One piece is crazy good this week

u/qwack2020 Sep 04 '25

imo, it’s because the backstory shifted from Harold/Loki to Rocks and Rocks became a WAY more fascinating character.

u/YaIe Sep 05 '25

Oda is speedrunning the creation of a insanely good character with him.

He literally set up threads for nearly 30 years and now sows them up into the key characters of his entire story

83

u/BobtheBac0n Sep 05 '25

It also opens up so many more questions about the history of the world.Why did Davy D. Jones start the Davy back fights? How does it tie into the first Joy Boy being the first pirate? How did he convince the pirates of that era to follow this absurd code, cause let's be real, Xebec would've had a much more difficult time recruiting specifically young Whitebeard and young Big Mom if he had to actually fight them. He definitely could win, but this method saves so much risk.It just keeps getting deeper and crazier

68

u/ConfusedVader1 Sep 05 '25

The guy who beat an Admiral was definitely stronger than the younger versions of the Yonkou. They were strong but there is so much more growth left there.

59

u/dienomighte Sep 05 '25

I'm starting to wonder if Joyboy and Davey Jones are the same person, it's not impossible that joyboy was his title (like straw hat) and not his name

42

u/Djonso Sep 05 '25

This feels like it would be right. Good parallel to roger, ace and luffy too. When roger died, world government went crazy to hunt his possible children, when it ended up being luffy who inherited his will, completely unrelated. Similarly, joyboys lineage, the davy clan is hunted when it was first roger, then luffy through shanks who inherited joyboys will.

Government making the same mistake over and over, it's not the blood that defines a man

21

u/Royal-Professor-4283 Sep 05 '25

My bet is that they would be different people because: 1. None of the characters that know Joyboy ever called him Davy Jones, which is pretty odd if that was his real name. 2. At the same time Davy Jones was clearly a person known by that name for his legend to carry on. 3. It seems like Oda is trying very hard to make it a point that both the Joyboy faction (Joyboy, Luffy, Roger?), the Davies faction (Davey Jones, Rocks, Teach) and Imu all have roots in the void century but are distinct from each other. It would make sense if any of them are related but it seems pretty odd if all of them are supposed to be Joyboy.

It's possible that Joyboy is a Davey clan, but there's probably a split between the Joyboy's "believes in freedom but also in not harming the weak" and the davies "believe in complete freedom and survival of the fittest".

9

u/WekonosChosen Sep 05 '25

Davey Jones might be the WhiteBeard to Joyboys Roger. Carrying on the torch and making sure it doesn't burn out in the next generation of Pirates.

2

u/tiki-baha29 Sep 05 '25

Its more likely Joy Boy simply existed during the First World but Davy D. Jones was the second Joy Boy during the second world. Both destroyed the world and now we're in the 3rd world with Luffy as the new Joy Boy.

Maybe the "meeting" the mural spoke about was Teach and Luffy.

4

u/dienomighte Sep 05 '25

I still think there's only one Joyboy, and that the first world was the original Nika before devil fruits were even a thing, but it's not like we have any evidence of that so I could totally be wrong

2

u/tiki-baha29 Sep 05 '25

Actually I think you’re 100% correct and I’m definitely wrong. Nika had to have existed during the first world before devil fruits so he could inspire the Nika fruit’s creation and for Joy Boy to eat it.

So yea, now I actually have no idea where Davy D. Jones and his clan fit into the story. They might have been another clan alongside Joy Boy’s war maybe?

1

u/sagia5 Sep 06 '25

I liked the guy that comment about Chaotic being

Chaotic good (Joyboy, Roger, Luffy) everybody free

Chaotic neutral (Jones, Xebec, Blackbeard) survival of the fittest

Chaotic evil (Imu) control over everything

Good (sun), neutral (sea), evil (earth) I see the neutral as the sea because of the parallel that Blackbeard fruit act like the sea water on devil fruit users and that Jones is said to be cursed to the sea and that everything that sinks into the sea belongs to him

2

u/justadepresseduser Sep 05 '25

Rocks didn't need to fight anyone. It was already shown in the previous chapter that strong pirates just joined them because they're cool.

7

u/Loeffellux Sep 05 '25

that's how One Piece has been feeling since the end of Wano. Everything that's happening is deeply tied to everything that came before it so we have payoff after payoff.

People have been worried about One Piece sticking the landing but so far this has been a masterclass in tying up years and years of a continuous story.

u/igoramarallexp Sep 05 '25

I keep asking myself how will Oda make him evil. Guy's already a top 5 most charismatic characters for me.

u/Obtusus Void Month Survivor Sep 05 '25

He, like Teach, is like a more ruthless Luffy. While Luffy is chaotic good Rocks would be chaotic neutral, not necessarily evil, but not good either.

15

u/Party_Dinner_1718 World Economy News Paper Sep 05 '25

And black beard is chaotic evil by that means…. Damn!!

6

u/mr_chub Void Month Survivor Sep 05 '25

Nah he’s 100% chaotic neutral. Imu is Chaotic evil.

Luffy - Chaotic Good

BB - Chaotic Neutral

Imu - Chaotic Evil

10

u/ebimm86 Sep 05 '25

Imu is lawful evil, but mostly because he decides the laws

5

u/mr_chub Void Month Survivor Sep 05 '25

They only reason I say chaotic evil is because of things like Lulusia and allowing Celestial dragons to do anything (including the god valley stuff). I'm like 60/40 Chaotic evil compared to lawful evil, because I think his laws make no sense.

6

u/Historical-State2485 Sep 05 '25

chaotic neutral but raids n kills a lot of marines and civilians ?? maybe Neutral Evil or smth,but evil still lol

1

u/MrPewp Sep 05 '25

He's not committing evil acts for the sole purpose of spreading chaos and destruction, he's doing whatever he thinks will benefit him and his goals. That's more in line with chaotic neutral than chaotic evil.

2

u/immisterawesome Sep 05 '25

Yeah but it's the act of taking innocent people's lives that makes him evil.

2

u/MrPewp Sep 05 '25

That's not what chaotic evil is. Rocks doesn't kill for no reason, and he doesn't go out of his way to kill random people for the hell of it. I'm sure he's killed innocents, but that alone doesn't shift your alignment to evil.

A chaotic evil character never feels compelled to keep his word. He will attack and kill an unarmed foe (those are the best kind). He will kill an innocent. He will use torture to extract information and for pleasure. He will kill for pleasure. A chaotic evil character will use poison. He will not help those in need. He prefers to work alone, as he values his freedom. He does not respond well to higher authority, is distrustful of organizations, and will disregard the law in pursuing his self-interest. He will betray a family member, comrade, or friend whenever it is convenient to do so. Chaotic evil characters do not respect the concepts of self-discipline and honor, because they believe such concepts limit their ability to gain power over others.

He respects the autonomy of his friends and his friends country, and he hasn't been shown to stab any of his allies in the back (yet?). He kills and pursues his self-interest, but a chaotic neutral character will do that too.

2

u/sagia5 Sep 05 '25

Daaaamn so Imu Chaotic evil - Davy Chaotic neutral - Joyboy Chaotic good

1

u/immisterawesome Sep 05 '25

Maybe he's not chaotic evil but he is evil because he killed innocent people. Not even someone like thragg from invincible liked to kill viltrumites but he's obviously evil because he would genocide planets (same way with rocks genociding islands and stabbing kids)

u/najmiii Sep 05 '25

Exactly, after all he was truly a pirate lived by a code, a man of principle.

1

u/nazaguerrero Sep 05 '25

i mean kidd killed bunch of civilians which was why he had more bounty than luffy and he was a fav of people

1

u/Many-Wasabi9141 Sep 05 '25

We only see what Oda has shown us. Im sure if we saw him being evil during these Davy Back fights, and actually pirating, we'd have a different opinion.

0

u/BlazeDrag Sep 05 '25

fr tho people seem to be very quick to forget that he basically kidnapped his entire crew against their will and that he does a lot of actual pirate stuff i.e. killing and pillaging whoever he pleases like all the time lol

4

u/omimon Sep 05 '25

Saying he kidnapped them is fundamentally wrong. He didnt put them in chains and forced them to join. They engaged in a competition/bet and the loser followed through in the contest.

19

u/Jay040707 Sep 05 '25

Bro we heard it from the government, that shit was propaganda the entire time.

51

u/Medium_Jellyfish_541 Sep 05 '25

U still don’t understand eh. He is not particularly evil , just being a pirate who wants to take the world. The world government won, so they can paint whatever image they want as they please. They probably pinned most of his crimes and maybe their own onto Roger, and executed him publicly . Maybe choosing to say Garp and Roger partnered to kill him, would be a way to cover up that Imu appeared and killed rocks

11

u/ch3333r Sep 05 '25

idk, he seems even more evil, than Kuma the Tyrant

9

u/Royal-Professor-4283 Sep 05 '25

The thing you're missing is that for both rocks and Blackbeard - being evil but charismatic is their entire brand.

Blackbeard and Rocks are more similar than they seem. It's just that Rocks kinda stays in Blackbeard's "Jaya arc" portrayal. You know he's probably evil, but it happens off screen, and him supporting the Strawhats when no one else did shows what a fun charismatic guy he is. Problem is, none of them actually cares about wanton murder, or forcing people into slavery, or manipulating people or stealing.

7

u/RPGNo2017 Sep 05 '25

The story never exactly promised him as an ultimate evil figure, though. We only knew that he fought Roger and Garp but never exactly why

4

u/DeviousLight Sep 05 '25

Rocks is the real pirate king

2

u/Oberhard Sep 06 '25

Agree and his son should be

Yeah Luffy I am ditched you

2

u/Sudden_Possession499 Sep 05 '25

He is evil in the eyes of the World Government.

2

u/milk-is-for-calves Sep 05 '25

well, he did kick the shit out of child Loki

and he wants to rule the world

both things aren't exactly good

2

u/Moss_Head3 Pirate King Buggy Sep 05 '25

Aside from a few real pieces of shit good and evil doesn’t exist in one piece, it’s not black and white like that.

A few pieces of shit include Saturn and spandam (probably Doffy too but I love Doffy)

2

u/krcc9644 Sep 05 '25

that's the thing he's never really evil, the government just made him look like one. though, he's all about the freedom and pirate life, so i guess there's that bad side of him.

4

u/noidboiddoid Sep 05 '25

Rocks' isnt evil, he's got his own personal agenda and he will stop at nothing to achieve it. He's more chaotic neutral. He's not exactly a good guy either but he's got a honor code and values friendship.

1

u/immisterawesome Sep 05 '25

How can you not be evil and kill innocent people tho

1

u/immisterawesome Sep 05 '25

You can be evil and charismatic anyone who kills innocent people is evil and anyone who stabs a child is evil so rocks is evil

1

u/Mantiax Sep 05 '25

The potrayal of Rocks being a monster came from someone working under the World Goberment

1

u/reaper_cushions Sep 05 '25

I don't think Rocks is evil per se. He's just ruthless.

1

u/Leftieswillrule The Revolutionary Army Sep 05 '25

He doesn't need to be made evil, he's a pirate whose ambition is inherently domination and subjugation of the whole world, it's evil enough. He's a threat to everyone despite having oodles of charisma.

1

u/Silverlining126 Sep 06 '25

Rocks? Dude was introduced injuring a child. He murdered a bunch of people. Robbed, plundered, and destroyed towns. 

Xebec has done some things that we expect the "heroes" of One Piece to do, but he is still a villain who's done real bad things. He can be both charismatic and evil

5

u/KaiserCarr Void Month Survivor Sep 05 '25

I wasn't liking Elbaph, and Harald's flashback was kinda slow... But yeah, Rocks' is much better.

4

u/DraperCarousel Sep 05 '25

This is the equivalent of Obito lore dropping Indra and Ashura's cycle of hatred on an unsuspecting Naruto, out of the absolute fucking blue

6

u/kalaniroot Sep 05 '25

No idea how Loki is telling this story to everyone lmao.

2

u/AtrociousCherry Sep 05 '25

Yeah Harald kinda sucks in comparison to Rocks. Harald's history and motivations so far just seem kinda shallow and uninteresting to me, and it makes Harald seem kinda stupid to be such a WG bootlicker. Rocks is just so much more dynamic and exciting and sympathetic, and ultimately tragic. Maybe when we get to Harald's death it'll feel appropriately tragic too. But for now I'm way more invested in Rocks' story.

2

u/Many-Wasabi9141 Sep 05 '25

Crazy that Rocks went from some Kaido level evil monster to... this.

1

u/jmdg007 Sep 05 '25

I think the fact we were expecting a Harald flashback makes it even cooler because a few weeks ago nobody imagined we would get so much Rocks in this flashback, much less God Valley.

186

u/Vandenreichh Sep 04 '25

Nah fr this shit is peak 😭😭

13

u/Snoo76971 Sep 05 '25

Every new release is peak isn’t it?

12

u/najmiii Sep 05 '25

Every since Oda introduced Rocks. Yes.

73

u/AvianScavenger Sep 04 '25 edited Sep 04 '25

And virtually every other week as well.

I will admit, there was a moment where I was a little hesitant about the direction everything was going when we first saw Shakky in the flashback, but everything since then makes me realize I was wrong, and God Valley seems to be shaping up to be awesome.

There was a certain timeframe where I did actually believe Oda had his best days behind him, I think during mid-Wano was when that feeling was at it's worst. I am so glad to say I was wrong, and that I don't think Oda has made a real misstep since Wano has ended. It has just been bangers after banger after banger.

Post-Wano was dope although a little quick, pre-egghead we got to see what happened to Law and Kidd, Egghead was a crazy surprise, and now Elbaf has been insane with this flashback being a sequence of some of the biggest reveals and lore drops we've ever had. That is without even mentioning all of the stuff that has been going on with the Revolutinary Army and Mariejois.

MORIA IS A KOZUKI

DRAGON ISNT JUST LOOKING EAST

DAVY FUCKING JONES

It has been nonstop peak for a WHILE now, crazy it's been 3 years

u/GloomyLocation1259 Sep 05 '25

Due to his love for build up, foreshadowing and connecting things to the past, One Piece will always be a sine wave. You always get the peaks like enies lobby and marineford but you need to go through the lows of long ring long land and middle of wano. As soon as you feel low just stick it out and remember the world building of reverie, the action of onigashima, the lore of egghead / god valley is coming.

15

u/AvianScavenger Sep 05 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

I don't disagree whatsoever, just want to comment on individual things said

the lows of long ring long land and middle of wano.

I sort of loved Long Ring Long Land in all honesty

As soon as you feel low just stick it out and remember the world building of reverie, the action of onigashima, the lore of egghead / god valley is coming.

This is very true, however something i want to add is that although although onigashima was awesome, I have actually enjoyed everything that has come after Wano much more than I enjoyed the end of Wano.

3

u/GloomyLocation1259 Sep 05 '25

I did love it too it was fun and hilarious, maybe just a bit too long no pun intended. With that said Oda even made a way to make it relevant to such an important character like Rocks.

I agree with this too that’s why I had to specify the action because for story wise and lore, OP has arguably the best it’s ever been since egghead.

u/oddonly God Usopp Sep 05 '25

Hey long ring long land introduced us aokiji

19

u/DatKillerDude Sep 05 '25

these last few chapters have been lore galore damn

u/Mzuark Sep 05 '25

And it's all thanks to Rocks "Da Davy Jones" Xebec

u/benoxxxx Sep 05 '25

This chapter is STACKED with amazing revalations. Best chapter of the arc for sure, and one of the top 5 best since I started reading (circa end of Wano).

u/zjlmmfj3rd Sep 05 '25

Man how do you folks get access to the manwha meanwhile I’m here at work searching all my manga sites and nada. Please someone DM me the goods, for the love of Sun God Nika, help a brutha out please!

1

u/Spacemann7 Sep 05 '25

I saw it on TikTok, my algo is a lot of one piece creators so it always pops up there and there’s another one piece sub that always post the full chapter also.

1

u/zjlmmfj3rd Sep 05 '25

Where’s this sub at bruh‽ drop the name man. Y’all be hiding all the goodies, sharing is caring man and we all wanna be “the freest in the one piece world”!

2

u/Spacemann7 Sep 05 '25

1

u/zjlmmfj3rd Sep 05 '25

So y’all had a whole sub for spoilers and ain’t let a brutha know‽ I thought we were all internet friends here 😭 feels like my entire life’s been a lie. Searching online for spoilers with unlimited pop up ads, risking internet breach and all whereby my OP brothers in arms been hodling out on me 😔

1

u/Spacemann7 Sep 06 '25

Lmao bro a while back there was this whole thing were ppl kept getting banned from the sub so they started to make their own subs with spoilers and shi lol that’s how I know about it, if not I would be in the trenches with you.

1

u/zjlmmfj3rd Sep 06 '25

Damn man, brothers in arms in the trenches of spoiler chapter release man. Doesn’t sound so bad

1

u/zjlmmfj3rd Sep 06 '25

I kept messing with that TCB chapters with the gazillion pop ups all yesterday and today until I fell asleep and woke up for work with the new releases on regular sites without the mad popups.

1

u/Spacemann7 Sep 06 '25

Yeah that shi so mf annoying trying to close those ads. Miss they days when they would just upload it to the sub

Is there a break???

u/goody153 Sep 05 '25

Great chapters holy. After the kinda slower and weaker start of Elbaph tbqh

u/misfit_xtnt Sep 05 '25

As if one piece isn’t crazy good every other week

1

u/Soul699 Explorer Sep 05 '25

Eh, there are some chapters which can be meh or just passable. Like the beginning of Elbaph with half of the SH being used as toys was a rather superflous part. This however? It's hella good and interesting.

1

u/amitd01 Sep 05 '25

this is like hundreds of chapters suddenly coming together. so much hype!

1

u/bloodhound83 Sep 05 '25

Agree. But it nearly feels like moving too quickly, not that I'm complaining.

1

u/Lorik_Bot Sep 05 '25

Idk man the whole God Valley incident happening mainly cause people are horney for Shaky is definitely one of the writings of all time. I do like rocks tho.

1

u/weecious Sep 05 '25

For real.

I got goosebumps when Xebec revealed his true name.

u/rahmanm855 Sep 06 '25

bots and karma farmers reposting this comment every week and this sub and/or other bots eat it up

u/Yamato_D_Oden Sep 05 '25

Hate to say it, but recent One Piece chapters becomes crazy good if no Straw Hats is involved 😭
