A brief analysis of One Piece chapter 1157 spoilers
The God Valley Incident, which led to the downfall of the Rocks Pirates and Rocks D. Xebec’s death, was sparked by their desire to retrieve a certain treasure previously located on Hachinosu and stolen by the Celestial Dragons. Until now, most fans believed that this treasure consisted of the rare Devil Fruits used as prizes for the cruel Human Hunting Competition held by the nobles.The assumption was that the Celestial Dragons had stolen those Devil Fruits from Hachinosu, resulting in the Rocks Pirates’ decision to retrieve them. The simultaneous arrival of the Roger Pirates, along with the reaction from the Navy and Saint Figarland Garling’s Holy Knights, eventually led to the confrontation known as God Valley Incident.
In fact, when Kong alerted him about Gol D. Roger’s imminent arrival in God Valley, Garp explicitly stated that the Celestial Dragons brought the conflict upon themselves by stealing “Hachinosu’s treasure”, further lending credence to the aforementioned theory.
However, One Piece chapter 1157 unexpectedly reveals that the treasure of Hachinosu wasn’t a Devil Fruit or another rare item, but Shakky’s mesmerizing beauty. With this in mind, as absurd as it seems, it appears that Shakky’s presence was what drove the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates at God Valley, sparking the incident.Shakky is seen working at her bar on Hachinosu, suggesting that the forthcoming installments will disclose how the Celestial Dragons kidnapped her and brought her to God Valley. As the second-in-command of the Kuja Pirates, and later their captain, the Pirate Empress of Amazon Lily, Shakuyaku was likely quite powerful. So, her captor must have been a pretty strong World Government member or Marine officer.It will be intriguing to learn why Shakky was brought to God Valley, as keeping her in their “Holy Land”, the city of Mary Geoise, would have been more logical for the Celestial Dragons.That said, the revelation that Shakky was the Hachinosu treasure sought by the Rocks Pirates feels odd, not only for its evident irony, but also because the dialogue from Whitebeard, Shiki, Big Mom, and others during the God Valley Incident seemed to refer to an object, not a person. So, there must be more to it.In any case, in hindsight, it’s amusing that Shakky captivated everyone with her gorgeousness, including the absolute strongest men of her era, while Boa Hancock, despite her beauty, fails to attract the likes of Momonga and Smoker, let alone Luffy As it’s well known, despite her many claimants, Shakuyaku had eyes only for Silvers Rayleigh, the fearsome “Dark King”, and they are a married couple nowadays. So, it will be interesting to see how Shakky avoided her other admirers to unite with Rayleigh, and if Rayleigh did something to help her.also suggests that there's a traitor within the Rocks Pirates, working for the Navy. The installment doesn't reveal the identity of the traitor, but the most widespread hypothesis is that Silver Axe is the mole who infiltrated the crew to gather and report information.Another minor but fun detail featured in One Piece chapter 1157 is the explanation of the name of Shakky’s current bar in Sabaody Archipelago, the “Shakky’s Rip-off Bar”. This name was puzzling until the latest chapter indirectly revealed its reason, suggesting that Shakky literally considers her bar in Sabaody a rip-off, i.e., an inferior imitation, of her previous one in Hachinosu.
