One Piece’s world is brimming with mystery over past events and characters who have left an indelible mark on the seas, whether pirates or Marines.
Rocks was also tied to the infamous God Valley incident, where the primary forces of the Marines, Rocks Pirates, Roger Pirates, and Celestial Dragons clashed. Although this is where Rocks met his end through the combined efforts of Roger and Garp, there are some theories that suggest that this is not the case, as they say he still lives on in some way. So, let’s take a look at how he may be one of One Piece’s most important characters.
Who Was Rocks D. Xebec?
The Leader of the Most Infamous Pirate Crew





First Mention: One Piece, Chapter 957, “Ultimate”
His Importance To The Greater Story
Why Rocks Is Still So Important to this Day

Blackbeard has always been connected to darkness and has always been a strange figure, even by One Piece standards, and this is mostly because of his unique body. Although it is currently a mystery, Blackbeard’s body is the subject of a lot of debate among fans, since it allows him to house multiple Devil Fruits within himself. A prevailing theory is that Rocks has something to do with this too.





If this theory about Rocks does end up being true and he has influenced Blackbeard’s journey and motivations for all this time, then it would undoubtedly prop him up as the series’ most evil and captivating antagonist. By making himself the center of a decades-old plan, Rocks may just be one of One Piece’s most important characters.
