The Wano Arc has revealed important information about the Rocks Pirates. The Rocks Pirates were a legendary and powerful pirate crew that sailed the seas until their defeat 38 years before the current storyline. They were led by Rocks D. Xebec and considered to be the most dangerous and strongest pirate crew of their time. Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom and Shiki were once […] More
I have a theory about how Roronoa Zoro got his name as “Zoro”. First, I think Zoro belongs to the fabled Shimotsuki Clan, as this was clear from his home village name and his birth month November (which is called Shimotsuki in Japanese). It’s highly likely that Zoro’s father was Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the daimyo of […] More
With the recent revelations of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, there’s been a lot of discussion around Luffy and the “chosen one” trope. That’s fair, but it’s worth remembering that in One Piece, strong devil fruits aren’t what make people strong. Of course having a powerful devil fruit is a major strength. When […] More
It’s no secret that the Blackbeard Pirates are on a mission to gather devil fruits, thus why Burgess was even on Dressrosa in the first place – in order to gain the Mera Mera no Mi. Blackbeard himself has shown knowledge of how to steal a devil fruit when he did the unthinkable and murdered […] More
As of now Roger has the highest number of “confirmed” Conqueror’s Haki users in his crew: Gol D. Roger himself, Silvers Rayleigh, Kozuki Oden and Shanks. Rocks D. Xebec is close second with 3 “confirmed” Conqueror’s Haki users in his crew: Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard. Anyway it’s almost guaranteed that Shiki the Lion and […] More
The evidence I will provide is purely speculative and hypothetical in relation to the One Piece story. Since the start of the series, a question that may have sat in the back of our minds would be who was Luffy’s predecessor to the devil fruit Gomu Gomu No Mi? The solution I have found to […] More
During the One Piece timeskip, Makino had a child. She was seen in Foosha Village holding her baby while the citizens rejoiced about Luffy’s return. The most famous theory out there is that the child is Shanks’ and Makino’s son mainly because Oda answered someone’s question in the SBS by saying that Makino’s child is […] More
Rocks D. Xebec was said to be so formidable that it took Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp fighting together to defeat him. The man was a monster. But in my opinion, what made him even more dangerous was the knowledge he possessed. Taboo subjects of the world Rocks was said to have dabbled […] More
Kaido likely knew Ace was Roger’s son, and he was a D, and Kaido would have definitely gotten the message that Ace wanted to take him down a free Wano. Kaido said Luffy couldn’t be Joy Boy either, and I seemed like he was just talking about himself, but what if he meant Ace. So […] More
So how does Luffy’s devil fruit bring the series back to its roots when it actually changes everything about Luffy’s powers? I’d like people to really go back and remember what the East Blue saga was like without the baggage of everything from the Grand Line onwards. The series was actually kind of grounded. Well, […] More
The confirmation that Zoan devil fruits have a mind of their own was even bigger news than the true nature of Luffy’s devil fruit. So far the only objects imbedded with devil fruits were Zoan fruits. Never Paramecia or even Logia fruits. And that makes complete sense now. A person eating a Zoan might be […] More
This has obviously been discussed before but it got way more likely after Chapter 1054. Shanks decides not to reunite with Luffy just yet, but instead decides to go after Bartolomeo, who has been ravaging their territory. First, it would be pretty disappointing if their meeting happened with Shanks just strolling by after Luffy accomplishes something […] More
