This article delves into the details of this significant event, shedding light on its complexities and the roles played by these iconic figures.

The Rocky Port Incident Unveiled

The “Rocky Port Incident” has been a topic of intrigue among fans of ONE PIECE, especially with Trafalgar Law being labeled as its mastermind. Following the incident, Coby emerged as a celebrated “hero,” while Blackbeard took control of Pirate Island. Recently, Eiichiro Oda revealed the full details of this event, shedding light on its complexities and connections.

Gradual Revelations of the Rocky Port Incident

The first mention of the “Rocky Port Incident” came in Chapter 700, where Trafalgar Law was identified as the orchestrator. Law, who was once a member of the Warlords of the Sea, had his membership linked to the delivery of 100 pirate hearts to the Navy Headquarters. This connection led fans to speculate that the “Rocky Port Incident” and the delivery of the pirate hearts were intertwined events.

Further details emerged in Chapter 903, where Coby was hailed as a “hero” for protecting citizens during the incident. The plot thickened in Chapter 1059 when Blackbeard, also known as Marshall D. Teach, mentioned the incident while on Amazon Lily, stating, “Thanks for the help during the Rocky Port Incident, ‘hero’ Coby! Because of you, I was able to defeat ‘Wang Zhi’ and become the boss of Pirate Island!” Wang Zhi was a former crew member of the Rocks Pirates and had been the boss of Pirate Island before Blackbeard.

Location and Significance of Rocky Port

In Chapter 1080, a member of Blackbeard’s crew, Pizarro, revealed that the repairs at Rocky Port had just been completed. This indicates that Rocky Port is a harbor located on Pirate Island. The name “Rocky Port” translates to “rock-like harbor,” which aligns with the rocky appearance of the harbor at Hachinosu, the base of Blackbeard’s crew. It took approximately 400 chapters for these details to unfold, showcasing the slow drip of information that Oda is known for.

Oda’s Insights on the Incident

During a special project titled “Oda-chi Answers 10 Questions!”, Oda provided a summary of the incident:

• Law heard rumors of a Poneglyph on Pirate Island.
• He targeted a smuggling ship flying the flag of a certain country to infiltrate the island.
• Law hijacked the ship, only to discover it was the massive passenger ship, the “Rocky Port.”
• He inadvertently boarded the ship, leading to a confrontation with the pirates on the island.
• Coby and Blackbeard, each with their own objectives, also arrived on the island.
• Reluctantly, the three formed an alliance.
• Coby protected the ship’s king and dignitaries.
• Law hunted the hearts of the attacking pirates.
• Blackbeard defeated the then-boss of Pirate Island, Wang Zhi.
• As a result, Blackbeard became the king of Hachinosu, Law became a Warlord, and Coby was celebrated as a hero.

Oda mentioned that he might not depict this incident in the main storyline due to its length, but it was satisfying to finally have clarity on the Rocky Port Incident. Fans are even hoping for a movie adaptation!

Unanswered Questions

However, some aspects remain puzzling. The name “Rocky Port” being associated with a massive passenger ship raises questions. Pizarro’s comment about repairing the ship suggests a connection to the country, which seems odd given the timeline of events. Additionally, Coby’s original purpose for being on the ship is still unclear. Was he a bodyguard for the king and dignitaries?

In conclusion, the full story of the Rocky Port Incident has finally been revealed, providing fans with a deeper understanding of this pivotal event in the ONE PIECE universe.
