I heard this theory a while ago, and I’m actually CONVINCED this is how the show will end. The One Piece is actually a weapon that will destroy the red continent, making all the different seas into one big sea(this will become the All Blue that Sanji dreams of), and enable all pirates to sail the Great Sea freely with no division. This would also complete Luffy’s dream. It actually seems like the perfect ending to the series and would make perfect sense, as all the big baddies(the World Government and Celestial Dragons) are stationed there as well
@livelaughlovesanji Жыл бұрын
This is one of my absolute favorite theories. 🙌🏼 🥹 It’s also beautiful cuz it would also make the prophecy of Luffy destroying Fishman Island come true, since it’s under the Red Line. It’s why not only Laboon, but countless whales have scars on their heads-the Red Line is completely unnatural and was likely manmade by the world govt during the blank century-and has disturbed the whales’ natural migration patterns, so they bang their heads on it hoping to take it down, but to no avail. 😭Destroying the red line would also make the world “one piece” again, both literally in the sense that there is no longer a divide, and figuratively in that everyone can live together in harmony once more without the government’s tyrannical reign ❤️. The other pronunciation of One Piece’s kanji is “Hitotsunagi no Daihihou” which has multiple similar translations, but 2 of which are literally “The Treasure That Binds All People Together”, or “One Sea at Peace”. 😩🤌🏼🙌🏼 I too am convinced that this is how it will end 🥹 it sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. I love the idea of the straw Hats’ dreams being fulfilled in tandem with luffy finding the one piece like you mentioned: Sanji’s all blue, Nami mapping the whole world, Franky getting to sail the dream ship across all seas…❤️

He has the usual wooden barrel-like pint on him there which I'd say is usually associated with alcohol, though when he asks for more the phrasing doesn't make it clear what he's drinking. I'd also expect to get some grumbling from Zoro if he doesn't get to drink for a whole arc. So I wouldn't expect it to be illegal there. However, I _could_ certainly see them having a very minor drinking culture, and it's possible that when the capital was clearly going to become a warzone, they evacuated the civilians, who may have then taken what little alcohol they had with them. So it could still work, just a little less straightforward.
@Raaxon Жыл бұрын
The most interesting thing I find about Zoro always getting lost is it fully seems to be something he developed DURING the series. Its not something that seems to happen in the East Blue saga, theres zero comedy scenes of him getting lost, in fact, we only start to see him losing his sense of direction around the time of Little Garden (he completely misses the Giants' fighting until he's captured by Mr 3; he gets lost on Drum Island after swimming in the ice cold river which puts him directly in front of Docterine; he gets lost with Luffy and Chopper in Alabasta), and its literally only in the Sky Islands' arc that he gets any sort of "I've gotten lost and separated from the crew" gag. And the only thing that's changed from the start of the series to that point is the fact he picked up the cursed sword, the Sandai Kitetsu. Now we don't actually know the details of the curse, just that the sword is a "problem child" and seems to have a will of its own - not to the extent of a person, maybe closer to the will that Zoan fruits are said to have. I think the sword fully commited to being Zoro's sword without cursing him, but it IS a prankster and wants to cut things up, and so influences Zoro juuuust slightly enough to put him on paths that frustrate and baffle him, so that when he gets into combat, he's already annoyed and ready to fight.

I think the Strawhats are actually going to have a Davey back fight with the Red-haired pirates, but it will of course be on a completely different level. When Luffy and Shanks meet, Luffy will give his hat to Shanks, however since the Straw hat is so important Luffy will challenge Shanks to the Davey back to get his hat back. And not only that, but instead of the Straw Hats taking the Red-haired pirates flag or crewmates, they will join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet in an alliance(not subservient) and give up their own reasons for wanting the One Piece. This is how you have these two pirate groups meet and not actually fight for real. Assuming that Shanks isn't evil, which he probably isn't, in my opinion.

Oda doesn't actually have a single solitary idea where he is going with the story, but he has accidentally built such a hype that he is afraid of what the fandom will do to him, since nothing he could ever pull will result in a truly satisfactory ending, so he is inventing more and more things and tying them into what he has already written, just to prolong the time until the eventual crash and burn.

She fell down the stairs got amnesia and instead of her father telling the truth lies to her, gives her a new name, and gives her to the marines so she can find a new home and not be a swordswoman but she ends up training under the marines to be one because even tho she lost her memories who she is will still be ingrained into her

Whether we like it or not Caribou is a plot egg (barrel?) waiting to hatch. His fruit’s ability to contain something is going to be important as a result. Brook hiding the rubbings in his body is going to be foreshadowing that Caribou has a ponoglyph or even a road ponoglyph (The last road one IS missing) inside his body. It will earn him a place on the crew/fleet for it (in addition to feeding Luffy before). He has also overheard a certain STRAW HAT BONDING MOMENT in the manga (kept vague for spoilers). How can you ever introduce a new straw hat and they not be present for that moment, huh?! 😜

As funny as all the takes regarding fake-out deaths is, I'm legitimately afraid that we will see more dead characters in the current story. Not through fake-outs, but through Brook's awakening. I think there is a good chance that he will be able to temporarily call people's souls back from the dead (and possibly implant them into a body, similarly to Moria with the shadows). I hate the idea so much, but I can't help but feel like Oda would love the opportunity to shoehorn the likes of Ace back into the present story.

my bad take: Pell surviving is good. Thematically I've always felt that Pell dying would have killed the arc for me, and a big part of why I loved it was the whole thing of luffys conflict with vivi and the "People die." scene. I feel like it gets misinterpreted. The point was that Vivi can't prevent everyone's deaths alone, and she needs to accept that others will take on risk. Like if vivi only risks her own life, she's heading to doom and a lot of people are guaranteed to die anyway, she's holding her friends back from risk while her people stay in danger. But Luffy convinces her to let her friends risk their lives too, and if they all take on the risk, maybe they can save everyone. And they do! Even if they don't know at first, it felt good as a reader to see everyone actually make it and prove crocodile wrong. Like, gambling and beating the house against all odds. There are several scenes that make it clear Oda was planning on an ending like that. Crocodile says "just throw away one or two friends and you could stop all of this." Luffy tells Crocodile directly to his face "Vivi doesn't want a single person to die in this rebellion." Sometimes the house doesn't always win.

for what its worth the only fakeout death in the entire series i actually think was bad and didn't help the story was Kinemon. I was glad he got to reunite with Tsuru but him surviving made literally no sense and seemed completely unnecessary in the overall scheme of things. Wano wouldn't have like, been thematically ruined if Kinemon died the way Alabasta would have been ruined if Pell died. It probably would have felt more appropriate considering he talked so much about being prepared to die.

After escaping from Garp’s ship back in the East Blue, Captain “Axe Hand” Morgan joined forces with Kuro, Don Krieg and Arlong (they intercepted the Marine ship that was taking him to prison) and they will be the final villains of the series. Using Don Krieg’s stolen marine ship and weapons, Morgan’s marine knowledge, Arlong’s ocean knowledge and Kuro’s strategic mind they managed to conquer the Grand Line and find Laugh Tale. They are now waiting there for Luffy for an ultimate revenge showdown. They will also recruit Buggy and Alvida around that time to round out their ensemble of East Blue saga villains.

I totally had that idea before on Brook. Like he is telling the story as the narrator many, many years in the future because he can't die. He doesn't have any organs or flesh anymore, so nothing can degrade on him. He could be living hundreds of years in the future telling the story of the Straw Hat Pirates and how they changed the world.

This is what I remember fondly of OP. Pre-timeskip. Main cast are all original, cool, novel and incredibly synergetic with one another. And is not only that they are all well written, is that the scenarios they use to be put in were just as crazy and unique as them. Sanji first battle was literally under water. Zorro's most epic battle was with a giraffe. My favorite parts of this show are when the crew was on cruise. Just vibing and being themselves. Numerous arc stories separate the straw hats. But it's a fact that the fun iest shit happen when even two of them are together. That whole Condoriano bit, an ussop and zorro original. Luffy mocking crocodile in arabasta, ussop laughing like an idiot. Stuff like that was what I was looking forward to at the end of an arc when they all get on the ship. It used to be genuinely crazy original.

They’re finally gonna find the onepiece but as luffy is trying to open the chest it’s gonna slip out of his hands and the entire crew will have an amazingly animated scene of each of them madly grasping for the chest in a way the displays the personality. The chest will bounce of all of their heads and hands and fall in the oceans where it sinks to depths unimaginable. Oda will add insult to injury by confirming that he actually does know what one piece is a year and a half later he will admit in an interview he does in fact kno what the one piece is, and it’s super important to the story b ur thematically he thought it was better for us not to know. 30 years later he’s an old man and has had a change of heart so he sets up an e event to announce what the one piece is but at that moment realizes he has forgotten. He wrote it down, but all those notes got washed away in one of the first in a series of floods that became almost like a season in Japan over the 40s and fifties, prompting most people to move off the island. He dies the year after with every single person he had ever told dying in the 30 year period before he decided he wanted to reveal what the one piece is. His lost word launch the great pirate era, as tons of people eager to make a name for themselves and chase down this ledge d. Amount them, a rubber man known as straw hat luffy. Along with his faithful crew they will embark on adventures in search of the great one piece! 🎶 climb aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams!😮🎶

Luffy is the real child of Roger. Luffy and Ace are actually closer to the same age and they were secretly switched at birth. The story about Ace’s mom delaying his birth was a ruse to make Ace more plausibly Roger’s kid timeline wise.

Ace was really no one special, but just a scapegoat Garp decided to sacrifice if anyone discovered he hid Roger’s real kid.

My guy Captain Kuro probably isn't the most complex villain, but he deserves a little more credit. He couldn't've poisoned Ms. Kaya cause he needed her will. The only way to do that is Jango's hypnosis. And he needed Ms. Kaya's death to look accidental otherwise he could be suspected, especially in such a small village. Hence why he needed his crew to come back. If he can blame them he'll never be suspected. More than anything else, he just wanted his own sublime piece of mind. His downfall was he couldn't sedate his own bloodlust. He cuts down Merry early for no reason, which leads to Kaya knowing about him ahead of time. In the anime only, right after he "kills" Merry he debates killing Kaya right then and there.. with no inheritance will. Just cause he's thirsting for blood..

This is one that made more sense back in WCI/Dressrosa but Caesar Clown was going to be a Straw Hat simply because the marines and world government kept seeing him together with the Straw Hats not knowing that Caesar is only just taken as a hostage/prisoner. (This one I genuinely believed in) Monet was alive. In the manga the stab on the heart was shown from below and in the next panel the iron rod he used to stab her with was a good distance away from the heart which could've implied that it grazed the heart and slipped away on the ice. Also the added information that you can actually survive a stab to the heart if you get medical attention and the idea was that Chopper found it and kept it/healed it up. It also tied to the theory that Dressrosa will end by Sugar turning Doflamingo in to a toy so that he could avoid getting captured, which would give Monet a reason to stay with the Straw Hats (if she starts looking for them to get her heart back) cause she'd forget about Doflamingo and if Doffy ever gets turned back to human it wouldve been an interesting plot point for Monet cause she suddenly remembered her loyalties. It goes a bit deeper than that but yeah basically Monet4Nakama.

Long after the people who knew the people who knew the people he knew are dead.

Pirate Hunter Zoro is such an extremely cool title, on its own but especially in context (and I think for Kaido etc. to say it), that I never understood the whining about it near the end of Wano and wish for a replacement by the way more straightforward King of Hell (pretty worthy though) based on petty powerscaling (implying that it's only tied to the beginning). It elevates Luffy and the whole crew by extension, like Urouge's statement about him. While not losing viciousness. And it automatically implies a kind of respect by an enemy to use it.
