Based on the initial spoilers, One Piece chapter 1158 will be titled "Rocks vs Harald", a reference to the unexpected fight between the two former friends featured in the installment. The chapter also continues the ongoing cover story following Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano.

It reveals a shocking truth about the identity of the hero who seemingly fought against Kaido but died without leaving a corpse. The grave allegedly bears the name “Kozuki Moria.”

One Piece chapter 1158 then shifts its focus to Gol D. Roger’s arrival on Hachinosu, the island where the Rocks Pirates established their base. 40 years before the present events, Roger meets Rocks D. Xebec inside the bar that Shakuyaku opened on Hachinosu.

Tensions rise and a confrontation seems about to begin, but Xebec, as captivated by Shakuyaku’s beauty as Roger, suggests they avoid fighting inside her bar.

The narration then turns to Xebec’s encounter with a certain woman, after which his interest in Shakuyaku fades. Together, Xebec and this woman have a child, who in the years to come will become famous as Marshall D. Teach “Blackbeard”.

Meanwhile, King Harald accepts the Gorosei’s secret offer to kill Rocks D. Xebec in exchange for Elbaph’s place in the World Government. The sovereign of Elbaph launches an attack on Xebec, leading to a tremendous clash between the two. Harald and Xebec fight fiercely, unleashing their Conqueror’s Haki all around.

Their battle seemingly goes on for several pages of One Piece chapter 1158, until they knock each other unconscious.

This event marks the end of Xebec and Harald’s friendship. The installment then transitions to God Valley, exactly 39 years before the present. Saint Figarland Garling discovers something particularly intriguing after completing a mission on the island, and suggests to Imu-sama that the next human hunting tournament be held there.

One Piece chapter 1158 concludes with the introduction of a mysterious red-haired woman residing in God Valley. Her face remains hidden from readers, but she appears with two infants, who are revealed as Shanks and Shamrock. This suggests that she is the mother of the two twin brothers, and thus Saint Garling’s lover.
