One Piece Chapter 1166 Important Things You Missed

For months, the One Piece manga had been focused on the God Valley Incident. Oda spent a long time on the flashback, which is understandable as it is one of the most important events in the history of One Piece.

After multiple chapters, the God Valley Incident finally came to an end in Chapter 1165 with the defeat of Davy D. Xebec. In the subsequent chapter, Oda revealed what happened to the various characters who were involved in the God Valley Incident.

Xebec Was Killed By Garling

The Great Pirate Was Finally Dead

Garling received all the praise

In Chapter 1166, Davy D. Xebec was alive and breathing, but he was in no condition to move. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that he could have survived if some members of the Rocks Pirates had decided to help him. Unfortunately, most of them were on their way out off the island.

As Xebec lay on his back, he was thinking about Roger and Garp. The legendary pirate wanted the two to get away from the island, as he wanted them to live. He was also grateful to them, as they put their lives at risk in order to stop his rampage. It wasn’t long before Garling, Maffey, and Sommers showed up at his location. It was Garling who landed the finishing blow on Xebec, killing him in the process.

Sengoku And Garp Have Different Ways Of Doing Things

Garp And Sengoku Hate The Upper Ranks

Garp and Sengoku wanted a better future for the Marines

When Garp read the newspaper, he learned how the entire incident had been falsified. He was furious and couldn’t believe that the World Government would stoop so low. Sengoku was in the room with him, and he responded that he would simply turn a blind eye to the World Government’s decisions. However, he did explain that both the Marines and the World Government were massive organizations, which would make it impossible to hold everyone accountable for their actions.

Sengoku’s reasoning made Garp angrier, and it caused the latter to attack him. Sengoku held the belief that it was foolish to try and change things when they’re not so far from the top brass. Garp understood his reason and also revealed that he would stay with the Marines.

Dragon Left The Marines After The God Valley Incident

Dragon Hated The Celestial Dragons

Dragon made his decision after the God Valley Incident

In the God Valley Incident, fans saw Dragon in action as a Marine for the first time. Before the arc, a lot of theories suggested that he was actually a Marine Admiral, but that wasn’t the case. Garp was a regular foot soldier who was tasked with helping the Celestial Dragons. However, Dragon’s strong morality didn’t let him stand idly while the Celestial Dragons killed innocent people for fun. He even attacked a Celestial Dragon and a higher-ranking Marine.

In One Piece Chapter 1166, Dragon was in a prison, where he was talking to Garp. Dragon informed Garp of his decision to quit the Marines. He also told his father that he despised him. Garp didn’t show any emotion and just responded with an “okay.” He also tossed the key to the prison door, which Dragon used to escape.

King Harald Regretted Not Helping His Friend

Harald Was Saddened By Xebec’s Death

Harald rued not helping his best friend

In the early part of the flashback, Harald and Xebec were often seen interacting with each other. The two met in Marijoa, where they crossed weapons, leading to a massive shockwave that wiped out everything within a few kilometers. Xebec was impressed with Harald’s strength and wanted to recruit him. In fact, he tried multiple times, but Harald stood firm. Unfortunately, their friendship deteriorated over time.

Harald was also included in One Piece Chapter 1166. He broke down into tears as he remembered Xebec’s plea for him. The pirate asked Harald to lend him aid, but the latter refused because he wanted to focus on Elbaf. In the final pages of the chapter, it’s quite apparent that Harald was no longer his old self, and Xebec’s death had a massive impact on him.

Imu Likely Made Harald A Slave Of The World Government

Imu Has Been Interested In Elbaf

Imu likely used Domi Reversi at some point

The last panel of Chapter 1166 features Harald and Imu. When Harald arrived outside the Marine Headquarters, he had only one thing in mind—begging for the World Government’s forgiveness. Harald had already bid farewell to his family back in Elbaf, so he was ready to go all-out. In fact, he shocked everyone in the area by ripping out his horns.

Harald also made it clear that he would do anything to anyone for the sins of the Giants, even if it meant becoming a slave. As previously stated, Imu could be seen in a separate panel, implying that they heard Harald’s offer. It has already been established that Imu is interested in Elbaf, and what better way to control the nation than to make its monarch a slave.

The God Valley Incident Is Arguably The Most Important Event In Modern History

The God Valley Incident Changed A Lot Of Things

A lot of people’s lives changed after the incident

The God Valley Incident proved to be a major turning point in history. It involved some of the biggest names in One Piece, and almost all of them went on to achieve great things. For Roger and Garp, it was a major turning point. Garp came to be known as the Hero of the Marines, while Roger took a major step towards becoming the greatest pirate in the world.

Other characters like Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and Shiki started their own crews. Meanwhile, Kuma escaped from the island and started a new life. Dragon learned the truth about the World Government, which led to his departure from the Marines.
