One Piece: Who is Rocks D Xebec?

There are several stories and immersive characters in One Piece, and one among them is Rocks D Xebec. Eiichiro Oda did a great job sewing together interesting lore with engaging characters that keep the readers and viewers on the edge of their seats even after a thousand chapters. The genius of Oda’s mind, laced with his creativity and writing ability, made it possible for One Piece to become the best-selling manga series of all time.

It is challenging to remember each character individually among various others with developed personalities and specific relevance to the story. This also gives Oda room to create suspense, as fans won’t be able to guess which character will stir up the next major event. However, there is one character whose name is associated with power and destruction. The character is none other than Rocks D. Xebec.

Who was Rocks D Xebec?

Sengoku was the first person to mention the name of Rocks when Brannew revealed the bounties of the Four Emperors or Yonko. The exchange went into describing a pirate so ruthless that it stirred up the entire One Piece community. This is because fans believed that Gol D. Roger was the most feared pirate in the world.

According to Sengoku, Rocks’ full name was Rocks D. Xebec. Fans might be surprised upon hearing his name for the first time as he also had the letter “D” in his name, similar to other prominent characters such as Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Luffy, Marshall D. Teach, etc. He led the notorious Rock Pirates, a group so deranged that not even the crew members were safe. They existed forty years before the events of the current timeline. Moreover, he was considered the greatest threat to the authority of the World Government.

How strong was Rocks D Xebec?

Rocks was considered one of the strongest pirates of his generation. Even the Marines alone couldn’t defeat him, which shows how much of a beast this man was. The series also revealed that the Rocks Pirates were known for infighting, and it would take a mighty person to lead them. Even Kaido, who was considered the strongest creature in the world, placed Rocks among the handful of characters who could hurt him in a fight.

However, it was never revealed whether or not Rocks possesses a Devil Fruit. Many fans believe that Rocks was the beholder of the Goro Goro no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows its users to create and manipulate lightning. The Devil Fruit holds the power to destroy entire islands if appropriately used.

Rocks D. Xebec was an ambitious man who declared to everyone that he wanted to become the King of the World. The Empty Throne, which Imu currently occupies, was Rocks’ vision. He expressed great interest in mysteries the World Government kept hidden from the rest of the world. Besides, he didn’t entertain any thoughts about killing Celestial Dragons. The World Government had sent Admirals to defeat him, but the power he exhibited only emphasized that Rocks was confident in his abilities.
