The final days of the Rocks Pirates

According to the spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1165, the cover story is of Law and Bepo using Zeus as a pillow. It is a light-hearted moment, but then the chapter starts, and it is the end of humour. The story continues as it is reaching the climax of the God Valley Incident, and Chapter 1165 shows us that the Rocks Pirated as disbanded. Shiki, one of the members, goes to declare that it is the end of the Rock Piratraes.

Everyone goes their separate way. This is an emotional moment in the chapter as they were once a near-invincible crew, but now that they are going on separate journeys, it will redefine the next era of piracy. Oda has used this moment in a beautiful form of storytelling as the end of Rocks becomes the foundation for the future Yonko system.


Kaido and Big Mom’s bitter farewell

Before the main event of One Piece Chapter 1165 starts, we see Kaido and Linlin (Big Mom) have a quiet moment. She reminds him that he owes her a lifetime debt, referring to Kaido stealing the Devil Fruit that she wanted to give to her son. This might come as nostalgia bait, but the implication of this line actually laid emotional groundwork for their later rivalry.

Their parting feels cold, almost transactional, setting the tone for how greed and pride destroy even the strongest bonds among pirates. Oda’s use of dialogue here reinforces a running theme: In the pirate world, debts and alliances are fleeting, but grudges echo forever.


Whitebeard meets Polo Gram: Marco’s father

One of the most surprising parts of One Piece Chapter 1165 is the introduction of Polo Garm. He is allegedly Marco's father, as there is a resemblance in their appearance. Polo Gram introduces himself to Whitebeard and asks him to join him, as he is the biggest fan. Although it is not confirmed whether the meeting will become significant later, or if it is Oda's way of adding humor.


Imu’s ruthless command and the fate of God Valley

Chaos is at an all-time high in One Piece Chapter 1165, as Imu enters and gives a shocking command. It wants to erase everything in God Valley; this order gives clarity to readers, as there has been a popular theory as to why this island was wiped out from the face of the world's history.

Now it makes sense as the disappearance might have been caused by the use of the ancient weapon. It is now confirmed that in One Piece Chapter 1165 stakes have never been higher for everyone on the island, as everyone needs to save themselves or be wiped out from existence. Now it makes more sense why this incident has been part of the forbidden knowledge in the world of One Piece.

The highlight of One Piece Chapter 1165 is the fight between Xebec, who is under Imu's influence, versus Rogers and Garp. Fans can expect multiple pages of their combat. The duo uses all of their powers to strike an ultimate attack on Xebec, causing the dark energy to seep out of his body. It means that he is no longer under Imu's control. Although it is not confirmed whether he is alive or dead.

One Piece Chapter 1165 ends with Garp and Roger standing victorious, though the cost is immeasurable. The God Valley Incident is a story whispered for decades; finally reached its conclusion. The fall of Rocks D. Xebec marks the end of one age and the silent beginning of another. To know what happens next, readers will have to wait, as there will be a break next week. It is like the creator is making fans reflect on this battle that has shaken the world of One Piece forever.
