The long-running manga epic One Piece is approaching a historic milestone, as Chapter 1165 prepares for release on Sunday, November 9, 2025, marking one of the most anticipated moments in Eiichiro Oda's sprawling 25-year saga. Following the explosive God Valley revelations in Chapter 1164, millions of readers worldwide are eagerly awaiting what could be the beginning of the climactic showdown between Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, and the demonic Rocks D. Xebec.
Oda's One Piece has long transcended cultural and geographic boundaries. Since its debut in 1997, the series has followed Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates in their quest to find the legendary treasure, the "One Piece," and claim the title of Pirate King. Now entering its Final Saga, the story has shifted focus to long-buried mysteries such as the Void Century, the ancient weapons, and the true identity of the "Will of D."
The newest arc, unfolding through the God Valley flashback, has redefined the mythos of the series. Chapter 1164 ended with a seismic twist - the revelation that Rocks D. Xebec, manipulated by the shadowy Imu, had transformed into a monstrous being who annihilated Big Mom and Kaido in one strike. Before the chapter's close, Rocks uttered a chilling command to his former rivals: he wanted Roger and Garp to kill him. The setup for their long-rumored battle has sent shockwaves through the One Piece community.
Adding further intrigue, Chapter 1164 hinted that the "Will of D." - a central enigma of the series - might actually stand for the "Will of Davy," connecting the mythic Davy Jones to the origins of the world's power structure. Fans have dubbed this twist "Oda's biggest reveal in years," with social media flooded by theories dissecting every clue.
