This article contains spoilers from the One Piece series.
One Piece makes its grand return to the scene with Chapter 1166 this week, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what comes next. Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, officially concluded the God Valley Incident recently. After years of waiting, fans have finally seen the fall of Rocks D. Xebec, and with that, the true events of God Valley as well. The previous chapter ended with the fall of Rocks, and now One Piece chapter 1166 will most certainly focus on the aftermath of the battle. There are still some plot points from God Valley left to resolve. More than that, there could also be a small timeskip as focus is returned to Elbaf, the land of the Giants. A lot of exciting content awaits the fans as the One Piece manga makes a big return.
The Post-Rocks Era Begins In One Piece Chapter 1166
One Piece chapter 1166 will be absolutely major in many ways, but the most important that that the story will focus on here will be the aftermath of the defeat of Rocks. First things first, Rocks D. Xebec is dead, which means that his crew is mo more. Fans will most definitely see the Rocks Pirates spread across the sea, going far and wide. The chapter might even show them growing over the years, establishing their own dominance on the seas, and creating their crews. Oda already teased Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard starting their own crews, so it is highly likely that in the post-Rocks era, these crews will be given the highlight they deserve. While their roles in the future chapter are practically secured, fans also need to look at what happened immediately after the defeat of Rocks on God Valley.

Gaban And Rayleigh Rescue Roger And Garp
One Piece chapter 1166 will most likely throw some focus on Scopper Gaban and Silvers Rayleigh, both of whom went back to retrieve Roger from God Valley. After unleashing their powerful attacks, Roger and Garp would both be exhausted, unable to even stand. This means it’ll fall upon Gaban and Rayleigh to rescue Roger. Knowing the latter, he will probably ask his crew to save Garp as well.

Another intriguing thing that One Piece chapter 1166 could tackle is the fate of God Valley. It was said by Sengoku that God Valley was wiped off the face of the earth after the incident. However, Imu already left the island, and Rocks is dead. It is unclear what exactly happened to God Valley after the battle and how it truly disappeared. Perhaps, this aspect of the story will be focused on by Oda in the upcoming chapter of the story. It is possible that Moria returned a few years later to make God Valley into Thriller Bark. Oda could also have something else planned entirely.

At the same time, One Piece chapter 1166 could also take the fans back to Elbaf. The news of the gall of Rocks will likely spread, and fans will most definitely see Harald and Loki react to it. Perhaps, Loki will even swear vengeance on the World Government for what they did to Rocks. Oda could, and probably will, also introduce a timeskip here, taking the fans to the age of Roger, where he and his crew were at the top of the era. There is a lot of stuff that Oda can show in the chapter, and it’ll be particularly important as it will set the pace for the next few chapters to follow. This chapter will shape the Elbaf flashback post Rocks, which is very important.
