The One Piece logo dominates the top of the page with the chapter title below it: CHAPTER 1165: ECHO. The cover illustration depicts a peaceful sky filled with fluffy clouds, a vibrant rainbow arching overhead, and small birds fluttering about. In the center, Bepo lies fast asleep on a large, smiling cloud creature named Zeus, using the cloud as a pillow. Bepo clutches a sheathed sword to his chest, his expression content and relaxed. Scattered flowers bloom on nearby bushes. At the bottom, text reads: COVER REQUEST BY MACCHI AND TAKESHI: "BEPO PEACEFULLY SLEEPING USING ZEUS AS A PILLOW". Below that is the signature ODA EIICHIHIRO.

A scarred man with a sword growls, "YOU HEAR THAT TOO, RIGHTI" Another fierce fighter replies, "YEAH." A monstrous, tear-streaked face with sharp teeth roars, "PLEASE...!!!" and the panel is labeled "ROCKS VS ROGER & GARP!!". In a wide shot, the swordsman lunges forward with his blade while the monstrous fighter, now in a transformed dragon-like state, screams desperately, "PLEASE KILL ME...!!!" The swordsman stares intensely at his opponent. Narration notes, "HIS WORDS, THE WAY HE'S ACTING, AND THAT LOOK ON HIS FACE..." as massive impact lines and motion effects fill the panel.
A massive clash erupts with the sound effect "FWOOOSH" as the monstrous fighter and the swordsman collide mid-air in a whirlwind of motion lines and debris. The swordsman swings his blade while shouting, "NONE OF IT ADDS UP!!!" The monstrous fighter's clawed hand reaches out amid swirling clouds and impact bursts. Below, the axe-wielding fighter is struck hard, his face twisted in pain as a giant fist connects with explosive force, sending shockwaves and debris flying.
The battle intensifies with shattering rock and massive explosions. The monstrous fighter is hurled backward through crumbling stone while the swordsman and axe-wielder press their assault. A giant fist smashes forward with the sound effect "ドン" and "ズドドドドド". Screams echo: "GYAAAHHH!!" and "UWAAAHHH!!". The swordsman is sent flying amid flying debris and impact lines. The axe-wielder is struck again as the monstrous fighter's attacks create shockwaves that tear through the battlefield. Smaller panels show stunned reactions and flying figures amid the chaos of breaking stone and dust clouds.
The sky above the island cracks violently apart with massive fissures as panicked voices cry out, "THE SKY...!!! IT'S SPLITTINGI!" and "WE'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE OR WE'RE GONNA DIE!!" Explosions and debris fill the air while the ground fractures. Below, frantic pirates and marines rush toward the coast, shouting "HURRY TO THE COAST!!" and "THE ROCKS PIRATES ARE HISTORY!!" One man yells, "HUHI! WHAT ABOUT ROCKS' SHIPI!" while another retorts, "LET'S STEAL A SHIP AND GET OFF THIS ISLAND!!" A fierce figure snaps back, "DUMBASS, NO ONE'S GOING BACK!!" On the sea, orders ring out: "GET UNDERWAY THE INSTANT RAYLEIGH'S GROUP IS ABOARD. WAIT FOR ME AT SEA!!" Roger demands, "ROGER, WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THEREI!" A voice commands, "I SAID GET EVERY SURVIVOR AND MARINE YOU CAN ABOARD THAT SHIP... AND CAST OFF IMMEDIATELY!!" Vice Admiral Garp is asked, "VICE ADMIRAL GARP!! CAN YOU REPEAT THATI!"

Two bloodied, determined men glare forward; one declares, "I'LL MAKE IT BACK FOR SURE!!!" On the shattered island, a winged figure is flung through the air amid rocks and smoke. A man explains, "WELL, ALL I WANTED WAS TO SAVE SHAKKY, GRAB SOME TREASURE, AND BAIL! I CAME TO THIS ISLAND TO CATCH THE PAIR OF YOU, BUT LOOK HOW THINGS PANNED OUT...!!! ROCKS AND ROGER..." Two figures are hurled aside with "FLING" effects. Close-ups show intense faces as one growls, "CAN'T SAY I'M THRILLED WITH THAT IDEA, BUT... WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM BE!!!" Another proposes, "WANNA CALL A TEMPORARY TRUCEI"

Explosive combat erupts as a massive clawed beast lunges with "TAPTAPTAP!" and "オロロロ" sound effects. A voice shouts, "HEY, ROCKS!!" while a transformed figure is struck repeatedly amid shattering crystals and impact lines marked "ガン!!" and "レオロ". The beast reels from heavy blows. In close-up, the transformed man clutches his head, exclaiming, "THIS FORM... THIS... CURSE!!" as debris flies and motion lines emphasize the violent struggle.

The transformed fighter is hurled backward in a massive blast with "オロロロロ!!" and "ドスッ" effects, shouting "...UNDO IT SOMEHOWI!" A man yells, "CAN'T WE..." while another cries, "WAKE UP!!" Below, Gloriosa calls out, "GLORIOSA!!" A grinning pirate boards a ship saying, "NICE SHIP! YOU DON'T MIND IF I TAG ALONG, RIGHTI♡" Observers note, "IT'S STRANGE... THIS HAKI..." and "...TILL HE'S SURE HE'S ESCAPED!!" Someone urges, "HURRY!! ROGER WON'T STOP FIGHTING..." as the crew reacts with shock and motion lines fill the chaotic scene.

Kaido towers over the battlefield, declaring, "NOW WATCH!! I'M GONNA START A CREW WHERE BRUTALITY IS THE ONLY LAW!!!!" Big Mom (Linlin) retorts angrily, "DON'T BE STUPID!! YOU LOST FAIR AND SQUARE, LINLIN!!" Kaido continues, "CONSIDER THIS A LIFELONG DEBT!! YOU'LL PAY ME BACK ONE DAY, MARK MY WORDS!!" and demands, "YOU LISTENING, KAIDOI!" Linlin screams back, "I'LL CRUSH YOU WHEN THAT TIME COMES!!" while Kaido grins, "ONE DAY, I'LL COME TO COLLECT WHAT YOU OWE..." In the background, a figure in a top hat watches the clash. The confrontation erupts into a massive slash attack; a huge blade swings through debris and smoke with a thunderous impact, sending rocks and figures flying as the two Emperors clash violently.

Whitebeard (Newgate) stands amid the chaos, asking, "WHO'RE YOUI" and "YOU BROKE THE MOUNTAIN, DIDN'TCHAI" A voice replies, "LOOKS LIKE YOUR CREW'S ALSO BREAKING UP!!" Newgate swings his naginata as Polo Graham appears, laughing, "THE NAME'S GRAHAM!!" A sign reads, "CAPTAIN OF THE POLO PIRATES POLO GRAHAM." Graham boasts, "I'M A BIG FAN!!" and offers, "LET'S JOIN FORCES!!" while warning, "BUZZ OFF! DON'T GET IN MY WAY!!" Elsewhere, Dragon faces Newgate as someone shouts, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOINGI!" Dragon responds, "CALM DOWN, DRAGON!!" and another voice asks, "HEY, WHERE'S NEWGATEI" A ship sails in the distance.

Dragon stands firm, declaring, "AND IF ANYONE'S GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT, I'LL EXECUTE THEM!!" and orders, "BRING THOSE SURVIVORS ABOARD, WE'RE SAVING THEM!!" A Marine-like figure protests, "DRAGON!! DO YOU CONDONE THISI!" and "MEI! WHAT ABOUT YOUI!" Dragon tells his allies, "DON'T FOLLOW US! SAIL THE BOAT OUT TO SEA AND WAIT!!" while demanding, "WHERE ARE YOU GOINGI! RAYLEIGH!! GYBAN!!" Someone yells, "BRING IT ON!!" A massive explosion rocks the island as a ship labeled "WEST BLUE" sails away through turbulent waters. Narration notes, "THAT ISLAND..." and "...NEVER EXISTED..."

A bloodied, screaming man rants about top-secret records kept by G-11 and CP6 regarding a special mission on God Valley. Text boxes detail purged information about the island's location, size, population, and the names of Human Hunt participants. The number of casualties remains unknown. Explosions tear through the landscape as a voice says, "I'M WITH YOU THERE." Another asks, "DID YOU KNOW THE GOVERNMENT HAD TIES TO THAT BLACK MONSTERI" A wounded figure growls, "WHO'D PROTECT THE MARINESI!" while another replies, "HELL NO. IF I QUIT..." and suggests, "IF YOU WANNA LEAVE THE NAVY, YOU SHOULD JOIN US." SFX and heavy breathing fill the devastated scene.

In a jagged, snow-dusted mountain range, a lone figure stands atop a rocky peak while a smaller silhouette tumbles through the air. A voice questions, "THE MASSI WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI" Another replies, "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MASS, GARP." The scarred man with wild black hair and a dark coat clenches his fist, breathing heavily. "IT'S 'CAUSE HE'S ALSO USING CONQUEROR'S HAKI TO GUARD HIMSELF. IT'S NOT A SURPRISE WE'D CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT." He continues, "AND I'M USING CONQUEROR'S HAKI COATING TO BOOT, SO THERE'S NO WAY MY ATTACKS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING! ARMAMENT HAKI CAN NORMALLY COUNTER DEVIL FRUIT ABILITIES..." With intense eyes he declares, "EXACTLY! IF WE DON'T OVERCOME THAT, THE DAMAGE WON'T GO THROUGH!!" From below, voices debate the next move: "IF WE DO THAT, WE PROBABLY WON'T SURVIVE THIS...!!" "YEAH!! DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW CRIPPLING THE AFTERMATH WILL BE!!" "SO NEXT TIME WE USE CONQUEROR'S HAKI, WE SHOULD CHANNEL ALL OF OUR MASS INTO ITI!" "WE SIMPLY CAN'T MATCH A MONSTER IN A BATTLE OF ATTRITION." "WE'LL LOSE SOONER OR LATER IF WE KEEP TRADING BLOWS LIKE THIS."

A massive, monstrous face with dripping fangs and wild hair roars, "I CAN FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATION!!" Nearby, the scarred man and another figure exchange words amid the rocky terrain. "AND IF WE DON'T LAND THIS, IT'S ALL OVER." "EITHER WAY, IT'LL TAKE ALL THREE OF US OUT OF COMMISSION." The beast drips saliva, muttering "DRIP" repeatedly. In the distance, a small winged figure appears as someone calls out, "HEY, ROCKS!! I DUNNO IF THERE'S ANY WORDS THAT'LL COMFORT YOU AT THIS POINT!!" "BUT, I DO KNOW ONE THING!!!" "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU!!!" The oni-like creature bellows "VOHHH!!!" while the scarred man unleashes a fiery technique. Narration notes: "*TAI: KAGUTSUCHI IS THE SHINTO GOD OF FIRE". The scarred man shouts, "INFINITUM..." and strikes with "KAGU-TSUCHI'S..." as flames erupt, "THIS IS NO TIME FOR TEARS, YOU DOLTS!!"

Text boxes recount history: "THE DISBANDING OF THE CHAOTIC CREW... LED BY ROCKS D. XEBEC... WOULD LEAVE AN UNDENIABLE ECHO. THE ROCKS PIRATES DESTABILIZED AN ENTIRE ERA... AND THE TREMORS OF THEIR LEGACY... WOULD CONTINUE TO SHAKE THE WORLD!!" A massive explosion erupts with the sound effect "EXPLOSION!!!" and a desperate cry of "ACE!!!" The scarred man is shown mid-strike amid debris and impact lines as the blast consumes the scene. Narration adds: "THE WORLD GOVERNMENT TRIED THEIR BEST TO BURY THIS INCIDENT IN THE SHADOWS. HOWEVER..." The page ends with the "ONE PIECE" logo and "CH.1165 END".
