In One Piece Chapter 1154 English, titled "Unable to Die," we witness a poignant journey as Ocho takes Yamato to the grave of a revered hero from West Blue, who was raised in the region of Ringo. Following the tumultuous events involving Big Mom, Elbaph has faced a series of devastating disasters, including fires, storms, and famine.
As tensions rise, the desperate giants of Elbaph are on the verge of attacking Ida and Hajrudin. However, King Harald makes a timely return, bringing foreign aid to support the struggling community. Tragically, Estrida succumbs to illness before Harald's arrival, while Ida finds a new purpose by opening a bar in the underworld.
Estrida’s sister, meanwhile, mistreats Loki, further complicating the young giant's life as Harald focuses on rebuilding Elbaph. Fast forward to 48 years ago, Loki, in a moment of desperation, unleashes giant beasts upon the villages. It is only when he observes other children assisting Hajrudin that he realizes the depth of his loneliness.
The chapter takes a dramatic turn when the Rocks Pirates make a sudden appearance in the underworld, inquiring whether they are in Elbaph and if Harald is present. It is revealed that Rocks D. Xebec had encountered Harald at the Reverie eight years prior (56 years ago from the current timeline). Following this meeting, Rocks killed a Marine Admiral, leading to his status as a wanted man.
In a stunning revelation, we see Rocks D. Xebec's full visage—his two-tone hair strikingly reminiscent of Blackbeard, hinting at a deeper connection: Rocks is indeed the father of Blackbeard.
