Miss Buckingham Stussy, renowned as a formidable pirate and self-proclaimed scientist, was officially identified as a member of the infamous Rocks Pirates, prominently displaying her exceptional might during the God Valley Incident.
Captain John, an illustrious figure in the pirate world, embarked on his journey within the series as a crewmate of the fearsome Rocks Pirates, demonstrating his extraordinary prowess.
The Rocks Pirates, known as one of the most formidable pirate crews in the One Piece world, once dominated the seas around 40 years ago. Their influence extended far and wide, surpassing even the territories currently controlled by the Four Emperors. Their power was so immense that even the World Government was cautious of their members.
Recently, in the One Piece series, the God Valley Incident has shed light on the enigmatic Rocks Pirates and their extraordinary members. While some individuals were already known to be affiliated with the crew, this incident unveiled additional pirates who were unexpectedly part of their ranks.
9. Wang Zhi
Wang Zhi is a mysterious pirate, with little known about his background. However, it is well-known that he possessed great power during the old era. He was a prominent member of the Rocks Pirates and fans were finally introduced to him in One Piece chapter 1096 when he arrived on God Valley island.
Interestingly, it has been confirmed that Wang Zhi survived the God Valley Incident. He subsequently seized control of Pirate Island and maintained his power over this significant stronghold for several decades. It was only two years ago that Blackbeard, aided by Law and Koby, successfully toppled Wang Zhi and took over the island, resulting in Blackbeard being recognized as one of the Emperors of the Sea.
8. Miss Buckingham Stussy
Miss Buckingham Stussy had long been suspected of being a member of the infamous Rocks Pirates. This suspicion was confirmed in One Piece chapter 1096, when fans witnessed her presence firsthand.
During the God Valley Incident, Miss Buckingham Stussy arrived on the island of God Valley. Even at that time, she exhibited considerable strength as a pirate and referred to herself as a scientist. Through the present-day Stussy, fans can now better comprehend the extent of her power.
7. Captain John
Captain John, a renowned member of the Rocks Pirates, is regarded as one of the legendary pirates within the One Piece universe. His presence in God Valley, as showcased in One Piece chapter 1096, signifies his official introduction in the series. Known for his immense power, Captain John is spoken of with the same level of reverence as other iconic figures in the One Piece world.
6. Gloriosa
Gloriosa, one of the former Empresses of Amazon Lily, has made a surprising entrance into the ranks of the Rocks Pirates. While fans were aware of her departure from Amazon Lily some time ago, they were unaware of her connection to the renowned pirate group.
Chapter 1096 of One Piece confirmed Gloriosa's affiliation with the Rocks Pirates, solidifying her status as a legendary figure.
5. Kaido
Fans are aware that Kaido was also a member of the Rocks Pirates. Despite his young age 38 years ago, he ventured to God Valley and actively participated in the God Valley Incident, demonstrating his formidable fighting skills.
During this event, Big Mom bestowed upon him a formidable Devil Fruit, which she had acquired by taking it from Ivankov.
4. Shiki
Shiki, a formidable subordinate of Rocks, makes his long-awaited appearance at God Valley in One Piece chapter 1096. He later rises to become an immensely strong pirate, capable of standing against renowned figures like Roger.
Though Shiki may not have possessed overwhelming strength during the God Valley Incident due to his youthfulness, his formidable abilities were sufficient to earn him a place among this accomplished crew of pirates.
3. Charlotte Linlin
Charlotte Linlin, a formidable member of the Rocks Pirates, had joined the crew many years ago. She played a significant role in the God Valley Incident and was considered one of its key figures. Additionally, she acted as a protector for Kaido for an extended period, as she confirms herself.
Considering her unharmed state following the conclusion of the God Valley Incident, it is probable that Big Mom fought exceptionally well during the event. Furthermore, she was responsible for bestowing Kaido with his Devil Fruit.
2. Edward Newgate
Edward Newgate, famously known as Whitebeard, was undeniably one of the most formidable figures within the ranks of the Rocks Pirates. Despite potentially being past his prime during his tenure with the crew, Whitebeard's strength remained unparalleled. In One Piece chapter 1096, fans catch a glimpse of him in God Valley, although his specific involvement remains undisclosed.
1. Rocks D. Xebec
Without a doubt, Rocks himself stood as the most formidable member of the Rocks Pirates during the God Valley incident. Considered a legendary pirate, he is widely believed to have been the greatest challenger that Roger ever encountered.
His overwhelming power forced Roger and Garp to unite their forces in order to defeat him, a testament to the extent of his threat. Despite his undeniable presence at God Valley, fans have not had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of him, not even in the form of a flashback.
