The Elbaf arc in One Piece has reached its emotional and explosive peak as the long-awaited God Valley Incident finally concludes in Chapter 1165, titled “Echoes.”
Eiichiro Oda delivers one of the most cinematic battles in manga history, showcasing the combined might of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp against the unstoppable, demonized Rocks D. Xebec.

The chapter opens where 1164 left off, with Garp asking Roger whether he can also hear Rocks’ voice, a sign of his distorted will.
Moments later, the two legends launch a furious assault on Rocks, whose demonic power has turned the island into a battlefield of chaos.
Their attacks barely leave a mark, as Rocks uses his Supreme King Haki to nullify their blows.
The clash between the three creates a colossal shockwave, splitting the sky above God Valley—a visual reminiscent of Luffy’s clash with Kaido.
Despite sustaining heavy injuries, Roger and Garp rise once more, taking off their coats, signaling that this fight is far from over.

While Roger and Garp battle for survival, other pirates make their move. Rayleigh secures Shakky and treasures aboard the Roger Pirates’ ship, while Shiki declares the end of the Rocks Pirates.
Big Mom (Linlin) and Kaidou also share a tense exchange, teasing a rivalry that will echo for decades. Linlin vows that Kaidou owes her a “debt of a lifetime,” setting up one of the most enduring grudges in One Piece history.
Elsewhere, a young Dragon threatens a Marine officer, demanding the evacuation of civilians—a subtle glimpse into the revolutionary spirit he would later embody.
Meanwhile, Imu, using Saturn’s body, orders the total erasure of God Valley from existence.
The Marines of G-11 and Cipher Pol 6 begin the cover-up, ensuring the event becomes nothing more than a legend.
