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.

Despite their relentless efforts, Roger and Garp fail to wound Rocks. The demon’s Haki overwhelms every attempt.
In desperation, Roger proposes one final strategy—to combine their Supreme King Haki into a single, all-or-nothing strike. Garp agrees, knowing it might leave them completely drained.
In an unforgettable double-page spread, the two unleash their ultimate techniques:
Roger’s “Hinokagutsuchi no Ace” — “The Wise Flame God,” and Garp’s “Infinitum Explosion.”
Their combined power shatters the mountains and pierces through Rocks’ defense.
The impact is so immense that it echoes across the seas. As Rocks falls, his voice fades with a plea that lingers in the readers’ hearts — a tragic warrior freed from Imu’s curse at last.

The narrator closes the chapter solemnly:
“The World Government sought to conceal the incident entirely. Yet, the organization once led by Rocks D. Xebec defined an era of chaos. The collapse of the Rocks Pirates sent echoes that shook the world…”
With this, One Piece Chapter 1165 officially marks the end of the God Valley Incident — a battle that shaped history, destroyed an island, and gave birth to the age of Roger and Garp, whose legends will forever echo through time.
