Based on the spoilers, One Piece chapter 1155 will be titled The Rocks Pirates. This installment won’t include the usual cover story focused on Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano, which will be temporarily replaced by a color spread featuring the Straw Hat Pirates walking on ladders above the rooftops of a city.

The main story continues the flashback from previous chapters, featuring the encounter between the Rocks Pirates and Loki in Elbaph’s Underworld region. After the Giant told the tiny people in front of him that Harald had gone out on an expedition, Xebec commanded Loki to tell his father of his wounds, which would call him back. This ticked Loki off, after which he attacked Xebec and told him his father wouldn’t return for such a reason.

In response, Xebec unveiled his devastating sword, which was known to send all his targets flying away on impact. He then happily laughed, stating that Loki was gravely injured. One Piece chapter 1155 then shifts to the Reverie that took place 56 years ago, during which 5 kings were reported to have been kidnapped by a man.

The culprit, Rocks D. Xebec, made his way to the deepest part of Mary Geoise, the Room of Flowers, and met Imu. Though the kings weren’t valuable hostages, Xebec was satisfied at having plunged the Holy Land into chaos. With a pistol in his hand, the pirate threatened the ruler of the World Government and called himself an admirer of Davy Jones.

One Piece chapter 1155 spoilers showed Xebec leaving, telling Imu he would return one day. While escaping, both Xebec and Harald ran into each other and went on the attack. This resulted in a massive output of Haki that made everyone within a 5 km radius unconscious. After a brief confrontation, the two then decided to run together.

While Xebec wished to reunite with Harald if they survived, he was turned down, after which the Giant jumped off the Red Line. Meanwhile, an Admiral who had fought Xebec in the Holy Land ended up dying from his injuries, and as a result, the pirate was declared a criminal with a large bounty.

Rocks D. Xebec continued to make a name for himself, destroying one of the Gates of Justice, stealing the Heavenly Tribute, and strengthening his crew through the Davy Back Fight. Back in the main flashback, the Rocks Pirates had settled into Aurust Castle, while Loki was pleasantly surprised with his father having returned for his sake.

One Piece chapter 1155 spoilers showed Xebec continuing to ask Harald to join him, only to face continuous refusal. When the king of Elbaph asked Xebec’s crew why they followed him, he was met with a mocking response from Shiki, who said that he wouldn’t care even if Xebec died.

The rest of the crew then explained that they got together for the sake of Xebec’s plan, which involved targeting Hachinosu. Once an island filled with deadly prisoners, Hachinosu had become home to several organizations recently, all of whom were getting wealthy from the gold veins underneath it.

Xebec wished to make use of this and rule the world, asking Harald to join him yet again. However, the Giant king remained determined not to work with a criminal. One Piece chapter 1155 ends by taking the series 44 years before the present timeline, with several ships approaching Hachinosu. The Rocks Pirates began implementing Rocks D. Xebec’s plan, and their flag waved for the very first time.

A brief analysis of One Piece chapter 1155 spoilers

One Piece chapter 1155 revealed Rocks D. Xebec’s fighting style. Given his familial connection to Marshall D. Teach “Blackbeard,” the only known individual to wield two Devil Fruit abilities at once, most fans expected Xebec to be a Devil Fruit user like his son.

However, there was a surprising twist, as Xebec appeared to be a powerful swordsman who relies on his Haki, not unlike Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, Dracule Mihawk, “Red-Hair” Shanks, Roronoa Zoro, Kozuki Oden, and others. Still, what’s clear is that Xebec is portrayed as a true powerhouse.

He managed to destroy the enormous Gates of Justice at Enies Lobby with one of his techniques, highlighting his incredible attacking power. As if that weren’t enough, Xebec met Imu-sama face-to-face, openly challenged the World Government’s ominous supreme leader, and despite this unconceivable defiance, left the scene unscathed.

Xebec’s deeds, such as kidnapping some of the sovereigns attending the Levely and stealing the Celestial Dragons’ money, highlight him as a real pirate who fears nothing. While Roger’s bounty was said to be the highest ever recorded for a pirate in One Piece, any mention of Xebec’s existence has been erased from history.

So, considering his recklessness and accomplishments, it’s not far-fetched to speculate that, in reality, Xebec had the highest bounty ever. In fact, Xebec even killed a Marine Admiral, though One Piece chapter 1155 still doesn’t reveal the name or abilities of that Admiral, nor the circumstances in which Xebec killed him.

It would be very interesting if Blackbeard knows some information about Imu from a note left by his father, Xebec. Likewise, the mention of Davy Jones, a mythical figure whom Xebec declared to be an admirer of, is quite enthralling, as is the revelation that Xebec expanded his crew by forcibly recruiting new members through Davy Back Fights.

Though this particular detail isn’t explicitly mentioned in the chapter, it might explain why Edward Newgate “Whitebeard” joined Xebec despite seemingly disliking him. The unwritten laws of piracy state that the losers of a Davy Back Fight have to join the winner’s crew, and someone as honorable as Whitebeard would likely feel compelled to respect that outcome regardless of his personal feelings.

Finally, One Piece chapter 1155 confirms that King Harald was a formidable fighter. He managed to match Xebec in a Haki clash, an absurd feat given the latter’s remarkable power. Leakers even implied that Harald and Xebec used Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, comparing their clash to the one between Whitebeard and Roger.

As of the time of writing this article, this remains speculation, but it would be fitting for Harald, the sovereign of the world’s strongest country, and Xebec, the man feared by the World Government enough to erase his name from history, to be among the few characters capable of wielding advanced Conqueror’s Haki.

That said, fans will have to wait a bit to learn more about these topics, as One Piece will be on a break next week. The manga will resume serialization the following week, around the beginning of August 2025.
