Rocks D. Xebec’s Final stand in One Piece Chapter 1164

One Piece Chapter 1164 starts with the creator revealing shocking news. Rocks D. Xebec believes that it was Davy Jones who was the king of the world. This is a huge detail revealed by Oda as it ties into the history of Void Century, and by connecting this news to the forgotten past till the rise of the World Government.
But before readers are given time to adjust to this news, the chapter dives right into the chaos of the God Valley Incident. Rocks fell under the influence of Imu’s Domi Reversi and began turning into a demon. Despite his strong willpower and attempts to resist, he eventually succumbed to the darkness.
One Piece Chapter 1164 showcases Rocks’ immense power, as even in his demonic state, he managed to retain fragments of his consciousness. Once the transformation was completed, he went on a rampage and seemed like Rocks unleashed hell upon God Valley.
In this scenario, he goes ahead and easily defeats both Big Mom and Kaido. Meanwhile, Whitebeard gave his best attempt to hold his ground as he managed to block an attack from Rocks, but the magnitude of this attack was so strong that it ended up destroying the left peak of God Valley.
The tragic order: “Kill Your Family”

The emotional weight of One Piece Chapter 1164 peaks when Imu orders Rocks to kill everyone on the island, including his own family. His wife and his son were the primary targets. This showed us how terrifying Imu's Domi Reversi truly is. Just before Rocks launched the attack on his family, Kuma entered the scene.
With the help of Paw-Paw fruit, Kuma uses the teleporting powers to save Eris and Teach. This revelation in One Piece Chapter 1164 reframes Blackbeard's past. It allows fans to understand why Blackbeard was described as an orphan when he joined Whitebeard’s crew.
While we do not know if Eris survived in the end, the fact that she escaped the dangerous attack opens a space for fans to come up with new theories. There could be a chance that she might be alive and living under a different identity.
The final battle: Roger and Garp vs. Xebec

As Rocks’ mission fails, his rage turns toward the island’s defenders. The climax of One Piece Chapter 1164 shows us the legendary showdown fans have been waiting for: Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp vs. Rocks D. Xebec.
This 2v1 battle mirrors what Sengoku described in Chapter 957, the moment when Garp and Roger joined forces to end Rocks’ reign of terror. However, the finale of this battle is emotional as Roger regains his sanity for a second and begs Roger and Garp to kill him before the darkness completely consumes him.
The aftermath: End of an era, birth of legends

With Rocks’ death, the Rocks Pirates officially disbanded in One Piece Chapter 1164. It marks the end of an era. As Eris and Teach had escaped, it could end up having long-term consequences. For instance, Imu would not want to let them go and decided to send the God Knights after them.
This could explain the lingering tension between the World Government and the descendants of the D clan. As the God Valley incident concludes, fans are expecting the story to shift back to the present time. From Xebec’s tragic transformation to Kuma’s heroic act and the fateful duel of legends, One Piece Chapter 1164 cements God Valley as one of the most defining moments in One Piece history.
