Character from One Piece by Eiichiro Oda
The pirate whose ambition was too vast even for the Pirate King's era — captain of a crew that included three future Yonko, erased from history so thoroughly that even his name is forbidden.
Rocks D. Xebec wanted to be king of the world. Not Pirate King — king of the world. This is the critical distinction between him and Roger. Roger wanted freedom; Rocks wanted dominion. He assembled the most terrifyingly overpowered crew in history: young Whitebeard, young Kaido, young Big Mom, Shiki the Golden Lion — future emperors serving under one captain. That crew tore itself apart through internal conflicts as much as external pressure, because Rocks recruited monsters who didn't play well together. It took Garp and Roger — enemies — teaming up in the God Valley Incident to bring him down. The World Government erased the entire event from history, including Rocks himself. His will of D. makes him part of the same bloodline mystery as Roger and Luffy, but where they carried inherited will as freedom, Rocks carried it as conquest. Blackbeard's ship is named after him. Blackbeard operates from his old base. The implication is clear: Rocks's dream didn't die, it just found a new host.
Almost entirely unknown — his image has been scrubbed from historical records by the World Government. The few descriptions suggest a large, imposing figure with dark wild hair and an aura of absolute authority. His silhouette radiates menace. The deliberate erasure of his appearance is itself a statement: the World Government feared him enough to delete him from existence.
