All members of Pirates Rocks ranked | One Piece 2024

The execution of Pirate King Gol D. Roger began the Great Pirate Age , where many people ventured out to sea in search of the One Piece. But even before that, some pirate crews made names for themselves and became infamous. One of the most notable pirate crews in history is the Pirates Rocks , and in this article we will talk about all the members of the Pirates Rocks and rank them.

Before we begin our list, we will issue a spoiler alert for readers who are not yet up to date with the manga. Now that that's out of the way, let's first talk about who the Pirates Rocks were.

Who were the Pirates Rocks?

The Rock Pirates were an infamous pirate crew that was active for a time before their defeat and disbandment 38 years before present time. The crew consisted of notorious criminals, most of whom later became prominent pirates. The crew was led by the mysterious and fearsome pirate, Rocks D. Xebec .

Most of the members of the Pirates Rocks have become important figures in the world of One Piece and three of them have even reached Yonko status. They were the largest pirate crew in the world before the Roger Pirates became famous. The defeat of the Pirates Rocks is also legendary, as it was only possible after Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp joined forces.

The Rocks Pirates' final battle took place on God Valley , an island in West Blue, where the Rocks Pirates faced the Garp and Roger Pirates. The details of this battle are still unknown, but in history this latter battle is known as the God Valley Incident .

All known members of the Rocks Pirates ranked

9) Captain John

This member of the Rocks Pirates appeared very briefly in the story. Captain John was first introduced in the Thriller Bark arc as one of the Zombie Generals in Gecko Moria 's army. Before his death, he was the captain of his own team which he formed after the God Valley incident.

Captain John was known for collecting all types of treasures, even the most absurd. Curiously, Buggy searches for the legendary treasures left behind by Captain John.

8) Streusen

Streusen , also known as Chevalier Gourmet , is the executive chef of the Big Mom Pirates . He has known Big Mom for a long time, since she was a child in Elbaph . He witnessed the horrifying incident with Mother Caramel and the children and deemed her too powerful to kill. Since then, he has joined her.

38 years ago, he was a member of the Pirates of Rocks with her. After the crew disbanded, he remained with Big Mom when she formed the Big Mom Pirates. At one point, he ate the Kuku Kuku no Mi , a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

7) Buckingham Stussy

The mystery of Stussy had been going on for some time since she was introduced as an ally of Big Mom in the Whole Cake Island Arc . It was ultimately revealed that the Stussy we were following is a clone of the real Buckingham Stussy , currently known as Miss Buckin .

Buckin is the mother of Edward Weevil , whom she claims is the son of Whitebeard and herself. In her heyday, she was one of the members of the Rock Pirates alongside Whitebeard , and in the current chapter, she seems to be very close to this man. So his statement might not be false after all.

6) Gloriosa

We first meet Gloriosa in the Amazon Lily Arc as Elder Nyon , the village elder of the Kuja tribe . She was once the empress of the Kuja tribe before Shakky . However, it was recently revealed that Gloriosa was once one of the members of the Rock Pirates. It can be assumed that she came to Amazon Lily after the God Valley incident.

Another thing we know about Gloriosa is that during her time as Empress of the Kuja tribe, she fell in love with an unknown man and left Amazon Lily for him. It is still unclear who this man was and what happened to him afterward.

5) Shiki

Unlike other known members of the Rocks Pirates, Shiki was not introduced in the canonical One Piece storyline, but instead served as an antagonist in the One Piece Film: Strong World . However, it made its official entry into the canon through Chapter 0 , a special chapter released alongside Chapter 565. This special chapter was also included in Volume 0 of One Piece.

Shiki, known as "Shiki the Golden Lion" and the "Flying Pirate" , was the admiral and helmsman of his new crew, the Rocks Pirates . He was one of Roger's rivals and a recurring opponent of Sengoku . Shiki was eventually defeated by Luffy , who defeated the man with the help of Billy .

4) Charlotte Linlin

The only female Yonko and the strongest female character in One Piece to date is Charlotte Linlin , better known as Big Mom. She is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, a crew made up entirely of her children. Known for her exceptionally tall stature and equally large appetite, she rules Totto Land and expands her crew by marrying off her children.

Big Mom's Devil Fruit is the Paramecia type Soru Soru no Mi. She serves as an antagonist in the Whole Cake Island Arc and the Wano Country Arc. Big Mom was defeated by Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid during the Onigashima Raid .

3) Kaido

One of the strongest and most prominent members of the Rock Pirates is the man known as the "strongest creature in the world" , Kaido . He is the main antagonist of the Wano Country Arc . Kaido was once one of the four Yonko whose base of operations was Wano Country . After several intense fights, he was finally defeated by Luffy.

Kaido ate the Mythical Zoan fruit, Uo Uo no Mi; Model: Seiryu . After his time with the Rocks Pirates, he later formed the Beasts Pirates of which he is the General Governor. He was deliberately captured numerous times by the Marines, and while escaping once, he met Alber and formed his own pirate crew with Alber as his right-hand man.

2) Edward Newgate

After the God Valley incident, the pirate who quickly rose to prominence and became a competitor to Roger was Edward Newgate , later famous as Whitebeard. At some unknown time after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, Whitebeard formed his own Whitebeard Pirates and set sail.

Unlike Rocks who was cruel and Roger who wanted to conquer the seas, Whitebeard's true goal was to have a real family. It is said that he was involved with his teammate, Buckingham Stussy, but the real family Whitebeard found was in his new crew who he considered his own children.

During his lifetime, Whitebeard was one of the four Yonkos and was known as the "strongest man in the world" . His Devil Fruit, Gura Gura no Mi , was the strongest Paramecia fruit. Whitebeard died at the hands of Blackbeard during the Marineford War .

1) Rocks D. Xebec

The captain of the Rocks Pirates is the infamous pirate Rocks D. Xebec , more commonly known as Rocks. 44 years before the present time in history, he encountered a group of criminals on Hachinosu and formed the Rocks Pirates. He was Roger's biggest competitor in his time, even more than his crew member Whitebeard would later become.

The true extent of Rocks' powers is not yet revealed. But considering he was the captain of a crew made up of some of the strongest pirates ever, it's safe to bet he was even stronger than them. Additionally, it took the joint effort of Roger and Garp to defeat him, a testament to the power he possessed.

Other members

The characters mentioned above are the known members of the Rocks Pirates. There were more crew members, but either only their names were mentioned without them appearing in the story, or they were shown with the crew but their names are unknown.

Some of these other members of the Rocks Pirates include Ochoku , who was the previous ruler of Hachinosu and lost to the joint effort of Koby and Blackbeard during the Rocky Port Incident , and an infamous pirate named Silver Axe .

There are other members who are shown in the background with the crew in chapter 1096. One of them had a sword, one wore a dark colored hat, one wore a clawed gauntlet and one had the enormous head of a fish and thick lips.

If we're being technical, then we can also consider Napoleon and Prometheus as members of the Rocks Pirates, as both had consciences and helped Big Mom during her battles.

Conclusion

The Rocks Pirates remain a mysterious crew with too many secrets to reveal. However, one thing is clear: they were the deadliest crew in the entire Grand Line before Roger and Garp ended their journey. Garp, recognized as the “Hero of the Marines” for defeating the Rocks Pirates alongside the Roger Pirates during the God Valley Incident, is a testament to the crew's infamous reputation.
