty close 100%

[@mariopellegrino3702]

I'm fucking sure that Oda saw this video and thought "FUCK IT I'M GONNA MAKE GARP TALK ABOUT DRAGON AS HIS SON" and add the "DAAAAMN MY SON JUST BECAME THE N1 IN THE FUCKING REVOLUTIONARY ARMY" scene in the last chapter just to discredit one of the most beautiful and clever theory i've ever seen.

I've been saying rocks and garp are both his grandpa's for years. I got laughed at for years for saying this. If true luffy grandfather's are Ying and yang. I believe that it's the opposite way that you think because garp is shown as good but technically evil because he does what the celestial dragons will. Then xebec is shown as evil for going against the celestial dragons but was actually good that's why garp hates the celestial dragons so much.

If Rocks was Luffy's grandfather, it would easily tie into the theory about Luffy's dream! My favorite theory in regards to his dream, is that Luffy's OVERALL dream is to be KING OF THE WORLD, and if the connection to Rocks is revealed to be true then that would make me view Rocks differently. Aso, I think wanting to be king of the world isn't a bad thing. Just look at some of the dreams Rocks' former crew members had. All of them come from a good place but are executed terribly. Similar to Rocks doing a terrible job at becoming the king of the world, Big Mom wanted a world with no discrimination, Whitebeard wanted a family but that family just so happened to be pirates, etc. I think Roger also had this dream but since Rocks was a contender to that dream, Roger sought an opportunity and decided to help during the God Valley incident.

Monkeys and Rocks also have significant connection in East Asian culture as the Monkey King Wukong from the Journey to the West classic was supposedly (re)born from a rock mountain, so that checks out too 👀

[@NekMinuteG]

Rocks has the potential to be one of the best characters in the verse, I imagine him with the voice of all things, all 3 haki mastered and a devil fruit worthy of Imu to take for itself, also a mix of Good and evil so he could be carefree, not necessarily evil. but both could also work, If Rocks has been painted as a monster but was actually just misunderstood. a carefree person about freedom realises there is a ruler and the world has no freedom then his path to peace could have been to gain the strongest onthe seas, commit money making schemes and Turn the world upside down. this is all you need to attain true influence and power on the seas. Oda is showing us this through Cross guilds, history repeats itself. Each Era has a prominent figure that blasts thru the coverage of the WG Joyboy (Void century of Dusk) Nolan (Restricted Era/Controlled) Rocks (Era of Legend) Roger (Golden age) Whitebeard ( Era of Whitebeard) and Now Luffy (Era of the Dawn)

I had to check, but Garp talks like an old dude, not a middle schooler. He said "washi no kodomo no kodomo", not "boku no". I don't have easy access to the manga in Japanese, but, in the anime, it was about 9m 30s into Episode 324.

[@imadrummer11]

I love this theory its giving me a stong vibe on why garp wanted luffy to be a marine and not a pirate. if his grandfather was rocks its almost like garp knew how he would turn out. also makes me wonder if garp knows the true history from roger and maybe thats why he doesnt rank up and become an admiral

[@MHMKid]

Yeah man, Xebec could potentially be Garp childhood friends before he entered the Marines. Like Luffy and Coby.

[@JFN2760]

This is a really interesting theory. With how particular Oda Sensei is with his phrasing, Garp not calling Dragon his son definitely feels like it's hinting at something. Not to mention the silhouette of Rocks looks way to similar to my boy Rockstar.....I um-I mean Dragon. Not to mention Dragon doesn't really look that much like Garp, unlike Luffy who's the spiting image of his grandpa. Until Luffy goes gear 4. Then he looks remarkably similar to his father and even the silhouette of Rocks. Now Garp being a pirate similar to Luffy before becoming a marine makes alot of sense to me. And if Rocks is Luffy's grandpa too it could add a whole new reason as to why Garp is so against Luffy becoming a pirate. But if Garp joined laye because he was a pirate what about Sengoku? Didn't they join at roughly the same age? It'd be cool if like Coby he was saved from pirates by Garp and they then joined the Marines together. I could also get behind Garp, Roger, and Rocks being friends or even drinking from the sake cups and becoming brothers. It'd add so much weight to the God Valley flashback. Great video Ohara I really hope this comes true!

This is a mind blowing crazy theory that is both interesting and entertaining to think about, but I have another idea. Ik this is a bit of a stretch but you know Outlook, Sabo's dad, what if Outlook was a son of Rocks like dragon just after being disappointed deeply in Outlook, Rocks somehow erased Outlook's memories and named him Outlook III just so nobody would get suspicious of Outlook's father. After all this would truly mean that ace Sabo and Luffy are relatives to roger rocks and Garp. Ik this is a bit of a stretch but it's fun to think about.

I keep thinking why the joyboy reveal happened now and not at the end of the story. Just something that keeps running through my mind. Love your videos btw.

[@murabula2092]

Teach witness Luffy ascension. He was with him in Jaya, Impel Down and he was reacting to the fact Luffy is being called Emperor. Teach had defeated WB, Marco and claimed territories. Compare this to Luffy who barely escaped Linlin. It was well within him to say, it was way to early to say Luffy was an Emperor. He hadn't brought one down or shifted the tides enough for such praise.

[@Braekscg]

I like this a lot. Something I think strengthens the Garp portion of the theory even more is that he seemingly hates being called the hero of the marines moniker, or is at the very least indifferent to it, it brings him no sense of pride; what the marines view as his greatest moment, he views as his worst, and hates being given the constant reminder of taking down his best friend.

If that wasn't obvious already. It will be cool to see the new generation garp and rodger vs rocks.

I feel like for this to be true there has to be some kind of foreshadowing/parallels between ASL and this new trio. Maybe one member from each trio parallels the other? What if we applied the the two sides to the same coin concept from Yuderon? Ace was like Roger as a kid and wanted to go on adventures and be free. I'm not sure how this two sides to the same coin concept would work here aside from the fact that one was the father and the other was the son. Sabo was like Garp since Sabo saw the injustices and prejudice of the nobles firsthand and wanted to make a difference in the world. Potentially, Garp saw similar things happening but it was pirates and not the nobles that were doing nasty things. Garp then went to the Marines to bring justice against the pirates (and anyone that would threaten the WG) and Sabo would then go to the Revolutionary Army to bring down the WG and the nobles (which could also mean the Marines in the same process). The two sides to the same coin concept here would be that both wanted to bring justice, however, they were on opposing sides. This then leaves Luffy somehow being like Rocks. The two sides to the same coin concept here, however, is that Rocks became pure evil and Luffy became pure good. There must be some kind of experience that Luffy had that Rocks had as well (similar to that of Sabo and Garp having similar experiences). The only difference is that Luffy went on to become good from that experience and Rocks went on to become evil.

Why did Roger ask garp to take care of his son and not one of his crewmates? His crewmates were all wanted members of one of the most infamous pirate gangs of all time. He figured is a lot less chance my son's going to die living with a navy man than with notorious pirates who are being hunted by the Navy and the fact that they fought together against an enemy bonding them in a way that most people aren't bonded it kind of trust and respect you earned from that

this theory wont make sense. according to timeline, Rocks was a Major Name, before even Roger was a Rookie. it was like Rocks was the Roger of his era and roger was luffy.

This video sparked an idea in me that now seems super obvious: Garp is the leader of sword. After you asked why would someone like him join the marines, this is one way to explain it. That's why he never held a major position (admiral, fleet admiral) within the marines, because he is already leading sword. Also Coby and Helmeppo being in sword after Garp taking them in kinda hints at it.

Good video. In the past, I once believed that Dragon's actually the son of Rocks D Xebec, which would not only be a potential reason why he wants to oppose the world nobles, but probably why he & Garp don't get along. And if this was true, I could even think that this connection could make Luffy the Zuko of the One Piece series since he too had 2 famous relatives. However, after reading chapter 1059, I have a different theory where Luffy's mom was actually the former ruler of Amazon Lily after Shakky, and before Hancock, which could pretty much give us a good explanation on why Luffy was sent there by Kuma (who knew his ties to Dragon before MF). But might slightly debunk this Rocks theory unless Oda has a way to fit that in with this former Kuja queen theory. Anyway, this is just my thoughts & opinions, I just wanted to know what you think?

[@SlashinatorZ]

Just came up with the huge theory that Rocks Xebec was the previous user of Vegapunk's brain brain fruit! The timing adds up as we can assume Vegapunk ate the fruit shortly after the God Valley incident & Xebec's death. For one, Xebec has a huge head of hair in his silouettes which could be hiding his elongated skull. And if you think of what a user of that fruit could learn if they were a naturally strong warrior, it would explain everything! With the brain brain fruit, Xebec could quickly learn & master all these forms of martial arts within little time. He could have gone dojo to dojo & quickly memorized everything. He could have the sword skills of Mihawk, Haki of Rayleigh, culinary & kickboxing skills of Zeff, strategy of Beckman, cp9 powers, etc. Hell he could learn & master every role on a pirate ship too. He could've learned the ship building skills of Tom, the navigation skills of Nami, the culinary skills of Zeff, the doctor knowledge of Kureia, each taking less than a month to learn. He may have played dumb to not let his trainers know how smart he is otherwise they'd be creeped out by how fast he learned their crafts. Being the most smart well-rounded captain of all-time would explain why he had a powerful pirate crew filled with brutes like Whitebeard, Kaido, & Big Mom who didn't have many skills outside of brawling. He could have literally been their cook, doctor, Navigator, shipwright, strategist etc all-in-one. Mastering all these forms of fighting & strategy would have allowed him to win many Davy Back fights to earn him the strongest crew in the first place. On top of that he could have discovered a form of Haki that allowed him to cancel the weakness of ocean water & sea prism stone, making it appear that he was not a DF user. That ability alone would terrify pirates & gov officials alike to the point that they would want God Valley erased. Being a BB fruit user would also explain how he kept such a powerful dysfunctional crew under his belt, he could manipulate them, cook for them, etc. If you imagine the potential fighting abilities that a brain brain fruit user could develop, it's a miracle that Roger & Garp were able to defeat him at all. I predict that Xebec kept outsmarting all his other marine & pirate opponents cause they tried to fight smart like him but were outclassed. For Roger & Garp, it was only when they embraced their unpredictable nature that they took Rocks by surprise & defeated him. Thats how ultra smart villains are usually defeated.

This Imu power reminds me of something. Could it be possible that she was the one who saved Luffy from being executed by summoning a lightning strike?

Maybe she is forced or compelled by the will of her hypothetical Devil Fruit or genealogy to be in this role? I personally believe that you cannot have 2 big antagonists at the end. I think either Imu will snap out of it or be convinced by her son, or be killed by Blackbeard and avenged. Maybe she is used like a tool (an ancient weapon?) like some sort of priestess (explaining why the Elders bow to her). I mean for someone akin to being the most powerful sovereign in the world she lives a really sad life alone, prisonner of her palace (or cage) with only a few persons knowing of her existence. What does she get out of that? The Celestial Dragons are the ones enjoying her labor. She could be mind controlled. I believe Luffy will free her too. A little theory of mine but I am no One Piece historian and can be completely wrong...

Garp , Roger and rocks could be brother's like luffy , sabo and ASE 🔥

Yo I just realized something maybe there was something that changed rocks in God Valley, like think of it every person except Garp because his a marine had a High bounty of like billions. So like if rock like possess this artifact it starts to corrupt him, and in order to remove this artifact, they removed the God Valley for every map.
