*This article contains spoilers up to the latest episode of ONE PIECE (Chapter 1160). Please be careful if you haven't read Jump, such as comics or anime fans.
“ONE PIECE'' is a manga currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (original work by Eiichiro Oda) that depicts the activities of the main character Monkey D. Luffy and his friends who set out to sea to become the Pirate King.
Through exciting adventures on unknown islands and exhilarating battles with powerful enemies, players deepen their bonds with their friends and grow stronger, right in the middle of Jump's three major principles: friendship, effort, and victory. On the other hand, this work depicts the darkness of the world surrounding erased history, discrimination, slavery, etc. with detailed foreshadowing and a magnificent worldview, and even now, 28 years after the series has entered its final chapter, it continues to capture the hearts of readers with its exciting developments.
Currently, the past chapter, which started midway through the story of the Elbaf chapter and shows the activities of the Rocks Pirates, is attracting attention.
Among them, the existence of Davy Jones mentioned by Rox makes the reader nervous.
What kind of person is Davy Jones, who was thought to be a legendary figure? We will tell you the information up to now, along with predictions and considerations such as the connection with Rocks and the blank 100 years.
Who is Davy Jones?
In fact, the name Davy Jones first appeared in the story about 20 years ago. It goes back to when the Straw Hat Pirates participated in a game of “Davy Buckfight”. His name came up as the legendary pirate from which the game's name was derived.

At that time, legends related to Davy Jones were also told, and a few scary stories were introduced, such as “An old pirate who was cursed by the devil and still lives in the depths of the ocean'' and “All the ships and treasures that sank to the bottom of the ocean were stored in his locker when he was the boatswain.''
Furthermore, such a figure of Davy Jones is also drawn in the SBS (Question Corner) of the 38th volume of the comic. Although it is undeniable that Davy Jones is different from his actual appearance because of the parentheses such as “Tekito'', Davy Jones seems to be a good-natured person, contrary to the legend.
After that, he was not mentioned in particular, but in episode 1155, Rox told Lord Im that he was an “worshipper of Davy Jones,'' and his existence once again attracted attention.
By the way, the legend of Davy Jones actually exists, and is said to have been passed down among European sailors as a demon who imprisoned the souls of those who drowned at sea in Davy Jones' locker on the ocean floor.
Did you know that Davy Jones, who is based on this motif, also appears in the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”? In the movie, Davy Jones is the captain of the ghost ship the Flying Dutchman. With an octopus-legged beard and hands like crab claws, he has a different impression from the Davy Jones depicted on SBS.
Davy family descended from Davy Jones
In episode 1159, Rox's real name is revealed to be Davey D. Xebec. Rocks was a descendant of the Davy Jones family. The widely known “Rocks” was actually a hidden name to conceal the name “Davy”.
The reason why he goes to such lengths to hide the name “Davy” is because the Davy family is considered one of the things that the world government “wants to eliminate.”
However, it is said that before the God Valley incident, the Davy family managed to survive by taking advantage of the “world of darkness.” It seems that he lived in God Valley, but it is unknown whether this place has any connection to the “world of darkness” that Rocks refers to.
In the first place, it remains a mystery whether the “world of darkness” is an abstract expression with an “underground” meaning, or whether it actually exists in this world. I'm also curious about the legend of Davy Jones, who is “cursed by the devil and still lives in the depths of the ocean,'' and the ability of Teach's “Yamiyami no Mi'' which somehow reminds me of the “world of darkness.''
Also, Locks' son Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard) is also descended from Davy Jones. His real name may be Davy D. Teach.
By the way, there was a time when Teach was a Shichibukai, and I thought the World Government didn't realize that he was a member of the Davy family, but Devon and Saint Saturn had a meaningful exchange, saying things like, “Teach is special,'' “He has no bloodline,'' and “Oh, did you realize that?''
Besides Teach, are there any members of the Davy family left alive to this day? Who exactly is the person who is “powering the 'world of darkness'”? How much does the world government know about it? The family is still full of mysteries.
