As the One Piece Final Saga intensifies, one ancient name has reemerged—Davy Jones. Mentioned during the explosive events in the Elbaf arc, this legendary pirate’s legacy hints at a deeper mythology behind the world’s most notorious outlaws. What makes his sudden introduction so significant, and why did the fearsome Rocks D. Xebec revere him?
The Elbaf Arc and a Shocking Revelation
Following the Egghead Island storyline, the focus has now shifted to the long-anticipated Elbaf arc. Introduced two decades ago in the Little Garden arc, Elbaf—land of the Giants—has captivated fans with its lore. Now, the Straw Hat Pirates are finally stepping onto its mythical soil.
The arc starts joyously with the Giants welcoming Luffy and his crew. However, the celebration is short-lived as the Holy Knights arrive, aiming to subjugate the mighty Giants by targeting their children. As Luffy and Prince Loki prepare to retaliate, readers are taken into a flashback revealing the past of Elbaf’s greatest king, Harald—and a shocking link to Rocks D. Xebec .
In One Piece Chapter 1155, it’s revealed that Rocks D. Xebec, one of history’s most feared pirates, was a devout worshipper of Davy Jones. But who is Davy Jones?
Davy Jones is a legendary pirate said to have existed in ancient times. Myths claim he was cursed by a demon to live eternally beneath the sea, with no known record of his death. In pirate lore, everything that sinks to the ocean floor belongs to Davy Jones. Over time, he became a near-mythical figure—a god-like entity among pirates.
His legend even inspired the traditional pirate competition, Davy Back Fight, introduced during the Long Ring Long Land arc. The game, in which pirates steal each other’s crew members or symbols, is said to honor Jones’s legacy.
Rocks D. Xebec and Davy Back Fight
Following his massive bounty for killing a Marine Admiral at the Reverie, Rocks D. Xebec used the Davy Back Fight to recruit his infamous crew, which included future legends like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido. This paints Davy Jones not just as a mythical figure—but one who directly shaped the pirate world through Xebec’s ideology.
The sudden mention of Davy Jones during such a pivotal time in the Final Saga is no coincidence. It may foreshadow a larger narrative role or hidden truths about the sea’s curses and ancient powers. His legacy could even be intertwined with the ultimate secrets of the One Piece world.
With the Final Saga promising to unravel the greatest mysteries of One Piece—the Void Century, the Will of D., Joy Boy’s legacy—the mention of Davy Jones might hold the key to unlocking them. Whether he is a forgotten god, a cursed pirate, or a symbol of deeper marine magic, his story is likely far from over.
