One Piece 1157 Spoilers Reddit: Rocks Could be the Biological Father of Marshall D. Teach?!

One Piece 1157 Spoilers & Theory: The Mystery of the Crown Jewel of Hachinosu and Its Link to the God Valley Incident

A Reddit user has shared a fascinating theory regarding the infamous God Valley Incident—a storyline in One Piece that remains shrouded in mystery. According to this speculation, the incident may have been triggered by the theft of Rocks D. Xebec’s most valuable treasure, known as the Crown Jewel of Hachinosu. The theory draws inspiration from the legend of Helen of Troy, whose beauty famously sparked the Trojan War.

Clues from Chapter 1154

From recent developments, the theory suggests:

Rocks may once have been a king of a kingdom officially recognized by the World Government.
After killing a Marine Admiral, he became a wanted man and turned to piracy.
Rocks could be the biological father of Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard), who may have taken his mother’s surname—similar to Portgas D. Ace.
Since Teach is currently 40 years old and the God Valley Incident took place 38 years ago, he would have been only 2 years old at the time. Whitebeard’s lack of recognition toward Teach when he later joined his crew could mean that Rocks’ child was presumed dead or his existence was deliberately hidden.

The Theory’s Background

Prior to the God Valley Incident, the God Knights allegedly stole the “Crown Jewel of Hachinosu.” This treasure was so significant to Rocks that he was willing to go to extreme lengths to reclaim it.

God Valley was, at the time, hosting a rare gathering of numerous Celestial Dragons and possibly the full force of the Holy Knights. Upon hearing about a “human hunting game” on the island, Rocks moved in with his crew to strike, aiming to recover the stolen treasure. His actions caught the attention of Gol D. Roger, whose arrival ultimately drew Vice Admiral Garp into the conflict.

However, unexpected events may have revealed to Rocks that his treasure had already been lost or destroyed. This revelation pushed him into a violent frenzy, leading him to attack civilians and forcing Roger and Garp to join forces to stop him.

Known Outcomes of the God Valley Incident

The Rocks Pirates disbanded. Big Mom and Kaido escaped with the Uo Uo no Mi, while Whitebeard, injured by Garling, is rumored to have obtained the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix.
Garling earned the title “Champion of God Valley.”
Garp became celebrated as the “Hero of the Marines.”
Roger took a treasure chest from the island, which contained a one-year-old Shanks (Garling’s son). Roger raised Shanks, who would go on to become Pirate King after Rocks’ fall.

Major Twist – The Crown Jewel Was a Person, Not an Object

This theory proposes that the Crown Jewel of Hachinosu was not a physical artifact but a person—Rocks’ wife—who had given birth to Teach two years before the incident. She was rumored to be the most beautiful woman in the world, a red-haired maiden often called the “gem of Hachinosu.”

Her beauty allegedly drew the attention of the Celestial Dragons, particularly Figarland Garling, leader of the Holy Knights. Shortly after giving birth to Teach, she was abducted and forced to marry Garling, later giving birth to twins: Shamrock and Shanks.

It’s possible that she had died before or during the God Valley Incident. In an effort to protect Shanks, she may have hidden him inside the treasure chest later found by Roger. Her death—or the revelation of her twin children—could have been what drove Rocks into his rampage against innocents, leading to the joint intervention by Roger and Garp.

Potential Implications

If this theory holds true, Teach and Shanks would be half-brothers—one carrying the will of Xebec, the other inheriting the will of Roger (and possibly Joy Boy’s Will of D). Shamrock and Shanks might also be part of the D lineage through their mother.

In addition, Jewelry Bonney—speculated to be Shamrock’s daughter from a forced marriage to Ginny—would also have D blood. Bonney’s admiration for Nika could set her up to inherit the Will of D from Luffy, much like Shanks inherited it from Roger.

This twist would deeply intertwine the bloodlines of the Figarland, Rocks, Gol, and Monkey families, making the themes of inherited will, fate, and the struggle between destiny and free will even more prominent in the One Piece storyline.
