One Piece just painted Shakky as the cause behind the God Valley incident

For decades, One Piece fans have treated the God Valley Incident as one of the biggest mysteries in the series, an event so monumental it led to the fall of the Rocks Pirates, the rise of Gol D. Roger’s legend, and the lasting fame of Monkey D. Garp as “Hero of the Marines.”

Until recently, most theories agreed on a few points: the battle was triggered by the Celestial Dragons’ Human Hunting Competition, some kind of priceless treasure was stolen from Hachinosu, and the world’s most powerful pirates that was led by Rocks D. Xebec, clashed with the Roger Pirates, Marines, and the Holy Knights.

That “treasure” was assumed to be either an Ancient Weapon, a stockpile of rare Devil Fruits, or some other tangible item capable of shifting the balance of power. But One Piece chapter 1157 throws all those assumptions into chaos. According to the latest revelations, the treasure wasn’t a weapon, nor a Devil Fruit; it was Shakuyaku “Shakky” herself.

Chapter 1157 confirms that before her quiet life on Sabaody, Shakky was the second-in-command of the Kuja Pirates and later captain of Amazon Lily herself. After stepping down, she opened a bar on Hachinosu, the pirate island ruled by Rocks D. Xebec.

Her beauty, charisma, and fearless demeanor quickly earned her the title “Treasure of Hachinosu.” Even the most fearsome pirates of the era were shown with comically lovestruck reactions around her.

This wasn’t just a running gag; it established that Shakky commanded a presence so captivating it could disarm even the deadliest figures in the New World.

The Celestial Dragons eventually learned of her and, true to their horrific nature, decided to claim her as a prize. This was no different from their treatment of Boa Hancock and countless others, abducting and displaying human beings like exotic trophies.

Why does this change everything we thought we knew?

This twist flips decades of fan speculation on its head. The assumption that the God Valley “treasure” was an object made sense, pirates chase loot, and the term “treasure” in One Piece usually refers to tangible riches or Devil Fruits. But Oda has once again reminded us that human stories often drive the most important events in his world.

It also reframes Rocks D. Xebec’s motives. Instead of simply being after wealth or military advantage, the Rocks Pirates’ involvement now has a personal, almost emotional angle, though with pirates of their caliber, it’s safe to assume personal desire and opportunism were intertwined.

Shakky’s power and the mystery of her capture

The Kuja Pirates are no ordinary crew. Even without a Devil Fruit, Amazon Lily warriors are renowned for their Haki mastery and combat skill. For Shakky to be captured, her abductors must have been incredibly strong.

Theories immediately point toward:

• A top-tier Marine (possibly one of the Admirals of that era)
• A Cipher Pol Zero squad under direct World Government orders
• A Holy Knight unit capable of taking down powerful Haki users

If future chapters reveal exactly who subdued Shakky, it could connect her abduction to other major plotlines, especially given how the World Government’s hidden agents operate in the shadows.

How Shakky’s attractiveness became a political trigger in One Piece

In most pirate tales, wars break out over gold, land, or power. In One Piece, beauty has occasionally had world-shaking consequences, from Hancock’s sway over enemies to Sanji’s conflicts caused by his chivalry. But Shakky’s case stands apart; her beauty didn’t just charm individuals; it became the focal point of a multi-faction war.

This positions Shakky as a rare figure in One Piece history, not just a survivor of the Rocks era, but potentially the most politically consequential woman outside of the Celestial Dragon bloodline during that time.

The role of the Roger Pirates and Garp

The fact that both Gol D. Roger and Garp were involved in rescuing Shakky raises intriguing questions. Did Roger have a personal connection to her before Rayleigh? Did he see her as an ally worth saving on principle, or was it a strategic move against the World Government?

Garp’s comments in earlier flashbacks, blaming the Celestial Dragons for provoking the conflict, take on new weight now. If he knew the “treasure” was a person, it would explain his disdain for the Celestials and his complicated relationship with the Marines.

Final thoughts

One Piece chapter 1157 doesn’t just give Shakky a richer backstory; it elevates her to a central figure in one of the most legendary events in the One Piece timeline. Her abduction didn’t just unite sworn enemies; it forced the world’s strongest pirates, the Marines, and the World Government into a single battlefield.
