Background / History

Rocks arrived at God Valley with the Rocks Pirates during the Celestial Dragons’ Human Hunting Game. His landing force, including Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and Shiki, overwhelmed the Marines defending the island. 1 2

During the destruction of the Davy Tribe settlement, Rocks rescued two children from demonized tribesmen before racing home to find his wife, Alice, and son, Marshall D. Teach. He found Lin Nuo holding off multiple demons while protecting them, then destroyed the attackers and thanked Lin Nuo sincerely. 5

Rocks recognized that Lin Nuo’s arrival and rescue of his family were too convenient to be accidental. After confronting him, he accepted Lin Nuo into his fleet as an apprentice crewman, while insisting that saving Alice and Teach did not exempt him from proving himself. Rocks immediately assigned him to escort them safely to the ship. 6

Figarland Garling’s forces ambushed the group soon afterward. Rocks stayed behind to confront the God’s Knights and demonized members of his own tribe, allowing Lin Nuo to escape with Alice and Teach. 6

Appearance

Rocks is a burly, bear-like man with wild blue-and-white hair, a lightning-shaped facial scar, and an imposing presence. He commonly wears a captain’s coat or cape and carries a curved blade. 5 28 40

• Wild blue-and-white hair. 28 40
• A lightning-shaped scar running across his face. 28
• Black-red Conqueror’s Haki lightning surrounding his attacks. 5 40
• Uses a curved sword that has fought alongside him through numerous battles. 6 13

Personality

Rocks is ambitious, confrontational, and intensely confident. He seeks to overturn the World Government and kill Imu, treating overwhelming opposition as something to be crushed rather than avoided. 3 40

Beneath his ruthless public image, he is deeply protective of the Davy Tribe and his family. The massacre of his people enraged him, while threats against Alice, Teach, and the Davy family repeatedly pushed him to act recklessly against Imu. 5 9

He is also perceptive and direct in dealing with allies. Rocks saw through Lin Nuo’s hidden motives almost immediately, but chose to recruit him and judge him by strength and merit rather than reject him outright. 6

Abilities & Skills

Conqueror’s Haki

Rocks possesses exceptionally powerful Conqueror’s Haki, which he channels through his blade as black-red lightning and destructive shockwaves.

• Destroyed demonized Davy tribesmen with a Haki-infused slash. 5
• Repelled attacks from God’s Knights while shielding Lin Nuo, Alice, and Teach. 6
• Fought alongside Whitebeard, Linlin, Kaido, Roger, Garp, Rayleigh, and Gaban in a combined assault against Imu. 10
• His final strike temporarily disrupted Imu’s Haki suppression, creating the opening Kuma needed to send Lin Nuo away. 13
• Prolonged use against Imu left him severely injured and exhausted. 9 13

Swordsmanship

Rocks fights with a curved blade, combining swordsmanship with overwhelming Haki.

• Abyssal Fang — A Haki-coated slash that annihilated several demons threatening Alice and Teach. 5
• Abyssal Finale: God Burial — His all-out attack against Imu; it disrupted her Haki field but failed to defeat her. 13
• Abyssal Curse — A Haki-powered sword strike used against Garp during the Marine blockade. 40

Leadership and Combat Judgment

Rocks commands through forceful confidence and decisive action.

• Formally rebuilt the Rocks Pirates after freeing more than three hundred dangerous prisoners from a World Government prison. 26 28
• Took command of the joint attack on Imu despite fighting beside traditional enemies such as Roger and Garp. 10
• Prioritized evacuating Alice, Teach, and Lin Nuo before committing his remaining strength to battle. 6 13

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Relationships

• Marshall D. Teach — Young son. Rocks is fiercely protective of Teach and later learns that Lin Nuo kept him safe after God Valley. 5 28
• Lin Nuo — Apprentice crewman and later described as Rocks’s partner. Rocks recruited him after he saved Alice and Teach, tested him with an escort mission, and later exhausted his strength to enable Lin Nuo’s escape. 6 13 46
• Whitebeard — Powerful ally and former subordinate. Whitebeard repeatedly fought beside Rocks against Imu and later supported him after his final strike failed. 9 13
• Charlotte Linlin — Key ally in the rebuilt Rocks Pirates; she supplied Rocks with Marine intelligence concerning Lin Nuo and Alice. 28 40
• Kaido — Key ally in the rebuilt Rocks Pirates. Kaido admits he intends to eventually form his own force, but values fighting alongside Rocks for the time being. 28
• Monkey D. Garp — Rival with a complicated history at God Valley. Rocks later offered Garp a chance to withdraw during their Marine blockade clash. 40
• Imu — Primary enemy. Imu specifically seeks to erase the Davy bloodline and uses threats against Rocks’s family to provoke him. 6 9 11

Story Role / Major Arcs

God Valley Incident

Rocks arrives at God Valley as one of the conflict’s central pirate powers. After saving his family from the Davy Tribe massacre, he confronts Garling’s ambush, faces Imu alongside pirates and Marines, and ultimately spends his last strength to create an escape route for the unconscious Lin Nuo. 1 5 6 9 13

Rebuilding the Rocks Pirates

After surviving God Valley, Rocks attacks a secret World Government prison in the West Blue, frees over three hundred criminals, and declares his intention to rebuild his fleet and retake Beehive Island. 26

He reunites with Kaido and Linlin on a deserted island, learns that Alice and Teach survived under Lin Nuo’s protection, and publicly announces the return of the Rocks Pirates. 28

Marine Blockade

Rocks leads his rebuilt fleet through a large Marine blockade in the Grand Line. He clashes directly with Garp using Abyssal Curse, while Linlin and Kaido support the fleet’s breakthrough. 40

Trivia

• Rocks’s family name is presented inconsistently as Davy D. Xebec and Rocks D. Zebek. 5 26
• He considers strength and merit essential even for those who have earned his gratitude; Lin Nuo’s rescue of his family did not exempt him from apprenticeship evaluation. 6
• Despite his fearsome reputation, Rocks personally carries the exhausted Lin Nuo after the defense of Alice and Teach. 5
