More details of the chapter, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums. Chapter of 17 pages (2 color pages from Color Spread and 15 black and white normal pages).
Chapter 1,155: âRocks Piratesâ.
Color Spread in the cover: Straw Hat crew is walking on a wood ladder to cross from one building to another in a city.
Chapter starts where last one ended. Loki said Rocks theyâre in Elbaph but he said his dad was out on an expedition. Loki was very surprised because that was the first time he saw tiny people. Rocks asked Loki his name.
Then Rocks demanded Loki to go home to call his father because he should treat Lokiâs wounds. Loki refused and attacked him, but Rocks used his sword to counterattack.
Loki: âWhat makes you think my dad is going to come back for something like my injuries!! And how dare you order me around!! You look like a weakling!!â
Narrator: [Rocksâ sword attacks are known for sending the surrounding objects flying as if it was the impact of a giant hammer or a cannon blast.]
Rocks: âVohahha! Oh no!! Look!! Loki is gravely injured!!!â
A flashback about the Levely that took place 8 years ago starts. Soldiers at the âPangaea Castleâ reported that 5 kings had been attacked and kidnapped by a large man dressed in black. Then we see Imu in the âRoom of Flowersâ.
Imu: âThe lives of mere Kings cannot be used as bargaining chips against Mu.â
Rocks: âI thought as much⊠but the Holy Land is a mess nowâŠâ
We suddenly see that Rocks was sitting on the ground near Imu, he had a pistol on his hand. We also see a woman servant kneeled down next to Imu that looks like GunkĆ (she wore something similar to a nun habit with a mask in her mouth).
Imu stared at Rocks while a very furious Rocks threatened Imu.
Narrator: [Unlike anything before and for the first time⊠someone had managed to get into the deepest part of the Holy Land⊠Into the âRoom of Flowersâ. The man revealed himself as an âadmirer of Davy Jonesâ. And that was all he did, he knew what he canât do⊠But he did leave behind a few words.]
Rocks: âOne day, I will come backâŠ!!! BACK HERE!!!â
Rocks found Harald in Mary Geoise city when both tried to escape. In an EPIC double page, we see they attacked each other. The clash of their Conquerorâs Haki was similar to Roger Vs. Whitebeard or Luffy Vs. Kaidou, their swords didnât touch each other.
Narrator explains the clashing of those two strangers, wiped out all who were within a 5 km distance. They both introduced themselves to each other while they were fighting. After the short clash both escape together (Harald asked Rocks which way was Elbaph because he was lost loool).
Rocks told Harald that if both survived, they should meet again. But Harald told Rocks he would never get involved with a villain again. Then Harald jumped off the Red Line and Rocks was shocked to see how crazy Harald was loool
The narrator explains that despite the emergency treatment, the Admiral that Rocks attacked in Mary Geoise finally died. So World Government put a high price on his head (we see Rocks Wanted poster but we canât see his bounty). Some time later Rocks attacked a ship that was carrying the heavenly tribute towards Mary Geoise. And he even destroyed a âGate of Justiceâ to escape.
With the money and ship at hand, Rocks kicked off his pirate career. During the following years, pirate ships were Rocks new targets. He played some âDavy Back Fightâ games to get new crew mates. However Rocks did not officially form his pirate crew yet. So they were just a gang of villains following Rocks.
Back to the âpresentâ of the flashback (48 years ago). In another AMAZING double page we see that Rocks and his 6 crew mates were eating in âAurus Castleâ with Harald and Loki.
Loki was lying in a bed with bandages on his body. Harald quickly returned from the expedition when he heard Loki was injured. Although Loki was almost well healed already, Harald asked him donât go again to the âUnderworldâ. Loki was very happy to see his father came back for him.
Rocks wanted Harald to join him because he knew World Government ignored all Haraldâs request. But Harald refused saying he would lose all trust he had earned from other nations. Then Harald asked Rocksâ crew mates why theyâre following that man.
Shiki: âFollow!? Who!? This idiot!? Jihaha donât make me laugh!! We are on our own!! Even if Rocks drops dead it wonât make a difference!!â
[Shiki the Yakuza (later known as the Golden Lion)]
Stussy: âExactly. But there is something about his PLAN. Smells like a brilliant opportunity to get rich âșâ
[Ms. Bucking the Science Robber (Buckingham Stussy)]
Marlon: âHave you heard of âHachinosuâ? The âIsland of Exileâ? Also known as Pirate Island. Itâs the island where countries used to relocate ruthless criminals that their own prisons canât handle.â
[Don Marlon the Gangster from West Blue]
Newgate: âIt was supposed to be an âuninhabited islandâ without food where you just wait for your certain death.â
[Edward Newgate the Pirate (later known as Whitebeard)]
Wang Zhi: âBut in recent years, those criminals are surviving and forming their own organizations!! What do you think is the reason!?â
[Wang Zhi (Ochoku) the Pirate Guru (future Admiral of Pirate Island)]
Ganzui: âThere were gold veins under that island!! Some underground organization caught wind of that and lend the criminals a helping hand in becoming filthy rich!!â
[Ganzui the Smuggler]
Ganzui was the huge guy wearing a full armor that we saw in God Valley (and one of Moriaâs zombies in Thriller Bark). Don Marlon is a gangster inspired in characters like Vito Corleone (maybe Bege father?). And Wang Zhi (Ochoku) is a guy that looks like Caribou and Coribou (maybe heâs their father?).
Rocks asked again Harald to join him. Loki got out of bed and eavesdropped on Rocks and Harald conversation. Loki cried with emotion when he heard Rocksâ words.
Rocks: âCome with me Harald!! Me and you together, we will be unstoppable!!â
Harald: âStop that!! I am the king of a nation!!â
Rocks: âThat doesnât matter!! Letâs take the âWorldâ!!!â
Loki: âThe âWorldâ!!!â
Narrator: [Later, Loki realized he has been savedâŠ]
In the last page of the chapter we see several ships approaching âHachinosuâ as narrator talks about what happened 4 years later (44 years before present time).
Narrator: [4 years has passed since then, with Harald turning down Rocksâs invitation every single time he offered it⊠And finally⊠Rocksâs plan with elite group of people who agree with him, is about to be executed!!]
Rocks: âLetâs go boys!!â
Chapter ends with Rocks Piratesâ flag waving for the first time.
