One Piece Chapter 1162 has unleashed one of the most mind-blowing sets of spoilers in recent memory, giving fans a legendary face-off that feels straight out of the series’ mythos. Titled 'God Valley Battle Royal,' this chapter dives deep into the long-awaited climax of the God Valley flashback, tying together the origins of Kaido’s Devil Fruit, Rocks D. Xebec’s fate, and Imu’s terrifying true powers.
With shocking alliances and betrayals, Eiichiro Oda seems to be wrapping up this historic arc in spectacular fashion before taking a break next week. After months of cover story adventures across Wano, One Piece Chapter 1162 finally brings closure to Yamato’s solo journey. The cover depicts Yamato returning to the Flower Capital and reuniting with the Scabbards and familiar faces.
Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers. Readers’ discretion is advised.
Rocks saves his crew and Eris’ chilling message
The chapter opens with a major emotional beat: Rocks D. Xebec saving and helping both Eris and Teach (the older one, possibly a Blackbeard ancestor) escape the chaos. This moment shows a rare, almost protective side of Rocks, a far cry from his reputation as a ruthless conqueror.
Before parting, Eris cryptically tells Rocks to “meet in Lulusia,” a statement that hits harder considering the island’s later destruction in the current timeline. This foreshadowing has fans theorizing about the ancient ties between Rocks’ lineage and the void century secrets buried beneath Lulusia.
Big Mom’s lost Dragon Fruit and Kaido’s legendary theft
One of the most talked-about moments from One Piece Chapter 1162 is the revelation of how Kaido obtained the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Azure Dragon. Initially, Big Mom intended to give the fruit to Katakuri as a token of favor and legacy. However, Kaido ambushed her, stole the Devil Fruit, and devoured it immediately, cementing his destiny as the future King of Beasts.
This twist redefines the dynamic between Kaido and Big Mom. Her infamous “You owe me your life, Kaido!” line now takes on an ironic meaning, as it turns out she never even intended to help him. Fans are already debating whether this betrayal was the root of their eventual rivalry and unstable alliance decades later in Wano.
Garling falls as Rocks’ power is on full display
The long-hyped Saint Figarland Garling, commander of the God Knights and Shanks’ alleged father, finally meets his match. In an earth-shattering clash, Rocks D. Xebec defeats Garling, marking the first major victory for the Rocks Pirates in this flashback.
Reactions across the fandom are split; some readers celebrated Rocks’ dominance in One Piece Chapter 1162, while others believe Garling isn’t truly down for good, speculating about hidden regeneration powers tied to the Holy Knights.
Still, Oda’s choice to use Garling as a hype tool for Rocks is telling. It solidifies Rocks as a terrifyingly strong force who once ruled over the seas with unmatched charisma and brutality, a man worthy of being both Roger and Garp’s greatest adversary.
Imu’s possession and the fall of the Daw clan
As if the chaos wasn’t enough, One Piece Chapter 1162 reveals an even darker truth. Imu possesses Saturn in his monstrous spider form, while the remaining members of the mysterious Daw Clan have already been turned into demons. This sequence paints Imu not as a distant ruler but as an active, godlike entity, one capable of body-hopping and manipulating others to his will.
Moreover, this revelation also ties directly to the Egghead arc, raising questions about why Imu didn’t possess Saturn earlier. Fans are theorizing that perhaps Saturn’s compatibility or the presence of Nika’s will on Egghead limited Imu’s influence. The possession theme could foreshadow future storylines where Imu manipulates other Gorosei or even key historical figures through time.
Whitebeard and Kaido join Rocks against Imu
The One Piece Chapter 1162's final pages deliver the biggest shock of all: Whitebeard and Kaido (in his dragon form) standing beside Rocks, facing Imu-sama. It’s a visual that redefines the legend of God Valley entirely.
For years, fans believed the event was simply a clash between the Rocks Pirates and the Roger-Garp alliance, but this new reveal suggests the fight involved divine powers, possession, and a confrontation with the being who rules the world itself.
With Imu possessing Saturn and standing in spider-like monstrous glory, the Rocks trio, Whitebeard, and Kaido gear up for a once-in-a-generation battle, possibly setting the stage for Rocks’ downfall.
The idea that even these monsters among men were no match for Imu reinforces the scale of his threat, explaining why Garp and Roger were later credited with defeating Rocks despite their limited involvement.
