Shanks Shamrock Monkey D Dragon Manga One Piece 1160
The highlight of this chapter is Dragon’s desperate battle against a Holy Knight woman with razor-sharp fangs.
Her beam attack nearly ends Dragon’s life during the chaotic God Valley Incident, where Marines, Pirates, and Celestial Dragons collide.
Spoiler One Piece 1161 reveals that Whitebeard accidentally becomes Dragon’s savior.
While fighting elsewhere on the island, Newgate’s strike disrupts the battle just long enough to spare Dragon from death.
This “butterfly effect” ensures the future creation of the Revolutionary Army — an organization that might never have existed had Dragon fallen that day.
The chapter also clarifies the loyalties within the Rocks Pirates.
Unlike some crewmates who betrayed Rocks D. Xebec, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido remain loyal, punishing those who turned on their captain.
This rare moment of unity among future Emperors shows how fierce their sense of crew pride once was.
At the same time, Marine hero Monkey D. Garp storms into the battlefield. Big Mom tries to counter him with a massive fire attack, but it barely scratches the legendary Vice Admiral.
Even Kaido’s lust for battle cannot outweigh the danger Garp presents, forcing the three pirates to retreat strategically.
