How about the "Pangaea Castle" where the World Government is located. In science, "Pangea" means that the world was once a whole land. But because of the volcanic activities, it went separately. That's why if you look at the map of the world, South America and Africa and looks like they were pieces of puzzles fitted together if you get them closely (you could do the research your self) - Meaning, Skypiea was once a part of the One Piece, one piece of a great world...

Hello, Japanese guy here. I just want to say that it's actually very easy to sneak double meaning in Japanese, much like how you demonstrated that it's very easy to come up with reasonings to make arbitrary numbers relevant. There's a form of joke called "nazokake", which has somewhat similar format to knock knock joke that goes something like this: person A: "We write a word A," person A: "and cross/combine it with B." person B: "Why?" person A: "They're both " where you basically force a connection between two completely different words/concept together using only puns that applies to both; some clever people can come up with one on the spot for 2 arbitrary words. There's just so little phonetic variety in Japanese language. I'll say though, although majority of the word plays in this video didn't blow my mind (because they really felt forced to me from Japanese perspective), I found the last "soko" pun extremely clever/natural, and something I can see being true. I mean the exact Japanese phrasing is repeated so frequently that I can basically recite it word for word by memory.

In the anime right before they're gonna be shot down by the marines they all hear Going Merry's voice say "Look down", back then we all thought that the ship tried to save them by telling them to look down and jump onboard.

Enies Lobby is the only issue I find with the theory. Like how the missing piece of Jaya got knocked up the Knock Up Stream makes sense but how does Enies Lobby if it is Laugh Tale make it all the way to its location away from Jaya?

[@umamidadump2808]

This^^^

[@kurokuteakaiyuki]

There's probably many ways to move an island (without spoilers in case you're not manga reader, one way is going to be introduced in Onigashima) but I agree that Enies Lobby is tricky. One thing I could think of connecting it to Roger would be Reighley's words, saying that Strawhats need to see the world and make their own decisions. So for example, would you go and destroy or attack Enies Lobby and make an enemy of the WG? Most pirates don't, but Luffy and the gang did so over a friend, not even the greatest treasure of the Grand Line. So there's some connections that could be made.... And it's never been said outright that the waterfalls are bottomless, but the WG may think so, so there's still a chance that the treasure was under their noses all along, making Roger laugh ~ A reach, I know, but just some musings as to how Enies Lobby could work!

[@RyanYoxo]

Knock down stream

[@marocat4749]

I think the closed eye , coulx just a quirk of oda. But the idea the navy forgot and its a secret that the one piece or part of it is there denied. There could be an entrance that has to be found but maybe hd to wait or wanted to wait. What if you need sea kings. And it would be a great wtf moment of oda. I keep it as possible. Also that shandoras. golden bell was part of it. Also that it was indestructable and sunk in enies lobby. Maybe roger laughed because he knew everything but was too early to see the weapons and luffy eh has now connections, franky, robin, ally of shiroushi. Maybe the ancient weapons are part of all that

[@KingMinish]

I don't think laugh tale is at the bottom of Enies Lobby, but the ancient city might be- especially if the ancient city isn't exactly what we think it is We gotta keep in mind there's some prophecy thing that Roger realized he was too early for, so there's obviously some more complex mechanics here about the utility of Raftel or the One Piece. I think the ancient city that was in the other eyehole might actually have been Uranus, and that Uranus might be a spaceship the size of a city. It explains how the moon peoples got to earth, and if Jaya was the original location of the ancient civilization, then perhaps the reason that Uranus left the island was to flee from a world government attack. In which case, the big hole under Enies lobby might be less of a sinkhole, and more of some sort of crater from Uranus crashing back down into the earth. Which, by the way, if Uranus can create that much destruction being dropped from orbit, it might be pretty useful for dropping on Marie Jois down the line. I also think that's related to the D. thing, and also to Vegapunk's discovery of "lineage factors" aka DNA. I think Vegapunk is on Uranus studying the ancient technology, which is why he's so rapidly producing wildly advanced technology while the rest of the world is in the 1800's technologically. I think the lineage factor thing is a hint that the world government is still trying to figure out how to control/use Uranus, and that control of it might be restricted by some lineage factor DNA trait that only a few people in the world have, in combination maybe with some time element. Like some sort of ancient technology password lockout, some restriction maybe that Joyboy and the ancient people made to prevent the world government from taking control of the ancient weapon/city. The other key thing here is that Vegapunk isn't only studying DNA or ancient technology- he's the one that invented artificial devil fruits. Which to me is an obvious tell that the three are all related- which seems to me like a hint that the D. factor thing is too. So what do we know about the devil fruits? Any fruit can become a devil fruit- anywhere in the world, after a DF user dies, their ability goes back out into the aether, and into some random fruit. When it does, the fruits physical appearance, or make-up, changes depending on what DF power it's playing host to. In a way, it's a very clever method of trying to de-centralize power. It's incredibly de-stabilizing. If I'm the world government and the world is normal, I can keep track of all the world's armies and weapons factories. But if any fruit in the world, anywhere, could randomly make some normal pleb into somebody like Law or Luffy or White Beard, I'm going to have a much harder time controlling everything. So if there's any historical intentionality about the devil fruits, I think it's clear that whatever party was involved in that was AGAINST the world government. And so the WG is playing catch up and trying to figure out how to make their own devil fruits, and it's not working super well- but it is based somehow on a person's DNA, as evidenced by Momo having a copy of sorts of Kaido's fruit, and all the zonked out designs of the gifters that basically make them look like mutant freaks. (Btw, in terms of devil fruits working by altering your DNA, it makes a lot of sense that the first artificial ones would all be Zoan fruits, doesn't it? The WG might have no idea what genetic template to use for paramecia or logia abilities- but they could easily grab the genetic information of animals and try to splice it together into the DF delivery mechanism) So all that says to me, that somehow devil fruits are altering your DNA, or your "lineage factor" when you eat them. It also says to me that those fruits are changing into devil fruits because their DNA is being changed somehow- and if that's the case, that implies some sort of power to modify the DNA of living creatures remotely. And all of this is tied into the ancient technology of the ancient people, through Vegapunk's studies. So, what if the D. factor is being given out to people in the world by the same mechanism as the devil fruits? One D. dies, and someone random, somewhere else in the world, inherits that genetic factor for some reason. Maybe it's being selected on some basis, maybe something about some people makes them a more eligible candidate. It is, after all the WILL of D. Who's will is it? Joyboy's? The ancient people?

One of the things that Yuderon-san said recently that struck me was that if Luffy is the sun (日) the Kozuki clan (Momo) are the moon (月), then Luffy AND Momo are necessary to bring about the dawn (明け) and personally the fact that Luffy is fulfilling some sort of prophecy purely on accident because he wants to become the Pirate King is hilarious

Buggy later told them about the map and years later when the Roger pirates finally reached Laugh Tale and found the One Piece thay laughed so hard because they could've reached it way, way sooner.

[@69Luffy88]

Again, I don't think the theory matches the One Piece timeline. The island of Laugh Tale is said to be located by 4 Road Poneglyphes, which were created by the Kozukis. According to this logic, Laugh Tale would never have moved (being moved to enies lobby and sinked to the bottom), because if it were moved from it's original place (Jaya, according to this theory), Roger would have never be able to find it. However, Roger did find Laugh Tale through the 4 Road Poneglyphes, and thus the island of Laugh Tale is still the last island of the grand line (located in the new world obviously), as stated by Oda himself. btw Loestar is the second to last island and the last island that can be reached with a log pose. I also think every theory about the One Piece and the D will be wrong because Oda simply did not give us enough information to work it out, I firmly believe new, mind blowing information will be presented by Oda himself regarding these topics in the next 2 years or so, and only then will we be able to reach a sounding conclusio/theory.

[@jeremysmith7176]

I agree that the Enies Lobby part is a stretch. But it seems quite likely that the Ancient Kingdom had Island moving capabilities, possibly even several. Just look at Wano which seems to be several grandline islands moved right next to each other. We know the ancient kingdom was allies with Zou and Fishman Island which have Zushina and Poseidon respectively.

[@vaggs003]

I agree with you, this theory messes up the fact that Laugh Tale is supposed to be the actual last island. In my opinion it is located under Reverse Mountain in a trench which coincidentally is one of the 2 centers of the world, the other being Mariejois.

[@Overtrigger]

Laugh Tale is the last island since Roger was the first to found it and named it as such.

[@FelipeFerreira-wk5nv]

But it would have been moved before the kozuki made the poneglyphes. Someone would have moved the island (maybe a dragon hum) and them the kozuki made the poneglyphes to say where they put it, since there would be no need for a map if the island had not been moved, everyone on that timeline around the lost century would know where their home place was. I don't know about it being at enies lobby, but that part makes a lot of sense for me. And Roger laughing could just mean that joy boy put the island in a very obvious place. Plus there are a lot of reasons for the strawhats to go back to that region of the grand line, around eneis lobby, marejois and fishman island,, the finale will probably be there, while laugth tale is on the otehr side of the world. Roger says there is one more island and he thinks is after the last island, but he says that before knowing its location Also in my opinion it would be very anti climatic if they found the poneglyphes and just went a little furter in the new world to find laugh tale, there is probably something more there.

[@Holzner1991]

There is no information about if or when it got moved. I guess it is assumed that someone, for whatever reason, moved Laugh Tale and then built the poneglyphs so the island still can be found.

OP was initially intended to last like 5 years so the it's not unrealistic to assume the hints and foundation laying for the "treasure" would be dropped in the early arcs i.e. near Jaya/Skypiea. Most of the current OP we know was planned after the fact. Even if Oda changed his plans , he wouldn't push such major pre planned hints way later into the story. Maybe the theory is not 100% correct about enies lobby. But there's definitely something there. We were exposed to a lot of the clues very early.

That bellamy conspiracy had me going 😂 hilarious, great vid.

[@kawabj]

a lot of this is convincing. but as a Japanese native speaker, I’m most turned down by these numbers to japanese translations. as a disclaimer, I haven’t watched the video from the original Japanese youtuber. But, 1122/05/21 = 一つにここにいる is a stretch. to break it down, 1 = hi makes sense. 2 = ni also makes sense. but 1 = to and 2 = tu/two is definitely a stretch. 5 = koko, and the last 1 = iru, these two are just bogus. while its not uncommon in japan to use numbers to represent a sound, like in phone numbers (eg. 37-0009 = minnna maaruku a phone number for a piano company), the mix of japanese and english pronunciations and the use of completely unnatural use of some numbers puts me off. i think some stuff is surely some foreshadowing but these number/pronunciation theories, made by a non-speaking foreigner, is to me (a japanese person) really cringey, shouldnt be taken seriously and grasping at straws kinda like the left eye coincidences that Liam pointed out. edit: 一つにここにいる doesnt really make sense as a sentence either. it would better translate as “as one, it is here” not “the one is here” edit 2: his next example with inin as a bell sound is also completely false. ive never heard someone in japanese refer to a bell sound as “inin” or “iin” edit 3: I wan’t to apologize by saying this theory was first presented by a Japanese person not Ohara and to call it cringey was a bit over the top. Still I find it farfetched. tl;dr theres so much wrong with the japanese interpretations of dates and 1121/05/21 should not be interpreted that the one piece is in jaya

[@Raeker]

So I don't speak Japanese but I checked the original theory video and used KZbin's automatic captions feature - in Ohara's defense, the KZbinr seems to be the one making these claims, including the one about the bell sound. How unlikely would you estimate this interpretation?

[@MonkBreath]

Wasn't this theory originally created by a Japanese KZbinr who I presume speaks fluent Japanese? Ohara just translated and shared with the English community. I'm not saying you're wrong or not just that being a native speaker doesn't disprove it as it originates from a native speaker I believe. So really it's a bit of he said she said on the translation/number stuff

[@haritsdarwienm5886]

Did you know the original theory creator is a Japanese? Ohara's just translating the theory..

[@mattmugiwara]

Hey! I also thought similarly with my basic non-existant Japanese, but picked up on things like the number one having 3-4 different names/pronunciation?? Are you going to watch the original Japanese theory video? Because if so, I would love to know if you still think it doesn't make sense or that they are reaching for something that isn't there.

[@kawabj]

so I did watch the Japanese KZbinr’s video. And it is true he does present the theory before Ohara and Ohara just translate it for the most part but I still stand by that its quite an unnatural interpretation of the pronunciation of numbers. I did misunderstand the “inin” part as Ohara was pronouncing it a bit differently. 殷々(いんいん) though uncommon, is a way to describe a large thunderous sound. My bad on that. Nevertheless, my point still stands that I often see foreigners interpret Japanese in mildly to completely incorrect way and that blows up into these wild theories, from such a loose Japanese interpretation. I think theres not much to come from this. I still think this pronunciation of numbers is very unnatural and unless there are other examples of Oda using similar unnatural pronunciation of dates/numbers, I think its just another example of bending the evidence to fit a story. Also I don’t mean it in a condescending way at all; I really really really do appreciate the world becoming increasingly more excited and interested in Japanese heritage and culture but it upsets me how sometimes an amateur understanding of the language/culture disseminated and is taken so seriously by those who don’t have any reference or knowledge of the language.

[@ajdoku865]

One thing that's missed is that the kozuki text is only written on one wall. Plus, this text was specifically used to encode cultural info relating to Shandora, until someone like Roger(Oden)/Luffy(Robin) came along. Similar to how Fishman Island had one ponegliff about a location & another relating to its people (Joyboy's promise). The other hieroglyphs on Shandoran architecture, such as the sacrificial alter (a 1000 years old) & the stone memorial (detailing the city layout), were not written in this text. In the anime (both during skypeia & Oden's fb) the wall is shown to look like a ponegliff (black). Whether it is one or not, the design is out of place compared to the rest of the city, which is probably why it catches Robin's attention in passing. That said, its still a great theory.

[@free4fire]

Unless another popular theory is also true, which is that the OnePiece is actually all of the oceans being combined into one (piece), also known as the All Blue and the destruction of the world government/freeing of the world. So Laughtale might simply hold the key to achieving this, which was left there by Joyboy many many years ago and discovered by Roger, the world government/ Imu probably know this and thus decided to guard it by planting themselves right on top of it (or the other way around considering Laughtale might have been moved). And yeah how Roger got to Laughtale isn't clear but it's not unthinkable that there's some hidden way to get down there and at least it's more believable than it being some random island, somewhere out in the sea that for years nobody has accidentally stumbled onto (granted Wano is a thing but hey weather be scary sooo). Plus the pre timeskip Strawhats also literally raided Enise Lobby so it's not unthinkable that the freakig Roger pirates at their peak simply walked past/through the Navy to get down there for a quick look. So the theory is not that unlikely as it might seem if you assume that the OnePiece isn't just a huge pile of gold but something much bigger that the world government can't simply get rid of but only hide from the world.

I can’t stand how good you made your part with bellamy that was freaking outstanding this japanese theory and the soundtrack sheeesh brooo

legit that was awesome.

When you make a theory that good then say “I don’t believe a word I just said” I felt betrayed. Lol

GLR the entire video: okay I like this theory, nope this seems forced, now I like it again, this doesn't seem probable, okay it seems to make sense again now 😁

Skypiea is one of the best arcs. It truly represents what one piece was all about back in the day

[@deving9799]

about the eyes, why focus solely on the closed/removed eye, but not the open eye? Chapter 908 during the Reverie shows Im in the flower garden cutting and stabbing wanted posters/images of Luffy, Poseidon, and Blackbeard. Luffy's poster section with his left eye was cut away and his right eye remained; Shirahoshi/Poseidon's left eye was stabbed out, leaving her right eye intact; but Blackbeard was the opposite, his right eye section was cut away, leaving his left eye. In Egyptian mythology, the eye of Ra, canonically drawn on the right side, represents, among other things, the sun, while the eye of Horus, canonically drawn left, represents, among other things, the moon. Just throwing this out there.

This is a crossover I wasn't expecting! Really enjoyed Ohara's video, one of the few theories that have blown me away. And he does an excellent job selling it! Totally not Mark's Checkered Fate was also one hell of a ride, in case you have an hour to spare and want to check it out :D

To be honest, your bell chapter “theory” was easier to believe.

[@michaelh9649]

I’m so glad you’re actually giving it some thought and saying what you don’t agree with. The main idea of the theory is really cool and compelling, but some of the evidence seemed so ridiculous to me (the chapter math), and some I straight up had no idea what Ohara was getting at (his showing the last panel of a chapter and the Wano-esque cover page of the following chapter and deciding that the connection is so obvious and mind blowing that there is no need to even say what it is-maybe I’m just dumb, though…). Anyways, this is the best reaction I’ve seen to this theory, by far, so thanks

[@TwoTonTiger]

I always mistrust people who phrase all of their conclusions as questions. Phrases like "wouldn't it make sense that..?" or "doesn't it seem fitting that..?" are not answers on their own haha - they just trick you into thinking they making a statement

[@JuanPerez-gg1xd]

Yea it kinda reminds me of the ancient aliens show which annoyed me with those phrases

[@rdblocks5490]

Bruh it's a theory he isn't answering a question that a teacher asked he is theorizing it if he says it like yea you dumasses the one piece is here and it fell from skypiea the people would hate him this is a theory this isn't oda making his story

[@IbbyMelbourne]

@@rdblocks5490 Nah. In the real world, theory is NOT about coming up with answers through random connections. For example, in science or history, when finding connections you must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these connections are related. Or remove reasons for why it can't be explained by something else, such as random coincidence. You can't just say "wouldn't it be cool?", or "wouldn't it make sense if..." You'd be laughed out of the room if you did that. Ohara's resons were... pointing out all the characters with scars on their right eyes, and vague word play from 800 chapters ago - back when Oda thought this was only gonna be a 5 year stoy. It's not a very strong case, and the way he talked about his points like they were big revelations was annoying. Especially because you have to look past all that fluff to find the actual good stuff. Liam pointed that out. To convince people, you need to spend most of your time on WHY it's connected beyond a reasonable doubt, while disproving other reasons like coincidence. Ohara didn't do that.

I dont know if this is relevant but if u look at the skull shape map the left eye the city of gold full circle shinning yellow like the sun and the right eye thats cut out is the shape of a moon.
