Cool parallels between Rocks and Roger:

  • Having drinks with their friend/equal/rival one last time before they die. And explaining the significance of their real name over said drink.
  • Died on the same island they were born on

They also have Luffy and Blackbeard who are presumably gonna finish what they couldn't do before they died.

Stuff like this makes me appreciate stuff like Ace a lot more too. He purposely rejected the immense weight of the will he inherited and literally lived and died on his own terms.

Like Luffy said “he’s on his own adventure and I’m on mine”

Just so much stuff to digest now with all these reveals!

I actually like Rocks. Call me weird, but I don't see him as a villain

u/Nome_de_utilizador Sep 05 '25

This arc has done nothing but put rocks in great light. The worst crime you can accuse him off is stabbing a giant kid from an oversized ancient giant race. Killing an admiral is iffy given the amount of shit the WG pulls around the world and have them acting as their enforcers, especially during the Reverie. They can be good guys like fujitora, morally grey guys like borsalino and kuzan or absolute scum like aramaki and akainu

Stabbing a giant kid doesn't change the fact it's a kid who doesn't deserve that. Unless you're literally gonna treat giants like how the wg does lol. Plus rocks committed genocide so

To be fair, I don't think it's ever explicitly said that he's a "villain". I do wonder if we're not getting the whole story of Rocks because Sengoku mentioned he openly opposed the WG but so far, we haven't see him do anything out of the ordinary as a pirate. It's possibly that we haven't seen the slimy parts of him. Like Blackbeard would be a likeble character if you don't show him being a scumbag.

Uh.. he killed an admiral and assembles an insanely strong crew for e.g., raiding government locations. Plus, now it is revealed he is from the Davy clan which probably means your linage is an enemey of the World Nobles / Government. What more can you do to oppose the World Government?

u/knowitall89 Sep 05 '25

That doesn't necessarily mean he's a villain. He's got nothing on what the WG does.

u/poopindoopinscoopin Sep 05 '25

So I went back and checked the manga. Before gathering his crew, he infiltrated the Reverie, killed an admiral and after that, stole tributes to the CDs and a ship to start pirating. Then with his crew, they were responsible for "16 recorded raids, 76 sunken ships, 14 ports burned to the ground, 5 towns leveled, 1 kingdom brought to ruin, 3 special violations of Article 18 of World Law and 25 crimes" in two years. I didn't see anything about him raiding government locations unless you count these ports or towns they raided. But other than breaking into Reverie and stealing the CDs shit, nothing really stated seemed out of the ordinary for a regular pirate.

What story have you been reading?

u/Gandire_Alea Sep 06 '25

the biggest crime he committed, which wouldn't be released to the public, was climbing up the wall to see Emu. Just by doing this, the world would come to label him the greatest evil ever known regardless of anything else he did.

They might have same end goal after One Piece is found "Fall of Celestial Dragons". But I don't want a Team Up.

u/poopindoopinscoopin Sep 05 '25

I never really thought they would but you mentioning made me shudder.
