Roger and Garp vs. Rocks: The clash that split the sky

One Piece Chapter 1165 starts with Garp asking Roger if he can hear Xebec's voice. This confirmed one fan theory of Garp having the power of the Voice of All Things. The duo reluctantly team up to fight against Xebec, who was completely transformed into a demon. What follows next in this chapter is the most intense and memorable battle in One Piece history.

Roger and Garp launch a simultaneous attack of Supreme King Haki; the magnitude of these attacks can be felt by others, but even these combined failed to leave a scratch on Xebec. Then, in One Piece Chapter 1165, the battle culminates in a massive Haki explosion so powerful it splits the sky over God Valley.

A similar scene was seen during the Wano arc when Luffy fought against Kaido. Both these men refused to give up and kept on barraging attacks on attacks. Garp opens up by revealing that this is not how he had planned the events. He threatens to cuff both Rocks and Roger, and Roger jokingly talks about stealing Shakky and the treasure. This banter in Chapter 1165 captures the essence of their rivalry and respect towards each other.

While the trio is in the middle of their battle, One Piece Chapter 1165 shifts its focus to the Rocks Pirates. Shiki openly declares that this is the end of this crew. Meanwhile, Rayleigh was successful in rescuing Shakky and ensuring that the RogerPirates’ treasures made it off the island.

Meanwhile, Linlin and Kaido are shown to survive the ongoing chaos, and they share an interesting conversation. She tells him that he will have to repay her one day, and Kaido owes her a debt of lifetime. This heated conversation in One Piece Chapter 1165 is a perfect foreshadowing of the Yonko rivalry that takes place in the current timeline.

One of the biggest surprises of One Piece Chapter 1165 is when a presumably insignificant character walks upto Whitebeard and introduces himself and calling himself the biggest fan. His name is Polo Gram, and fans immediately recognize his appearance, and Oda might be hinting that he could be Marco's father. Both of them share a small interaction, and Oda has used this opportunity to add some humor in the middle of the intense storyline.

In this chapter, Dragon continues to disobey his superior and goes as far as threatening them. He prioritizes saving civilians and getting them far from this chaos. This act could be the foundation for him to decide to stop being a Marine and start the Revolutionary Army. Meanwhile, Rayleigh and Gaban show loyalty towards their captain, and they return to the island to rescue Rogers.

The chapter comes to an end when Imu gives a chilling order to erase the God Valley from existence. In the end, Chapter 1165 managed to combine action, lore, and humour, proving yet again that Oda is a master storyteller. The age of legends may be fading, but its echoes are only getting louder. The chapter will be officially released on November 9, 2025, and will be officially available to read on Viz Media and Shueisha Manga Plus.
