Based on what fans saw previously, One Piece will continue to focus on Rocks D. Xebec and his adventures in One Piece 1156, and it is going to be a chapter full of exciting combat. At the same time, One Piece chapter 1156 could also dive into the God Valley Incident, which fans have been waiting to see for about 7 years now.

Rocks And His Crew Will Be Bigger And Stronger

It is highly likely that One Piece chapter 1156 will pick up right where the last chapter left off. As fans know, Rocks's master plan has already been revealed in the story. He aims to take control of the Pirate Island, which is currently overrun with pirates and exiles. The Pirate Island, also known as the Island of Exiles, was the place where most of the criminals used to be sent, that is, until a huge reserve of gold was found underneath. Once the Underworld got involved, the exiles became rich and established supremacy over the island. Now, even the Government is struggling to take control of the Pirate Island.

Rocks intends to strike a deal with the Government and take money from them in exchange for clearing out the Pirate Island for them. However, he actually plans to take their money and keep the island for himself. That's exactly what fans will see in One Piece 1156.

Rocks D. Xebec and the Rocks Pirates will most likely attack the Pirate Island and defeat the hordes of pirates there, and eventually, betray the Governments, which will make them even more infamous. The true Pirate Island will most likely be established in One Piece chapter 1156.

While Rocks D. Xebec and his attack on the Pirate Island is most likely going to be the focus of One Piece Chapter 1156, it is highly likely that fans will also see bits and pieces from Elbaf. After all, this is Loki's flashback. Loki will have grown quite a bit now, since it's been 4 years. At the same time, he's found salvation in Rocks, so he could've tried emulating him, which fans might see in this chapter. Loki's rampages might have stopped, and he might even have started dreaming of setting out to the sea himself.

I will use the Pirate Island as my base, destroy the Navy, bring down the Government, and become the King of the World! — Rocks D. Xebec

The God Valley Incident Will Be Set Up In One Piece Chapter 1156

Most importantly, One Piece chapter 1156 could finally set up the God Valley Incident. It is expected of the chapter to skip a few years in time, just as each flashback chapter that preceded it has done. As such, One Piece 1156 will likely go from 44 years ago to around 39 or 38 years ago.

It is possible that Gol D. Roger, who started gaining some fame around this time, will make his appearance, and most importantly, the events leading up to the God Valley Incident could also be focused on. Given that Rocks is the center of attention, all signs point to the God Valley Incident being shown soon.

One Piece Chapter 1156 will be out this week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on August 3. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1156 is August 3, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
