We finally have our answer as Oda reveals the identity of the character who killed Rocks D. Xebec on the God Valley island.

Who Killed Rocks D. Xebec in One Piece?
The new One Piece chapter opened up with the aftermath of the God Valley incident. Both Roger and Garp were beyond exhausted at this point after giving their everything to knock out Demon Rocks. We get to see Rocks in his normal form after the Domi Reversi effect was undone. As Rocks was beaten to a pulp, he couldn’t move as well. Everyone was in a vulnerable state, and this was when the God’s Knight came into the picture at the worst time.
Figarland Garling, Shepherd Sommers, and Satchels Maffey came to wrap up the unfinished business. Earlier, Rocks effortlessly defeated Garling and his gang on this island. Now, when Rocks was lying down in a helpless state, Garling used this perfect opportunity to unsheathe his sword and pierce it straight into him to put an end to his life. So, yes! The coward Garling is revealed to be the killer of Rocks D. Xebec in the story.
Unfortunately, Roger and Garp were unconscious and couldn’t do anything to save the life of their rival. In his dying moments, Rocks worried about the status of the duo who helped him and even expressed his gratitude to them right before his life stopped. Rest in peace, legend Rocks. You certainly didn’t deserve this tragic fate in the One Piece series.
Shortly after Rocks was killed, Rayleigh and Gaban (the wings of the pirate king) arrived on time to save their captain and Garp. When Roger enquired about Rocks’ status, Rayleigh revealed that he had already been killed.
