The God Valley Incident has officially begun! Chapter 1160 threw fans into the heart of the chaos, with the arrival of the world’s most feared pirates, the God Knights, The Hero Garp and a young Marine named Dragon. The stage is set for a battle royale that will not only decide the fate of the island but will also set a new course for the world. Chapter 1161 is expected to dive deeper into this cataclysmic event.
One Piece Chapter 1160 Recap: God Valley’s Unveiling
One Piece Chapter 1160, “The God Valley Incident” was a treasure trove of lore and action. The chapter revealed that the Davy Clan, the ancestral lineage of Rocks D. Xebec and Marshall D. Teach, were the hidden residents of God Valley. A Celestial Dragon even hinted at a connection between the Davy Clan and the Buccaneers.
The chapter also introduced us to a young Marine, Monkey D. Dragon, who unlike his superiors, questioned the morality of the Native Hunting Tournament. In a shocking act of defiance that marked his first step towards becoming a revolutionary, Dragon shot a Celestial Dragon to protect an imprisoned Kuma. He then made a promise to Shanks & Shamrock’s dying mother to save her children and the chapter ended with Dragon rescuing Shanks and Shamrock from the chaos.
Meanwhile, the arrival of the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates sets up the legendary battle. Rocks, despite his grand ambitions, was shown to be primarily motivated by his desire to save his wife and child from the hunting tournament. The chapter ended with all the major players including Garp’s fleet converging on the island, ready for war.
One Piece Chapter 1161 Predictions & Theories: The War Begins
With the God Valley Incident now in full swing, Chapter 1161 will finally show us the true power of the legends. With Dragon now on a “revolutionary” path of his own and the Davy Clan’s secret possibly revealed, the stage is set for a truly epic confrontation.
- Dragon’s Escape: Dragon’s heroic act of defiance and his promise to Shanks mother will be the focus of the chapter. He now has the two children and with the Marines and God Knights in hot pursuit, he will need to find a way to escape the island. This could be where he awakens his Devil Fruit, the Wind Wind Fruit, using a massive storm to escape and fulfill his promise.
- The Davy Clan’s True Power: The God Knight’s fear of the Davy Clan and the hint of their connection to the Buccaneers suggests they are more than just a regular clan. Chapter 1161 might finally reveal their special abilities, which could be related to their unique physique or a specific fighting style. This could also shed light on why Blackbeard has such a unique body structure.
- The God Knight’s Might: We’ve seen the fearsome reputation of the God Knights but we have yet to see their full power. With Garling and rest of the members now on the island, Chapter 1161 could showcase their might as they clash with the top tier pirates.
How will Dragon escape God Valley with the two children? And what will the alliance of the pirates and Marines look like? Let us know your theories in comments!
