The full spoilers of One Piece chapter 1157 have started circulating surprisingly early on the internet, owing to the magazine break last week. This preview into the upcoming installment, officially scheduled for release on August 18, 2025, has sparked chaos within the fandom due to major revelations about the Rocks Pirates and the God Valley Incident.

One Piece chapter 1157 primarily focuses on three parties: The Rocks Pirates, Harald, and Shakuyaku. The first half of the installment showcases the powers of Xebec and his crew, as well as the disorderly relationship between the members.

Additionally, Harald’s internal turmoil continues as the progress of his nation is hindered by the sinister forces of the World Government. Finally, Shakuyaku’s beauty steals the spotlight yet again, as her relationship with the Rocks Pirates and potential key role in the God Valley incident is introduced.

One Piece chapter 1157 spoilers suggest the most unexpected reason behind the God Valley Incident

One Piece chapter 1157, titled The Legendary Bar, begins with the cover story of Yamato’s pilgrimage, as she visits the grave of a hero who had died protecting his village from Kaido, with no trace of his body being left behind.

One Piece chapter 1157's main story continues the flashback arc, set around a time when the Rocks Pirates had attacked and looted the International Philanthropy Federation. While the crew was certainly powerful, they constantly betrayed each other, with Shiki even trying to bomb Whitebeard, Silver Axe, and Kaido as the crew was making their getaway.

Nevertheless, they survived and Whitebeard sank the entire island using the powers of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Just as the Rocks Pirates were going to start fighting each other, the Navy appeared to capture them, leading Whitebeard to suspect there was a traitor in their midst. Xebec instructed his subordinates to go on the offensive and plunder and destroy everything.

A statistic then revealed that during the Era of Rocks, his crew had committed 16 raids, sank 76 ships, destroyed 14 ports, wiped out 5 towns and ruined one nation. They had three violations of Article 18 of international law, as well as 25 criminal records within just two years of being formed.

One Piece chapter 1157 then shifted to Enishi in the New World, where Harald was trying to stop World Government forces from attacking nations that had helped Elbaph in the past. Despite his membership in the World Government being threatened, the Giant King jumped and attacked the enemy ship. Due to this, articles began being released that declared him a traitor.

In Ida’s Tavern, Xebec continued his effort to recruit Harald, but was turned down. The Giant explained that the Marines and other forces of the government saved people on a daily basis, and Elbaph becoming a member nation would result in meaningful change.

Meanwhile, at the Navy Headquarters, Garp, Sengoku, and Otsuru tried to convince Kong of letting Elbaph join the World Government, recognizing the strength of Harald and the Giants. While the Admiral agreed with their points, he was unable to do anything from his position.

42 years before the present timeline, people around the world wept tears when Shakuyaku quit the Kuja Pirates, knowing they couldn’t encounter her at sea any longer. Big Mom wondered if Shakky had left to chase after a man, to which Gloriosa responded by taking a dig at her tendency to “pop out kids like popcorn”.

In the background, Stussy tried getting closer to Whitebeard, though the future Yonko showed little interest in her. In Hachinosu, much to the delightful surprise of the residents, Shakuyaku ended up taking refuge to hide from the Marines. She set up her bar, where there would be up to a month’s wait to get in.

The rulers of the pirate island, the Rocks Pirates, got word of this and entered the bar. However, immediately upon seeing Shakky, every member of the crew was lovestruck. She went on to earn the reputation of being the treasure of Hachinosu.

One Piece chapter 1157 ended in the Holy Land, as Saint Mars offered Harald a deal where the World Government would accept Elbaph if the Giant warriors would kill Rocks D. Xebec.

The God Valley Incident, which led to the downfall of the Rocks Pirates and Rocks D. Xebec’s death, was sparked by their desire to retrieve a certain treasure previously located on Hachinosu and stolen by the Celestial Dragons. Until now, most fans believed that this treasure consisted of the rare Devil Fruits used as prizes for the cruel Human Hunting Competition held by the nobles.

The assumption was that the Celestial Dragons had stolen those Devil Fruits from Hachinosu, resulting in the Rocks Pirates’ decision to retrieve them. The simultaneous arrival of the Roger Pirates, along with the reaction from the Navy and Saint Figarland Garling’s Holy Knights, eventually led to the confrontation known as God Valley Incident.

In fact, when Kong alerted him about Gol D. Roger’s imminent arrival in God Valley, Garp explicitly stated that the Celestial Dragons brought the conflict upon themselves by stealing “Hachinosu’s treasure”, further lending credence to the aforementioned theory.

However, One Piece chapter 1157 unexpectedly reveals that the treasure of Hachinosu wasn’t a Devil Fruit or another rare item, but Shakky’s beauty. With this in mind, as absurd as it seems, it appears that Shakky’s presence was what drove the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates at God Valley, sparking the incident.

In One Piece chapter 1157, Shakky is seen working at her bar on Hachinosu, suggesting that the forthcoming installments will disclose how the Celestial Dragons kidnapped her and brought her to God Valley.

As the second-in-command of the Kuja Pirates, and later their captain, the Pirate Empress of Amazon Lily, Shakuyaku was likely quite powerful. So, her captor must have been a strong World Government member or Marine officer.

It will be intriguing to learn why Shakky was brought to God Valley, as keeping her in their “Holy Land”, the city of Mary Geoise, would have been more logical for the Celestial Dragons.

That said, the revelation that Shakky was the Hachinosu treasure sought by the Rocks Pirates felt odd, not only for its evident irony, but also because the dialogue from Whitebeard, Shiki, Big Mom, and others during the God Valley Incident seemed to refer to an object, not a person. So, there must be more to it.

In any case, in hindsight, it’s amusing that Shakky captivated everyone with her beautiful appearance, including the absolute strongest men of her era, while Boa Hancock, despite her beauty, failed to attract the likes of Momonga and Smoker, let alone Luffy.

As it’s well known, despite her many claimants, Shakuyaku had eyes only for Silvers Rayleigh, the fearsome “Dark King”, and they are a married couple nowadays. So, it will be interesting to see how Shakky avoided her other admirers to unite with Rayleigh, and if the latter did something to help her.

One Piece chapter 1157 also suggests that there's a traitor within the Rocks Pirates, working for the Navy. The installment doesn't reveal the traitor's identity, but the most widespread hypothesis is that Silver Axe is the mole who infiltrated the crew to gather and report information.

Another minor but fun detail featured in One Piece chapter 1157 is the explanation of the name of Shakky’s current bar in Sabaody Archipelago, the “Shakky’s Rip-off Bar.” This name was puzzling until the latest chapter indirectly revealed its reason, suggesting that Shakky literally considers her bar in Sabaody a rip-off, i.e., an inferior imitation of her previous one in Hachinosu.
