One Piece Chapter 1157 Review/Recap
Have you ever heard the story of the Trojan War? In modern terms, the whole reason it was started was from simping. The Greeks and the Trojans started it because they were simping over Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world. Why bring this up now? Because I think that the whole reason the God Valley Incident ended up taking place was because the Celestial Dragons kidnapped the Pirates Helen of Troy.
Recap
After the Rocks Pirates were officially formed, no one on the seas was safe. Over the course of the next two years, they proceeded to rob anything that crossed their line of sight. Ports and villages were destroyed, dozens of ships sunk, and an entire nation was leveled. They committed crimes so bad that they had to be covered up! And all the while, Rocks was still trying to get Harald to join him.
For his part, Harald had kept trying to get the World Government to let Elbaph join. But because he refused to turn a blind eye to their bullying of unaligned nations, he kept hitting roadblocks. Not even giants joining the Marines helped. Eventually, the Gorosei made him an offer he couldn’t refuse: if he killed Rocks, they would let Elbaph join.
Meanwhile, the pirate world was rocked by scandal. Shakky, captain of the Kuja Pirates, had quit! Her fans were devastated…until she showed up on Hachinosu saying she wanted to hide out there and start her own business. The pirates didn’t hesitate to help her, and by the time the Rocks Pirates had returned, Shakky’s Rip-Off Bar was open for business. Thus, she became the treasure of Hachinosu.
…uh-oh.
Review
I think most of the fandom already thought this, so I’m only saying it: Shakky is the cause of the God Valley Incident.
It makes sense, when you think about it. Like Helen of Troy, Shakky was the most beautiful woman in the world in her youth. The Celestial Dragons would be arrogant and stupid enough to kidnap her. That would lead the Rocks Pirates and every other pirate to storm God Valley in search of Shakky. In a weird way, it’s funny to think that the incident that ends up bringing down Rocks D. Xebec, the man who ran roughshod over the world, happened because of a Pirate Helen of Troy. I guess simping is a constant in every reality.
Then there’s also the Five Elders’ ultimatum. I know that Rocks and Harald’s friendship is a little one-sided on Rocks’ part, but really? Are they really so cowardly that they’re resorting to this? On second thought, of course they would. There’s no level that they’re not willing to sink to. Rocks is right about one thing, though: the World Government doesn’t deserve Elbaph. They never have. This was a nice way to learn the origin of Shakky’s bar, though. I know I would visit, if only for the ambiance.
I Give “The Legendary Bar” a 4/5
