One Piece Chapter 1164 is redefining one of the series’ most legendary moments—the God Valley Incident. For six years, fans accepted Sengoku’s version of events as the absolute truth: Garp and Roger joined forces to defeat the evil Rocks Pirates. However, Eiichiro Oda’s recent chapters have turned this story completely upside down.

God Valley One Piece
In Chapter 957, former Fleet Admiral Sengoku described the event as a heroic victory. Garp, the “Marine Hero,” and Gol D. Roger were said to have defeated Rocks D. Xebec’s dangerous crew, erasing the island of God Valley from existence. But what the World Government presented was far from the truth.
The flashback arc now exposes how the Marines were unknowingly defending the Celestial Dragons during a human hunt. The Rocks Pirates, once labeled as villains, were actually trying to rescue their captured allies, including Shakuyaku. Even Rocks himself was portrayed as a man struggling to protect his own family.
This revelation exposes the propaganda machine that shaped the “heroic” version of Garp’s past. The Marines’ supposed victory was nothing more than a cover-up for the atrocities committed by the World Nobles.
The new flashback also gives context to Garp’s hatred of talking about God Valley. His son, Monkey D. Dragon, witnessed the cruelty firsthand and chose to rebel by saving civilians. This moment explains the origins of Dragon’s revolutionary ideals and his breakaway from the World Government’s ideology.
Garp’s confrontation with Imu, the mysterious ruler of the world, shows that he was never a blind soldier of justice. His refusal to become Admiral wasn’t arrogance—it was defiance. He despised the system that glorified oppression and hid the truth.

Chapter 1164 expands the God Valley flashback even further. Xebec, now fully aware of Imu’s power, resists it until he transforms into a demon. Before losing control, he declares that Davy Jones was the true King of the World—a shocking revelation that shakes the lore of One Piece to its core.
In his rampage, Xebec overpowers Big Mom, Kaido, and even clashes fiercely with Whitebeard. The destruction is so great that parts of God Valley crumble under their might. Meanwhile, Kuma uses his Devil Fruit to save Eris and Teach, while Shiki steals treasure from Ganzui’s crew.
When Imu orders the annihilation of everyone on the island, Rocks tells Garp and Roger to kill him before he loses himself completely. Thus begins the legendary Garp and Roger vs. Xebec battle—one that shaped the history of the world.
Before his fall, Xebec asks Imu a chilling question:
“Who are you more afraid of—Joyboy or Davy Jones?”
This line hints at an ancient will, perhaps older than even the “Will of D.” The so-called “Will of Davy” could be the key to understanding the true history hidden by the World Government.
With these revelations, One Piece Chapter 1164 doesn’t just retell a forgotten event—it rewrites the moral foundation of the One Piece world. The so-called heroes may have been pawns, and the villains may have carried the will of freedom itself.
Eiichiro Oda’s storytelling once again proves its brilliance: history in One Piece is written by the victors, but truth belongs to those who dare to question it.
