1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560 What do you think of when you hear of the Rocks Pirates. If you're 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,040 a one Piece fan, then you probably think of the most powerful crew that 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,560 ever existed. It took Goldie Roger to Parking himself peeming up with the marine 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,400 hero Garp, who by the way, earned his hero title in that battle, 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,079 to finally stop them. And even so, it was arguably their lack 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,359 of chemistry and camaraderie that led to their downfall, and not any lack of 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,399 strength. All the names of the members of the Rocks Pirates carry a lot 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,160 of weight. In fact, three of the former four Yanco where underlings in 9 00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:36,320 this crew, and another Yanco named his pirate ship after Rocks Dzebec and all 10 00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,119 that is just the tip of the iceberg. So make sure to stay tuned 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,240 since we'll be going deep into this the hypist of crews in the history of 12 00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,159 One Piece.

Check out the game and pres now via my link below. 32 00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:06,480 Now, let's start with some important background information about the crew before we 33 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:10,039 get into the individual members. Initially, people started panicking when Kaido and Big 34 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,800 Mom teamed up. The two Yanko teaming up led to warries of the return 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,560 of Rocks. However, at the same time, more than a few of 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,680 the Marine soldiers have never even heard of Rocks. According to Sengoku. Singoku 37 00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:24,719 describes them as a collection of individuals who came together on Pirate Island years ago 38 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,439 to make one big score. They were a fierce bunch, constantly killing one 39 00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,840 another within the group. In addition to the Captain Rocks, the Zebek, 40 00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:37,400 they also featured a young Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido. Singoku makes 41 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,120 it clear though, that there were other Rocks members besides the tri Janko, 42 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,639 who went on to carve out a name for themselves, the Golden Lion, 43 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,719 the Silver Acts, Captain John Wangji, and Moore. The crew got along 44 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,159 so terribly that not one of the former members actually wants to tell the tale 45 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,879 of the Rocks Pirates. Singo Ku lets us know that the ambition of Captain 46 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,879 Rocks was to be king of the world and the crew open stell these directly 47 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:05,439 against the world government like some kind of terrorist organization. As the government tends 48 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:07,719 to do. It tried to cover up much of their deeds and to erase 49 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,680 them from history, but at the time everyone had heard of the threat they 50 00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:15,360 posed. Thirty eight years ago, at an island called God Valley, the 51 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:19,680 Rocks Pirates, known as the strongest crew in the world, were wiped out. 52 00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:23,719 According to the news reports, at least a rampaging force of evil that 53 00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:27,919 none had been able to stop had been taken down by a Navy vice admiral 54 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,599 by the name of Garb. His name was heard across the world and he 55 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,479 was soon called a naval hero. So yes, his title Hero of the 56 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,240 Marines actually dates back to this incident. Sengoku lets us know that Garb never 57 00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:43,599 wants to talk about this incident. One reason we're given, and this wasn't 58 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:46,120 reported, is that Garb had to work with pirates, and the other were 59 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,879 given is that he protected celestial dragons through his actions. So in order to 60 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,919 protect celestial dragons and their slaves at God Valley, Garb joined forces with Roger 61 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,960 himself there at the island, and together they broke apart the Rocks Pirate. 62 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:02,879 That is the God Valley incident as far as we know. Singoku goes on 63 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:06,360 to explain that you can't find god Valley on a map today and that it 64 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:11,360 vanished without a trace. Recently, we saw that Emosama can erase islands as 65 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,199 he did with Lulucia, so God Valley may have been erased in a similar 66 00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:17,959 way. So because Rocks was so ambitious in his pursuits of being king of 67 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,920 the world, and he broke too many of the world's taboos and interesting detail, 68 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,639 there is no information in the public about the Rocks Pirates. I definitely 69 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:30,360 want to read that list of the taboos that Rocks broke. Singoku described Captain 70 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:34,240 Rocks, who led three of the four former Janko as Rogers first and perhaps 71 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:39,399 greatest foe. Rocks Dzebek is also one of those rare pirates with the D 72 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:43,240 initial. To be fair, Sengoku does say that thirty eight years ago Kaido 73 00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,000 and Big Mom were nothing like they are now, implying that they've gotten considerably 74 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,519 stronger. This does make sense since Kaido was still only an apprentice pirate at 75 00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:54,759 the time. However, white Beard thirty eight years ago was thirty six, 76 00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,920 so I feel like that sort of makes up for Kaido and Big Mom being 77 00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,480 younger at the time. Some other details to keep in mind are that the 78 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,399 rocks Pirate flag included a red skull with horns. It has also been described 79 00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:10,000 as a burning skull, and in a flashback, people were in disbelief upon 80 00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:13,800 hearing that the rocks Pirates lost, and some even said it wasn't Garp or 81 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,560 anyone else that overpowered them, it was just that they couldn't stand each other. 82 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,360 No teamwork in the group was blamed, and since the event is shrouded 83 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,519 in so much mystery, I think that's a ballad possibility, or at least 84 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,160 a contributing factor. Another detail that must be mentioned is that, despite not 85 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:30,639 a lot of people knowing about the rocks Pirates nowadays, Blackbeard chose to name 86 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,199 his ship the Saber of Zebek. So although Janko Blackbeard was only two years 87 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,680 old when the God Valley incident took place, it's clear that there is a 88 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,319 connection there. In one way or another, four Yanko are connected to Zebek, 89 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:45,920 and considering that Shanks was one year old at the time, of the 90 00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,680 incident. He's not in the clear either. There have even been theories that 91 00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:53,279 he could have been Zebek's son. But for now, it's enough to know 92 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,600 that three Yanko worked under him, and another chose to name his ship after 93 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,639 him, and the other members of his crew wereably no less special. So 94 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,000 whether people remember the Rocks Pirates or not, the legacy of the Rocks Pirates 95 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,040 is very much alive in the world of One Piece. In other words, 96 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:12,360 the past is not dead. It's not even passed. Now let's jump into 97 00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:15,959 the nine known crew members. Number one, Choku, also called Wangxi in 98 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,040 the English translation, Wangji, was actually a famous Chinese pirate lord in our 99 00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:25,560 world in the sixteenth century. He was credited for spreading European firearms throughout East 100 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,600 Asia and for his role in leading the first Europeans to reach Japan in fifteen 101 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,879 forty three. So the name alone carries weight. But in One Piece, 102 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:39,800 Wangxi is known as the previous ruler of Hachinosu aka Pirate Island, also known 103 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,519 as Full of Lead in the English translation, Pirate Island is famous. As 104 00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,439 mentioned, it was where the Rocks Pirates met, So you know, you 105 00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:48,879 got to be capable to rule over such a famous hub for pirates. Black 106 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,600 Beard overthrew him. But that's not the surprising part. We know black Beard 107 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,839 has become a powerhouse and is a sliver away from passing Shanks and becoming the 108 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:01,879 current giango with the highest bounty. Even Dark King Silver's Raeli himself said he'd 109 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,399 lose nowadays against Blackbeard, so it's not shocking that he'd take Pirate Island from 110 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:11,439 Wangxi. The shocking part is actually that he needed help. It happened during 111 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,240 the Rocky Port incident, which happened during the time skip it was perpetrated by 112 00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:17,600 law. Most of the details about the incident are unknown. What we do 113 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,279 know, though, was that Kobe became famous for being the hero who saved 114 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:26,759 civilian lives in the Rocky Port incident. Furthermore, Blackbeard mentioned that Kobe helped 115 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,879 him out in that incident. He says it was thanks to Kobe that he 116 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,199 was able to topple Wangji and make himself the boss of Pirate Island. So 117 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,199 to me, this hypes up Wangji, who is clearly a legend from old 118 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,680 times, and yet Blackbeard still needed a marine's help in taking him down. 119 00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,279 And of course, when one member of the Rocks Pirates is hyped up the 120 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:48,319 whole crew is as well. Keep that in mind as we move forward. 121 00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,920 On a side note, how crazy is it that Oda can build up so 122 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,160 much hype around an event that didn't even involve our main characters. If he 123 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,839 ever came out with a side story that followed this incident from beginning to end, 124 00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,879 I would be all over it. But anyways, that's all we know 125 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,319 about Wangji so far, along with the fact that he was singled out by 126 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,560 Sengoku along with pirates like Shiki and Captain John as being worth mentioning number two 127 00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:16,000 Captain John. Captain John went on to form his own crew after the Rocks 128 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,480 Pirates and is notable for his legendary treasure collection. He's decease now, but 129 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,680 Janko Buggy is desperate to find his fabled treasure cave and the riches within, 130 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,279 Aside for the one Piece itself, which we still don't know the nature of. 131 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,159 This is the most hyped treasure in one piece and one that Buggy or 132 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:37,440 Nami would no doubt be thrilled to find. After his death, John's corpse 133 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,320 was sought after by doctor Hogback because he was seen as being worthy enough to 134 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,039 become one of the general zombies for Geko Moria. Captain John's animated corpse makes 135 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,799 quite the sight, as he has two swords stuck in his stomach from when 136 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,360 he died. I'd love to get his backstory in manga form as well. 137 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,919 Luckily, in an sps DA did reveal at least part of his history. 138 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,919 Captain John was described as being greedy and to the point that his own crew 139 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,399 declared mutiny and killed him for it. The dude wanted to keep his large 140 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:07,440 amount of treasure for himself and not to split it with his crew, so 141 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,639 you can guess why they would be upset still despite being taken down by multiple 142 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,159 stab wounds at a chest. Since he was sought after for the zombie general 143 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,799 position, it can be assumed that he was a strong pirate in life. 144 00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:24,879 Notably, Lufy found John's armband among Maria's riches, not knowing it was a 145 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,399 map to John's treasure. Eventually, he gave it to Buggy for the clown 146 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,320 y uncle's assistance. So Buggy may well be the one to find Captain John's 147 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,639 legendary loot. In fact, he previously thought it was on an island with 148 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,440 a skull on it, but they didn't end up finding it. However, 149 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,240 another island with a skull on it is Pirate Island, where the Rocks Pirates 150 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,200 were formed and where Blackbeard currently rules. So it could be that Captain John's 151 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840 treasure is there and what the armband Buggy may even know it now, but 152 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,480 the fact that Blackbeard is on the island has prevented him from getting it so 153 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,840 far. Number three Silver Acts. For now, we don't know much about 154 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,440 Silver Acts aside from the fact that he was singled out by Single who as 155 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,600 a member who carved out a name for himself, along with the Golden Lion, 156 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,000 Captain John, and Wangxi. Still based on the company, we can 157 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,360 assume he'll be brought up again in the story and we'll figure out why he 158 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,799 was worth mentioning here for now, though he's easily the member we know the 159 00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:16,120 least about. However, it speaks a lot that he could survive in this 160 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,080 crew of monsters where killing each other was the norm. It's actually quite similar 161 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,799 to how Blackbeard fit the most dangerous Level six prisoners against each other in order 162 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:28,080 to recruit those strong enough to survive. But more on that later. Number 163 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,799 four Buckingham Stussy aka Miss bucking Recent events in the manga, as we'll get 164 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,200 into, have definitely served to hype up her character. At first, we 165 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,440 knew her as this old, oddly shaped lady who was obsessed with white Beard. 166 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,360 She was thirty eight at the time of the God Valley incident and now 167 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,120 she's seventy six. She claims that her thirty five year old son and former 168 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,840 warlord Weevil, was fathered by Whitebeard. This would mean that even if they 169 00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:54,360 met while being on the Rocks Pirates together, it was around two years after 170 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,799 the God Valley incident that they would have conceived Edward we Will aka Whitebeard Junior. 171 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,840 Honestly, as time goes on, I'm starting to believe Stussy's claims more 172 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,240 and more. I mean, from the beginning, it can be argued that 173 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,639 Wevil's mustache doesn't lie. His hair is also the same blonde color as white 174 00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:13,240 beards well was back in the day. However, we also find out that 175 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,879 Stussy is a self styled scientist and is labeled by the narrator as a Mad's 176 00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:22,519 freeloader. Notably, MADS was an illegal scientific research institute led by Vegapunk. 177 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,360 This connection does suggest that Weavil might have been created in an unorthodox in scientific 178 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:31,919 way while using Whitebeard's jeans. However, it was recently revealed that CP zero's 179 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,480 agent Stussy is a clone of Miss bucking and it must be said, if 180 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,919 Miss Buckin used to look like her, which is the implication, it's not 181 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,600 hard to believe that Whitebeard would have succumbed to her advances. I mean, 182 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,799 we've already seen that Sangi definitely would have. Now from the looks of her 183 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,519 clone, we can assume that Miss Buckin wasn't just attractive, but used to 184 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,480 be a force to be reckoned with as well. We've seen her clone take 185 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,320 out Lucie Acaku effortlessly. Yes, she used c stone lipstick to help incapacitate 186 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,840 them, but still it's impressive she succeeded in taking to awakened zone users out 187 00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,720 like that. The clone also has vampire like wings and appears to suck blood, 188 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,440 which in turn appears to drain victims of their energy and causes them to 189 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,879 lose consciousness. This suggests that she might have some sort of vampire or, 190 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,759 according to my comment section succubus fruit. Of course, as we saw with 191 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,879 the saraphims It's possible that the clone doesn't have the fruit, but they just 192 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,320 added these fruitlike powers to her because Miss Bucking had the fruit. If this 193 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,679 were the case, then Miss Bucking could have had these powers while on the 194 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,279 Rocks crew, which would help explain how she survived in a crew full of 195 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,559 monsters. Of course, it's possible that as an attractive woman, she was 196 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,799 protected by white Beard or Rocks, but I think she could hold her own. 197 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,159 After all, If she couldn't, why would they choose to clone her. 198 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,000 Maybe she wasn't as physically strong, but her clones suggests that she more 199 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:50,440 than made up for this by being strategic and ready to fight dirty against powerful 200 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,559 men. So although Marco doesn't fully buy the fact that she was white Beard's 201 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,600 lover, I'm believing it more and more. Not only was it nice seeing 202 00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,679 we will protect his father's hometown. In chapter one seventy three, Stussy said 203 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,600 Begapunk could prove that her son and white Beard are related. We will before 204 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,519 Admiral Green will help capture him. Was said to have monstrous strength, which 205 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,720 bodes well for him being the strongest man in the world's son. Either way, 206 00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:15,759 this is a very interesting story threat, and I hope Marco will accept 207 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,440 Weevil as Whitebeard's son eventually and help rescue him from the Marines. Stussy is 208 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,919 also determined for Wevill to inherit the late Whitebeard's fortune, while we Will really 209 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,320 acts like a proud son unlike Ace, and not only protected his father's hometown 210 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,720 at great personal cost, he also proclaimed, with tears in his eyes, 211 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:35,960 that he would kill Blackbeard for killing his father. Well, it was Stussy 212 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:39,720 who told him that vengeance was foolish and that what they need is money. 213 00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,000 Number five Captain Rocks himself. It's hard to talk about the Rocks Pirates without 214 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,039 covering the Captain, so we went over a lot about him already while we 215 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,720 were discussing the crew as a whole. As mentioned, he wanted to become 216 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,519 king of the world. He somehow got all of these monstrous people to follow 217 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,559 him as their ruler, and he was no doubt strong, and not just 218 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,240 the figurehead. We know this because when Kaido thought of the few people that 219 00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:03,120 could challenge him in strength, he thought of Odin Whitebeard, Roger Shanks, 220 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:07,200 and of course Captain Rocks himself. The great question is what happened to Rocks. 221 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,120 The Zebek. Could a guy who could not only survive in a crew 222 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,000 like the Rocks Pirates, but even rule over it actually be killed at God 223 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,039 Valley or did he survive. One intriguing theory is that he succeeded in becoming 224 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,960 king of the world and is actually I Musama controlling things behind the scenes. 225 00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:28,200 Another popular theory is that he could be Dragon's biological father. This would mean 226 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,399 that Garpe is Lufy's maternal grandfather, and that Dragon adopted his wife's last name 227 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:37,480 like Ace adopted his mother's. Then there's a possibility that Shanks could be a 228 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,320 son, or the possibility that Blackbeard is in some way his successor, whether 229 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,399 that be in philosophy or in a more specific and scientific way. I personally 230 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,159 feel like Rocks could have been the previous Dark Dark Fruit user, and that's 231 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,399 one of the reasons Blackbeard wanted it so bad. And yes, I just 232 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,039 mentioned a lot of theories and all of them may be off the mark, 233 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,879 but as fans, we can't help but obsess over such a legendary yet miss 234 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,519 serious figure who was strong enough to rule over so many powerful and legendary pirates. 235 00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:07,679 He had his own era before the Rise of the Pirate King. I 236 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:11,120 mean, imagine how strong you must be in order to make Marine Hero Garp 237 00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:13,879 willing to team up with pirates in order to defeat you. Considering all this, 238 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,080 it's not at all surprising that Sengoku said Rocks could have been Roger's greatest 239 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,519 foe. And if Rocks truly died back there at God Valley, then it 240 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:26,039 begs the question would he have successfully toppled the existing world order if Roger and 241 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,200 Garp didn't thwart his attack against the celestial Dragons? Chances are he would have, 242 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,480 and that begs the question why did Garpe, who doesn't like celestial dragons 243 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:37,799 save them? Can't wait to find out, But for now, let's move 244 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,559 on to number six, Shiki the Golden Lion. Even though he was a 245 00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:46,480 subordinate in this crew, Shiki was also great enough to be considered one of 246 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,440 the Pirate King's greatest rivals. When confronted with Shiki and his fleet, Buggy, 247 00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:54,320 despite being on Roger's crew, begged for Roger to give Shiki what he 248 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840 wanted. Hike even wanted Roger to be his right hand man. This clash 249 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,279 between the two legends ended up being known as the Battle of ed War. 250 00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:04,279 Shiki had the largest pirate fleet around at the time, and Roger was in 251 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,559 a desperate situation and was only saved by raging weather. And even though the 252 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,399 weather caused half of shiki ships to sink, the battle was still declared a 253 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,600 draw, showing how even a subordinate of Rocks could later do this well with 254 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,919 his own crew against the future pirate king. During this battle, Shiki got 255 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:25,440 the iconic wheel stuck in his head. Shiki was so mad when he heard 256 00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:29,080 Roger was captured later that he went to free him. It took Sengoku and 257 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,240 Garb to stop him, and the three fought until Marine Ford was half destroyed, 258 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,639 and he still turned out to be fine afterwards. Then two years later, 259 00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:40,120 Shiki broke out of impel Down by cutting off his own feet. In 260 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,080 other words, he did what Zoro was prepared to do, but to be 261 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:45,919 fair, it did make more sense for Shiki, who has the float fruit, 262 00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:49,480 which allows him to make himself in non living things he comes into contact 263 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:55,000 with levitate. He can make big ships or vast island areas float, and 264 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,519 even make a large amount of water float around someone in order to drown them. 265 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:02,200 Raley takes note of him escape from impelled down, and then Shake even 266 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,400 goes to visit fellow former Rocks Pirate member Whitebeard. He proclaims that this is 267 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,039 white Beard's age now, but Shiki will lie low for a while and then 268 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:14,279 show people what a real pirate is like. Shiki felt convinced that with Rogers 269 00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:17,160 helped that two of them could have conquered the world together, like his captain 270 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,920 Rocks wanted to do. The movie with him is non Cannon, so we 271 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,039 won't focus on that here, but we'll see if he appears again in the 272 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,160 main Cannon story. Either way, the dude is yet another legendary figure of 273 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,240 one Piece up there with Roger and Whitebeard, and as such he really serves 274 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,440 to hype up the Rocks Pirates, and even more so to hype up their 275 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,920 leader, who he too at one point served under number seven Whitebeard. And 276 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,079 so we've arrived at the final three members of this legendary crew, the three 277 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,759 future Yanko or past Janko, depending on how you look at it. Yes, 278 00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:48,680 white Beard too, the man whose heir or Shiki said it was the 279 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,720 man called strongest in the world, and the man said to be closest to 280 00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:56,559 one Piece, also one served Rocks as a member of the Rocks Pirates. 281 00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:59,759 He was thirty six years old at the time of the God Valley incident. 282 00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:03,319 He too was considered one of Roger's greatest rivals. Like Rocks and Shiky and 283 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,400 Man, I gotta say Roger had some crazy rivals. Makes sense for the 284 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,640 pirate king, I guess. After Roger died, white Beard was left with 285 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,680 the highest bounty at five point zero four six billion, which also happens to 286 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,519 be the second highest bounty of any pirate in history. White Beard possessed the 287 00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:21,839 Gurda Guda nom aka the tremor. Tremor fruit. Would have stated that this 288 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000 fruit was the strongest paramesia of fruit. Singoku proclaims at one point that with 289 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,160 this devil fruit, white Beard has the power to destroy the world. The 290 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,440 power lets white Beard produce shockwaves that can travel through practically anything air, water, 291 00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:37,680 and land. The shockwaves can cause tsunamis and earthquakes. The shockwaves can 292 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,599 be unpredictable, so allies have to be cautious around the user and not get 293 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,720 in his way. White Beard was able to split an island and have creating 294 00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:48,519 a giant chasm to separate the pirates on one side from the Marines on the 295 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,119 other. He uses the power to destroy the Navy headquarters, but the power 296 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,880 is not limitless. The Navy has created walls stronger than steel that won't shatter. 297 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,319 As a result of the Guda Gurda no White Bear can create by rations 298 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,000 around himself to protect himself as well. Because of this ability, al Kigi 299 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,799 can't freeze him. White Bear can concentrate his power into a small orb or 300 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,799 quake bubble around his hand to increase its power. He can create contained but 301 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,240 powerful explosion type attacks. He used this attack to beat a giant Vice admiral. 302 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,200 With one blow, he destroyed his helmet like it was nothing. He 303 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,680 can surround his spear with a quake bubble and use it to extend its reach. 304 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,079 He can mow down enemies far away in this fashion. Perhaps the most 305 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,279 intriguing power is white Beard's ability to grab the air and pull it. By 306 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,920 doing this, he tilted the entire battlefield that Marine Ford. Notably, when 307 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,359 white Beard was younger and stronger, his hockey was strong enough to match that 308 00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:40,720 of the Pirate Kings without even touching. The clash of hockey alone created insanely 309 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:45,200 strong winds, and I haven't spoken about Conquerors Hockey yet because not a lot 310 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,240 is known about a lot of the Rocks Crew members, but I wouldn't be 311 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,359 surprised if the Rocks Pirates had the most Conquerors Hockey users in one crew. 312 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,519 Ever, we know Whitebeard possess Conquerors Hockey, same with Big Mom and Kaido, 313 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,039 and it's hard to believe that they were the only ones in the star 314 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,200 studded crew. Even though it hasn't been confirmed. Rocks Zebek has to be 315 00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:06,400 a user of Conquerors Hockey, or at least I'd like to think so if 316 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,440 he could rule over so many Conquerors Hockey users. White Beard did eventually die 317 00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,720 at seventy two years old, while like a true boss he remained standing. 318 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:17,400 Nonetheless, he was old and six, so despite how impressive he was a 319 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:19,599 Marine Ford, we should keep in mind that this was not white Beard in 320 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,359 his prime. Number eight Big Mom. Big Mom was thirty years old during 321 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,519 the God Valley incident, but even at twenty four years old, she was 322 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,680 a member of the famous Rocks Crew. This is actually when she met a 323 00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:33,799 fifteen year old Kaido, who was teaming up with the crew for the first 324 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,319 time. She comes off as a sort of protective big sister figure to him, 325 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160 since at one point she said for him to just tell her if he 326 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,640 has any trouble. Kaido also remembers her saying she was going to be king 327 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,640 of the sea. According to Big Mom, Kaido isn't debted to her. 328 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:49,799 She gave him his epic mythical zone fruit back during the God Valley incident. 329 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,759 Anyways, the now sixty eight year old Big Mom ak Charlotte Linlin as a 330 00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:57,039 Yanko, clashed evenly with the so called strong screen in the world. At 331 00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:02,400 the time Kaido her own bound he was four point three eight eight billion berries. 332 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:04,720 But I can't see it staying the same after her defeat to lawing Kid, 333 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,160 Big Mom and discoes for Kayto two definitely doesn't come off as calculating and 334 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:12,640 patient as someone like Black Bear does. She has been known to destroy entire 335 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,680 countries over sweets. Almost everyone, including her own children, fears her when 336 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,359 she's angry. She was born powerful rather than trying to become powerful. When 337 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,359 she was five, she accidentally killed a large bear by smacking it. She 338 00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:26,960 even broke the bones of a giant by trying to slap a Mosquito. Her 339 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,359 overpoweredness seemed more like an annoyance than a goal, at least in the beginning. 340 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,920 Even as a kid, she could break a skilled giant sword with her 341 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,559 fist and then defeat him. I could keep going, but you get the 342 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,920 point. She's very, very strong, and she was so from the beginning. 343 00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:44,400 Her double fruit is a paramesia type called soto soto no me, a 344 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,839 gay soulful fruit. The fruit allows her to take the soul of whoever she 345 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,680 touches and take years away from their lifespan. Obviously, if she takes enough 346 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:53,759 years, the victim will die right then and there. The ability is super 347 00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:57,440 overpowered on paper, but there is a loophole. If you have no fear 348 00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,839 of death, you will not be affected by the devil fruit powers. Thus, 349 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,640 if you want to even hope to stand a chance against her, you 350 00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:07,440 better have self mastery over yourself and your fear. She can also put souls 351 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,920 into inanimate objects or animals. These newly anthropomorphized beings are known as homies, 352 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,519 and you could see them all around total Land. It's not worthy that Big 353 00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:21,839 Mom cannot put souls into corpses or other people. The fruit can also produce 354 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,880 little incarnations of pure soul that go around collecting and distributing souls for Big Mom. 355 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,839 Big Mom used parts of her soul to create three special homies later for 356 00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:33,880 as we'll see that are far more powerful than the rest. These homies include 357 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,440 Zeus, the thundercloud and is summoned by her left hand, Prometheus, the 358 00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:40,880 Sun that is summoned by her right, and Napoleon, who takes the form 359 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,200 of Big Mom's hat. The Sun can create flames, the cloud can create 360 00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:47,920 lightning bolts, and together they can manipulate the weather. It should be noted 361 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,799 that recently Zeus, who's been more associated with Nami as of late than Big 362 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,119 Mom, has been replaced by a new thundercloud homie called hera Big Mom's hat 363 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,039 can turn into a blade that she can wield and that can move an attack 364 00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:03,400 by itself can also relay information to her that it receives from the other homies. 365 00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:06,480 Homies like clouds can be written on and allow Big Mom to travel at 366 00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:11,519 high speeds. Prometheus can also engulf Napoleon in flames, increasing the power of 367 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,599 the sword. Furthermore, the sword can release powerful destructive shock waves. Most 368 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,799 recently during her fight against Lawing Kid she used a year of her own lifespan 369 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,519 to increase her power even further. She gets even bigger, more godlike as 370 00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:26,319 she dominates the panel compared to the now insect looking kid in Law. It's 371 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,319 an ace in the hole that she doesn't use often, but as she mentioned, 372 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,000 it has been decades since she's felt pain like the pain Kit and Law 373 00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:37,799 delivered to her, so she feels it's warranted. She also uses the Master 374 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,119 Saver combination of Prometheus, Hera, and Napoleon to create Misery and even more 375 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,799 powerful Homie. The Giant Powerful Homie can fly around quickly while launching fire or 376 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,200 lightning attacks. In short, Big Mom in her powers are definitely larger than 377 00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:52,559 life. The Big Mom can also use Conquerors hockey as mentioned, however, 378 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,119 to combine awakened powers of lawing Kid were just too much for her. I 379 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,920 don't think she's dead, but she was defeated, and in a sense, 380 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000 her fight was less fair than Kaido's because she was double teamed, while Kaido 381 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:06,559 at least at the end, was fighting a one on one fight. Number 382 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,839 nine Rocks Apprentice Pirate Kaido as covered. Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates at fifteen 383 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,920 years old, it was actually white Beard who invited him to join the crew 384 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,319 after witnessing Kaido overpowering other pirates on Pirate Island. Then he'd meet Big Mom, 385 00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:22,480 who would become a protective older sister to him. During the God Valley 386 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,640 incident, Kaido was twenty one, and this was when Big Mom gave him 387 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,119 the uh uh no me model savu aka the Fisher's fruit model a zuur dragon. 388 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,839 More on the mythical fruit in a bit. Even before the Rocks Pirates 389 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:38,000 stove, Like Big Sis Big Mom, Kaido stood out as being monstrously strong. 390 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,440 At ten, he was the strongest soldier of the Vodka Kingdom. Kaido 391 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,680 was so strong and confident in himself that he'd let himself be caught by the 392 00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,279 marines so that he could eat their food, and then he'd escape again when 393 00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:52,079 he felt like it. More recently, the fifty nine year old man was 394 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,519 referred to as the strongest creature in the world, at least he was before 395 00:24:55,599 --> 00:25:00,640 he fell to Janko Lufy. His bounty was four point six one one billion 396 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,000 berries, meaning he had the highest known bounty of any living character before he 397 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,359 was defeated by Lufy. People often used to say that if it's a one 398 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,279 on one battle, Kaido will win. When white Beard was alive, Kaido 399 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,480 actually tried to attack him, but Shanks interfere. Clearly, Kaido was not 400 00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:17,839 only strong, but brave as well. Brave enough to go after white Beard, 401 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,480 that is. But how Shanks got him to turn around? Has he 402 00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:22,599 yet to be revealed? He was first introduced to us as a man searching 403 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,559 for a place to die. We are told that he's been caught by the 404 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,039 navy or enemy ships no less than eighteen times. But now at least we 405 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,359 know that some of those times, if not all of them, he was 406 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,519 looking for food. He was tortured time and time again, we're told, 407 00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:37,400 and lived as a prisoner. When they tried to hang him, the rope 408 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,359 snap. When they put him under the guillotine, the blade cracked. Then 409 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,240 he attempted to take his own life by jumping off from Sky Island, but 410 00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:47,920 he survived. Not even Kaido could take down Kaido. That's how invincible he 411 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:49,599 seemed. And as with Big Mom, I think he's still alive, but 412 00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:52,279 more on that later. Anyways, I don't know if there's been a better 413 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,640 introduction to an Opie character than this. Kaido isn't strong because he wants to 414 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,119 be. He practically viewsed his overpoweredness as an annoyance, which is pretty hilarious. 415 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,920 He has a reputation for being unable to die despite his best efforts. 416 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,359 The first fight against Kaido and Lufy was a significant one. We are used 417 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,079 to protagonists fighting, struggling, but ultimately overcoming their opponents. However, this 418 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,319 is not what happens during this first fight. Lufy hits Kaido with many attacks 419 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,759 and Kaido is ultimately not hurt by it. Then Kaido hits Lufy with his 420 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,799 club once and Lufi is out cold. It's refreshing to see that pure willpower 421 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,160 isn't enough to overpower a strong opponent. Sometimes it doesn't happen often and shown 422 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,079 in manga, but Kaido was able to brutally embarrass or shown in Protagonists, 423 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,400 and that shows how strong and special he was. It took Lufy mastering a 424 00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:40,440 higher level of hockey, specifically the ability to omit hockey rather than just coding 425 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,279 his body and hockey and awakening his godfruit to finally beat Kaido. And again, 426 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,599 I don't think he's dead, but he was definitely defeated. Some people 427 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,839 even say that Kaido took a bunch of damage beforehand, and that's the only 428 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,440 reason Lufy won. I'm not of that opinion personally, but it's true that 429 00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:59,319 he did take damage from the scabbards, Yamato, Zoro and so on before 430 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,920 Lufy event she beat him with his awakened fruit. Now let's get into Kido's 431 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,440 della fruit, which is definitely one of my favorites. It's a mythical zone 432 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,160 type fruit. As mentioned, it's called the ul No meat model save You 433 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240 aka the fish for Fruit model, a zor dragon. As a fish for 434 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:17,480 fruit, it raises huge questions like was Kaido unable to end himself because he 435 00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:19,519 could even breathe in the sea, even if he may have been paralyzed like 436 00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:22,559 other fruit users. Also, if you didn't know, the reason Kydo looks 437 00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:26,319 like a dragon despite having the fish fish fruit is because it's based on the 438 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,240 dragon gate myth, where if a carp made it up nearly and impossible to 439 00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:34,759 climb waterfall, it would become a dragon think magic Harp and Garrodose from Pokemon. 440 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,160 The fruit allows him to transform into a giant and I mean giant blue 441 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,160 Eastern dragon. He also has a hybrid form that he seems to use most 442 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,200 often during the course of an intense battle. He can shoot heat blast from 443 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,920 his dragon mouth that can cause devastating damage. He can create slices of wind 444 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,119 that can cut off limbs, tornados, lightning, and even hail in the 445 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,079 video games. His Ace in the Whole is a technique that allows him to 446 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,279 surround his whole dragon body and fire so that he melts everything that comes into 447 00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:02,720 contact with him. The only known way to beat him in this case is 448 00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,680 through hockey mastery. If Lufy couldn't admit his hockey, he would have had 449 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,279 to touch Kaido with his final attack, in which case he would have certainly 450 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,519 lost due to the intense heat. We also saw Kaido clashing with fellow Janko 451 00:28:14,599 --> 00:28:18,079 Big Mom. As with Lufy, they both use Conquerors hockey. When Kaido 452 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,480 and Big Mom clash, the heaven split open, just like when white Beard 453 00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:25,119 and Shanks clashed. That sort of seems like a sign of Yanko hood when 454 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,960 you can do that against the fellow Yanko. Interestingly enough, Kaido and Big 455 00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,640 Mom seemed to be pretty evenly matched in their battle. They eventually decided to 456 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,319 team up together and take over the world so in a way, they wanted 457 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,240 to finish what Rocks started. You see that wish to take over the world, 458 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:41,640 and quite a few rocks Pirates it definitely seems to be a common theme 459 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:44,839 and desire in the crew. After that, these two planned to finish their 460 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,680 fight to the death. However, as we saw, they were defeated by 461 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,119 the combined forces of Lufy lawing Kid before that could happen. So, as 462 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,440 you can see, a lot of rocks Pirates members came to power even after 463 00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:56,559 the crew was disbanded. Now some have fallen, like Kaido, white Beard 464 00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:00,799 and Big Mom, and yet the Rocks Pirates remain of it. Literally. 465 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,359 Just recently, as of writing this, it came out that Stussy, who's 466 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,880 very relevant in the story right now, is a clone of the rocks Pirate 467 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,079 member who herself is relevant now after her son got taken hostage by Greenville. 468 00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:17,319 Weevil is like a rocks Pirates child himself, since he seemingly came from two 469 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,920 members of the crew, while others are probably connected in ways to the legendary 470 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,160 crew that we still don't understand. At the very least would have made it 471 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,720 clear that Blackbeard is carrying on the Rocks way you can see this and not 472 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,160 only his ship being called the Saber of Zebec, but as mentioned in the 473 00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:34,119 way, he also prioritized the strength of his crew members and encouraged them to 474 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,599 kill each other so only the strongest would join his crew. And after going 475 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,519 over all of these characters and their incredible feats and powers, I hope everyone 476 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,759 listening can fully appreciate how powerful the Rocks Pirates were, and specifically how powerful 477 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,640 Rocks the Zebek must have been the man who ruled over all of these legendary 478 00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:56,440 monsters. If you're curious about his successor, Blackbeard, and want to learn 479 00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:59,799 more about their connection, then you don't want to miss my all sixteen Black 480 00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:03,279 Pirates in their powers explained video link in the description and on screen right now
