These are scans of a japanese copy. for those of us who do not read japanese, these are effectively picture books, but they convey most of the story, so here are some of the major plot points i can understand. If you know japanese, please help clear stuff.
My interpretation of pictures (very badly done)
cover page - not sure but it is possible it is start of new cover story starring perona (she wants to find mihawk). this could just be one of drawing request.
page 2 - all are just looking as imu has done “something” (as they all are seeing reversi for the first time)
3 - rocks has partially transformed (one eye is normal, bottom set of fangs have not formed, no wings). this is the first we see someone resisting the reversi. unclear as to why eris (wife) and bb are shown, maybe imu brought up again that rocks has to kill them.
4 - not sure but I have heard, that befor final transformation, imu makes rocks more angry by bringing up that harald was to stupid to win over (src: redon tweet). This fuels the theory that reversi requires anger or a strong negative emotion to happen. and rocks was the only strong one shown yet who could even resist it for some time
5 - rocks falls, big mom, kaida and wb look over him with concern
6 - rocks comes to senses, and some back and forth, and kaido and big mom charge onto him
7 - kaido and rocks clash. kaido is knocked out
8 - BM knocked out. WB has some exchange, and rocks charges towards WB.
9 - WB stops rocks’ attack (rocks is using haki infused sword attack as usual, WB seemingly only used his fruit power and haki to stop, as WB’s naginata is behind him. it is almost confirmed to be haki clash at minimum because of black lightning.). then we see the twin peaks of god valley, and a frame of a navy guy’s eyes falling out
10 - one of the peaks falls down! (this is very likely a side effect of either WB’s fruit, or rocks completely overpowered him). we see some pirates scrambling from the fall. eris and bb are shown again
11 - pirate and navy ships shown. CDs are scrambling and saying something. rayleigh and shakky are shown. there are atleast 2 dialogue boxes by narrator.
12 - dragon is shown almost broken (emotionally) (this is probably because according to him, he even lost the baby shanks)(he does not know that baby got into a chest, he was knocked out back then). ivankov is yelling at kuma (probably to ask him to think of their own safety too). Kuma hears someone from forest (this is eris and bb) (also rocks is approaching them, but these 2 things are not shown yet). we see capt. john injured holding his hand over his abdomen. next is a frame showing ganzui saying something, and (Seemingly) shiki is fleeing with a treasure chest (shiki’s fruit is a levitation fruit, he can effectively float/fly)
13 - rocks reaches eris and bb. eris finds out rocks has been reversed (she has already seen reversal before, and know what is). she is scared, cries, says something, and starts running again. a frame of someone else (probably navy) firing cannon balls at eris/bb and rocks
14 - we are shown 3 frames of a close call of cannon balls hitting eris/bb and simultaneously one of rocks’ swing is towards them. kuma pops up, teleports eris/bb (small note- we see 2 pops instead of one, so it is possible they landed different places. this is very young kuma with first day of his fruit, he does not have much control over it. this also explains a bit that we know that bb grew up as someone with no parents, and if we was tp’d with eris, that would not fit). then sees rocks attack and seemingly pops himself away. we see a big blast along that ledge of land (and my guess is cannons had little to do with it. rocks is terrifyingly powerful right now)
15 - we see imu and some “spoken at distance speech bubbles”. there are 2 speech bubles by garp and roger (distance ones) overlayed at a port scene with some CDs shown. we see rocks attack more pirates
16 - we see big haki thunders. overlayed on twin peaks (now a mono peak i guess)(or you say one peak(ce)(get it? one piece)(i will see myself out)). rocks comes in front of garp and roger, and we see his winged form very clearly now.
17 - here is another leaked bit i have listened. the speech bubles are the “rays coming out of it ones” which are usually used for thoughts. this is very likely rocks’ thoughts and both roger and garp are able to hear it. (roger is holding hands over his years probably because it is his first time) garp is just confused. leaks hint this to be “Voice of All Things” (VoAT) (we know that roger was able to hear VoAT because there was that bit of him hearing the sea kings. we also know that luffy is also kinda able to hear VoAT, but this is first of us for garp(more fuel to nepo piece i guess)). from prior leaks, we know what rocks is saying here - “kill me”!. we see rocks “crying”. garp and roger are shocked. we see next frame as rocks charges towards them for attack. chapter over.
PS: this is my first time doing translation/description, and it is a very hard job ( and i have not even translated any speech bubbles). So i would like to retroactively thank all leakers and translators for their jobs.
my thoughts
As always, oda has cooked very hard.
Kuma is the goat. he was very nearto being my most favorite OP character (touch challenge between garp luff and him) but after god valley, he is now my favorite (even my profile pick is now kuma).
Oda absolutely killed with rocks. I cried IRL seeing rocks cry. this has hinted towards the fact that while reversed, they retain some bit of conscience. maybe it is just because rocks is strong to resist, but seeing him cry, it gave a whole new dimension to our understanding of god valley.
Most of community guessed it already that rocks would be reversed and seeing how much carnage he is causing, garp and roger will decide to take him down. None of us could guess that rocks was essentially asking a mercy killing. rather than being a puppet to imu, he would prefer death. maybe he was also crying because he attacked his own wife and child. it broke him (and me irl).
I never would have guessed it, but rocks is now in my top 5 favorite characters in OP.
