The wait for the next chapter of Eiichiro Oda’s monumental flashback continues. One Piece Chapter 1163 is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal and emotionally charged entries in the God Valley Incident saga. Following the explosive events of Chapter 1162, titled “God Valley Battle Royale,” the story now stands at the brink of its long-awaited climax.

According to the official Weekly Shonen Jump release schedule, One Piece Chapter 1163 will be available on Sunday, October 19, 2025, through Viz Media and MANGA Plus.

Recap of Chapter 1162: Chaos at God Valley

The previous chapter delivered one of the most chaotic and cinematic sequences in recent memory. While Silvers Rayleigh and Shakuyaku managed to escape, the island descended into a frenzy of blood, betrayal, and divine power. The pirates of the Rocks era turned against each other, the World Government’s God’s Knights arrived to exterminate the survivors, and amidst it all, Rocks D. Xebec stood defiant.

In a shocking twist, Imu made a dramatic descent onto the battlefield—possessing Saint Saturn’s body and fusing with the monstrous Gyuki form. The sight left even Rocks speechless as he muttered, “This is the World itself.” Oda’s storytelling here blended tragedy and grandeur: Rocks facing his own corrupted family, the Davy bloodline, while Big Mom and Kaidou severed their uneasy alliance after Kaidou consumed the stolen Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu.

Meanwhile, Kuma and Ivankov risked everything to save civilians and slaves, signaling the first steps of Kuma’s heroic journey. On another front, Garp witnessed the cruel “Native Hunting Competition” led by the Celestial Dragons—an awakening that would define his moral struggle against the World Government for decades to come.

What to Expect in One Piece Chapter 1163

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 Endgame of the God Valley Flashback

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.

Community Reactions and Final Thoughts

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
