Its just a sideways smiley face, joyboy is probably a dingy goofball like luffy and drew his own jolly roger but never changed it. All his crewmates were the "D" pirates and their descendants are "D" clan members. The traitor in the D clan must have been someone who betrayed joyboy and that is the ancestor of the blackbeards and rocks. Im guessing that is imu who betrayed joyboy, he wanted to take control of the whole world and succeeded. He is the secret king of the government, rocks wanted to rule the world just like imu, and it seems blackbeard wants to do the same. So im guessing imu is the great ancestor of rocks and blackbeard

I think another big hint is in the sbs of chapter 516, the reader asks if kuma is holding volume 12, or 13 of the manga. Oda his answer is that it might be 33 and he is reading the story of the davy back fight and laughing to himself. Or 25 in which he debuted. He finishes with saying he doesn't know lets all take a guess.

[@chic7489]

Davy Jones could be Joy Boy real name, before he was able to transforms into Nika. We know that Joy Boy is not Nika from Vegapunk, thefore, he probbaly had consumed the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, or got those powers in an unknown way, aditionally, Nika form is only mentioned as Joy Boy whenever Luffy enters gear 5. So i think it is safe to assume that Joy Boy had a non-Nika form. Also, the Davy Fight Back can be seen as stealing someone's crew, but it can also be seen as freeying someone from somenone's crew.

[@zoid-_-]

Honestly I think the D stand for Dawn. I know this has been tossed around multiple times but thinking about it more and more makes so much sense. First off, a new dawn is what Joyboy/Luffy is suppose to achieve at the end of the story almost freeing the world of its shackles by the WG we can all agree on that. But I think theres more too it. I think Joyboys pirate crew were named something like "The Dawn Pirates". Why? Well we know that Joyboy and Nika are two different people now. Nika freed people using his sun powers and lit up the sky like it was a new sun dawn. What if Joyboy knew about this and used his powers to do the same thing in the other 20 kingdoms where people were oppressed. This would mean the Void Century wasn't a perfect utopia but it makes so much sense why the WG would want to hide it because it started a revolution that showed the 20 kingdoms (now the WG) there true colours. So what Joyboys crew would do is basically what Luffy crew does which is freeing the oppressed. Almost making a new dawn for them like Nika. This would explain why people call it the Will Of D aka the Will of The Dawn Pirates which was to free the oppressed. Joyboy made all of his crewmates put the D intial in there name just like how the Strawhats and Vivi did in Alabasta to show who was on what side, like hiding in plain site to make the will live on so that 800 years from then the new Joyboy (aka Luffy) will know what to do, how to do it and who to help him along in that journey. I'm sure I'm probably missing something but I think this is a solid theory.

[@ithinkiamoscar]

[@jackkelley5975]

D is for Dawn, those that are destined to bring a new dawn to the world. Since Luffy has the sun god fruit that makes a lot more sense.

I thought you were going to say since it’s Davy “Back” that Joy Boy went around challenging other groups for members, and all the fights were held on Davy’s back, if it does end up being an Island Whale . The only problem I could see with this is that if Joy Boy is the first pirate (I assume this means that he was the first one to ever fly a Jolly Roger and not literally the first ever criminal to own a boat) then the other “pirates” would have no obligation to honor the rules of a Davy Back Fight, or even accept one in the first place, since none of them would be bound by a Pirate’s Code (Guidelines)

[@BrettTheSweat]

That boy dak always cookin

[@archdiangelo7930]

Here's a crazy theory about the identity of D.: It's Joyboy's ship. We know from the Going Merry that ships can be alive and have wills, and of course it would be appropriate for Joyboy to also have a ship with a klabautermann. Not only that, but calling something "the will of a ship" could also be a way of saying "the will of a crew", since the two things are often synonymous, a crew is nothing without its ship, and a ship is nothing without its crew. Thus, the Will of D. could be the collective will of Joyboy's crew, carried on through those who sailed on his ship and their descendants. Those who carry the D. belong on the D., the ship and crew of Joyboy, and that revelation could cause everyone with the D., except the potential traitor, to all come together in a way nobody would have ever expected such different people to otherwise. Hell, maybe the ship is still out there somewhere, and it will literally bring everyone together under the same sail, though that's a stretch on my part.

Related to this I think the following: I don’t think the D has sth to do with blood related to begin with but it simply was the sign that u are part of the crew/ kingdom. I mean bloodrelated almost means nothing in one piece…it’s always about that “true family“ is the real family Lily originally infiltrated the D clan. She had a change of heart because she realized that joyboy is a good person and probably fell in love (romance Dawn…could be a nice Easter egg. Everything started because of a love story). She became a double agent because of it and imu till the end was not sure if she did a mistake or betrayed him. When he found out about the the letter signed as D he finally knew (as u said). I could think of a story where the traitor is revealed as lilys family and everybody thinks Vivi is a traitor except luffy. As some said I think D stand for Dawn or for a smile. I think we’ll only find out everything on laughtale (which is on or to be specific under Long Ring Long Land Island (thats my headcanon and nobody can convince me otherwise)

well, it makes sense but it doesn't add up. The issue is that some characters are destined to do something great but don't have the D.

I wrote this unhinged thing a little while back but I have a some experience with portugease and japanese culture and language and the portugease are the nation who ended japan's isolationism, the portgas, portugal, wano, japan, period of isolation, and protugal ending the isolation, are the hinge points of all this So this is not particularly related to this video at all however I think I might have stumbled upon the meaning of the will of D. So we start in Brazil- stay with me here. A land of heavy influence from Portugal that speaks Portuguese. Portugal was the country who Japan first traded with when they ended their centuries long isolation with. Portugal, is a very similar word to Portgas. Brazil is most known nowadays for the sport of Jiu-Jitsu. In fact Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was created by the followers of a man named Mitsuyo Maeda, who travelled the world with the goal of finding and fighting all of the strongest men in wrestling, easily overpowering people from many countries in a legendary fashion. Maeda was born at the very end of shogunate Japan before the government and landscape became imperial Japan. Maeda was like the last messenger to make it out of honest shogunate Japan and just explore the world. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu any black belt from any country in the world knows the word fodase. It comes from the followers of Maeda and means essentially some conglomeration of all of this A warrior with a nonchalant fuck it attitude A happy warrior who smiles in the face of a "fuck it" situation Someone essentially will go into a match with a larger stronger opponent laughing and being like shit, here we go hahaha lets do it And Brazil is essentially was founded by runaway slaves and pirates mingling with the natives of south and central America and idk the fodase-maeda-japan-portugal-portugease ending japanese isolation. It definitely passes occams razor because all the elements required for it to be true are simply... pirates... people wanting freedom, slaves, a man leaving Japan to explore the world and fight all the strongest people, the portgas being son of roger and having the portugal connection, again the country that ended Japanese Isolationism... phew. Wow. It's just like there's not a piece that doesn't fit. Maeda left and Japan went full Imperial and shogunates were ended, and when Oden left, an oppressive regime steps in, and who stops it, the guy who inherited the will of Portgas, or the Japanese fusion in Brazil, who inherited the will of his dad Roger, WHO NEEDED ODEN TO UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF THE WORLD. Oden is Maeda, Roger is Portugal, Roger and Oden unlock the secrets of the world but ultimately One Piece is inspired by a Japanese view of the world and Oden is our perfect Maeda as far as being a man hellbound to leave Japa-wano and meet all the strongest people, and Maeda's will in real life was inherited by a family who became Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practictioners for the next several generations making the sport known to all across the world and the family who carried on Maeda's teaching always stressed this idea of Fodase and never doubting yourself and being a happy care free warrior who nonchalantly goes- this is probably won't end well but still jumps at the challenge with a smile and happy warrior energy also I should add ask anyone who is a legit Jiu-Jitsu practitioner what their lineage is, and they know what part of the Gracie family their sensei's sensei's sensei comes from, even the way we tie our belts is dependent on which side of the Gracie family your lineage is. And you're not legit if you weren't taught by someone, who was taught by someone, who was taught by a Gracie, the Gracie's inherited the will of Maeda, and anyone who is a legit Jiu Jitsu practitioner has heard the term fodase, unless its just like their first year or something

dude the more i listen the more all the things make sense

[@sarina76667]

That actually makes a lot of sense! If Joy Boy and Imu get close enough in proximity, someone who has the power of the Op Op fruit could switch them back. That would make it extremely important for the world government to secure possession of both the Nika fruit and the Op Op fruit. As long as they know exactly where both fruits are and no one gains their power, they can maintain control indefinitely. That makes Law, Luffy, and Robin extremely dangerous to the world government. Law and Luffy as the current users of those fruits and Robin as the only one with the knowledge to translate the language that can relay that information. It also makes sense that Gol D Roger would laugh at finding out the truth, or at least part of it. All of this chaos because of a Davie Back Fight? A high stakes carnival game? Now my question is how does Brook figure into all of this because a power like his has to be significant. There’s a handful of other fruits that seem to have powers that have bigger roles as well. I’ll be interested to see how they play into this theory.

There were 8 people with an x and we have 8 D families so i expect that we got them all. 5 people with an x from East blue and 3 from the grand line and 5 D families post timeskip and 3 after the timeskip. I think that these 8 families started project Dawn. I think that Joyboy initially flew the flag of the dawn project however this became to risky so the 8 starting families adopted the D monicker. The symbol for other participants in the project became the sun symbol in different variations.

What if D is like a name for the true gods. Would be kinda funny if that Imu and Celestial dragons co-opted themselves as gods but they were the actual devils. Even Imu's arrow power is shaped like the devil's tail in cartoons.

[@TheZerosd]

The D stand's for someone's name if joy boy was the first pirate than maybe his real name was something that starts with D.

I really think Blackbeard is related to Davy jones. And that “Davy Jones’s locker” is what they called the yami yami no mi During the void century. I think Blackbeard got the fruit’s info from his family not the df encyclopedia. I also think since L’s and R’s can be exchanged ‘Rocks’ might really be ‘Locks”

D. could actually mean Destinies but in a broader meaning. Each D. is said persons part in the world. Garp could be Defender, Dragon can be Defiant, Luffy maybe Dreamer or Dawn. What Lili could have been was Deserter, connecting it to Alabasta by puns. Meaning every D has a path that they WILL go down. That is why they have “Checkered Fates”. All their deeds and actions will lead to an end they were just born to do for one final goal such as Joyboy’s plan.

I've been saying this for a while now. That pact they made with Vivi is the same pact JoyBoy made with everyone else, and that is what the D clan is.

[@glasses685]

Interesting theory. Here's my question though...why exactly would Imu even agree to a Davy Back fight in the first place? "Well, I'm planning to obliterate your kingdom, wipe it from history, take over the world, and cause a massive flood killing millions..but before I commit genocide, let's have a Davy Back fight and try to steal each other's crew members".

[@noobatgames3321]

maybe it's how they first met and decided to end it like that.

[@ShinyPants_OG]

I feel like he locked in after 800 years yk😭😭 bro was done being disrespected just started Alt deleting islands💀 maybe he was young and foolish back in the day, after 800 years you'd lose ur prime sooner or later

[@3looy]

I dont understand davy back fights, pirates arent suppose to fight fair no?

[@truthboom]

imagine the win condition to beat Imu is to make Imu smile

[@27Lozc]

After this chapter it’s pretty obvious that the will of D is someone’s haki that was passed down to a certain group of people. Same concept with the swords/special grade weapons.

[@joshuadity]

22:00 joyboy was never taken cuz the elders never had the gomu gomu baldy said its alluded them

[@craignaylor2648]

My boy dake’s sake found a parallel with a hidden meaning that’s parallel to a parallel

[@Shutup_dre]

i have a theory for blackbeard as catarina devon said to saturn that blackbeards bloodline was special what if blackbeards ancestor was one of the 20 kings that was forced to be part of joyboys crew cuz of the davy back fight which aligns with blackbeard wanting hachinosu to be an official kingdom in the wg

[@benjamind.collette6468]

D sire. Desire. I think this is an important theme from someone in ancient kingdom who was close to joyboy in his crew of pirates. I think the D is meant to carry will from the past and it's such an important promise that the will of a dead man lives on 800 years later!!! I think that it might be even possible that was a part of joyboys original name or was his name before he was given the nick name of "JOY BOY" I also think it's suspicious that luffy, gol D roger, momonosuke, and vivi all have the power of the voice of all things. I think D is for desire. The one piece is real, and we all GONNA LAUGH OUR ASSES OFF WHEN WE FINALLY SEE IT WITH OUR OWN EYES.

[@DonNado101]

I’m on board with D meaning Davy. In the drawing Oda made of Davy, he sort of looks like Blackbeard and I think that leads to Blackbeard being a direct descendant of Davy hence why Elders talked about his lineage

[@icemage4893]

Oh D Ah

[@cheesywithers]

i mean... the comparison being proof is a bit shaky, but the theory itself makes a decent amount of sense

[@shayoko6]

I'm still sticking with D being Descendant. people are who Descendants of key figures in the ancient kingdom. the kingdom itself which clover was killed before saying the name. could also start with D. and the traitor is the person/family that betrayed joyboy back then.
