Davy Family

This clan claims descent from Davy D. Jones, the legendary buccaneer remembered for inspiring the Davy Back Fight. Their bloodline has existed since at least the Void Century, and across eight hundred years the World Government treated them as a threat worth eradicating. Every known member appears to bear the Will of D., a trait that made the family especially dangerous in the eyes of the World Nobles. Persecution drove most of them into hiding, scraping by through the Underworld and eventually taking refuge on God Valley, a nation in the West Blue that held no ties to the World Government.

Because of who they descend from, the family carried a political weight far beyond their numbers. Thirty-eight years ago they were flagged as prime quarry for the Native Hunting Competition staged on God Valley, listed right alongside Bartholomew Kuma, the last of the buccaneers. Their gathering on the island was discovered by the Knight of God Figarland Garling, who then proposed God Valley as the venue for the hunt. That decision drew in the Rocks Pirates and set the stage for the catastrophe later remembered as the God Valley Incident.

The pirate Davy D. Xebec, far better known as Rocks D. Xebec, admired his ancestor and kept his true surname hidden to avoid the suffering his kin endured. He had sent his wife and infant son to live under the family's protection on God Valley. During the incident, members of the clan were somehow turned into demons and used against him, forcing Rocks to cut them down to shield his family before he too was transformed and ultimately slain by Garling. His son, Marshall D. Teach, stands as the lone known survivor of that day, his heritage understood by only a handful of figures including the Five Elders and his own Ten Titanic Captains.
