Here’s what happened in God Valley 38 years ago
If you can’t wait to find out what happens next, please consider reading my prediction for how the rest of this flashback will go. It’s really long (44 points), but I think it’ll be an interesting read!
- The Celestial Dragons kill all of the residents of God Valley (with Garling killing the most and becoming the Champion/King of God Valley) and try to hunt down the few remaining slaves (who are still alive thanks to assistance from Ivankov and Ginny).

- The Rocks Pirates arrive on God Valley and Xebec says he’s going to be the ‘King of the World’ and to achieve that he needs to eliminate the self-proclaimed rulers of the world, the Celestial Dragons.

- Garp and some other marines, who were keeping track of the movements of the Rocks Pirates, arrive shortly afterward to protect the residents of God Valley from the pirates.
- Garp sees the residents are already dead and thinks he was too late to stop the Rocks Pirates, but is shocked when he finds out it was actually the Celestial Dragons who killed them.

- Garp decides to leave God Valley and let the Celestial Dragons deal with the Rocks Pirates by themselves, but then spots Kuma’s group and sees it’s not just Celestial Dragons left on the island but their slaves as well.
- Garp decides to fight against the Rocks Pirates to protect the slaves, but the marines are overwhelmed by the pirates’ great power and soon Garp is the only marine left alive.
- Just as Garp is about to lose all hope, the Roger Pirates arrive and Garp reluctantly fights alongside Roger and they kill Xebec.

- With their captain dead the stronger members of the Rocks Pirates celebrate (since they all hated him) and some of them announce they’ll be forming their own pirate crews and aiming to achieve what Xebec couldn’t and become the ‘King of the World’.
- Garp wants to stop them but he’s been weakened so much that the stronger members of the Rocks Pirates easily escape by stealing ships from the Celestial Dragons.
- The weaker members of the Rocks Pirates retreat back to their ship, but Garling boards the ship and kills them all.
- While on her way to leave the island, Big Mom comes across some treasure chests which contain the prizes meant to be given to the winner of the Native Hunting Competition and decides to steal them all but sees the Roger Pirates coming so she just takes one chest and flees.
- Big Mom sees the treasure chest has a Devil Fruit in it and since she already ate one she offers it to Kaido in exchange for joining her crew.
- Kaido eats the Devil Fruit and Big Mom assumes that means he accepted her offer, but he runs away while she’s not looking, making Big Mom angry.
- The Roger Pirates see several marine ships coming to God Valley as backup, so they quickly steal all the treasure they can find then retreat back to their ship and leave God Valley.
- The Roger Pirates start opening the treasure chests they got from God Valley and see one of the treasure chests contain a baby boy who they are unaware is the son of Garling (who he offered as a prize to the winner of the Native Hunting Competition to show how confident he was he’d be the one to win).
- Garp tells the newly arrived marines the Rocks Pirates have already been defeated so all the marines leave to chase after the Roger Pirates, aside from Garp who stays because he wants to check on the slaves.
- With the pirates and marines gone, the Celestial Dragons resume their hunt and rapidly start killing the few remaining slaves.
- Garp is enraged by their actions and unleashes his most powerful punch at the ground, which completely obliterates the entire island and wipes God Valley off the maps.
- Garp carries the only 3 surviving slaves (Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny) to his ship and leaves all the Celestial Dragons to drown.
- The Celestial Dragons, who don’t know why the island was suddenly destroyed, are rescued by Garling (who uses Xebec’s ship) who is rewarded by being promoted to the position of Supreme Commander of the God’s Knights.
- Garp is sickened by the things that happened on God Valley so when Sengoku asks him what happened there Garp only gives him partial details and omits various details including him destroying the island.
- Despite Garp crediting Roger with Xebec’s defeat, the World Government decides to give Garp the credit instead and has the news report that Garp defeated the Rocks Pirates, leading to Garp gaining his nickname of ‘Hero’.
