Early previews tease, “God Valley is reaching its climax! How will this incident be resolved?” — a single line that has sent fans into a frenzy. The stage is now set for an apocalyptic showdown between Rocks, Whitebeard, Kaidou, and Imu.
Here’s what readers can likely expect from One Piece Chapter 1163:
The Fall of Rocks D. Xebec: The mystery behind Rocks’ downfall may finally be revealed. Rather than fleeing, he seems poised to stand against the embodiment of the World itself, cementing his status not only as a tyrant but as a defiant revolutionary.
Whitebeard and Kaidou’s Turning Point: The upcoming battle could deepen Whitebeard’s code of “family over power,” while Kaidou’s first fight in his dragon form may mark the birth of his obsession with strength and conquest.
Garp’s First Rebellion: After witnessing the atrocities of the Celestial Dragons, Garp’s moral crisis may culminate in his first act of defiance—laying the foundation for his lifelong distrust of the World Government.
Imu’s Divine Power: The fusion with Saturn implies a force that transcends any Devil Fruit. Some fans speculate a link to the Mother Flame or an ancient form of Haki tied to the Void Century.
The Fate of Eris and Teach: Eris’s promise to meet Rocks again in Lulusia—an island later erased by Imu—foreshadows tragedy. Her destiny could hold vital clues to Blackbeard’s lineage.
The God Valley storyline has meticulously woven together every major force in the One Piece world: the Rocks Pirates, Roger Pirates, Marines, and the enigmatic Celestial hierarchy. With most subplots nearing resolution—Kuma’s awakening, Kaidou’s transformation, and the fall of Rocks’ empire—many believe Chapter 1163 could mark the beginning of the end for this flashback.
Still, Oda might not close the curtain immediately. The line “How will this incident resolve?” hints that we may see one or two more chapters before returning to the present timeline. When that happens, the story will likely transition back to Elbaf, where the consequences of the past will ripple into the current era of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates.
Fans across Reddit and X are calling this arc “absolute cinema.” Some fear the decisive fight could be shown off-screen, while others trust Oda to deliver one of the greatest chapters in manga history.
If Chapter 1162 was the “Battle Royale,” then One Piece Chapter 1163 may well be “The Judgment.” This isn’t just the end of a flashback—it’s the moment that forged the modern world of One Piece, defining the eternal conflict between freedom and control, chaos and order
