Luffy's FINAL Step to Laugh Tale, Who is the Man Marked by Flames?

[@vrostar]

This is probably my favorite theory on the Man Marked by Flames so far. The ship being charred black by flames makes so much sense. And bringing Deuce into the story is something I've hoped for since the Boichi adaptation of the Ace Novel. It's too perfect!

[@jointjutsukonan3074]

I agree 10000% this goes so hard

[@jimmybeanchugger1832]

It’s stupid as fuck

[@shamefuldisplay9692]

Its gonna be Davy Jones

[@jimmybeanchugger1832]

This stupid ass theory is your favorite ? Smh

[@niello5944]

I think Robin's reaction is just that she noticed Law acting weird. If the theory is right, Law's reaction could be that he knows him as a fellow doctor.

[@Maxo]

the first thing i thought of about the "marked by flames" epithet, when i realized you were talking about deuce is that it could be more metaphorical. like yeah maybe he has a bunch of burns from the dial etc etc, but i think moreover, who he is as a person has been marked by ace. being a novelist, it even sounds like a title he himself created + spread, almost as if to star in his own story. been loving this idea since i heard you mention it

[@MaemiNoYume]

Maxo! you're one of my biggest idols. I love your music so much (i didn't expect to find you here 😅)

[@Maxo]

@@MaemiNoYume omg thanks so much! yeah i'm a big one piece gremlin~ i watch daks and a bunch of other folks

[@m.o.a.t.universal772]

Is there a link to the Ace novel? I'd like to find out how deuce got a dial in the first place. Have they been to Skypeia?

[@Maxo]

@@m.o.a.t.universal772 it's on the viz site i believe! i read it digitally there w a subscription. i'm a little hazy on some of the details of the contents, but there are 2 novels and they're both relatively short iirc

[@jimmybeanchugger1832]

The Japanese translation says FireScar not man marked by flames. Who has a fire scar? Sabo. Who has a black ship? Revolutionary Army. Who has the power of wind and whirlpools? Dragon Using pattern awareness deductive reasoning and logic can somewhat safely conclude that they were speaking about Sabo riding with Dragon sinking ships. Honestly it’s insane how far people will reach when there’s obvious options. Occams Razor fallacy: the answer is always probably the simplest choice.

[@Monkeytheluffy56]

Ngl, duce being the final key for luffy to reach the last island would be poetically too beautiful. And seeing the relevance of both ace and whitebeard in the story for this long even after their death makes me believe they won't stop helping luffy until the end. ❤

[@justad00d76]

I honestly have no idea what the real reveal might be, but after hearing what potential this would have for the story, I really hope this is the route we're heading to

[@RealPigeonz]

Man marked by flames is Giant that helped Robin escape her island.

[@lucusjadryev4942]

I think so not unless the giants know the location of the red poneglyp and ther important

[@Tycho47]

Great video! I was getting tired of people ‘theorizing’ it was dragon. Like that dude has no business sailing around and creating whirlpools 😂. My man was firing a whole revolution

[@DaksSake]

EXACTLY! Dragon has enough going on as it is lmao

[@shadowmonarch93]

Nah ,my man is very busy still looking at the east 🙂

[@WillOfDavy]

My thought to add would be that Whitebeard made the move about changing the poneglyph's location was after his talk and clash with Shanks. Their last interaction being the thing to push Whitebeard to take Blackbeard much more seriously.

[@poisonpotato1]

So it's possible he has 4/4 poneglyphs assuming he took a copy of it while he was with whitebeard? Fishman Island, it's in his character to use the opportunity to steal a rubbing of it. Whole Cake, their recent visit there. Again why go and not try to take it Wano and Zou if he won them after fight with Law

[@Wavero]

​@@poisonpotato1 i don't think so, in a panel blackbbeard was on about finding out how to get one of the poneglyphs (talking about the one whitebeard must have had) and he said it's hard to get as the man marked by flames in the black ship has it

[@marzy.d4623]

If this guy isn't man marked by flames imma be pissed af I can already picture him hiding during luffys battle with bb waiting to deliver the final blow with the last of aces fire in the shell

[@raphaelmapp8407]

😂

[@ReiseLukas]

Also in the Jump Festa event years ago when Oda brought up the Lurking Legend for the first time mentioned that this Lurking Legend will be one of the Strawhats' greatest obstacles yet, and was connected to Whitebeard. Since the story never made it clear who was the Lurking Legend in Wano where the story was during that Jump Festa event, I think Oda was referring to the man marked by Flames, who does fit the description of a Lurking Legend

[@cosmicvoid239]

Waittt what he said that he's also connected to whitebeard I never heard that part before

[@ricklost9155]

Ya but why would Deuce be an obstacle to the SH crew?

Rocks(or the revival of Rocks pirates). BigMom and Kaidou alliance is the greatest threat they faced. We already know that.

[@Obisaurio]

@@ricklost9155 They have zero clues about him and finding him is required

[@ReiseLukas]

@@ricklost9155 I never said it was Deuce, Dak did. All I said was the Man Marked by Flames and the Lurking Legend are the same person

[@leolegendario1]

The theory didn't really convince me, but it would be nice if it were true. I think it's cool that Masked Deuce and Sabo have similar dreams, it would be interesting to see the two talk about writing books. I still think Man Marked By Flames has been around for at least 20 years, because it would be strange for a legend to be created in just 4 years, so I don't think it would make sense to be Deuce.

[@Kenzznz]

Same here, it'd be a good correlation like Oden to Roger and Deuce to Luffy but why wouldnt Marco say anything to Luffy back in Wano about Deuce and the final poneglyph if that were the case. Surely even Marco, the 1st commander of WB would know it right?

[@jimmybeanchugger1832]

@@Kenzznz It’s a stupid theory bro. Almost everything in this channel has been just crazy irrational assumptions. Many of the theories go against things established by the story already. Every video I’ve watched had been very interesting and I’ve been sucked in but then somewhere along usually near the end he reveals it’s a theory based in either contradiction or based on absolute speculation. Just wild assumptions. I just can’t waste my own time like that, I respect my time too much to ever spend it watching videos of theories essentially like 9th grade band kids at the cafeteria talking about one piece. Shit makes zero sense.

[@jimmybeanchugger1832]

The “firescar” using whirlpools to sink ships from a black boat is really just Sabo being seen on Dragons Ship while dragon sinks the ships. Occam’s razor is a fallacy, the answer is usually just the simplest option. That’s just how logic works and statistics proven this each time it’s tested or calculated.

[@hefesan]

It is entirely possible that such a legend was created in a short period of time, this wouldn't be that hard to achieve either because works with morgans

[@clashingwizard1275]

I think man marked by flames is a fairly recent legend... Consider this.. Rojer didn't encounter any one like that... So it's not from his era.. The final Ponegliph was on fish man island so it seems it's certainly 20 years old at max..

[@three-day-trip9617]

When Blackbeard talks abut the "man marked by flames" he is using air quotes with one of his hands like it's just a saying and this person isn't really marked or burned. I still think it is Deuce because of his relation to Ace and Whitebeard but also because he ate half of the mera mera no mi without gaining it's powers. So maybe it's considered more of a curse because he's still carrying on the will of Ace 's flame and is waiting on Luffy. Great vid Dak!!!!✌✌✌

[@RonWillWin]

THREE DAY U ARE SPITTIN!!!! 💯🗣️❤️‍🔥🫡🤯

[@DaksSake]

YOO Lowkey I’m glad you said that because I was wondering if they were air quotes or the number 2 because he said “the other 2 are missing” but like.. Those fingers look EXACTLY like air quotes. It could be another “pen name” (that’s what he called the Deuce epithet)

[@mrcater6]

Could it be Marco?

[@shinycharizard3218]

Probably equally my favorite video next to your mole theory, DUECE IS THE MMBF!!

DEF!

[@faze_venom6908]

I love this theory cuz as you said its a symbol that ace is still helping luffy even after he died

[@whatupitzwinston]

Im so down with this idea, I should probably read that ace novel lol. Love the asce tatttoo idea. I think the man marked by flames is a fishmen former slave that was freeded by Fisher Tiger. But if its Maksed Deuce him giving the polyglyph to Luffy saying he protected it for him as a last give to Luffy by Ace, I would cry. Much love Dak great theory

[@itsxynz0]

The theory you create was a masterpiece. Even if man marked by flames revealed and its not masked deuce this theory still a masterpiece 🔥🔥

[@TheArtCatalogue]

If Deuce would be the man marked by flames, it would be an awesome moment to have a flashback where him and ace 1st met but instead of Deuce's perspective as written on the Ace's Novel, it would be Ace's perspective about the event.

[@newt2120]

Why would we get Ace's perspective? He's dead. It only makes sense if its from Deuce's point of view

[@TheArtCatalogue]

@@newt2120 fair point

[@QuickLuffy]

This could be the reason why he didn't show up during marineford war because maybe whitebeard instructed him what to do as Ace's right hand man. Probably got a mark by Ace to symbolize as his right hand man or part of his crew.

[@BlackStarrTurnsHeel]

Another banger. 🔥🔥🔥 BTW I really liked your Shanks theory in regards to the silhouettes of the Holy Knights.

To add a little bit to this marked by flames could have a figurative meaning aswell, because Deuce is literally "marked" emotionally by Ace, since they were close. Sounds cute and I hope this is the real reveal.

although we have not been introduced to Masked Deuce in the series what if Deuce has been the narrator of the series this entire time

[@StarKnightAndilex]

Great vid! i had no idea there was a manga version of the ace novel. your vid convinced me deuce is the man marked by flames. also porche from the foxy pirates has the same style of mask .🤔 it makes sense how whitebeard wanted the poneglyph moved. also nice mention how ace's will would be helping luffy since deuce also probably carries ace's will.

Absolutely love this theory but i think Oda would use a character that is a bit more relevant in the story like Jaguar D. Saul. After all we saw that he was alive in Egghead and that he (a giant) would appear in the upcoming Elbaf arc. He is 'marked by the flames' of the burning land Ohara (or cold burns are a thing because he was frozen by Aokiji).

[@JohnSmith-oo7gx]

im voting clover as the man marked by flames. He survived and the marks are from the buster call. Obviously he knows about the importance of the road poneglyph, and so keeps it save. reminder that he also was an adventurer

[@FrameRage]

didn't he get shot tho? like he died before the buster call happened, he was executed for almost revealing the name of the ancient kingdom

[@Gastino21]

Idk why you chose prof. Clover over Saul. Since we can see saul silhouette and he is the one who most likely called the giant to collect all the book from ohara.

[@JJK10293]

This is a genius idea and I'm now a subscriber to it. I realized it was Deuce almost immediately after I clicked the video because he has ties to a flame user being Ace, and sails in a black ship. If I were to add anything to this, and this is a crackpot idea so hear me out; Deuce *let* Ace eat the Mera Mera no Mi/Flame Flame Fruit before him. And here's the crazier idea, he *caused* the whirlpools around the island unknowingly. I'll make the speculation that Deuce ate the Uzu Uzu no Mi/Whirl Whirl Fruit (Uzu taken from Uzumaki). This fruit allows the user to turn anything into a "Whirl". So imagine Buffalo's Spin Spin Fruit, but it affects other things instead of just the user. With this in mind, maybe the reason Oda allowed the fight between Zoro and (old) Mr. 7 to happen on Sixis in the recent Live Action, is because when Deuce left Sixis, the whirlpools caused by his Whirl Whirl Fruit dissipated, and the island became safe for travelers once more. I'm now seriously anticipating the Man Marked by Flames' reveal more than I even was before, and rooting for it being Deuce!

I think man marked by flame is dragon because in fishman island arc when luffy and his crew were on the way to the new world they get trapped in a giant whirlpool and then Franky said the line that it is like a dragon .. We know that oda is very specific about the dialogue so may be he was referring to luffy's dad ..

[@Ryy_Ricch]

I'm jacking this theoryyyyyyyyy. I'm convinced masked deuce is the man "marked" by flames lol. Also, I find it kinda funny how Ace named his right hand, similar to how Kaido named Arber King.

[@amirkasem7350]

Oh wow , I didn’t think of it like that . For some reason when you mentioned masked deuce I started to think maybe he got some sort of marking from eating a piece of the mera mera fruit after ace took the first bite . But I can see it being maybe a symbolic name or a sort of scar

[@thusspokethestruggler]

A bit late to the party, but here is something that I just.. couldn't quite get out of my head when you were breaking down your theory. The road poneglyph being at Fishman Island, the fact that it went missing somewhere between the 25 year gap from Rogers age to now, and then the "Man Marked by Flames".. Here is what my brain got to thinking. First off, let's take the "marked by flames" term and really analyze it thoroughly. What can that mean? Well the most common answer is scarring of some kind, specifically by fire. But what if it could mean something else entirely? Celestial Dragons brand their insignias upon the bodies of people with a heated iron brand. This makes them "property" and is a very recognizable symbol. This, by itself, obviously makes one rule out this because "they would say they were a former slave" or "they had the claw of the dragon" on them. But what if this symbol was covered up? Say... by turning it into a tattoo of the sun? A sphere surrounded by flames? This is where my brain gets to turning. Especially with everything going on in Egghead. What if being "marked by flames" is referring to symbiology, not an actual scar? What if Fisher Tiger, a known rebel against the slave trade who was the leader of the Sun Pirates and presumed dead, is the man marked by flames? Obviously it could either be the REAL Fisher, or perhaps a clone of him? I know this is kinda crazy since his death is what set up Jinbe, Arlong, Koala, and the Gorgon Trio's stories into motion. But if Saul can survive via his connections to the Revolutionaries, why can't he? Or, at the very least, be brought back with Vegapunk's science? If I haven't already lost you, bare with me and suspend your disbelief a little longer. The more you consider this avenue, the more it begins to make both thematical sense, but also gives some really interesting plot developments. Tiger, in fact, has close relations to Fishman Island. So what if he had partnered with the Revolutionaries before his death? Perhaps even to allow him more intel and opportunity to strike against Marygeoise? This could explain both his absence and presumed death, alongside how he fits into this story. Now picture this. Boa has been defeated by Blackbeard, Jinbe is with the Straw Hats, and huge things are transpiring on the global stage. A man who is rarely seen, has the ability to generate whirlpools (consider feats of Fishman tactics via Arlong Park), and is "marked by flames"? The potential of this revelation is HUGE. Not only would it be emotional payoffs for his old crew members and friends, but this could even open up the door for the return (and possible psuedo-redemption path) of Arlong. We have seen other previous Warlords return (Crocodile, Moria, Boa, Kuma, etc) as secondary characters and even allies! If Bellamy of all people can get a semi-redemption arc, then why can't Arlong? I'm not suggesting it's a "all is forgiven" type of thing, but rather a chance for Arlong to change his ways and reinvent him for the future. This would just be the icing on the proverbial cake. So, in conclusion, I think this is an interesting possibility. One that, despite it's overreaching in places, would be one hell of a twist. This twist could even pull us back to Fishman Island proper and set up future developments (I.E Luffy bringing about the "Destruction of Fishman Island" and such). This also could be one hell of a lore drop about Nika, since Who's Who was the one to talk about "Slaves praying to the Sun God to deliver them". Perhaps Fisher Tiger was inspired by Nika when choosing his jolly roger? What if this is the missing link between the promise to the Fishman and the destruction of their home? Thanks for reading, but if you didn't? TL;DR: Fisher Tiger could be the "man marked by flames". It's a stretch, but him being a Fishman and working with the revolutionaries in secret could explain his absence, survival, and ability to make whirlpools. Guarding the poneglyph, his crews name, and his jolly roger could be directly inspired by the legend of Joyboy and Nika. This would tie him into the story, potentially gives us insight into the history of Joyboy, and thematically payoff a bunch of characters emotional attachment to him (similar to Sabo returning). Could even make an opening for Arlong to return.

[@surrealdeals8402]

I do love this theory, at first I thought it might be a lunarian seeing as they literally have flames on their back, but we only know of one and I imagine we have met the man before, so then possibly marco, seeing as he’s a phoenix, but then surely marco would have given it to luffy. So masked deuce would make more sense then either

I'm a strong believer that whitebeards ponyglyph is encased inside his tombstone concreted around it so luffy has to finally visit ace's proper grave before gaining the knowledge of where the one piece could be and it sounds like a amazing hiding place 😂

Maybe lily is the mother of kozuki toki. Just like toki said 9 warriors will bring the dawn of wano after 20 years. Her mother must have said joyboy would comeback after 800 years when she was dying

Tokis name before marrying Oden was Amatsuki Toki and she says her family is from Wano. The Nefertari family ruled Alabasta for thousands of years before the Void century. There would be no reason for it and it wouldn't make sense for Lily to be Tokis mom

10:43 Norland is also one of my favorite character so I hope one day, you will do a video about him. Awesome video thanks you. Greetings from Belgium. Whale Done.

[@Bittzen]

Fsst forward to today Chapter 1131, 20:00 we see while Straw Hats are in Elbaf, an edition of the newspaper from Morgan has an X on Luffy's wrist, written by Vivi with Morgan. Once the Straw Hats who know Vivi see this newspaper, they'll likely try to communicate back with Morgan and Vivi, then meeting. That's when Deuce is reintroduced with the Straw Hats. Your theory basically seems confirmed. It all makes sense with Oda's thinking. It also sets the scene to talk about Ace again, give us flashbacks of details we don't know about him, gets us emotional, and then soon after, Luffy will fight Akainu who killed Ace. Remember after Vegapunk's announcement, the navy said they have to get the one piece first before pirates. Oda said previously that Akainu would've gotten the one piece within one year if he was a pirate, so obviously he's already making moves and will meet Luffy soon.

[@jamiewalker6296]

4:00 not sure if this is covered later, but whiteboard did show up to aces execution from under water white his ship coated just like some one does to go to fishman island. I could easier picture him at his age and condition expecting to no make it out alive, sings by the island and grabs the road ponegraph to do what ever he did with it before heading off to the fight. Also what if the man marked by flames is just referring to his black ship?

[@DaksSake]

I basically cover that later on in the video - reasoning why its more likely that he moved the glyph in between FMI and Marineford (and may even be the reason he was waiting to attack Teach).

[@TheClanFollows]

Interesting theory with the flame dial creating the whirlpools. I like to imagine that the ship ate a devil fruit Like the sword in enies lobby, and since boats dont swim they float the curse may not affect it
