[@MisaelMatute76]

What do u mean by "championing"?

[@squidrecluse2336]

I have a crazy theory about that. What if what makes Blackbeard a failed clone (other than his hippo like rotundness) is the fact that he is unable to dream, both figuratively and literally? He doesn't have any dreams of his own, simply going through the same motions as Rocks of gathering powerful pirates to conquer the world because... well, that's what Rocks did. That might also explain why he can use multiple devil fruits. During Enies Lobby Jabra says that a body can't contain more than one devil (which is presented more as superstition than fact), but Vega Punk explains that a devil fruit was the result of someone's dream. Maybe it's the fact that a person cannot contain more than one devil fruit dream as well as their own dream, which is why Blackbeard can have multiple since he has no dreams to begin with. This would also make him a greater mirror to Luffy. The man who dreams of being King of the Pirates, gathers a crew of dreamers, and has the power of the god Nika who was the champion and embodiment of the dreams of the people, verses the man incapable of having any dreams of his own. I dunno, just a thought.

[@sephikong8323]

Personally, especially after 1073, I would most probably side on the "Weevil was Whitebeard and Stussy's son that died young and Stussy had him clone to cope" side rather than him being simply a Whitebeard clone. That would fit with everything : the fact he is 35 years old if I recall, so younger than the disbanding of the Rocks, the weird scars he has as if there were some stitching but also how Adamant Buckin is that he is Newgate's real son and how he was so close to his crewmembers and called them family, just imagine how hard the scene of him picking up Ace's beads would hit if he lost his biological son and coped by treating his crew members as his sons instead ..... and he now has to relive all of this again

I have a theory about kaido clone. Could it be that Yamato is really a “failed” clone of kaido

[@childofaether8733]

Or he could just be their actual son period

[@jimmysammon5429]

Ok this is a really heartwarming theory but it’s disproven easily unfortunately. Marco straight up says that Whitebeard had no biological family, and Marco would realistically know if Whitebeard had a son at some point. Even if it was too hard to share, at some point Marco would’ve found out about this. I think this proves that Weevil is a clone or something, not a clone of Whitebeards biological son. Amazing theory tho whitebeard is the best😢

[@tatttan28]

All Stussy said was "the ONLY son with the blood of whitebeard" That could be interpreted using the fact that shirohige called his crew his family so as GLR stated, he might not be a biological son but a clone

[@PlagueOfGripes]

I forsee a point in the story where Bonney uses an alternate future form to effectively turn into Big Mom and impersonate her. I suppose she could even do the same thing to other characters to "reveal" their identities as clones. I just hope the story doesn't get too clone happy and allows characters to be themselves.

I wouldn't worry too much. Even with the clones we have now, including the seraphim, they all act marginally different from their real counterparts. With how most characters in the OP world act I doubt they'd really even care if they're clones.

[@asdfadf1904]

I'm going to guess Kuma's real daughter died in some tragic accident (the real bonney), but before her death, Kuma was somehow able to push the memories out of her and into a clone body of big mom (whose DNA was all vegapunk had for a girl besides stussy). some circumstance like this may be why kuma didn't want her to know the truth at any cost.

I think that's unlikely as the Rocks pirates were a meritocracy, with a hierarchy based on strength and though I doubt Xebec fought every crewmember to asses their strength I think he would have had to be strong enough to defeat each ne of them.

[@sephikong8323]

@@adequatejojo Technically it didn't say "taking down Rocks" but "taking down the Rocks Pirates" if I remember Sengoku's speech correctly, so it's still possible And considering that I personally buy that Buggy is Rocks' son, I think there is an actual possibility the Cross Guild is the Rocks pirates v2 (it never even crossed my mind prior, I still think he most likely was a powerhouse but that would be a funny twist)

[@christiancorralejo8726]

To add to the clone theory, it could be that Stussy is the only clone we know of that is a exact genetic copy of the original and the others like weevil and possibly Bonney could have other DNA mixed in. For example, Bakkins may have insisted that some of her DNA got mixed in with White Beards making weevil their artificial love child and validating her of also being Weevil’s mother. It also explained how Yamato could be a clone of Kaido and look nothing like him (and explain a lack of a mother). Additional it could explain the theory of Black Beard being multiple people.

MADS, in the place where they played God, were exhibiting their results to the Celestial Dragons, and the Rocks crew decided to crash the party and steal the subservient, but equally powerful, versions of themselves for themselves. And this was a big enough threat that Roger and the WG had to work together to stop it, and for the Im to nuke it to cover up that the experiments had ever happened.

Agreed. Because let’s be real anyone without a confirmed parentage could be a clone and we’ll does it matter at this point if they are or aren’t. I mean assume that Weevil and Bonney are clones does that take away from who they are because Bonney is not Big Mom and Weevil is not White Beard. The other logical clone candidate would be Yamato (we don’t know the mother and we know Kaido was experimented on and had sympathy for others being experimented on as evidenced by him freeing King) but Yamato is nothing like Kaido. So it might not effect the story too much since the clones are their own person (minus the seraphim)

Another possibility for Bonnie's origin IMO is that her parents ARE Connie and Kuma, but Connie is the failed Big Mom clone, and Kuma was her protector and they eventually fell for each other like Rebecca's parents did. Maybe the defect in the attempt to clone Big Mom was faster aging and/or simply being far weaker, which resulted in Kuma tracking down Bonnie's Devil Fruit in an attempt to cure her like Corazon did with Law, but somehow Bonnie ended up eating the fruit instead somehow. And given how much the World Government and Marines care about bloodlines and their potential, (which is a nice parallel to how little most of the good characters in the series care about it) it makes sense that someone who is technically the daughter of a Warlord and Emperor would absolutely be considered highly dangerous by them.

IKR!! If this would really eventually be canon, the One Piece Community would def be in chaos.....

[@ChrispyCulture]

I couldn't help but think this exactly. Shame because until now I liked other theories about Garp, Dragon, and Luffy's relations.

[@xaviersanto]

So... Blackbeard is Rocks clone? At the moment it does seem really possible

[@yoav999]

Probably

[@00monkeydude001]

shoutout to tekking for calling out ms buckingham in the flashback on chapter release.

[@aoinguin]

This opens up a possibility that Tashigi is a clone of Kuina.

[@saulbestman6993]

To be honest with the reveal of Kuma's ability, he might be a clone of Kaido. Like Vegapunk created a failed clone of Kaido, and to escape his identity as a revolutionary, Kuma repelled his conscious and devil fruit into Kaido body. After that, he adopted the clone of Big mom. It sounds stupid but with all these reveals, I think it's a fun theory.

[@memesthemerciful1830]

he cant be a clone of kaido, kuma literally helped create the clones, so the timeline doesnt match up whatsoever

Woooow. That makes a lot of sense . Way too much. Particularly seeing the kind of guy VP is in the cover stories. Love it.

[@Derekloffin]

One thing I would note here, they may never have been intended as exact clones. It is a reasonably common concept in Japanese lit to use the term clone for things that aren't actually full clones. Probably the most notable example I can think of is Cammy from Street Fighter II who is supposed to be Bison's clone, but obvious is not a full clone, but only a partial one. So this could easily explain why all these clones look a different from their original versions, they were never intended to be perfect clones, but rather tweaked ones.

[@Jay_SGE]

Wait? Yamato could actually be a clone of Kaido and it’d make so much sense.

[@luftwaffles-16]

Huh?

[@parttime9895]

To be fair, every single time someone shows the silhouette of Rocks, first thing that comes to my mind is Dragon. I don't know why I haven't heard this from anyone else as well. They are visually very similar, they are bouth D and If we are sticking to theory of clones being able to be good, then this would make a lot of sense. As stated by Vegapunk, when he visited Ohara, he mentioned that Dragon is everything but violent, which would comfirm this theory and would explain, how exactly he knows Kuma as well. On top of that, we don't really have any information about Dragon from Garp either, meaning, wether he is his "biological" son or not, he acts like he has nothing to do with him or as if he is a stranger. It's just my thoughts, but does anyone not see the visual similarities between Dragon and Rocks? On top of that, it has been said that Dragon is very powerful. One funny thing is that although Garp and Luffy looks a like, Dragon just does not resemble any of em.

[@jjlove2725]

only thing is based off of logic this theory literally makes no sense. u dont proceed to hype the father of the main protagonist 20 years in only to reveal he isnt the father and is just a clone.that makes no sense and gives no meaning to the story.what i can see happening is that dragon together with vegapunk trying to clone the rocks crew to help fight the government for a good cause and not the evil one from the original crew which just wanted to take them out to continue their evil rule!

[@parttime9895]

@@jjlove2725 There has been a lot of theories based only off of logic and being proven to be true. I believe this could be possible, simply because, at this point, everything is possible. Although Dragon is Luffy's father, doesn't mean that this is impossible. He is still shrouded in too many mysteries and too much is still unknown. What I find interesting tho, is thay in moment of revealing a lot of mysteries, Dragon was seemingly brought back into the spotlight when Vega punk told us very important information for the story. As I mentioned before, Dragon shares more similarities with Rocks than with his family, and In video stated, there has been so many found families in this story, almost it seems more than actual biological families.

[@Edelweiss1102]

Garp and Luffy being so similar is actually one of the things that make me question this theory. They are clearly blood relatives, so Luffy being the son of Rocks clone makes no sense, unless the biological link between them is Luffys unknown mother. We also would have to make sense of the timeline somehow. Dragon was present when Roger got executed, so he would have to have been created somwhere between God Valley, asuming that's where Vegapunk got the Rocks DNA, and Rogers execution. Finally, at least from what it seems, Dragon is acting on his own and out of free will entierly, and knows a lot of stuff about the Goa kingdom for example. Even Stussy as a succesful clone is loyal to Vegapunk and acts to his comand, then again Bonney, asuming she is a clone of either Big Mom or a Kuma relative, could dismiss that entierly. I will however also say that it's definitely not impossible. We know now that Vegapunk can make succesful clones. Garp has taken in Coby, Helmepo and Rogers son, he might as well have taken in a Rocks clone. Anything is possible in OP.

[@jjlove2725]

@@parttime9895 and then what would be he purpose of luffy and where he comes from if this theory was to be true? And what all of a sudden we expect the whole damn one piece world to be clones??? Didnt the manga literally state that stussy is the first.succesful.clone??

The eye color was what was bothering me about Bonney being BM, thank you for info about Oda drawing her w color, I hadn't noticed that. And Idek what the rules for clones are? I get they're not identical, but is it possible for them to have diff eye colors? Unfortunately we don't have a lot of human clones to go on in our world 😢 And great point about their child sized appearances. Another solid point

There has been a lot of talk about how Monkey D. Dragon doesn't resemble Garp and Luffy. So what if he was a clone of Rocks D. Zebec?

[@KillerKeeton]

I love the theory that Bonney is Big Moms clone. It can make sense, and I’d love the backstory of Kuma connecting with a young Big Mom clone who didn’t have parents and wanting to raise her to be a better person.

The eventual flashback of the Rocks pirates going to be interesting

I absolutely love your Content Liam! Thank you my friend. Will we ever get to see "Thr Further Adventures of Dogflamingo

[@Anshelm77]

Even if Weevil was a clone of Whitebeard, it still wouldn't make him his son genetically speaking, but his identical twin brother. Of course this would make him even MORE related to him than claimed, sharing 100% of his genes rather than 50% (though looks wise I'd say 49% tops, so definitely the "failed" kind of clone).

[@hcnuup]

Are we not considering Dragon to be Rocks' clone? He has the age and the looks.

[@jayrodr897]

Dragon is confirmed to be 55, so that doesn't work with the MADS timeline

[@thelazyguyamvs5005]

[@Mhopson968]

I wonder if we'll get a "clone does not bear the sins of the father" theme with all this potential clone exploration. Does a clone of the worst criminal bear any guilt inherently?

[@Arrusoh]

When you bring clones into it then the theories could just go insane. I am starting to think the reason why we never saw Luffy's mum is because he doesn't have one, what if Luffy is a clone. I am thinking either a clone of Dragon himself. Or purhaps Luffy was a more successful clone of Rocks. Oh course this could all be wrong, but this shows how crazy the potential could be Edit 1: And then there is another thought. What if at Laugh Tale the DNA of Joy Boy was there and the Roger Pirates brought it to Vegapunk. What if Luffy isn't just the next Joy Boy, but is literally a clone of the previous Joy Boy Edit 2: And another thought. That scene with Imu where they tore up Luffy's poster. what if it was more than just Luffy having Joy Boys fruit. What if it was becasue Luffy not only had Joy Boy's fruit, but looked just like him This could all be wrong, but if this happens then god damn

[@Anubhav_Maxz]

Rather than being a clone of Joy Boy, it makes more sense for to him be the clone of Roger. I found that the straw-hat-wearing Roger who met Rayleigh for the first time resembled the current Luffy a bit.

[@prins2373]

Yamato could possibly be a clone as well. Especially how Oda never mentioned her mother and Kaido's treatment to her as a son rather than accepting her being a girl. She could possibly be a "failed" clone. Having the same blood, but different figures. (Just like Weevil)

[@PhoenixS91]

I don't think Kaido treated her as a son, she wanted to be called that, not because she identifies as male but that she indentifies as and with Oden and wants to be like him to the point she want's to be him and because Oden is male, she calls herself that in order to be that much more like him. Kaido just went along with it.

[@ahoythere4]

He referred to Yamato as his son because she identified as Oden. So, you know, props to him for using peoples' preferred pronouns.

I think the point about vegapunk trying to create world peace is especially interesting when you consider that Vegapunk was based on Einstein, who thought that the technology he discovered that led to the nuke would also create world peace

[@derekbrown6161]

Like I said in an early vid about clones. Paraphrasing Archer "If I(blackbeard) was a clone of Rocks GD Xebec, wouldn't I look like Rock's GD Xebec!" Too many people would recognize Teach as connected to Rocks if he was a clone imo.

[@KaijuSloth]

At this point i wouldn't be surprised, if it was revealed that Shanks is a (possibly failed) clone of Rocks D. Xebec

[@dametime1903]

I theorize that Shanks is a Clone of Rocks D. Xebec. Also that Rocks has red hair that’s why Oda hides his face all the time.

[@mattb6616]

interesting detail is that kurozumi higurashi isnt actually confirmed to be a kurozumi. orochi asks her if she's part of his family and her answer is "that doesn't matter... ive been out of the country for a long time..."

[@astonapplin2564]

One piece has such a strong theme of willpower, Rox being able to command the Rox Pirates seems like a display of some of the strongest willpower shown in the series so far (similar to Luffy leading Zoro and Roger leading Reighley). What if you’re right and Blackbeard is a member of the domesticated Rox clones, but then Zebec’s will is so powerful that even his domesticated clone carries on his ambitions

[@REALwoombath]

I think you (or whoever thought of it) actually hit the nail on the head with this one.
