Motives Behind Rocks D. Xebec’s Visit to Elbaf
Possible Business with King Harald
The curiosity surrounding Rocks D. Xebec’s purpose in Elbaf is palpable among fans. While it’s plausible he was merely passing through, his interaction with Loki suggests a deeper connection. Elbaf is a unique territory not easily accessed, raising questions about why he chose this location for his endeavors.
Historically, it’s conceivable that Rocks D. Xebec, along with his crew, might have had protective allegiance to Elbaf. If this were the case, it indicates a significant alliance with King Harald. There could be various motivations for this visit. One could speculate that Rocks was there to counter a threat posed to Elbaf, either from external forces or the World Government, ensuring the safety of its inhabitants.

It is also likely that Rocks harbored an interest in the legendary Devil Fruit associated with Elbaf. Furthermore, the narrative suggests that, upon King Harald’s passing, Elbaf lost its protector, which may lead to a connection with the Holy Knights.
Fans can look forward to the imminent release of One Piece chapter 1146, slated for April 20, 2025. As always, readers can catch the latest chapter on Manga Plus.
