ABD has always been about covering multiple mangas/animes. Sawyer focused on One Piece. Nothing wrong with what either does.

The connection to the pilot novel (Romance Dawn) is what convinced me of your theory because it gives evidence for Oda’s stream of consciousness and evolution as a writer.

I genuinely believe in Occam’s razor. That thought process can be applied to one piece. While other theories are far complicated and far fetched, we can simply look and reread one piece and perhaps find the answer to some of the mysteries of One Piece.

[@praneethbhatt7605]

This ties in perfectly with chapter 1056. Buggy has created the Cross Guild, specifically not a pirate crew, and is placing bounties on Marines. Essentially he is doing what the world goverment did years ago, trying to be at the top to determine what (or who) is right or wrong, even though everyone is pirates to begin with.

Should be noted that as you pointed out, the patern of Luffy defeating the enemy when the original hero of the location couldn't do it is indeed intentional. It could be what Oda has been setting up from the beginning. The original Joyboy failed, so Luffy will succeed. This time, instead of one location, it's the entire world.

[@Basti_Tetze]

Sometimes I tend to believe that this series is how Oda would like our world to be, One Peace or rather wishes for it to be in the future. There is so many parallels to the actual world we live in that I think he wants to show us the way to go in some way. This series was, is and will always be brilliant and there is so much to learn from it when looking into it deeply. Also one of the greatest theories I've ever listened to. Well done!

[@applegoblinjeans]

I always thought the "D" was a sideways smile. Since nika smiles i think it makes sense to have his lineage not harmed so instead of a last name they just thought put a D in place of it.

[@another7674]

I think D stands for Dawn. Bringing about the Dawn of a new age

[@jwpppr]

​@@another7674 I've also been confident for a while that both of these are implicit. Dawn would be thematically very appropriate for the of the sun god and it fits with the obvious conclusion of the story that a member of the D clan, the "natural enemy" of the "gods" who keep the world in subjugation, will finally overthrow them and bring about the dawn of a new era. Dawn is also a homophone of Don!! which means to do something with a smile on one's face, and also ties the story back to very beginning, Romance Dawn. As for the smile theory, it also works perfectly for the story insofar as it's a trait common to every D clan member, ties in with the name Joy Boy, and the name Laugh Tale. There's a pretty consistent association between members of the D clan and people being able to smile/ laugh in the face of death or adversity...

[@an0mndr]

I think the kingdom may have even been named "Won Peace" implying that the king of this kingdom had to fight in order to create the kingdom in the first place, and the current generation has to fight so hard in order to rediscover it. I also think that if the straw hat really is a symbol of the kingdom, or its crown, then the red band HAS to symbolize the Red Line, implying that the actual palace there was the palace of Won Peace, but it was likely taken by the now "World Government" when they eventually won the war against the ancient kingdom. Another possibility is that the ancient kingdom was so massive, it actually stood higher than the Red Line, symbolized by the "sun" part of the hat symbol is above the "Red Line" part of it.

[@georgehannaford8014]

"Won Peace" is a brilliant idea

[@FireDragon3131]

I think the skypiea ark was more than just them going to the floating island but explaining the history long ago. The Skypieans are the celestial dragons, people who claim the land as their own and impose rules upon it and the Shandorians are the people of the D clan, the original owners of the land and are trying to take it back. So the will of d was shown here to start as what will eventually happen. If you look at Enel, he is similar to Im, someone who rules the land and trying to claim its ultimate power for themselves to prevent those from taking control back and to move to a higher status. Those of the D clan will fight the Celestial dragons to claim it back and eventually claim it back showing that people can live in peace and become one, becoming one whole piece

[@lanthiandokenhennes1805]

In the same way that a dictator in the real world stays in power - he has under him several trusted people who, like him, understand that they cannot rule alone. Representing individual branches of state infrastructure, they cut off everyone from it without proper contacts and influences that they cannot have without the consent of the representatives (Gorosei). Over time, their eldest sons or the most trusted people from their immediate environment get in their place, and no one else is allowed to this power. If someone unauthorized tries to get there, they get rid of him or weaken him so much that he is no longer able to fight for this position without their help. In the world of One Piece, so far the strongest rules. It is enough to make sure that due to, for example, their age they will not match in strength but are still strong enough to defend themselves against their rivals who work for them (Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Akainu) - if not 1v1 then as a group. If Imu is immortal, he has had enough time so far for these 800 years to make sure that in the event of rebellion, his experience of fighting alone will crush each of them and their descendants.

I always felt that Joy Boy was a Pirate King of a Penal Colony that the other 20 kingdoms were using. Joy Boy led a revolt freeing the colony from the kingdoms, who practiced slavery, and started liberating the slaves of the 20 kingdoms and bringing them to the land of the free(Progressive Ancient Kingdom) which had peoples from all over. This made Joy Boy an enemy of the 20 slaver kings, who later became the celestial dragons. Everyone with a D initial is a descendant of ancient slavery and a survivor of the ancient kingdom.

[@cuthip]

Bro you cookin with this one 🔥🔥🔥

[@Erik-qz7wm]

I loved this video. Even more so because it can tie into some other theories that I've heard. For instance, if the Ancient Kingdom was the Kingdom of One Peace, perhaps it ruled over a sea that we've never seen before; the All Blue. A kingdom of freedom and peace ruling over a sea with no borders - no red line, no calm belt - makes sense to me(this is following the theory that the Red Line was not always a part of the world). Furthermore, this would mean that finding the One Piece is not only about finding the Ancient Kingdom, but also about reuniting the seas by destroying the Red Line and using Poseidon to control the Calm Belt(following the theory that the One Piece is the destruction of the Red Line+Calm Belt and/or the all blue). Luffy's dream of being the freest could be achieved on the freest of seas. This also allows Sanji's dream of finding the All Blue to be realized. Anyway, I think that this video presented interesting information, and I enjoyed it a ton.

[@RevanX77]

I agree that the Red Line and Calm Belt aren't naturally occurring. But because they're not, and because we know Lunarians lived atop the Red Line before the World Government, can't that only mean that the Lunarians, or someone else, created the Grand Line and divided the world before the WG came to power?

[@demonslayereren3970]

peaceful anarchy?

[@chamorvenigo]

1. The Red Line and the Calm Belts was always meant to look unnatural. It is quite obvious that it was meant as a form of protection especially when we know that Wano is in the New World. 2. Spoiler theory: One Piece is not a WMD that would destroy the Red Line and unite everyone. If that is the case, then you are not paying attention to the recurring themes. The Ancient Kingdom is long gone, there is nothing to gain from reviving an ancient civilization or in vilifying a government that is competent in taking care of its people. One Piece is just saké (in Japanese, beer is also a type of saké). Maybe a type of special sake that restores people's memory of the past which in turn heals their pain. 3. I wager, in typically Shonen fashion, Luffy will destroy the Red Line by simply punching it hard. No further explanation needed. 4. At the end of the story, everyone around the world will get together to enjoy the Bink's saké in a party throwed Luffy called the One Feast.

I think the D are descendants of the ancient kingdom aka the perfect society, Joyboy was a figure of hope, joy and freedom to these people. Their way of life was to live freely, and love with no regrets. I think the D smile in death to pay homage to NIKA, by remembering him in death, so as to keep him alive, allowing someone to carry on his will in the future.

The only way for Sanji to find all blue is at the start of the Grand Line after Reverse mountain, or by by breaking and smashing open the Red Line. To create 1 whole, One Piece, one sea at peace. The issue is this would destroy Fishman Island if they do it at Mariejois and cause a great flood like Noah's great flood because the seas have different levels of height, the first part of the Grand Line has a higher level. If only they had a great ark... Oh wait there are 2...

[@ca8740]

Love your articulations Hidden! This one's a gem. My take is that One Piece is all the world's nations being able to coexist as one world without segregation or tyranny. After the WG took control 800 years ago, they strategized to divide and conquer, destroying nations that didnt hold the same ideals. Luffy is doing the opposite of the WG, liberating suppressed nations that he visits on his way to his goal, slowly bringing the world back together into one piece. Once it's whole again, Luffy can hold the biggest banquet that he's been dreaming about. The D has got to be either the initial of the Ancient Kingdom or the name of the King of the Ancient Kingdom like you alluded to. I know it's an oversimplification on my end. Cant wait for Oda to drop these revelations on us!

At this point it's pretty obvious that "D" is the shape of the mouth when laughing. Luffy surely laughs a lot when he's in Gear 5 because that's the original trait of Son God Nika and most probably Joy Boy. Oda also put a ridiculous amount of detail related to laughter and joy in this whole series. Each character has a different style of laughter, Laugh Tale is supposed to be the final island in which resides the One Piece, Joy Boy is the name of the previous Sun God Nika fruit owner, and most of the D clan members surely laugh a lot. I have a feeling that Shanks is also a member of the D clan which is why Roger passed the Straw Hat to him.... Roger found the One Piece but didn't have the Sun God Nika fruit to "activate" it, so he passed the will to Shanks to find the fruit since Shanks is also a D obviously... Shanks search for the fruit and found it but is "accidentally" eaten by Luffy... Since Shanks knew that the fruit had finally chosen it's owner after 800 years, Shanks was willing to sacrifice his own hand to save Luffy to show how important Luffy is. He even gave Luffy the straw hat because he knew that Luffy will become the one who will find the One Piece and finally fulfill the Joy Boy promise / will of D.

[@jeanpablotwice6058]

If he ordered Shanks to find the fruit, Shanks would eat the fruit as soon as he found it. And we know he found it. There was absolutely no reason for him to transport the fruit any further.

[@hkhan3535]

@@jeanpablotwice6058 imagine yourself being Shanks. You knew the true power of the fruit, its origin and nobody ever ate that fruit since the past 800 years, so would you ate it? Of course not because you knew that only someone worthy enough should be eating it. Even if he tried to eat it, he can't because the fruit has it's own will and it wouldn't let Shanks to eat it if he's not the "one". So the best thing to do is to just transport it until the fruit "choose" its owner.

[@jeanpablotwice6058]

@@hkhan3535 You wrote that Roger couldnt activate One Piece, so he ordered Shanks (who u think is D also) to find it. You said nothing about ordering Shanks to find it and give it to someone worthy. Also, yeah, i dont realy get how the hell fruit, even having his own will, could stop anyone from eating him. Imo everybody can eat the fruit, but it will be just a gomu-gomu (or something else), with 0 chances of awakening, unless the person goes on a "meaningful freedom rampage". It was never stated that no1 used the fruit for the last 800 years. It was stated that Marine cant get it + JoyBoy was not there for 800 years. This means, no user has awakened it during that time. There is a solid theory, that this tfruit gives a power based on user imagination, so its highly possible that it represented various mediocre powers during that time, so it was under the marine radar. They know that Luffy posseses this Nika fruit now, only because of the awakening

[@hkhan3535]

@@jeanpablotwice6058 Nope I did not mentioned to give it to someone worthy because Shanks could also be the one worthy for it. Which is why Roger passed his hat to Shanks in the first place. In the first episode, shanks made fun of the devil fruit user can't swim, which is probably why he didn't ate it earlier or took some time before eating it. You did make a valid argument about the fruit's will and I agree since I just remembered that the Gorosei said that the fruit haven't awakened for centuries, so there's a possibility that someone had eaten it before. However since shanks crew knew that it's called Gum Gum Fruit even before Luffy ate it, I disagree that the fruit's power (before awakening) is based on its user's imagination. The fruit will always give its user that stretching ability which is why the name is Gum Gum fruit. Talking about the straw hat, I also believe that the straw hat that Luffy wear is just a symbol or remembrance to find the actual straw hat which is in Im's possession. I believe that it is actually "Saturn" because if you look at the one piece logo, Luffy's head looks like planet Saturn. Since Saturn is the God of Wealth, time & Liberation, it does make sense (drums of liberation). So what will happen in the end is Luffy will become big using his nika2 power, then he will wear "Saturn" to control all 3 ancient weapons. It's just a theory so there's no point in arguing whether it's correct or not lol.

[@jeanpablotwice6058]

@@hkhan3535 So you agree that it was pointless to travel with the fruit, since Roger told Shanks to get it + Shanks might have been "worthy". I dont get the argument with "no swimming". Its like Shanks thought "oh, there is that huge prophecy involved with this super-strong fruit, its needed to save the world from WG, but i wont ever eat it because i wont be able to swim". Come on, every second pirate in series cant swim. The cost of fruit is almost non-existant. Its not like "you get super power but die in 10 years" cost. Even if Shanks was super strong already and didnt need another power up, he knew the fruit was essential. And yeah, i know its more possible that fruit always gives gomu-gomu. But that explaination is shit to me, because if its true, it doesnt make any sense. WG would chase down EVERY gomu-gomu user instantly and imprison them while they aint super-strong yet. Why take any risks, when its not even a hard task?? This means they would send everybody nessesary for the task to complete. Yeah, imagine Luffy fighting Kizaru or Akainu in first 10 episodes of OP. Because if Nika is always gomu-gomu, and its ULTRA important thing to stop for Gorosei, it would be the only thing making sense.

[@didack1419]

The one problem I have is with the name of the Ancient Kingdom. The name "One Piece" was not given by Roger. 37:55 I wouldn't say that is a "story in Greek mythology" given that it was a place that appeared in a short narration of Plato embedded into one of his dialogues, of which even Aristotle (Plato's student) thought was made-up.

[@StrawHat777]

You just gave more credit to his theory of the name being One Piece… you’re being critical with a blind spot which is the evidence he gave previous to announcing the name of the Ancient Kingdom. That is that he said it’s such an important name ANYONE regardless of if they’re the common man or noble would be able to hear it or in this case know of it and understand what the Ancient Kingdom is. It should be common knowledge, common enough that upon watching the “Pirate King” being executed a random man in the crowd asked if it’s true that this common knowledge exists and Roger confirmed I found it it’s true go obtain it EVERY SINGLE AVERAGE PERSON screamed and went out to seas starting the great age of piracy to chase the one piece. You’re exactly right, Roger did not coin the treasures name as One Piece, the PEOPLE of the world did!!!!!

[@didack1419]

@@StrawHat777 sorry, I don't buy it. That this name would randomly get attached to the treasure and even appear on the newspaper of the WG is too much of a convenience for me. One Piece's allows itself this type of stuff, maybe, but it's very unintuitive that this would happen unless Oda will have a plot device character linking the two and spreading it, which it may easily still be a big convenience.

Minor adjust, the word SOL is not "just" the Spanish word for Sun, it derives from the Indo-European word SAEWEL (that sounds similar) and was later adapted in Latin "SOLIS", which was the language of the Roman empire, from there, nearly every language that derives directly or is heavily influenced by Latin uses a variation of the word SOLIS, having at the end Portuguese and Spanish languages using SOL.

sol, soul, heart (soul is sometimes symbolic for heart, "that criminal doesn't have a soul"), idealism, utopianism, a golden age civilization (the ancient kingdom of One Piece world), half reason its golden is because of better science (bloodlines/DNA) and or magic (devil fruit research?), the other half is because of the heart (Joyboy and his people?)
