Ida, on the other hand, had moved to the Underworld and opened up a bar. Harald continued his efforts in progressing his nation, building roads that would connect Elbaph's villages and ending fights within the country. Loki, who was neglected, was raised by Estrid's brother and was constantly abused.However, his Uncle was later killed by monsters of the Underworld. To prevent further rumors of the Accursed Prince, soldiers bandaged Loki's eyes, claiming he had an eye disease. One Piece chapter 1154 then moves to 56 years before the present timeline, where Harald and Jarul were conversing about the tensions with the World Government. They spoke about Harald sneaking in as a soldier during the Reverie, during which he may have been arrested if a murder hadn’t occurred. Jarul told Harald that the World Government would have been much harsher than simply arresting him, referring to Ancient Giant shipwrights known as the Galleyra, all of whom were rumored to have been captured and frozen by the Celestial Dragons. One Piece chapter 1154 then cuts to 48 years earlier, when Loki had released beasts onto the villages due to his craving for attention. However, he felt further isolated when all the children flocked towards Hajrudin to help him. Depressed, Loki jumped from the Sun World to the Underworld, but was unscathed. He then began crying since he was unable to die. Right then, a group with Whitebeard, Shiki, Buckingham Stussy, and their leader appeared. The unidentified man is revealed to be Rocks D. Xebec, and his full appearance is shown for the first time. One Piece chapter 1154 ends with an expository narration disclosing that Xebec murdered a Marine Admiral at the Reverie eight years ago, making him a criminal. The captain of the Rocks Pirates asks Loki whether he is in Elbaph and if Harald is present in the nation, while a text refers to him as the father of Blackbeard.A brief analysis of One Piece chapter 1154 spoilersXebec's silhouette in the One Piece anime (Image via Toei Animation)One Piece chapter 1154 has a lot of interesting information, but the most intriguing part is definitely the reveal of Rocks D. Xebec’s appearance. The legendary pirate had only been shown as a darkened silhouette, and the confirmation that Blackbeard is Xebec’s son proves right the many fan theories that had been speculating on this for years.In light of this disclosure, Blackbeard likely adopted his “Marshall” surname from his mother, just like Portgas D. Ace took his mother’s “Portgas” surname instead of his father’s “Gol."One Piece author Eiichiro Oda foreshadowed Blackbeard and Xebec’s connection with several subtle clues, such as Blackbeard using the island of Hachinosu as his base, just like Xebec did, or naming his ship “Saber of Xebec." It should be noted that the World Government erased every piece of information about Xebec from history, meaning that his full name isn’t common knowledge in the One Piece world, except among those directly related to him.Marshall D. Teach "Blackbeard" (Image via Toei Animation)Most people only know Rocks D. Xebec as Rocks, the captain of the formidable Rocks Pirates. Xebec died at the hands of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp during the God Valley Incident. This event took place 38 years before the present narration when Blackbeard was just a 2-year-old child. So, he couldn’t have possibly been a part of Xebec’s crew or met him under other circumstances.His knowledge likely stems from the fact that he is Xebec’s direct descendant. The confirmation that Blackbeard is the metaphorical second coming of Xebec implies that he has inherited his father’s ambition to “become the king of the world."Based on his actions in the story, Blackbeard will go to any lengths to fulfill this legacy. Therefore, his threat level may even surpass that of Xebec, a man dangerous enough to force Roger and Garp to team up.Blackbeard's ship, the "Saber of Xebec" (Image via Toei Animation)One Piece chapter 1154 also highlights Xebec’s incredible power by revealing that he killed a Marine Admiral. Based on the initial spoilers, the installment doesn’t seem to reveal the name and abilities of the Admiral or the circumstances in which Xebec killed him.Still, Xebec’s characterization as a reckless man who feared nothing suggests that he killed the Admiral after defeating him in combat. It is an incredible feat that very few characters would be able to replicate.It’s also interesting to note that the Galley-La group of Giants, skilled in shipbuilding, mentioned in One Piece chapter 1154, has the same name as the Galley-La company from Water Seven. It’s possible that these Giants passed their shipbuilding expertise on to the founders of the company now chaired by Iceburg.Related LinksOne Piece chapter 1154 confirms the manga's July 2025 release scheduleOne Piece chapter 1154: Release date and time, where to read, and moreOne Piece: Every information revealed in the volume 112 SBSOne Piece's latest flashback hints how Hajrudin can become one of Elbaph's strongestOne Piece confirms the power ranking for the Wings of the Pirate King in chapter 1151
