The betrayal that changed everything

One Piece Chapter 1159 opens with a dramatic revelation: Shakky was kidnapped, and Don Marlon was killed by a traitor within the Rocks Pirates, Ouchoku (Wang Zhi). This betrayal not only fractured trust within the Rocks’ crew but also sent shockwaves across the world. The global economy itself paused for weeks, highlighting how deeply this incident shook the balance of power.

Reactions were emotional and varied. Gloriosa (then Kuja leader) was devastated, while Ouchoku reveled in the chaos. But the most striking response came from Roger and Rayleigh. Roger tore apart the newspaper in fury. This moment sets the emotional stakes for the God Valley Incident. What’s coming is more than a political event; it is personal for many of the players involved.


Garling’s cruelty and the Red-Haired twins

Fast-forward one year, 38 years before the current timeline. We finally get confirmation about Figarland Garling and his ties to Shanks’ origins. A mysterious red-haired woman introduces Garling to twins, Shamrock and Shanks. Garling acknowledges their cuteness but quickly reveals his true nature.

When the woman asks him to stay with her on the island, Garling responds by stabbing her in cold blood. He declares that his “true wife” has already been chosen for him and that she will be captured during the upcoming God Valley tournament. This moment in One Piece Chapter 1159 reframes Garling as one of the vilest characters in One Piece history. Not only does he participate in the atrocities of God Valley, but he betrays the mother of his own children.


Young Dragon’s first appearance

For the first time, we see Monkey D. Dragon as a young Marine in One Piece Chapter 1159. Dragon already stands apart from his peers; he refuses to kill, using tranquilizers instead of bullets. He questions the morality of the God Valley mission but is silenced by his superiors.

This scene is critical: It plants the seeds of Dragon’s eventual defection from the Marines. Witnessing the horrors of the Celestial Dragons firsthand, while being forced to enforce their will, likely shaped his philosophy of rebellion.


Rocks’ secret: The Davy clan

The biggest bombshell of the One Piece Chapter 1159 comes when Rocks confronts Harald. Rocks reveals that his full name is Davy D. Xebec. This revelation changes everything. He explains that his clan descends from the legendary pirate Davy Jones, and that the World Government has been trying to eradicate the Davy Clan for centuries.

Rocks admits to having a wife and child, whom he has sent to God Valley to be protected by the remnants of his clan. Rocks’ goal in the God Valley Incident is recontextualized. While the world believes he’s attacking for power, his true mission is to save his family. Harald pretends to oppose him but secretly lets him go, showing a rare moment of compassion among the chaos.

The introduction of the Davy Clan also ties directly to Blackbeard. Fans have long speculated why Teach is “different,” because he doesn’t sleep and can wield multiple Devil Fruits. The answer may be his Davy lineage, a bloodline with unique, forbidden traits.


The tournament: Shakky as the prize

The chapter builds toward the grotesque spectacle of the God Valley Tournament. Rare Devil Fruits are displayed as prizes, but the centerpiece is Shakuyaku herself, dressed in Kuja attire and introduced as the former Empress of Amazon Lily.

The Tenryuubito gawk and squabble over who will claim her. Garling declares she will be his wife. Sommers boasts she will be his slave. Gunko and the Manmayer girl strategize about winning clan glory.

The dehumanization is complete as Shakky is paraded as a prize rather than a person. This scene in One Piece Chapter 1159 is haunting but also pivotal. It ties Shakky’s past to Rayleigh’s fury, Garling’s villainy, and Rocks’ desperation. Her fate is a fulcrum on which history turns.


Teach and his mother

In a different cage, we see a young Teach and his mother. She comforts him with haunting words:

“You have to survive this no matter what...!!”

The parallel is clear. Both Shanks and Teach were present at God Valley as children. We see in One Piece Chapter 1159 that both lost their mothers that day. Both emerged from tragedy as titans of the pirate world. The clash between them in the present day feels inevitable now; it is not just rivalry, but destiny shaped by the same crucible.


The final reveal in One Piece Chapter 1159

The One Piece Chapter 1159 ends with a shocking announcement from the master of ceremonies. With this, the God Valley Incident escalates beyond mere cruelty. It’s not only about slaves, prizes, or power; it is about the eradication of entire bloodlines. The Buccaneers, the Kuja, and now the Davy Clan are all victims of the Celestial Dragons’ hunt.

The panel positions the Davy Clan as central to the Void Century’s mysteries. If Blackbeard is their last surviving heir, then his role in the final saga is even more critical than fans imagined.
