One pieceGame creator Eichiro Oda reveals the truth about one of the most mysterious plot points in his beloved series, but also has disappointing news for fans. The Rocky Harbor Incident it was first mentioned over 10 years ago in chapter 700, and what really happened that day has finally come to light.
While One piece is on a brief hiatus, Shonen Jump Weekly will publish Oda’s answers to ten of the best and most important questions asked by fans. The answers, which will be published in issue no. 49 of Shonen Jump Weeklyare already circulating online, and one fan asked about the infamous Rocky Port Incident. Unfortunately, Oda not only did not give a detailed explanation of what happened that day, but also said that the Rocky Port incident would not be shown in the mangawhich is not good given the scale and importance of this event.
The Rocky Port Incident Has Finally Been Revealed
A three-way alliance to take down a great enemy
As reported by @pewpiece on X, from the brief summary Oda gave, the Rocky Port incident was started by Trafalgar Lawwhen he hijacked a passenger ship, the Rocky Port, to infiltrate Pirate Island after hearing there was an important Poneglyph there. Law believed that the ship was transporting the king and nobles of a country, however, it was actually a smuggling ship, as the country had ties to Pirate Island. Meanwhile, Blackbeard and Koby arrived on the island separately, which led to an unlikely alliance between the three to fight the residents of Hachinosu.
According to what has already been revealed in the story, Blackbear, Law and Koby overthrew Ochoku, the island’s ruler and former member of the Rocks Pirates. While it wasn’t revealed why Koby and Blackbeard were on the island, the consequences are well known. Koby became known as “the hero of the Marines”, Law became a member of the Seven Warlords, and Blackbeard ended up as ruler of Pirate Island. Unfortunately, while Oda’s response gave fans a clearer idea of ​​what happened, it raised even more questions.
One Piece keeps important events off-screen
Fans will never see the Rocky Port incident
A big criticism of the series is that it glosses over important scenes, and this last one isn’t the first. The biggest ones that come to mind are Akainu and Aokiji’s battle, Kaido and Shanks’ confrontation, Zoro losing his eye, the Blackbeard Pirates attacking the Revolutionary Army headquarters, and more. This time it’s worse, because Oda confirmed that the Rocky Port Incident will not appear in the main storykilling all hopes that it could one day be shown in the same way a glimpse of the God Valley Incident was revealed in Kuma’s story.
One piece is moving full steam ahead in its final saga, so it’s normal that some things won’t be expanded upon, considering how vast the world created by Oda is. However, the Rocky Harbor Incident It deserved more than just a summary, as it was mentioned several times in the story, and was a key moment in Blackbeard’s rise to power.
