Fans can’t stop laughing as “Marco Polo” suddenly becomes canon after One Piece Chapter 1165 reveals Marco's last name

Since news on One Piece Chapter 1165 has come out, fans have caught on to a possible easter egg by Eiichiro Oda and are loving it. This chapter is covering one of the most intense plots in the series, and yet the creator has sneaked in the funniest name reveal.

In this chapter, a new character is revealed who calls himself a fan of Whitebeard. He introduces himself as Polo Gram, and from his appearance, it is confirmed that he is the father of Maro. Fans did not waste time connecting the timeline and coming to the conclusion that Marco's full name would be Marco Polo in One Piece.

Before readers can even catch their breath from laughing, the story plunges back into darkness. Imu orders the destruction of God Valley, and Xebec’s Conqueror’s Haki is described as overwhelmingly powerful, forcing Roger and Garp to unleash all their might in a combined, haki-charged attack.

One Piece Chapter 1165 maintains its intense vibe in the middle of this joke.

According to the spoilers, this One Piece chapter gives readers the conclusion of the God Valley Incident. From Rogers Pirants finally disbanding and all the crewmates going their way, to Imu giving the order to destroy the island, this chapter has it all.

Oda gave us a minute to add in this word play when Polo Gram extends his wish to join Whitebeard, but this lighthearted vibe does not last long, and we see the final clash been Roger and Garp fighitng against Xebec.

Fans react to “Polo Marco” and the chapter’s emotional highs

Many readers have praised Oda's patience in building upto this joke. Marco has been an essential part of Whitebeard's crew and was like an adopted son, but other than the name, his being part of his crew has more importance than we initially knew. Netizens have caught on to this, and fans are unable to contain their reactions to the pun-filled name reveal and the gravity of the God Valley showdown. Some reactions are:

"I see what you do for your disciples, Oda." Said a fan.

"w naming" said another.

"why do i think oda just drawed marco by mistake and then came up with this to explain lol" said one netizen.

"So funny Marco name become Marco Polo 😂" added another fan.

Some fans have stopped talking about the fight against Xebec and the fierce duo of Roger and Garp. It’s moments like these that remind readers how Oda intertwines wordplay, history, and character design to create something timeless. Even a seemingly silly joke has hidden depth when viewed through his creative lens.

Final thoughts

Trending

Beyond the jokes and memes circulating are social media, One Piece Chapter 1165 will finally provide a sense of conclusion to the story of the Rocks Pirates. Until now, he was one of the most misunderstood characters. The fall of Xebec closes one of the darkest eras in the One Piece world, and yet, from those ashes, figures like Roger, Garp, and Whitebeard rise to define a new age.

With Imu’s command to erase God Valley, Oda hints that this event may have shaped not just the world’s geography but also its history, perhaps even explaining the Void Century’s mysterious cover-ups. The series will take a week's break before it continues to tie up the loose ends of this arc's conclusion.
