One Piece Chapter 1162 was nothing short of a masterpiece. As the title suggests, God Valley Battle Royal (G·V·B·R), it delivered a full-scale battle royale between Pirates and Marines. It also set the stage for the Rocks Pirates’ confrontation with Imu herself.

It’s looking to be one of the most defining moments in the manga’s history. Here’s a breakdown of what happens and when you can read it officially.

One Piece Chapter 1162, titled “G·V·B·R (God Valley Battle Royal),” began with Rayleigh carrying Shakky out of the battle, with Shiki making sure that no pirates attack them recklessly.

Meanwhile, Garp is stunned by the devastating number of civilian casualties caused during the events at God Valley. He contacts Sengoku for more details, highlighting the moral and strategic dilemmas faced by the Marines.

On the battlefield, Rocks D. Xebec rescues Eris and Teach while Garling and other members of the Davy Clan pursue them, many of whom are now transformed into monstrous beings. Rocks fights mercilessly, killing the remaining Davy Clan and even his own family members to save his family and ensure their escape. Eris promises to meet him in Lulusia Island later.

Chapter 1162 features multiple shocking moments. Big Mom manages to acquire the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, thinking of giving it to Katakuri. However, she ends up being attacked by Kaido, who devours the Devil Fruit immediately and reverts to his iconic dragon form. 

Meanwhile, Imu manifests through Saint Saturn in a terrifying spider-like form, leaving even Garp and Roger speechless with the sheer level of Haki.

Rocks, Whitebeard, and Kaido unite to fight against the overwhelming power of Imu, even though they have nothing to gain from it. The chapter ends as Rocks declares, “This is the world itself,” as he gazes out upon Imu, and solidifies the moment as being among the most crucial in the One Piece saga.

Additionally, the chapter highlights Garp’s moral stance. Though being a high-ranking Marine, he is horrified to see the sheer number of casualties of civilians and starts questioning the World Government, showing the depth of his integrity and setting up future conflicts.

Final Thoughts on One Piece Chapter 1162

One Piece Chapter 1162 was more than just a flashback chapter. It gave us a closer look at the tremendous power of Rocks, who was able to defeat Garling, who had regeneration ability. It also finally shed light on how Kaido acquired his Devil Fruit.

For a long time, we assumed Big Mom intended to give Kaido the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon. However, the latest chapter clarifies that she never planned to do so. It’s possible she had another Devil Fruit in mind for Kaido, reserving this one for Katakuri instead.

With the cover story concluding in this chapter, a new adventure may begin in the next installment. Meanwhile, the God Valley Incident has now reached its peak point with Kaido, Whitebeard, and Rocks uniting to face Imu. Get ready, because the next chapter promises an all-out battle between these incredible powerhouses.
