The secret behind the Gorosei’s True Power: One Piece Theory

Devil Fruit weapons will revolutionize one piece fights forever and the Gorosei will be the first to show us their full potential. Shanks and his crew also has devil fruit weapons and that's what makes them so over powered.

The reason i believe the Zoan Animals that came out of their weapons were Black was because they are fully covered in Armament Haki. Just as a sword would be. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@kingdraco4813]

I Agree, Punk Hazard also got me thinking about it have a script since early this summer about it. Buy Personally I belive Shanks has the Dragon Fruit (Western Dragon Model). But could also be his Cape or his ship. They reason why i because he is very Dragon Themed, with elbaf and his ship and also has a flaming sword like Lucifer. The biggest reason why I belive that Shanks gpt the dragon fruit. Is becuase I belive thats the Zoand Fruit Black Beard is looking for (Unless his Yami Yami No mi is a Zoan like luffys fruit). The reason why is Because I think Blackbeard represents Satan and he already have 2 fitting fruits for him based apon the Christian Apacalypse. Because it talks about how 2 multiheaded Beast and a BlackDragon who will Engulf thwe World in Darkness and make the world tremble => Darkness = Yami and Tremble/Earth Quakes = Gura amd mpw he lacks the Dragon Fruit (Dont think he will get Kaidos or Orochis, but they are options I supose). The multi headed beast usally go confused for Satan, but in actuallity he is a Black Dragon.

[@2Bros-OVO]

Yo, you might be onto something. For example what would happen if ryou was charged into a devil fruit weapon?

[@ulfurvojn6893]

A theory ran around reddit some time ago ; basically the main point was that Blackbeard, thanks to some Void Century knowledge, knew how to infuse DF abilities to objects, thus actually giving the Gura powers to one of his rings. It would also align with the fact that we know Vegapunk recently researched and succedeed in infusing objects (and even robots) himself. That would explain, at least in part, why the Gorosei won't leave him alone anymore ; this is knowledge they want to keep for themselves. I'd actually go so far as to say that Saturn known as the "god-warrior of science" is actually called so because he is in charge of keeping scientific progress in check, rather than helping with it. Anyway, solid video & editing, thought provoking aswell.

[@omabang5002]

Why Marco says BB have weird body structures when he got the gura gura fruit though? Interesting theory nonetheless

[@SirSteadyhandz]

I could see Yasopp's weapon having eaten the bee bee fruit. The bullets would turn into bees as their fired and being able to chase down enemies. And the bee theme would be a cool parallel to Usopp who uses plants

[@jesusriced]

That would be interesting but I feel the bullets being bees would nerf the bullets. I really think though however usopp should get a df infused slingshot. Or even the iron pirate but franky would never let that happen

[@kyleow1863]

that would be downplaying his capabilities as a shooter. Where would ussop have learned to shoot like that if his dad was cheating?

[@SirSteadyhandz]

@@kyleow1863 I get what you're saying but Usopp's dad left him and his Mom at a very early age so I don't he was actually taught how to shoot from his Dad. I think it was more inherited from his Dad. I don't think him having bee like homing bullets would be necessarily cheating no more than Luffy being called a cheater for having a DF ability that allows him to punch better than your average person. I picture him having an attack called queen bee shot where once it lands it emits a pheromone that allows his other bee bullets to track their targets.

[@kyleow1863]

​@SirSteadyhandz fair... but still if he inherited his skill... how did that happen if yassop never actually had any skill? Just bees?

[@spiritbreakermlbb]

This is revolutionary! It also makes sense why the huge straw hat is in "prison". What if it contains a devil fruit which Imu cannot control? OMG. What if the straw hat is a clinton cloud? A huge powerup for Luffy to fight Imu. Thus, Imu also have a devil fruit weapon in a form of a sword.

[@julianhinck5455]

Or maybe a certain throne ?

[@Alex-nu6ux]

Cool theory but i think the Gorosei have corrupt devil fruits based on what sabo said.+ bro the I'm in love with the background ost I've heard it in a couple of your videos so I'd appreciate it if you tell me its name 🙏🏻

[@Middleway101]

Yes i love the OST as well, it’s called Blessed and you can find it on pixaby, let me know if this link works: pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-blessed-main-120698/

[@bronzebattlecolt]

I bet Saint Jay Garcia will have the Mythical Zoan Minotaur in his possession

[@deppenfamily3329]

the thumbnail look like them antismoking ads with the metal monster

[@manman22576]

I can see the possibility. The egghead arc also mentioning kuma, who is a human, but become a weapon who can still use his devil fruit

[@harshiljain5404]

This theory also explains the grip reaper that zoro saw after his fight against king. It might be manifestation of will of mythical zoan model hell king reaper that was eaten by enma. The will of this devil fruit was testing zoro strength And when zoro won it's trust he became ethe new hell king

[@papichulo4471]

One of Zoro's sword will get a devil fruit confirmed 💯

[@ragingpirate5727]

I could see the old men having those but that’s kinda making shanks and his crew weaker. They’ve become the haki standard and this would ruin that. Haki has been the most important part of the new world

[@Middleway101]

They will still be the Haki Standard, but they will have something a little extra which makes them that much more over powered. Also the Gorosei are just about as Strong as Shanks in my opponent

[@NewsomeProductions]

Well this theory was proven wrong. But 8 like it

[@nakamatattoo5598]

Fantastic ideas man. Keep them coming!

[@noctimereaper460]

I could see this being the case like you have presented in this video, that the next stage of power in One Piece explored will be DF Weapons finally and my own opinion magik the final stage of the 3 types of Haki!

[@keatonjohnston7258]

This theory is extremely underrated. I really hope you are onto something here!!

[@095-tayordarang2]

I am afraid sanji wont be a hypedoll for saturns power🥺

[@femto9886]

I feel like the next time we see a devil fruit weapon is when ussop somehow gets one in elbaf

[@IMO3530]

One of the best theorists for sure nice work

[@sammyomamma3766]

Considering luffys sword skill up to this point a devil fruit sword would be perfect for him it would fit his style completely

[@onliwonkenoli9868]

Lets goooo MW. Always here for your takes bro. God Ussop stocks are through the roof

[@deppenfamily3329]

oh my god. yassopp could have a hercules beetle df gun.

[@hgoggs]

welp 1094 killed this theory for the gorosei at least, but maybe the black clouds play a similar role, like a reverse awakening? we will definitely see more devil fruit weapons, we know a giant in elbaf has one so the red hair pirates may have some too. at least stocks are up on the sanji theory with the way that chapter ended with zoro and kizaru on top and luffy, sanji and saturn down below.

[@rororo5198]

Soooo happy you mentioned this I said this the moment I seen this chapter....Thank you!!!!! I tried to see if Tekken 101 would give it a thought but he just ignored the idea you now have me hooked 🔥🔥🔥

[@Distant_View]

Yo, great video, even if I don't think it's true at all haha I definitely don't want the Gorosei or Shanks' crew to all hold devil fruit weapons, though I can see it with the God's Knights. Any theory on how Otama had a tea kettle with a tanuki devil fruit? Or is it just a background joke like Pandaman that isn't supposed to make sense?

[@dannynolovexx11xx39]

i said this to my lil bro years ago about shanks and the strongest fighters and it would explain griffin name and ben Beckman pistol .

[@jesusriced]

I think yassop is called the chaser cause of his observation he just knows where his target will go

[@FangLeng-lh4gn]

My mind Blowen Away. Great theroy about current situation. i hope it is true.

[@fimas8583]

really good theory, its been too long since devil fruit weapons became a topic and i would love a reintoduction with the top tiers now

[@djperezestrella]

Makes sense, as the griffon could made him arrive at marineford soooooo fast as he did.

[@Bhud63]

Listen, whether or not it turns out to be true I liked the theory. My man RoninDiaries is someone you should check out, he makes similar think piece type videos

[@ebunadedokun2512]

What if the jailers of impel down are actually weapons that ate the zoan df and was forced to awaken using something similar to the rumble balls that allows for a more permanent but defective transformation which leads to the idea that the 5 elders didn't eat df but instead their weapons ate the df

[@jesusriced]

If that was the case they wouldn't be human shaped or have a human lower half. However they could of thru some sort of method been forced early to awaken

[@littlemacho8899]

I’m pretty sure they said that they were marines who couldn’t control their awakened zoans

[@naushadahmed9416]

my theory is that they are using devil fruit powers in the purest form, without eating a fruit you can control the fruit itself since all fruits have a will.

[@naushadahmed9416]

similar to stands i guess

[@musa8869]

Interesting theory! I'm wondering of a scenario where if you're clashing with an opponent with a devil fruit weapon (say a sword). Do you think using a Seastone weapon will be able to nullify the devil fruit weapon on touch?

[@Middleway101]

So i’d say it would be a bad strategy because You would still suffer the impact of the animal hitting you or biting you and you over focusing on the animal leaves you open for someone as powerful as shanks to just take you out, seastone won’t do anything to the actual user. Which is why it’s going to be such an over powered weapon in the hands of strong people

[@yonsei8302]

The gorusei are the actual demons that come in the devil fruits, shanks and mihawk are the only men who can and have gone toe to toe in battle with the gorusei

[@JonathanGarcia-rg6om]

Saw this on another videos comment section but kumas fruit going to the thousand sunny is another possibility

[@maxcelestin2446]

I had a theory long ago about shanks not having a fruit, but he’s sword dam. I hope this is true

[@matthewfroilan1790]

What if Ussop will have the ussop's hammer upgrade with mjolnir a hammer with df that no one can lift except ussop 😂😂

[@far0oky0u25]

Well we seen Lucky Roo use his pistol and it was a regular pistol so there's that. But still that was long ago in a distant land.

[@Middleway101]

A twisted idea that i had was that the meat that lucky roo is always eating was his devil fruit weapon animal…. but i chose to omit that from the theory for obvious reasons 🤣

[@dimaschine8838]

I left u a like and a sub, but tbh I'm glad u r not writing One Piece. 😅

[@SnugglesConquererofWorlds]

Devil fruit weapons do have the unique advantage of using a devil fruit power without the water drawbacks. This is a great theory!

[@sabith1408]

Nami has a devil fruit weapon 😅

[@CastleOfAvalon]

I really hope that the gorosei aren't the ones turning in those abominations, but their weapons instead.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I speculated that Saturns power dwells within his cane

[@LazyMan8008]

at 14:34 Saturn staff has a face and a visible arm 😮

[@spiritbreakermlbb]

I think it will be the bison. What if these are the Jail Beast DFs? The Jail Beast were extracted from the Gorosei's weapons by Vegapunk. It will make sense how the Jail Beasts awakened yheir Zoans, they were already awakened by the Gorosei.

just yapping - Its way better for Shanks' to just have strong haki like Gol D Roger

[@mylesjude233]

Question, how do we make a pure haki crew look just as flashy as someone who has both devil fruit and good haki. What powers would fully haki users use that can compete with Big Mom's Soul Fruit, Kaido's Dragon Fruit, and Blackbeards twin devil fruits.

[@cayropractor1836]

@@mylesjude233 They don't need a crutch - it makes them look more badass cuz they don't need to rely on devil fruits to be powerful.

[@CHINKICHOU]

This is your first theory that actually has me convinced. Its based on facts and above all else, is consistent. Just something i noticed to solidify this, all of the swords are beasts of some sort too, as well as some look like they have elongated necks, just like funkfreed does.

[@RekaAntara]

ok

[@anthonydice1483]

This theory makes a lot of sense. Especially when oda was asked what Devil fruit would Zoro eat and Oda responded Zoro would give his sword the mythical dragon fruit. He said that it would be cool. This could be foreshadowing crazy.

[@kyleow1863]

love the idea, but unfortunately I'm here to burst your bubble. 1) how would shanks and his crew get those weapons, as far as I know only vegapunk knew how to infuse them. I doubt vegapunk was allowed or even had the chance to do that with their weapons if the world gov had any say in it. 2) I hope what you say about the gorosei end up being true but the logic is kinda flawed. you say they would have them in their weapons because they don't want to be associated with the D, but then why would they be fine w have devil fruits for their weapons? Also Imu already contradicts that idea by having him shown in his zoan form. Obv we can't see him cuz shadow and stuff, but we do see their eyes, so It's def implied

[@Democraticcivilization]

I think gorosei themselves had not eaten devil fruits ,but the IMU power that can do like "Reverse" in some way of Ope Ope fruit to share or divide power to 5 elders.

[@bilalsha1374]

I personally think that we will get another DF Weapon soon in Elbaf as I believe that if or when Ussop uses Mojiner it would have a DF

[@dadankengine6546]

A snake zoan kinda made sense especially when you look at Benn Beckmans design. His coat and gun have S’s on them with other squiggly designs

[@johndoe3307]

Maybe the reason why none of the red hair pirates ate thr gum gum fruit was becsuse they were saving it for until they found a weapon to put it in

[@Scentsei_585]

I haven't seen a object that ate a devil fruit ever remain in a dormant state makes this whole theory hard to believe for me but interesting idea none the less.

[@hasone3354]

i like it

[@manbehindzecurtain]

Was just about to comment so shanks and his crew probably has fruits the whole time then you said lol

[@captainjerm1569]

1:50 yo i had to pause here for a sec Nice theory, i hope Zoro gets a cool devil fruit for his sword

[@shortgamer6269]

i never thought about this but this is actually a banger theory. great vid.

[@JohnPasay]

Human Human Fruit Model Sailor Saturn

[@jesusriced]

Roger and his crew didnt use devil fruis. Garp doesnt use a fevil fruit. Yet look at their reputations. Kaido even said roger only needed haki devil fruits dont matter without strong haki. Im paraphrasing but still

[@luismorales-pn5gg]

Yea now imagine having crazy haki and a weapon you can haki coat that ate a mythical zoan that can manifest itself at will at ur command

[@mrbushido56]

Like how kaido made his crew eat smiles

[@OtakuTalkOD]

Awesome Theory I myself have frequently theorize in my videos that Shanks sword it's probably a mythical zoan or logia. Now I think a lot of people will be like definitely not a logia only zoans have wills/cd eat df. But what if you can imbue your own will or popular in Japanese culture because Griffin is an item so close to Shanks it eventually developed its own spirit. I also noticed the fire ability Shanks sword displayed in film red, but it also utilizes a wind ability in wano. Also if she thinks his sword is able to generate wind at his command then maybe that would explain why he's able to travel around the world so quickly.

[@OnlyKravon]

eh if shanks sword had a devil fruit why would mihawk spar with him

[@okashira073]

bcz he always was and is a swordsman, fujitora is confirmed by databooks to be a sworsman yet he has abilities non related to sword, law is the same case and has been confirmed as a swordsman in sbs101 and usopp gallery vol70, same goes for kaku and he is also a swordsman confirmed by sbs101 and zoro ackowledging kaku to be a swordsman and kaku replying to him that he is a 4 style swordsman yet he uses his legs as swords and when he enters hybrid he fights with his neck and uses headbutts extremely oftenly having a df or abilities that arent sword related doesnt make u non swordsman, cabaji from buggy's crew is another example of this, zoro ackowledged him as a swordsman and cabaji identifies himself as a swordsman despite using fire, kicks and some sort of bayblades now we have the case of king who doesnt consider himself to be a swordsman but shanks is identified by the author to be swordsman hence mihawk wanted to fight him in the past but not now bcz according to vivre cards shanks got powercliffed by mihawk

[@cinnamon6630]

Do you think zoro could be wanting to ask vegapunk for a df to feed to his sword cause he said he wanted to ask vegapunk something and in an sbs oda said zoro’s sword would have the uo uo no mi

[@ulfurvojn6893]

That would be cool from a pure "wow" standpoint, but I feel like this would greatly diminish Zoro's accomplishments as a swordsman. Unless Mihawk is revealed to have a DF sword aswell (which I would not be a fan of). I believe it would feel like kinda "cheating" to Zoro himself. But imagining a post-story Straw hat crew with Zoro having DF sword would be fire!

[@itsarthur4195]

Dude, awesome theory! I think this can also connect two major story points: how blackbeard scarred shanks, and more context on why shanks gave up his arm for luffy. For Bb, shanks probably tried to attack him with the zoan sword, but Bb nullified it with the yami yami. Thereby surprising shanks, and giving Bb a window to claw him. Next, by shanks giving his arm for luffy, this could symbolize how he has a mythical zoan for his sword in one arm, and a figurative mythical zoan nika in luffy as his other arm.

[@Kochii96]

Didnt Shanks recieve his Scar during the whitebeard vs roger pirates crew battle? I thought they were teens back then. BB didnt have his Devilfruit back then. Dunno about Shanks' sword, but I also doubt that.

[@sirtone11]

Shanks' crew having devil fruit weapons would make a lot of sense to me
