One Piece 1164 Spoilers: Davy Jones’ Secret Connection to the ‘Will of D.’ Shocks the Fandom

One Piece Chapter 1164 spoilers have ignited one of the biggest fan reactions in years, as new leaks suggest that Davy Jones—the mythical pirate of the deep—was the original Pirate King. The chapter reportedly reveals that the mysterious “Will of D.” might actually stand for the “Will of Davy,” forever changing how fans view the series’ ancient history.

The leaks surfaced on October 29, 2025, and immediately broke social media, sending Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) into chaos. If confirmed, Eiichiro Oda’s latest twist connects the most enduring mystery of the One Piece world to the legendary figure of Davy Jones, whose cursed existence has long been part of seafaring myth.

Davy Jones’ Curse and the Origin of the ‘Will of D.’

According to early spoilers, Rocks D. Xebec tells Imu that Davy Jones was once the “true king of the world,” predating even Gol D. Roger. The dialogue hints that Davy Jones carried the original “D.” initial, which came to symbolize freedom, rebellion, and destiny. In this version, the “Will of D.” becomes the “Will of Davy”—a direct inheritance of his dream to liberate the seas.

It is said that Davy Jones was cursed by a devil and doomed to live forever at the bottom of the ocean. His descendants, branded with the “D.,” were hunted by the World Government across generations. This could explain why characters like Luffy, Garp, Dragon, and Blackbeard share the initial—and why they are all described as “natural enemies of the gods.”

Fans are now connecting this curse to Imu, the shadow ruler of the World Government. The leaks suggest that Imu personally condemned Davy Jones, forcing him beneath the sea as punishment for defying the gods. Ivankov’s previous claim—that Imu has lived since the Void Century—now appears prophetic. If true, it ties Imu, Joy Boy, and Davy Jones together in a tragic cycle of power and punishment stretching back 800 years.

Fan Reactions Explode Across Reddit and X

Fans were quick to respond to the shocking spoilers. Reddit threads under r/OnePiece filled with thousands of comments within hours. User u/arielsharon2510 wrote, “Even in a flashback that’s not about him, Kuma is still saving the day. Kuma the GOAT!” Meanwhile, u/Open_Heron7035 celebrated the return of old-generation legends: “Whitebeard is unstoppable. Another massive win for the GOAT.”

Others highlighted the power dynamics teased in Chapter 1164. “Kaido got thrown into a mountain and Linlin got punted—this fight is going to be insane,” said u/SquidDrive. Another user, u/Jazuken, noticed subtle worldbuilding hints, adding, “Notice how it doesn’t say Rocks defeated Whitebeard. World’s strongest man title still holds.”

As the spoilers teased a potential showdown between Rocks, Roger, and Garp, fans begged Oda not to “offscreen” the historic clash. “Please show the full fight next chapter,” pleaded u/monkeyDwragon. The hype has reached levels unseen since the Wano or Egghead arcs.

Theory Craze: Is Imu the ‘Devil’ Who Banished Davy Jones?

The most explosive theory from Chapter 1164 is that Imu was the one who cursed Davy Jones. The leaks describe Imu’s transformation into a demonic form, suggesting this “devil” may not just be metaphorical. Over time, the true history could have been distorted, turning Imu into legend and Davy Jones into myth. This interpretation also supports theories that Devil Fruits are remnants of curses from the Void Century, linking back to Davy’s punishment.

If these leaks prove accurate, Chapter 1164 may fundamentally redefine the One Piece universe. It reframes the “Will of D.” as the “Will of Davy,” positioning Monkey D. Luffy not as a random hero but as the living successor of the sea’s first rebel king. The revelation also adds tragic depth to the concept of inherited will—the idea that the dreams of the past never die, only pass down through time.

One Piece Chapter 1164 officially releases this weekend on Viz Media and Manga Plus. As the Final Saga continues, fans are preparing for the moment Oda finally reveals the full truth behind Davy Jones, the Void Century, and the meaning of the ‘D.’
