The strongest support for Crocomom theory is the sudden change in Crocodile’s behavior during Marineford after it was announced that Luffy is Dragon’s son. Croc came in clutch in a couple of moment, taking on formidable enemies for no apparent reason, delaying Ace’s execution and saving Luffy and Jimbei from Akainu.

[@cb-bp4rk]

[@revimfadli4666]

He could have a one-sided crush on Luffy's mom though, like Snape with Harry

[@derrickmiles5240]

My theory goes one step further and posits that Croc is Garp's biological daughter. And that Dragon was adopted by Garp, and raised separately. Croc and Dragon both leave their respective homes and later meet each other at Roger's execution. They fall in love and several years later Luffy pops out. Dragon and Croc seemingly never reveal their true name to anyone, so it's entirely possible they never knew they were both monkey Ds. Fast forward to Marineford and Sengoku announcing that Dragon Luffy and Garp are all related. From Croc's perspective, not knowing Dragon was adopted, Croc might believe that they had accidentally created an incest baby all those years ago. And IMO, that's why Croc looked like they were about to throw up after intercepting Milhawk, saying they were having a bad day. Dragon was probably adopted by Garp after being found unconscious at God Valley. Mirroring the way Dragon found Sabo. I think he's either Rocks' kid, like many have theorized, or perhaps Shanks' brother. This could explain why Shanks was keeping an eye on Luffy specifically.

The Kuina theory never made sense to me because Kuina wasnt even born yet when Mihawk and Shanks were rivals. The CrocoMom theory has always been the intriguing one because Oda said we've already seen Luffy's mom so it would make sense if Croc is revealed to be the missing link.

[@leespn4396]

When did oda say that?

[@exoticbutters2781]

@leespn4396 hey, I had posted a reply with a link but youtube apparently deleted it automatically. But long story short, Oda had talked about it in an interview and the reason why he hasn't made her and Dragon big deals (yet) is to not put the focus of the story on them. But admittedly the translation could've been misinterpreted but he did say he's already shown both of them several times.

Another clue for "sake piece"; the word "waraibanashi" used in the japanese version of the song, while translated as "our funny traveling tale" in the english version, can be read as "laugh tale", the name of the final island.

blackbeard ability to not sleep is a dead giveaway of his true power.. A cerberus never sleeps, least there is one head that stays on guard duty

I agree it gives it away, but it's a mythical zoan model Kraken. Octopuses sleep in 20 second bursts which makes them appear like they don't sleep, octopuses have three hearts which could justify how he can have three fruits, his flag has three skulls and 8 bone limbs mimicking the octo limbs and hearts. Hiding for the right moment is exactly how an octopus acts in the wild. Unlike a Cerberus which is meant to guard something in mythos. The similarities between him and Octopuses go on, where I can't say the same for Cereberus. Also the Cereberus not sleeping doesn't hit because there are cases of Cereberus sleeping in mythos. Plus it's Oda fashion for the first thing the Straw Hats fight once sailing into the new world is a Kraken and the final boss of the new world is also a Kraken.

There is a lot of stuff around travel that's still somewhat unexplained in One Piece, not just the Shanks thing. Like how one travels back from the grand line over Reverse mountain, or just how a lot of people seem to pass in and out of the both parts of the grand line very often without much explanation as if there are more ways to cross the red line and calm belt we haven't seen yet. Maybe the Amazons play some yet not shown smuggling role with their ability to exist within the calm belt here. E.g Robin was in East blue during the timeskip suggesting the rev army either has a way to cross the calm belt or somehow travelled reverse mountain and went through the whole grand line again to get back without saying hi to Laboon.

[@howto5771]

This may be unrelated and out of the blue but what if in chapter 1072, the girl Dr. Vegapunk at the beginning of the chapter talking about was Lilith? Out of all vegapunk, she seems to be most expressive in terms of emotion although her personality is based on "evil". She showed sorrow to the dead vegapunk, cried for edision . She also got excited when talking about leaving the island. Maybe oda is driving the story towards all the vegapunk dying except her and she joins the strawhat. Maybe we even get a emotional interaction between her and original stellar body where stellar says "out of all the satellites, you are the most humane . carry my will" or something like that. But it may not happen. We just have to wait to find out.

There are some parts of Marineford where Croc mentions fighting for something they love while defending Luffy that is just interesting for the Crocomom theory. My favorite theory is also from Marineford, and has to do with the talk Roger and Garp have where it seems to imply Garp is related to Ace or his mom. Roger tells Garp he will help protect his family, because they are precious to him too. Though I'm also convinced that Sakazuki does have a tie to Garp, they look a lot alike and have similar mannerisms.

Kuina is Tashigi. That's my theory and she did fall down the stairs, entered a coma then her father decided to send her for treatment with the government which leads to her joining the Navy, and subconsciously remembered her training but not her past. As a dad, keeping her from being hurt, her dad would have probably decided sword fighting was too dangerous after she nearly died. He only told Zoro she died because he knew Zoro wouldn't be satisfied with that choice and would have never gave up on regaining her memories holding them both back while potentially putting Kuina in danger. *Similar to Kuina, Tashigi's name comes from the name of a flightless bird called the Common Snipe (田鴫, Tashigi)* That's why I feel this is the most likely fan theory, one I've also come to on my own but expanded with other's who see the same thing. I'm not taking credit, I have no idea who posited it first, just always been my hunch too.

[@Justin_Ebright]

Kuina is a Water Rail (Asian bird). Tashigi is both a European bird and a euphemism for a bird that doesn't exist in the US where snipe hunting is basically a ruse. Take a look at a picture of both birds, I'm no ornithologist, but they look waaaaay too similar, and that's no coincidence.

[@AgeofJP]

that would also be the best excuse for Kuina not EVER being mentioned in the story since her introduction...Zoro's flashback was a dream he told nobody about, none of the Straw Hats even know Zoro's reason for his dream and only very rarely he mentioned "a promise made to a friend" and even that's been ages ago. *Nobody* except Zoro (and the few people at Shimotsuki Village) knows about Kuina, and Tashigi has been the only one he at least told that she was a swordwoman and that they look alike...ngl i really want this theory to be true mostly for the fact that the backstory hit me really hard (which was literally 20 years ago) and while Zoro has the excuse of being very stoic and carrying her will on his shoulders alone, but only Kuina=Tashigi would excuse Oda seemingly forgetting about her because it would mean he did it with intention. Along with Usopp meeting his father, this has been the most severe case of "a pay-off that has to happen eventually...EVENTUALLY" and Tashigi is the only person that connects Zoro's ambition back to Kuina

[@sychuan3729]

Tashigi is too weak for being Kuina

Liam, another argument for Croco-mom theory is that he started helping Luffy right after Sengoku announced luffy's name. The explanation given was that he didn't want the navy to win. If you, support useful people like Whitebeard and Marco and not luffy, who isn't even top 30 in that war. He even stopped mihawk and risked daz bone's life trying to stop mihawk. A counter argument is that why didn't crocodile know luffy's identity from his monkey surname but even dragon's best friend Ivankov didn't know anything about his family and background.

[@ninidoku]

Also, that Crocodile said he had a has a bad mood after figuring out that Luffy is related to Dragon. Which could be because he just learned he almost killed his son.

[@Neo-Queenserenityt2l]

I think Crocodile saved Luffy maybe because he was friends with Dragon at one point in time

[@Sweet_Karma]

​@@Neo-Queenserenityt2lBrother in law I think. I reckon Croc is Luffy's maternal uncle.

[@Robss_]

Well right now he’s out there putting bounties on marines, I think him “not wanting the marines to win” would not be so out of character 😅

[@ImAviex]

I guess, but that would imply Crocodile never knew Dragon's full name because just hearing Monkey D Luffy should have let him know.

[@Ashtarte3D]

My solution for Blackbeard still hasn't been disproven and goes with the "3 Blackbeards" thing: Chimerism. While not common by any means Chimerism in humans occurs often enough that Oda could have easily heard about it and thought "hey, that'd mean multiple devil fruits!" Which kind of tracks for how Oda loves to implement weird phenomena that he has learned about.

[@ido1124]

I can't understand how every video has such an amazing edit

[@angelmiron1991]

Especially the art

He probably hired professional editors

4:26 I think Weevil looks like Whitebeard, if Queen sneezed in the cloning tank.

[@XxMrAwesomexX]

11:01 In the recent chapter where Garp fought Aokiji, in a flashback of Garp punching ships with Aokiji, he said "My kid became a damn revolutionary!"

[@INukedMyFish]

Luffy's final goal must be to sail his pirate ship to the moon, I can't really imagine it being anything else. Makes sense for Roger's dream, makes sense why people think it's ridiculous at first hearing, and it makes sense why Ace, Sabo, Shanks and the Straw Hats believe he will actually do it. It's the greatest unknown adventure after all No idea what the One Piece could actually be, no idea what and where Laugh Tale is or how anything in the One Piece world could help with that goal or why Roger was "too soon", but if you want to sail to the moon you'd better be sure that you're the free-est man on the seas first! The moon is the only thing above the gods! Plus Enel's cover story has mysteries to unravel, and we know that Oda will probably get around to answering them. After adding a bunch more mysteries first of course. I bet the ancient kingdom either came from the moon and/or went there during the void century too

[@yinyangyt8749]

It just doesn’t make any sense with the Crocomom theory. Maybe Crocodile once being female and getting the treatment be Ivokov makes sense, but Luffy being his son. No way

[@redadder515]

I think the only thing that Crocodile owes Ivankov for, is probably saving his life after getting defeated by Whitebeard. He probably used the Healing and Tension Hormone on Croco-boy because there is no way Crocodile could've survived with nasty scar across his face given to him by Whitebeard.

[@zaifir8119]

In that case he'd definitely owe Ivankov a favour, but that is not really an emberassing secret, or a meaningful secret in general. There is no shame in being defeated and needing serious medical attention if your opponent was Whitebeard, the worlds strongest man capable of destroying the world and all that.

[@SAlma-kw7to]

8:05 I remember somewhere in the manga they said Shank was stopping King or someone but not Kaido himself.

[@conormurphy4328]

Seeing as there are people like Big Mom it seems like Kuina just needed to try more

[@pabs356]

13:45 How many english translations does Bink's brew have and which is the correct? The one I heard from the dub was: Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Gather up all of the crew It's time to ship out Bink's brew Sea wind blows To where? Who knows The waves will be our guide! 'Oer across the oceans tide Rays of sunshine far and wide Birds they sing Of cheerful things In circles passing by Bid farewell to weavers town Say so long to port renowned Sing a song It won't be long Before we're casting off Cross the gold and silver seas The salty spray puts us at ease Day and night To our delight The voyage never ends Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Gather up all of the crew It's time to ship out BInk's brew Pirates we Eternally Are challenging the sea With the waves to rest our heads Ship beneath us as our beds Hoisted high Upon the mast Our Jolly Roger flies Somewhere in the endless sky Stormy winds are blowin' by Waves are dancing Evening comes It's time to sound the drums But steady men, and never fear Tomorrow's skies are always clear So pound your feet And clap your hands Till sunny days return Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Gather up all of the crew It's time to ship out Bink's brew Wave goodbye But don't you cry Our memories remain Our days are but a passing dream Ever lasting though they seem Beneath the moon We'll meet again The wind's our lullaby Gather up all of the crew It's time to ship out Bink's brew Sing a song And play along For all the ocean's wide After all is said and done You'll end up a skeleton So spread your tale From dawn till dusk Upon these foamy seas Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho A bit excessive to write the entire song (I know) but those lyrics are nowhere to be seen!

[@sharinganshark1111]

I still have a problem with the whole “BB is actually three people” based of the “they” reference in Mock Town. Isn’t the simple answer to who Luffy was referring to and that would be BB AND his crew. The stawhats encounter BB crew without knowing they were all connected until it clicked with Luffy and Zoro. That’s my hot take on it. It would fit nicely with the whole kraken devil fruit and never needing to sleep as well as other reasons.

[@darknexis8]

I always figured it was both. Like Luffy and Zoro realized he had a crew but Oda was also hinting at the idea of more than one soul in a body.

[@goldeer7129]

But he definitely was alone at that moment... Why would it be relevant that it's "them" anyway if they guessed he was a captain ? Still, I wonder how these post Alabasta Luffy and Zoro could somehow sense something about BB being multiple people, and yet they somehow found something, and it's been around 20 years that we don't really know what it is

[@zachvandezande908]

11:19 The chapter right before Garp's defeat had a flashback of Garp telling Kuzan that his son created the revolutionary army.

[@jonathanjoestar1938]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the Rocks D Dragon theory was recently disproved. I’m pretty sure Garp referred to Dragon as his son a few weeks ago when he and Kuzan were punching the battleship bags. From memory what he said was still somewhat ambiguous like “my son has become a revolutionary” so he could theoretically have been talking about someone other than Dragon, but the clear implication was that he was talking about Dragon.

[@leespn4396]

Hence the note

It's written in the video ffs

[@RubenackerTyler1775]

2:20 It has been stated that Mihawk is Raleigh’s son

[@illegallyrick8920]

didnt Garp say "my son became a revolutionary" in 1087 meaning Dragon is actually Garps son?

[@Androtesh]

1:29 it's not a meme, it's a Valid Theory, it makes too much sense!!

[@Tyrian3k]

One thing that I find curious about Crocodile is that his seraphim has the same scar, which suggests that he gave it to himself, which is curiously something that members of the Monkey family seem to do for some reason. It doesn't prove anything, but it's still curious.

[@hey_cupcake]

Something else that would support Mihawk being Raileigh's son is a panel in chapter 966, where Roger picks up Hiyori saying he hasn't spent time with a baby in ages, while Raileigh remarks how it reminds him of the old days

[@MouleeswaranMS]

Roger meant Shanks when he said he hasn't spent time with a baby in ages

[@hey_cupcake]

@@MouleeswaranMS where do they talk about it? I've only been reading the manga, so I've been missing out on movies and other media

[@MrBeaach]

I thought falling down the stairs was a euphemism for suicide, the strangeness ,the complete lack of reason for her death the fact that its never explained or explored in the manga ,the sudden death that leaves such a massive hole in the story in of itself is the medium of exploring the topic of suicide like you can only understand it by its consequences in zoro and her father .something that oda hasn't done elsewhere with any other theme is to not come back to it later.when zoro beats mihawk maybe he might finally talk about it or maybe its better as art if it remains unsaid idk?

[@RoronoaZoro54918]

but garp said my son became a revolutionary. In think it was in the chapter where we saw battleship bag. I don't think he would care that much if he was not his son

[@raizo2370]

So, if in theory Dragon is not Garp's son and he had a daughter... Then Crocodile is Garps' daughter!

[@GideonWells]

The Garp never saying Dragon is his son is no longer true as of the Aokiji flashback. Assuming that wasn’t a liberty of translation. Garp has now, once, called Dragon his son. Admittedly, it’s a real blink and miss it moment with everything else going on in that chapter.

[@kingamc15]

Garp actually called Dragon his son during the fight with Kuzan

[@freshsebs74]

Down D. Stairs actually made me LOL This guy is funny

[@ssp242]

"Down D. Stairs" and I lost it 🤣 Well done!

[@reydelninja]

Down D. Stairs killed me 😂😂

[@Rails0512]

The whole Down D Stairs thing always bothered me because I fully don't believe that it was ACTUAL stairs that she died from, that it was suicide. Because falling down the stairs in Japanese culture is often a metaphor for suicide.

[@javi4591]

11:13 didn't Garp specifically say (rant out to Kuzan) that his son turned into a revolutionary during one of the latest chapters named: Battleship bags

[@THEBOREDGUY249]

The three headed judge from enies lobby might be foreshadowing for blackbeard

[@galatic-wyvern2993]

7:30 It feels like the reason Law was let out of prison by drake was because her wanted law to take down Kaido. the whole mystery of it wasn't why, but WHY, or rather, was he a traitor to kaido. and we find out, yes, he was.
