Even before the days of legends like Roger and Whitebeard, the seas were ruled by infamous sailors who overshadowed all other powers, the latter of which he was also a part of. These were incredibly powerful characters with aspirations to become kings of the world, and were the Rocks Pirates, named after their captain Rocks D. Xebec, whom Sengoku himself called Roger's first and greatest enemy.
Their captain, Rox, set his sights on becoming the Pirate King. And he bared the fangs of the crew members of the World Government, as if they were a terrorist organization.
Although the achievements of the Rocks Pirates are said to be legendary, the Rocks Pirates are shrouded in mystery as they are the only known entities associated with God Valley. This is also where they met their defeat and where Rocks himself was last seen, through an unlikely alliance between Roger and Garp. God Valley Island itself and the events that went down there are still unknown, so it is clear that the world's most infamous pirate fell that day.
Rox's Fate
Could Rocks still be alive?
When Sengoku revealed information about Rocks and the God Valley incident to the Marines, he made it clear that Rocks had died on the island. However, the possibility that he survived in one way or another may still exist, as many fan theories claim that he could have survived in some way, or that Oda's expression itself is intentionally vague.
After the Native Hunting Game began, various pirates and marines converged on God Valley, where one of the greatest secrets in world government history was kept, and as a result of everything that happened there, its entire location and history were revealed. Related content has been deleted. From the Marine Corps' perspective, it would make sense to withhold information about such villains from the public. Because the real truth behind Rocks and his motivations would be dangerous for them to reveal to everyone.
Survival through Yami Yami no Mi:
Rock D. The prevailing theory about Xebec's survival is that it has to be related to Yami Yami no Mi or directly through Blackbeard. It's very likely that these two villains share some kind of connection due to all the similarities they share, the most important of which is their ambition to become kings of the world. Many fans believe that the Rocks may have survived due to the existence of Yami Yami no Mi Devil Fruit.
This is because it is revealed that Devil Fruits have a will of their own and can even channel the will of their previous users. This is most clearly demonstrated in Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi, Joyboy's willing model: Nika. Likewise, Rocks may have been a previous user of Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit, and his will may have continued through the Devil Fruit that Blackbeard eventually ate when his “death” occurred in God Valley. This way, Rocks would technically still live within Blackbeard.
These things cannot be stopped: inherited will. people's dreams. The ebb and flow of the times.
Survival through other means:
The theory that the Rocks are 'alive' through Blackbeard's fruit makes much more sense, but there may be other reasons that explain how the Rocks are still alive. One is that his forces could be taken prisoner by the Marines after being overpowered by the combined might of Roger, Garp, and possibly Garling and God's Knights. The strength of this theory is that he may be sent to the lowest level of Impel Down, hidden from others.
Apart from this, Rocks may have escaped, but this is pure speculation and not based on any evidence. But fans will have to wait and see what Oda brings to the table for this character, and regardless of whether he's alive or not, a devastating truth about the world will surely be revealed whenever he reappears in the future.
