Background / History
The Rocks Pirates were founded by Rocks D. Xebec on Hachinosu Island, where he gathered powerful, unruly desperadoes and fighters after defeating all contenders 1 240 243. Originally formed for the sake of wealth, the crew grew at an astonishing pace, eventually expanding into a massive pirate organization and empire that came to be regarded as the overlords of the sea, posing a direct threat to the World Government and Marines 2 43 78 258. Over time, tensions built within the ranks due to the immense ambition of its members and Rocks's authoritarian control. Following internal friction, betrayals, and a disastrous conflict at God Valley involving the Marines, the World Government, and the Roger Pirates, key figures like Ares, Shiki the Golden Lion, and Whitebeard withdrew from the crew, leading to the ultimate disbandment and collapse of the Rocks Pirates 278 298.
