Background and History
Captain of the Rocks Pirates
Rocks ruled Hachinosu Island as captain of the Rocks Pirates. He recruited formidable pirates and sought unusual powers, personally inviting Dimon after learning that the brewer could create the Elixir of Immortality 4 5.
His crew expanded rapidly through the Davy Back Fight, forcibly taking members from rival crews. Although the method created a powerful force, it also bred distrust, poor cohesion, and infiltrators such as CP0 agent Silver Axe 36 199.
Rocks led the crew in abducting two Celestial Dragons at Sabaody Archipelago, demanding Devil Fruits as ransom. He fought Garp directly, but ordered a retreat rather than risk Marine reinforcements arriving 7 8. After receiving the ransom fruits, he and several core crew members became immortal through Dimon’s elixir 11.
God Valley and Imprisonment
Rocks gathered his crew to invade God Valley, publicly citing six powerful Devil Fruits as the prize while apparently pursuing another objective connected to what had been taken from him 22 23 27. The operation ended in the Rocks Pirates’ defeat and disbandment; Rocks himself was captured after the World Government’s trap at God Valley 27 199.
The World Government erased public discussion of Rocks and imprisoned him beneath Pangea Castle. Seastone swords pierced his body, his limbs were repeatedly severed, and his regeneration was deliberately delayed through a seven-day torture cycle 36 53.
Dimon located him during an initial infiltration of Pangea Castle, but the Five Elders’ intervention prevented an escape. Rocks used his remaining strength to suppress Saint Gorosei and create what he believed was an opening for Dimon to flee 53 54.
Liberation and New Allegiance
Sixteen years after his capture, Dimon returned to Pangea Castle, converted Rocks into a demonic subordinate, and restored his body. Rocks immediately broke free of his chains and fought the Five Elders during the escape 156 157.
Following his release, Rocks declined to rebuild the Rocks Pirates. He acknowledged that forcing people into his crew and binding them through oaths had been a mistake, since loyalty could not be compelled 158.
He instead worked alongside Dimon and Kaido, traveled to Elbaf, fought Harald for ten days, and continued seeking ways to oppose Imu and the Celestial Dragons 159 166 230. Dimon later appointed him as the Five Elders’ Minister of Environment 319.
Appearance
Rocks is a burly, imposing man with a rugged face and an oppressive presence. His hair is black and white; it was once described as coarse, puffed braids, while later appearances show it as long and disheveled 4 325.
- A ferocious scar runs diagonally across his right eye 325.
- He wears a white captain’s coat with gold trim in his human form 325.
- His Toy form resembles a one-eyed captain with an eyepatch, wings, and a small saber 223 254.
- Dimon’s Demon Power healed his mutilated body without visibly changing his human appearance 157.
Personality
Rocks is ambitious, aggressive, and openly drawn to power. He targeted Celestial Dragons for Devil Fruits, wanted to recruit Harald into his crew, and once dreamed of becoming King of the World 5 11 218.
He is also confrontational and battle-hungry. Rocks readily challenged Harald, dismissed a request to avoid fighting, and treated his newly awakened Devil Fruit as an opportunity to test himself against the Marines 166 168 254.
His imprisonment changed his view of leadership. Rather than revive the Rocks Pirates after his release, he admitted that his coercive methods had invited betrayal 158. His hatred of the Celestial Dragons remained intact, driven by God Valley’s destruction, the loss of the Davy Clan, and uncertainty over his wife Alice’s fate 168 223.
Despite his harshness, Rocks showed genuine concern for Dimon during the failed rescue attempt and later regarded him as his great benefactor 54 158.
Abilities & Skills
Conqueror’s Haki and Physical Combat
Rocks possesses King-level combat power, combining powerful Conqueror’s Haki with swordsmanship and overwhelming physical strength 7 166.
- His Conqueror’s Haki manifests as blood-red lightning and briefly immobilized Saint Gorosei despite Rocks’ weakened, imprisoned condition 54.
- He fought Harald—another King-level fighter—for ten days, with their attacks capable of cleaving mountain peaks 166.
- He split the Sandworm in half, blocked Great Wart Hog Fengxi’s charge, and tore the sky apart during their Haki clash 157.
- His long-range Conqueror’s Haki halted Blackbeard’s teleportation and forced Blackbeard’s crew to their knees 325.
Divide-Divide Fruit
After selecting and eating the Divide-Divide Fruit, Rocks gained a Paramecia ability centered on separation and fragmentation 230 231.
- Grants immunity to slashing attacks 231.
- Allows him to split his body and control separated parts within a 200-meter range 231.
- Before awakening, he could fracture a wine glass and suspend its pieces, but could not yet control the ability freely 231.
Divide-Divide Fruit Awakening
Rocks awakened the Divide-Divide Fruit through sustained training within roughly a year of acquiring it 232 254.
- Rending Light — A sword slash that split Dragon’s wind barrier in two 254.
- Sky Rend — A ranged strike that shattered the air and fragmented Zephyr’s body 254.
- The awakened ability can destroy barriers, attacks, and physical targets through a power described as shattering everything 254 325.
Immortality and Regeneration
Rocks became immortal by drinking the Elixir of Immortality 11.
- Lost limbs regenerate, though Seastone restraints and repeated mutilation can slow the process dramatically 53.
- The elixir’s power expelled hallucinogenic poison from his body during his confrontation with Blackbeard 325.
- Immortality did not prevent pain, incapacitation, or prolonged imprisonment 53 157.
Davy Clan Knowledge
Rocks retains inherited Davy Clan knowledge concerning Devil Fruits and the clan’s history 159 214.
- He explained that Davy Clan members with two hearts can possess the power of Davy Jones and consume two Devil Fruits; his son Teach is one such individual 214.
- He described the clan’s method for Devil Fruit awakening: Zoans require repeated high-intensity combat and near-death recovery, while Paramecias must develop an additional ability category 231.
- According to clan legend, Davy Jones was Joy Boy’s boatswain and may have been involved in Joy Boy’s defeat 214.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Ame no Habakiri — Loaned to Rocks by Dimon during the escape from Pangea Castle; Rocks used it against the Five Elders and later against Loki 157 162.
- Toy captain’s saber — Weapon carried in his Mephisto Toy form 223.
- Elixir of Immortality — The drink that granted him immortality 11.
Relationships
- Dimon — Former recruit to the Rocks Pirates who later attempted to rescue him, converted him into a demonic subordinate, and ultimately freed him from Pangea Castle. Rocks calls Dimon his great benefactor 4 156 158.
- Kaido — Former Rocks Pirate and later ally. They fought together against Imu and the Five Elders after Rocks’ release 157 158.
- Harald — An old acquaintance and desired recruit whose relationship with Rocks became a rivalry. They fought evenly for ten days in Elbaf 11 166.
- Davy Jibek Teach — Rocks’ son. Rocks learned Teach was alive under Whitebeard’s protection, but avoided visiting him to prevent endangering his family 159. He later confronted an entity controlling Teach’s body 325.
- Gol D. Roger — Rival and occasional collaborator. They argued and planned operations together, including the proposed theft of Drum Kingdom and Alabasta 213 214.
- Imu and the Celestial Dragons — Rocks’ principal enemies. He blames them for God Valley’s destruction and the apparent death of much of the Davy Clan 168 223.
- Silver Axe — A former crewmate revealed to have infiltrated the Rocks Pirates as a CP0 agent and sold information about the Elixir of Immortality to the World Government 199.

Trivia

- His Toy identity, Mephisto, allowed him to move through Mary Geoise without being recognized as Rocks 213 223.
- He can dismiss his Toy form by releasing Haki, as demonstrated when he accepted his Five Elders appointment 319.
