One Piece Chapter 1155 dropped one mystery after another—but what caught everyone’s attention was the quiet, powerful return of a legend.
Rocks D. Xebec—the most feared pirate in history—might still be alive.
For decades, his name has haunted the shadows of One Piece’s world. Feared by the World Government, erased from records, and forgotten by time, Xebec once led the strongest pirate crew of the era. But Chapter 1155 suggests he may not be gone. In fact… his return could be near.
Rocks D. Xebec was the captain of the Rocks Pirates, a group that included future Yonko like Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom.
His goal was to become the King of the World—a dream so dangerous that the World Government considered him a terrorist. Sengoku once said that Rocks and his crew were openly hostile toward the Government, like a criminal army.
He was so powerful that even as a rookie, he killed a Marine Admiral. That says everything.
How strong is Rocks D. Xebec and is he a Devil Fruit user?

Rocks was one of the strongest pirates to ever exist. He was called Roger’s greatest rival, meaning he was likely stronger than Prime Whitebeard—and Whitebeard was equal to Roger.
He had an aura that could control Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom. That’s not normal. That’s extreme Conqueror’s Haki.
Some fans say Rocks had the Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit) before Blackbeard. If true, then Blackbeard might have inherited that power after Xebec’s death. But Chapter 1155 casts doubt on that death. We never saw his body. We never saw a clear ending.
Xebec once killed an Admiral. We know how strong Admirals are. That fact alone proves his insane power.
It’s not confirmed if he had a Devil Fruit, but the way he vanished from Holy Land and the way he fought… Oda definitely hinted at something more.

His sword style was terrifying. Every swing of his blade hit like a giant cannon or hammer, destroying everything in a wide area. When he fought King Harald in a duel at the Holy Land, their sword clashes destroyed everything within a 5 km radius—making it one of the most destructive sword fights in One Piece history.
And above all, he jumped directly from the Red Line—something no pirate has ever done. His character is both mythical and mysterious, like a mix of hero and villain.
What Did We See in One Piece Chapter 1155?

One panel shook fans the most: Rocks D. Xebec calmly sitting in front of Imu, with a gun in one hand, full confidence on his face, and saying—
“I’ll be back.”
That alone proves his level. Nobody enters the Flower Chamber and walks out alive. Even Sabo barely survived. But Xebec? He walked in and out like a boss.
His body language in that scene? Like a gangster. Aura-filled. Unafraid. Calm.
This is the first time someone entered Imu’s personal space and didn’t get erased. Maybe Imu allowed it for a reason. Maybe Imu knows that Rocks is needed… for something darker.
In Chapter 1155, the narrator calls Xebec a “Davy Jonesian Pirate.” That word “Davy Jones” was last mentioned 800+ chapters ago when Robin explained about a legendary pirate cursed by a demon and said to live deep under the sea.
Imu looked curious when hearing that name.
Was Xebec cursed? Did he survive under the sea? Is this Oda’s way of saying he’s not truly dead?
The narrator also says clearly: “Xebec has no chance against Imu-sama at this point.”
But if he had no chance… how did he escape alive?
Is Blackbeard Xebec’s Son?

In Chapter 1154, it was revealed that Blackbeard is the son of Rocks D. Xebec. Now everything connects:
- Blackbeard’s ship is named “Saber of Xebec.”
- In the Flower Chamber, Imu looks at posters of Luffy, Vivi, and Blackbeard.
- 40 years ago, something happened between Imu and Xebec that may still affect today.
If Xebec had the Yami Yami no Mi and it passed to Blackbeard, that may mean he truly died.
But the way Chapter 1155 is framed… fans aren’t so sure anymore.
It’s the perfect time to Bring Xebec Back Now, The Final Saga has started. Luffy has awakened Gear 5, Blackbeard is making his move, The World Government is starting to collapse And the final war needs chaos. Who better than the pirate who tried to destroy everything before Roger?
Maybe Blackbeard is his ideological heir, Maybe Rocks’s soul lives inside him And if Luffy has to surpass Roger, Rocks, and even Joy Boy, then bringing Xebec back makes sense. Because Joy Boy’s Haki defeated 3 Elders at once, and Luffy still has a long way to go.
🔥 Final Thoughts
Rocks D. Xebec was too dangerous to be forgotten—and now, it feels like he’s too important to stay dead. Oda has left a trail of clues.
Chapter 1155 might just be the beginning.
The return of Rocks D. Xebec could be the wild card that sets the final saga on fire.
