God Valley Incident

The God Valley Incident is an event that took place on the island God Valley 38 years ago, in the West Blue.

History
The God Valley Incident took place on a island in the West Blue known as God Valley, 38 years before present time. It consisted of a battle between the Rocks Pirates and a joint effort of at least Gol D. Roger of the Roger Pirates, as well as Monkey D. Garp of the Marines. The battle was considered a major deal in the world of pirates, with other crews having wanted to take part as well.



Because a Native Hunting Competition was happening at the island, the World Nobles and some of their slaves were present at God Valley during this incident. Ginny, a slave, was able to leak the event's existence to the outside world, with the Rocks Pirates picking up her transmission and moving towards the island. They also had interest in retrieving a certain treasure that the Nobles had seemingly stolen from the island of Hachinosu.

Roger learned about Rocks' move and had his crew involve themselves as well to counter them. Vice Admiral Garp, who had been enjoying vacation at the time, was alerted by his superior Kong about Roger's imminent involvement at God Valley and also quickly moved to the same island in order to confront Roger specifically. Eventually, he had to form a temporary alliance with his long-time foe to take down Rocks, who intended to target the World Nobles, even if Garp had no interest in protecting them. The God's Knights, some of which were participants of the native hunt, also stepped up to protect the rest of their fellow Nobles.



While the fight was ongoing, the slaves Emporio Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma took the advantage of the chaos to steal two Devil Fruits that were to serve as prizes for the Native Hunting Competition, the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi and the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. Linlin stole the latter that Ivankov had and gave it to Kaidou, which resulted in Kaidou's life debt to her.

The Rocks Pirates were eventually defeated by the Pirate-Marine alliance, leading to the crew's disbandment.

Aftermath
The results of this particular event would be the ones to brand Garp with massive recognition and the title of "Hero of the Marines". He was granted many opportunities to be promoted to admiral, but he turned them down each time due to not wanting to be the World Nobles' direct subordinate.

Roger's involvement itself, on the other hand, was covered up by the World Government. The same applied to many of Rocks' activities as the captain possessed the Will of D. and planned to oust the World Nobles to become Ruler of the World himself, meaning only very few Marines, mostly veteran ones, know about the details of this incident.

The remaining members of the Rocks Pirates such as Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaidou and Shiki began forming various crews of their own, and due to them not choosing to talk about their experiences in their original crew, the existence of the Rock Pirates faded into obscurity, becoming largely unknown for generations to come.

As for the slaves and civilians who were on the island, around 500 people escaped including Ivankov, Ginny, and Kuma, thanks to latter’s newly acquired Devil Fruit power.

The island of God Valley also ended up mysteriously vanishing, leaving no trace of its existence behind and no longer showing up on maps of the world.

Both Roger and Silvers Rayleigh, along with Scopper Gaban, found a baby Shanks in a treasure chest and took him in.

Trivia

 * Figarland Garling received the title of "champion" of God Valley, but it is unknown if it had any bearing to his role in the incident itself or the competition that preceded it.
