What do you think of when you hear of the Rocks Pirates. If you're
a one Piece fan, then you probably think of the most powerful crew that
ever existed. It took Goldie Roger to Parking himself peeming up with the marine
hero Garp, who by the way, earned his hero title in that battle,
to finally stop them. And even so, it was arguably their lack
of chemistry and camaraderie that led to their downfall, and not any lack of
strength. All the names of the members of the Rocks Pirates carry a lot
of weight. In fact, three of the former four Yanco where underlings in
this crew, and another Yanco named his pirate ship after Rocks Dzebec and all
that is just the tip of the iceberg. So make sure to stay tuned
since we'll be going deep into this the hypist of crews in the history of
One Piece. If you do enjoy these one Piece videos and want to keep

As mentioned, preregistration has begun for this epic game. So what are
you waiting for? Check out the game and pres now via my link below.
Now, let's start with some important background information about the crew before we
get into the individual members. Initially, people started panicking when Kaido and Big
Mom teamed up. The two Yanko teaming up led to warries of the return
of Rocks. However, at the same time, more than a few of
the Marine soldiers have never even heard of Rocks. According to Sengoku. Singoku
describes them as a collection of individuals who came together on Pirate Island years ago
to make one big score. They were a fierce bunch, constantly killing one
another within the group. In addition to the Captain Rocks, the Zebek,
they also featured a young Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido. Singoku makes
it clear though, that there were other Rocks members besides the tri Janko,
who went on to carve out a name for themselves, the Golden Lion,
the Silver Acts, Captain John Wangji, and Moore. The crew got along
so terribly that not one of the former members actually wants to tell the tale
of the Rocks Pirates. Singo Ku lets us know that the ambition of Captain
Rocks was to be king of the world and the crew open stell these directly
against the world government like some kind of terrorist organization. As the government tends
to do. It tried to cover up much of their deeds and to erase
them from history, but at the time everyone had heard of the threat they
posed. Thirty eight years ago, at an island called God Valley, the
Rocks Pirates, known as the strongest crew in the world, were wiped out.
According to the news reports, at least a rampaging force of evil that
none had been able to stop had been taken down by a Navy vice admiral
by the name of Garb. His name was heard across the world and he
was soon called a naval hero. So yes, his title Hero of the
Marines actually dates back to this incident. Sengoku lets us know that Garb never
wants to talk about this incident. One reason we're given, and this wasn't
reported, is that Garb had to work with pirates, and the other were
given is that he protected celestial dragons through his actions. So in order to
protect celestial dragons and their slaves at God Valley, Garb joined forces with Roger
himself there at the island, and together they broke apart the Rocks Pirate.
That is the God Valley incident as far as we know. Singoku goes on
to explain that you can't find god Valley on a map today and that it
vanished without a trace. Recently, we saw that Emosama can erase islands as
he did with Lulucia, so God Valley may have been erased in a similar
way. So because Rocks was so ambitious in his pursuits of being king of
the world, and he broke too many of the world's taboos and interesting detail,
there is no information in the public about the Rocks Pirates. I definitely
want to read that list of the taboos that Rocks broke. Singoku described Captain
Rocks, who led three of the four former Janko as Rogers first and perhaps
greatest foe. Rocks Dzebek is also one of those rare pirates with the D
initial. To be fair, Sengoku does say that thirty eight years ago Kaido
and Big Mom were nothing like they are now, implying that they've gotten considerably
stronger. This does make sense since Kaido was still only an apprentice pirate at
the time. However, white Beard thirty eight years ago was thirty six,
so I feel like that sort of makes up for Kaido and Big Mom being
younger at the time. Some other details to keep in mind are that the
rocks Pirate flag included a red skull with horns. It has also been described
as a burning skull, and in a flashback, people were in disbelief upon
hearing that the rocks Pirates lost, and some even said it wasn't Garp or
anyone else that overpowered them, it was just that they couldn't stand each other.
No teamwork in the group was blamed, and since the event is shrouded
in so much mystery, I think that's a ballad possibility, or at least
a contributing factor. Another detail that must be mentioned is that, despite not
a lot of people knowing about the rocks Pirates nowadays, Blackbeard chose to name
his ship the Saber of Zebek. So although Janko Blackbeard was only two years
old when the God Valley incident took place, it's clear that there is a
connection there. In one way or another, four Yanko are connected to Zebek,
and considering that Shanks was one year old at the time, of the
incident. He's not in the clear either. There have even been theories that
he could have been Zebek's son. But for now, it's enough to know
that three Yanko worked under him, and another chose to name his ship after
him, and the other members of his crew wereably no less special. So
whether people remember the Rocks Pirates or not, the legacy of the Rocks Pirates
is very much alive in the world of One Piece. In other words,
the past is not dead. It's not even passed. Now let's jump into
the nine known crew members. Number one, Choku, also called Wangxi in
the English translation, Wangji, was actually a famous Chinese pirate lord in our
world in the sixteenth century. He was credited for spreading European firearms throughout East
Asia and for his role in leading the first Europeans to reach Japan in fifteen
forty three. So the name alone carries weight. But in One Piece,
Wangxi is known as the previous ruler of Hachinosu aka Pirate Island, also known
as Full of Lead in the English translation, Pirate Island is famous. As
mentioned, it was where the Rocks Pirates met, So you know, you
got to be capable to rule over such a famous hub for pirates. Black
Beard overthrew him. But that's not the surprising part. We know black Beard
has become a powerhouse and is a sliver away from passing Shanks and becoming the
current giango with the highest bounty. Even Dark King Silver's Raeli himself said he'd
lose nowadays against Blackbeard, so it's not shocking that he'd take Pirate Island from
Wangxi. The shocking part is actually that he needed help. It happened during
the Rocky Port incident, which happened during the time skip it was perpetrated by
law. Most of the details about the incident are unknown. What we do
know, though, was that Kobe became famous for being the hero who saved
civilian lives in the Rocky Port incident. Furthermore, Blackbeard mentioned that Kobe helped
him out in that incident. He says it was thanks to Kobe that he
was able to topple Wangji and make himself the boss of Pirate Island. So
to me, this hypes up Wangji, who is clearly a legend from old
times, and yet Blackbeard still needed a marine's help in taking him down.
And of course, when one member of the Rocks Pirates is hyped up the
whole crew is as well. Keep that in mind as we move forward.
On a side note, how crazy is it that Oda can build up so
much hype around an event that didn't even involve our main characters. If he
ever came out with a side story that followed this incident from beginning to end,
I would be all over it. But anyways, that's all we know
about Wangji so far, along with the fact that he was singled out by
Sengoku along with pirates like Shiki and Captain John as being worth mentioning number two
Captain John. Captain John went on to form his own crew after the Rocks
Pirates and is notable for his legendary treasure collection. He's decease now, but
Janko Buggy is desperate to find his fabled treasure cave and the riches within,
Aside for the one Piece itself, which we still don't know the nature of.
This is the most hyped treasure in one piece and one that Buggy or
Nami would no doubt be thrilled to find. After his death, John's corpse
was sought after by doctor Hogback because he was seen as being worthy enough to
become one of the general zombies for Geko Moria. Captain John's animated corpse makes
quite the sight, as he has two swords stuck in his stomach from when
he died. I'd love to get his backstory in manga form as well.
Luckily, in an sps DA did reveal at least part of his history.
Captain John was described as being greedy and to the point that his own crew
declared mutiny and killed him for it. The dude wanted to keep his large
amount of treasure for himself and not to split it with his crew, so
you can guess why they would be upset still despite being taken down by multiple
stab wounds at a chest. Since he was sought after for the zombie general
position, it can be assumed that he was a strong pirate in life.
Notably, Lufy found John's armband among Maria's riches, not knowing it was a
map to John's treasure. Eventually, he gave it to Buggy for the clown
y uncle's assistance. So Buggy may well be the one to find Captain John's
legendary loot. In fact, he previously thought it was on an island with
a skull on it, but they didn't end up finding it. However,
another island with a skull on it is Pirate Island, where the Rocks Pirates
were formed and where Blackbeard currently rules. So it could be that Captain John's
treasure is there and what the armband Buggy may even know it now, but
the fact that Blackbeard is on the island has prevented him from getting it so
far. Number three Silver Acts. For now, we don't know much about
Silver Acts aside from the fact that he was singled out by Single who as
a member who carved out a name for himself, along with the Golden Lion,
Captain John, and Wangxi. Still based on the company, we can
assume he'll be brought up again in the story and we'll figure out why he
was worth mentioning here for now, though he's easily the member we know the
least about. However, it speaks a lot that he could survive in this
crew of monsters where killing each other was the norm. It's actually quite similar
to how Blackbeard fit the most dangerous Level six prisoners against each other in order
to recruit those strong enough to survive. But more on that later. Number
four Buckingham Stussy aka Miss bucking Recent events in the manga, as we'll get
into, have definitely served to hype up her character. At first, we
knew her as this old, oddly shaped lady who was obsessed with white Beard.
She was thirty eight at the time of the God Valley incident and now
she's seventy six. She claims that her thirty five year old son and former
warlord Weevil, was fathered by Whitebeard. This would mean that even if they
met while being on the Rocks Pirates together, it was around two years after
the God Valley incident that they would have conceived Edward we Will aka Whitebeard Junior.
Honestly, as time goes on, I'm starting to believe Stussy's claims more
and more. I mean, from the beginning, it can be argued that
Wevil's mustache doesn't lie. His hair is also the same blonde color as white
beards well was back in the day. However, we also find out that
Stussy is a self styled scientist and is labeled by the narrator as a Mad's
freeloader. Notably, MADS was an illegal scientific research institute led by Vegapunk.
This connection does suggest that Weavil might have been created in an unorthodox in scientific
way while using Whitebeard's jeans. However, it was recently revealed that CP zero's
agent Stussy is a clone of Miss bucking and it must be said, if
Miss Buckin used to look like her, which is the implication, it's not
hard to believe that Whitebeard would have succumbed to her advances. I mean,
we've already seen that Sangi definitely would have. Now from the looks of her
clone, we can assume that Miss Buckin wasn't just attractive, but used to
be a force to be reckoned with as well. We've seen her clone take
out Lucie Acaku effortlessly. Yes, she used c stone lipstick to help incapacitate
them, but still it's impressive she succeeded in taking to awakened zone users out
like that. The clone also has vampire like wings and appears to suck blood,
which in turn appears to drain victims of their energy and causes them to
lose consciousness. This suggests that she might have some sort of vampire or,
according to my comment section succubus fruit. Of course, as we saw with
the saraphims It's possible that the clone doesn't have the fruit, but they just
added these fruitlike powers to her because Miss Bucking had the fruit. If this
were the case, then Miss Bucking could have had these powers while on the
Rocks crew, which would help explain how she survived in a crew full of
monsters. Of course, it's possible that as an attractive woman, she was
protected by white Beard or Rocks, but I think she could hold her own.
After all, If she couldn't, why would they choose to clone her.
Maybe she wasn't as physically strong, but her clones suggests that she more
than made up for this by being strategic and ready to fight dirty against powerful
men. So although Marco doesn't fully buy the fact that she was white Beard's
lover, I'm believing it more and more. Not only was it nice seeing
we will protect his father's hometown. In chapter one seventy three, Stussy said
Begapunk could prove that her son and white Beard are related. We will before
Admiral Green will help capture him. Was said to have monstrous strength, which
bodes well for him being the strongest man in the world's son. Either way,
this is a very interesting story threat, and I hope Marco will accept
Weevil as Whitebeard's son eventually and help rescue him from the Marines. Stussy is
also determined for Wevill to inherit the late Whitebeard's fortune, while we Will really
acts like a proud son unlike Ace, and not only protected his father's hometown
at great personal cost, he also proclaimed, with tears in his eyes,
that he would kill Blackbeard for killing his father. Well, it was Stussy
who told him that vengeance was foolish and that what they need is money.
Number five Captain Rocks himself. It's hard to talk about the Rocks Pirates without
covering the Captain, so we went over a lot about him already while we
were discussing the crew as a whole. As mentioned, he wanted to become
king of the world. He somehow got all of these monstrous people to follow
him as their ruler, and he was no doubt strong, and not just
the figurehead. We know this because when Kaido thought of the few people that
could challenge him in strength, he thought of Odin Whitebeard, Roger Shanks,
and of course Captain Rocks himself. The great question is what happened to Rocks.
The Zebek. Could a guy who could not only survive in a crew
like the Rocks Pirates, but even rule over it actually be killed at God
Valley or did he survive. One intriguing theory is that he succeeded in becoming
king of the world and is actually I Musama controlling things behind the scenes.
Another popular theory is that he could be Dragon's biological father. This would mean
that Garpe is Lufy's maternal grandfather, and that Dragon adopted his wife's last name
like Ace adopted his mother's. Then there's a possibility that Shanks could be a
son, or the possibility that Blackbeard is in some way his successor, whether
that be in philosophy or in a more specific and scientific way. I personally
feel like Rocks could have been the previous Dark Dark Fruit user, and that's
one of the reasons Blackbeard wanted it so bad. And yes, I just
mentioned a lot of theories and all of them may be off the mark,
but as fans, we can't help but obsess over such a legendary yet miss
serious figure who was strong enough to rule over so many powerful and legendary pirates.
He had his own era before the Rise of the Pirate King. I
mean, imagine how strong you must be in order to make Marine Hero Garp
willing to team up with pirates in order to defeat you. Considering all this,
it's not at all surprising that Sengoku said Rocks could have been Roger's greatest
foe. And if Rocks truly died back there at God Valley, then it
begs the question would he have successfully toppled the existing world order if Roger and
Garp didn't thwart his attack against the celestial Dragons? Chances are he would have,
and that begs the question why did Garpe, who doesn't like celestial dragons
save them? Can't wait to find out, But for now, let's move
on to number six, Shiki the Golden Lion. Even though he was a
subordinate in this crew, Shiki was also great enough to be considered one of
the Pirate King's greatest rivals. When confronted with Shiki and his fleet, Buggy,
despite being on Roger's crew, begged for Roger to give Shiki what he
wanted. Hike even wanted Roger to be his right hand man. This clash
between the two legends ended up being known as the Battle of ed War.
Shiki had the largest pirate fleet around at the time, and Roger was in
a desperate situation and was only saved by raging weather. And even though the
weather caused half of shiki ships to sink, the battle was still declared a
draw, showing how even a subordinate of Rocks could later do this well with
his own crew against the future pirate king. During this battle, Shiki got
the iconic wheel stuck in his head. Shiki was so mad when he heard
Roger was captured later that he went to free him. It took Sengoku and
Garb to stop him, and the three fought until Marine Ford was half destroyed,
and he still turned out to be fine afterwards. Then two years later,
Shiki broke out of impel Down by cutting off his own feet. In
other words, he did what Zoro was prepared to do, but to be
fair, it did make more sense for Shiki, who has the float fruit,
which allows him to make himself in non living things he comes into contact
with levitate. He can make big ships or vast island areas float, and
even make a large amount of water float around someone in order to drown them.
Raley takes note of him escape from impelled down, and then Shake even
goes to visit fellow former Rocks Pirate member Whitebeard. He proclaims that this is
white Beard's age now, but Shiki will lie low for a while and then
show people what a real pirate is like. Shiki felt convinced that with Rogers
helped that two of them could have conquered the world together, like his captain
Rocks wanted to do. The movie with him is non Cannon, so we
won't focus on that here, but we'll see if he appears again in the
main Cannon story. Either way, the dude is yet another legendary figure of
one Piece up there with Roger and Whitebeard, and as such he really serves
to hype up the Rocks Pirates, and even more so to hype up their
leader, who he too at one point served under number seven Whitebeard. And
so we've arrived at the final three members of this legendary crew, the three
future Yanko or past Janko, depending on how you look at it. Yes,
white Beard too, the man whose heir or Shiki said it was the
man called strongest in the world, and the man said to be closest to
one Piece, also one served Rocks as a member of the Rocks Pirates.
He was thirty six years old at the time of the God Valley incident.
He too was considered one of Roger's greatest rivals. Like Rocks and Shiky and
Man, I gotta say Roger had some crazy rivals. Makes sense for the
pirate king, I guess. After Roger died, white Beard was left with
the highest bounty at five point zero four six billion, which also happens to
be the second highest bounty of any pirate in history. White Beard possessed the
Gurda Guda nom aka the tremor. Tremor fruit. Would have stated that this
fruit was the strongest paramesia of fruit. Singoku proclaims at one point that with
this devil fruit, white Beard has the power to destroy the world. The
power lets white Beard produce shockwaves that can travel through practically anything air, water,
and land. The shockwaves can cause tsunamis and earthquakes. The shockwaves can
be unpredictable, so allies have to be cautious around the user and not get
in his way. White Beard was able to split an island and have creating
a giant chasm to separate the pirates on one side from the Marines on the
other. He uses the power to destroy the Navy headquarters, but the power
is not limitless. The Navy has created walls stronger than steel that won't shatter.
As a result of the Guda Gurda no White Bear can create by rations
around himself to protect himself as well. Because of this ability, al Kigi
can't freeze him. White Bear can concentrate his power into a small orb or
quake bubble around his hand to increase its power. He can create contained but
powerful explosion type attacks. He used this attack to beat a giant Vice admiral.
With one blow, he destroyed his helmet like it was nothing. He
can surround his spear with a quake bubble and use it to extend its reach.
He can mow down enemies far away in this fashion. Perhaps the most
intriguing power is white Beard's ability to grab the air and pull it. By
doing this, he tilted the entire battlefield that Marine Ford. Notably, when
white Beard was younger and stronger, his hockey was strong enough to match that
of the Pirate Kings without even touching. The clash of hockey alone created insanely
strong winds, and I haven't spoken about Conquerors Hockey yet because not a lot
is known about a lot of the Rocks Crew members, but I wouldn't be
surprised if the Rocks Pirates had the most Conquerors Hockey users in one crew.
Ever, we know Whitebeard possess Conquerors Hockey, same with Big Mom and Kaido,
and it's hard to believe that they were the only ones in the star
studded crew. Even though it hasn't been confirmed. Rocks Zebek has to be
a user of Conquerors Hockey, or at least I'd like to think so if
he could rule over so many Conquerors Hockey users. White Beard did eventually die
at seventy two years old, while like a true boss he remained standing.
Nonetheless, he was old and six, so despite how impressive he was a
Marine Ford, we should keep in mind that this was not white Beard in
his prime. Number eight Big Mom. Big Mom was thirty years old during
the God Valley incident, but even at twenty four years old, she was
a member of the famous Rocks Crew. This is actually when she met a
fifteen year old Kaido, who was teaming up with the crew for the first
time. She comes off as a sort of protective big sister figure to him,
since at one point she said for him to just tell her if he
has any trouble. Kaido also remembers her saying she was going to be king
of the sea. According to Big Mom, Kaido isn't debted to her.
She gave him his epic mythical zone fruit back during the God Valley incident.
Anyways, the now sixty eight year old Big Mom ak Charlotte Linlin as a
Yanko, clashed evenly with the so called strong screen in the world. At
the time Kaido her own bound he was four point three eight eight billion berries.
But I can't see it staying the same after her defeat to lawing Kid,
Big Mom and discoes for Kayto two definitely doesn't come off as calculating and
patient as someone like Black Bear does. She has been known to destroy entire
countries over sweets. Almost everyone, including her own children, fears her when
she's angry. She was born powerful rather than trying to become powerful. When
she was five, she accidentally killed a large bear by smacking it. She
even broke the bones of a giant by trying to slap a Mosquito. Her
overpoweredness seemed more like an annoyance than a goal, at least in the beginning.
Even as a kid, she could break a skilled giant sword with her
fist and then defeat him. I could keep going, but you get the
point. She's very, very strong, and she was so from the beginning.
Her double fruit is a paramesia type called soto soto no me, a
gay soulful fruit. The fruit allows her to take the soul of whoever she
touches and take years away from their lifespan. Obviously, if she takes enough
years, the victim will die right then and there. The ability is super
overpowered on paper, but there is a loophole. If you have no fear
of death, you will not be affected by the devil fruit powers. Thus,
if you want to even hope to stand a chance against her, you
better have self mastery over yourself and your fear. She can also put souls
into inanimate objects or animals. These newly anthropomorphized beings are known as homies,
and you could see them all around total Land. It's not worthy that Big
Mom cannot put souls into corpses or other people. The fruit can also produce
little incarnations of pure soul that go around collecting and distributing souls for Big Mom.
Big Mom used parts of her soul to create three special homies later for
as we'll see that are far more powerful than the rest. These homies include
Zeus, the thundercloud and is summoned by her left hand, Prometheus, the
Sun that is summoned by her right, and Napoleon, who takes the form
of Big Mom's hat. The Sun can create flames, the cloud can create
lightning bolts, and together they can manipulate the weather. It should be noted
that recently Zeus, who's been more associated with Nami as of late than Big
Mom, has been replaced by a new thundercloud homie called hera Big Mom's hat
can turn into a blade that she can wield and that can move an attack
by itself can also relay information to her that it receives from the other homies.
Homies like clouds can be written on and allow Big Mom to travel at
high speeds. Prometheus can also engulf Napoleon in flames, increasing the power of
the sword. Furthermore, the sword can release powerful destructive shock waves. Most
recently during her fight against Lawing Kid she used a year of her own lifespan
to increase her power even further. She gets even bigger, more godlike as
she dominates the panel compared to the now insect looking kid in Law. It's
an ace in the hole that she doesn't use often, but as she mentioned,
it has been decades since she's felt pain like the pain Kit and Law
delivered to her, so she feels it's warranted. She also uses the Master
Saver combination of Prometheus, Hera, and Napoleon to create Misery and even more
powerful Homie. The Giant Powerful Homie can fly around quickly while launching fire or
lightning attacks. In short, Big Mom in her powers are definitely larger than
life. The Big Mom can also use Conquerors hockey as mentioned, however,
to combine awakened powers of lawing Kid were just too much for her. I
don't think she's dead, but she was defeated, and in a sense,
her fight was less fair than Kaido's because she was double teamed, while Kaido
at least at the end, was fighting a one on one fight. Number
nine Rocks Apprentice Pirate Kaido as covered. Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates at fifteen
years old, it was actually white Beard who invited him to join the crew
after witnessing Kaido overpowering other pirates on Pirate Island. Then he'd meet Big Mom,
who would become a protective older sister to him. During the God Valley
incident, Kaido was twenty one, and this was when Big Mom gave him
the uh uh no me model savu aka the Fisher's fruit model a zuur dragon.
More on the mythical fruit in a bit. Even before the Rocks Pirates
stove, Like Big Sis Big Mom, Kaido stood out as being monstrously strong.
At ten, he was the strongest soldier of the Vodka Kingdom. Kaido
was so strong and confident in himself that he'd let himself be caught by the
marines so that he could eat their food, and then he'd escape again when
he felt like it. More recently, the fifty nine year old man was
referred to as the strongest creature in the world, at least he was before
he fell to Janko Lufy. His bounty was four point six one one billion
berries, meaning he had the highest known bounty of any living character before he
was defeated by Lufy. People often used to say that if it's a one
on one battle, Kaido will win. When white Beard was alive, Kaido
actually tried to attack him, but Shanks interfere. Clearly, Kaido was not
only strong, but brave as well. Brave enough to go after white Beard,
that is. But how Shanks got him to turn around? Has he
yet to be revealed? He was first introduced to us as a man searching
for a place to die. We are told that he's been caught by the
navy or enemy ships no less than eighteen times. But now at least we
know that some of those times, if not all of them, he was
looking for food. He was tortured time and time again, we're told,
and lived as a prisoner. When they tried to hang him, the rope
snap. When they put him under the guillotine, the blade cracked. Then
he attempted to take his own life by jumping off from Sky Island, but
he survived. Not even Kaido could take down Kaido. That's how invincible he
seemed. And as with Big Mom, I think he's still alive, but
more on that later. Anyways, I don't know if there's been a better
introduction to an Opie character than this. Kaido isn't strong because he wants to
be. He practically viewsed his overpoweredness as an annoyance, which is pretty hilarious.
He has a reputation for being unable to die despite his best efforts.
The first fight against Kaido and Lufy was a significant one. We are used
to protagonists fighting, struggling, but ultimately overcoming their opponents. However, this
is not what happens during this first fight. Lufy hits Kaido with many attacks
and Kaido is ultimately not hurt by it. Then Kaido hits Lufy with his
club once and Lufi is out cold. It's refreshing to see that pure willpower
isn't enough to overpower a strong opponent. Sometimes it doesn't happen often and shown
in manga, but Kaido was able to brutally embarrass or shown in Protagonists,
and that shows how strong and special he was. It took Lufy mastering a
higher level of hockey, specifically the ability to omit hockey rather than just coding
his body and hockey and awakening his godfruit to finally beat Kaido. And again,
I don't think he's dead, but he was definitely defeated. Some people
even say that Kaido took a bunch of damage beforehand, and that's the only
reason Lufy won. I'm not of that opinion personally, but it's true that
he did take damage from the scabbards, Yamato, Zoro and so on before
Lufy event she beat him with his awakened fruit. Now let's get into Kido's
della fruit, which is definitely one of my favorites. It's a mythical zone
type fruit. As mentioned, it's called the ul No meat model save You
aka the fish for Fruit model, a zor dragon. As a fish for
fruit, it raises huge questions like was Kaido unable to end himself because he
could even breathe in the sea, even if he may have been paralyzed like
other fruit users. Also, if you didn't know, the reason Kydo looks
like a dragon despite having the fish fish fruit is because it's based on the
dragon gate myth, where if a carp made it up nearly and impossible to
climb waterfall, it would become a dragon think magic Harp and Garrodose from Pokemon.
The fruit allows him to transform into a giant and I mean giant blue
Eastern dragon. He also has a hybrid form that he seems to use most
often during the course of an intense battle. He can shoot heat blast from
his dragon mouth that can cause devastating damage. He can create slices of wind
that can cut off limbs, tornados, lightning, and even hail in the
video games. His Ace in the Whole is a technique that allows him to
surround his whole dragon body and fire so that he melts everything that comes into
contact with him. The only known way to beat him in this case is
through hockey mastery. If Lufy couldn't admit his hockey, he would have had
to touch Kaido with his final attack, in which case he would have certainly
lost due to the intense heat. We also saw Kaido clashing with fellow Janko
Big Mom. As with Lufy, they both use Conquerors hockey. When Kaido
and Big Mom clash, the heaven split open, just like when white Beard
and Shanks clashed. That sort of seems like a sign of Yanko hood when
you can do that against the fellow Yanko. Interestingly enough, Kaido and Big
Mom seemed to be pretty evenly matched in their battle. They eventually decided to
team up together and take over the world so in a way, they wanted
to finish what Rocks started. You see that wish to take over the world,
and quite a few rocks Pirates it definitely seems to be a common theme
and desire in the crew. After that, these two planned to finish their
fight to the death. However, as we saw, they were defeated by
the combined forces of Lufy lawing Kid before that could happen. So, as
you can see, a lot of rocks Pirates members came to power even after
the crew was disbanded. Now some have fallen, like Kaido, white Beard
and Big Mom, and yet the Rocks Pirates remain of it. Literally.
Just recently, as of writing this, it came out that Stussy, who's
very relevant in the story right now, is a clone of the rocks Pirate
member who herself is relevant now after her son got taken hostage by Greenville.
Weevil is like a rocks Pirates child himself, since he seemingly came from two
members of the crew, while others are probably connected in ways to the legendary
crew that we still don't understand. At the very least would have made it
clear that Blackbeard is carrying on the Rocks way you can see this and not
only his ship being called the Saber of Zebec, but as mentioned in the
way, he also prioritized the strength of his crew members and encouraged them to
kill each other so only the strongest would join his crew. And after going
over all of these characters and their incredible feats and powers, I hope everyone
listening can fully appreciate how powerful the Rocks Pirates were, and specifically how powerful
Rocks the Zebek must have been the man who ruled over all of these legendary
monsters. If you're curious about his successor, Blackbeard, and want to learn
more about their connection, then you don't want to miss my all sixteen Black
