Oda reveals a figure even more powerful than the Pirate King

One piece has been delivering absolutely incredible chapters lately, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop once the battle of God Valley rages on in the manga. WITH Rocks D. Xebec was Domi Reversi'd by ImFans know what's to come is going to be an absolutely incredible fight and it's sure to kick off One piece the fandom ignited. In doing so, Oda also reveals a One Piece character even stronger than Pirate King himself, perhaps on the level of Davy Jones himself.

This character is none other than One Piece is the strongesta pirate from 40 years ago, Rocks D. Xebec, also known as Davy D. Xebec. As seen in One piece chapter 1163, Rocks went full force against Im and he certainly held his own for long enough. However, his strength was not enough to defeat the sovereign of the world. Instead, he turned around Im using Domi Reversiand now the other characters, specifically Roger and Garp, are confronted by the most powerful force on the seas, surpassing even the Pirate King.

Domi Reversi'd Rocks D. Xebec is above Pirate King level

Rocks was already strong enough to easily defeat the admirals

• Rocks is stronger than Roger and Garp

• Garp and Roger had to team up to defeat him

For centuries no figure in the One piece the world managed to reach the Final Island, Laugh Tale, and claim it One piece. Roger was the first to do so, and he also made it to Lodestar Island a year before God Valley. Roger was the Pirate King and was certainly the most powerful of his era, with Whitebeard and Garp as his only equals.

But there is one character who surpasses even the Pirate King Roger in strength, and that's him Domi Reversi'd Rocks D. Xebec. Xebec was already a monster in his own right and certainly Roger's rival. Sengoku openly referred to Rocks as Roger's biggest rival, implying that they were close in power. Although it is impossible to know who was stronger, it does not matter. Fans can safely say that Rocks D. Xebec and Gol D. Roger were pirates of the same power level.

But once Rocks got Domi Reversi'd in God Valley, his he shot above Roger and Garp in terms of strength. This is because the Domi Reversi is clearly said to increase the power of those who have drastically reversed themselves. Those who receive the Domi Reversi gain an immortal body and unsurpassed strength. Oda clearly portrays this as a very significant fan of power. in other words Domi Reversi Rocks was even stronger than Pirate King Roger.

Domi Reversi'd Rocks is still weaker than Imu

Imu Is One Piece's Strongest

Although he is stronger than the Pirate King, Domi Reversi'd Rocks is still weaker than Imu. This is quite clearly seen as Rocks is simply not strong enough to fight or defeat Ima. If Imu can control the rocks as a pawn without even holding their real body, then there is no doubt that Imu is much stronger.

Yet, after Ima, Domi Reversi Rocks is probably the strongest character in the entire storyline that fans have seen, excluding Joy Boy and Davy Jones.

When I was little, I thought to myself: Man, I would really like to draw a manga with the most famous final stage! I wonder if I can do it! Now we only have a small piece of the Wano arc left, the preparations are almost done. Took me 25 years lol. That said, it's okay to start reading from this point. Because from this moment on…it will be… ONE PIECE!! Mysteries of this world, I will draw them all! It will be super interesting! Fasten your seat belt! And please stay with me a little longer! — Eiichiro Oda, author of One Piece, 2022
