Rocks D. Xebec’s final moments raise even more mysteries

The chapter opens with the aftermath of the legendary battle between Rocks, Roger, and Garp. All three fighters are left exhausted, and a severely wounded Rocks struggles to speak his last words.

He mutters something along the lines of, “Didn’t work, huh? Roge, Garp… run.” Before anything else unfolds, Garling, Sommers, and Maffey arrive.

Garling immediately strikes Rocks down with a brutal sword thrust—confirming that the pirate did not meet his end at the hands of Roger or Garp, as many fans once believed.

The raw scans showcase a somber montage of young Newgate, Big Mom, Kaido, and Shakky while God Valley begins to sink. No buster call. No laser attack. The island simply collapses into the ocean—an unsettling parallel to the destruction of Lulusia.

The treasure chest mystery: baby Shanks appears

After retreating to the Oro Jackson for medical treatment, Roger’s crew opens the infamous treasure chest. As previously teased in Film Red materials, baby Shanks is discovered sleeping peacefully inside. The manga still does not clarify why he ended up in the chest, but the implication leans toward a desperate attempt to protect a child from danger.

Painful revelations among the Elbaph giants

The chapter shifts to Elbaph, where themes of guilt and generational trauma unfold. Harald blames himself for failing to assist Rocks at God Valley, unleashing his frustration before swearing to devote his life to peace and integrating Elbaph into the world community.

Meanwhile, Loki, who once believed Rocks was the godlike figure Nika, faces harsh disappointment. This marks the beginning of Loki’s ideological transformation—an important seed for his future political stance.
