Question to the ancient weapons
Hey, yet another philosophical questen from me. Since the ancient weapons which are mentioned on the ponyglyphs are named after the old gods of, for what we know, Greece and Rome, isn't it possible that the weapons' names indicates something about their abilities?

Pluton is said to be a warship, which could destroy whole islands at the time. The god Pluto was simular to the god Hades, Pluto was the god of death or the kingdom of death if you want. These two things could be seen as similar, since the weapon causes so much destruction in one blow.

If this is the case, then the unknown weapon posidon, which we'll probably get to know a whole lot better later, would have something to do with water, since the greek gos Posidon ruled the oceans. IT could be another terrifying ship, that would make sence, but I guess you never know in the One Piece world, where everything is possible.

Lille-Hime

There is definitely a Greek/Roman god connection. It's difficult for me to think of what Poseidon would be. Poseidon was the god of the sea, known to cause earthquakes, shipwrecks, storms, etc. The best thing I could think of to represent that would be the gura-gura no mi. So Whitebeard's an ancient weapon... Probably not, I'm guessing that it's something similar to Pluton, huge and destructive. I think it might have something to do with storms or earthquakes. Who knows, it could just be another huge ship, though I doubt it.--DancePowderer 03:14, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * The logic on WB doesn't make sense. Pluton we get the hint of being a ship since it was put in the hands of shipwights and all. DFs and the weapons aren't connected, at least for now. One-Winged Hawk 08:38, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Chopper's professions
I know that Chopper is the doctor of the crew, but here's what I wonder?
 * Would he have a fetish for pregnant women or pregnant animals? (not that there would be any evidence of it)
 * How would Chopper feel about caring for cats? (Domestic to start off easy)

The first question was on lust while the second was on motherly love. Rainbowman 8 July 2008


 * God... Don't even go there! --One-Winged Hawk 22:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Moved to forum... Actaully the stupid thing is this was answered in TB; Chopper has no intereast in a human female. One-Winged Hawk 13:42, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Hiatus
Does anybody know why the manga keeps going on hiatus? Is Oda okay?
 * I hope this answers your question. Basically X-mas and May time, expect a break for holiday reasons in Japan. If the breaks not then, Oda's doing research. There was a few cases when Oda was ill over the years and no OP was done (see Grand Line Times) and once he was just late getting the chapter done in time for its weekly release. His research breaks have been more frequent, due to his busy life. His movie, recent family addition and manga are all bidding for his time this year. One-Winged Hawk 16:26, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Adam Tree
Yo guys Was the Tree of ohara an adam tree? The tree Franky built Thousand sunny out of?

New user: Probably. We really don't know of any other type of tree that large. Yeah, it's supposed to withstand any sort of military bombardment, but against the fire of a buster call, even an adam tree may fall.

Duval
Who could Duval be?

Place your theory here and why you think that person is; please DO NOT disown someones thoughts about this everyone diserves their opinion:


 * Don Krieg - maybe, only about 10% sure but still all the armor
 * I serieusly doubt it being Don Krieg, considering how far he gotten in the Grand Line last time. Kraken 09:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Arlong - He's a fishman and they're near his home island and he could be trying to hide his broken nose, but i can't explain kidnapping Hatchi
 * Ax-Hand Morgan (added by Kraken 09:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)) - They are both musculair, Luffy and Zoro destroyed his life as a marine, he wears an iron mask and he escaped from Garp which means he probably still is out there free drifting in the ocean.

please let it be someone unknown. ALSO-SINCE WHEN do we have this place?

and WHEN were you PLANING on telling me?

User:New Babylon

It's always been here. anyone can tell you that, but i think that it is a good possibility we don't know who he is 68.47.16.132 23:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm so sick of this by now. Can't everyone wait a few chapters until we get him revealled? Everywhere I go this is all I see... One-Winged Hawk 07:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

can't be morgan cause Duval has two hands and arlong is in jail

I have NO clue of who it is...but it's driving me crazy! The fact that he knows one of the Straw Hats somehow...I just can't figure out who it is! My first thought was Arlong, but that wouldn't explain why he kidnapped Hachi and why he doesn't have webbed hands. My second guess was Don Krieg, but how could he make it this far in the Grand Line after losing his entire fleet? So maybe it is just some new guy...who knows? We'll just have to wait a few chapters to find out... User:Skeleton_Brook

Shichibukai and Yonkou final members
I'm just bored at work and i am a huge fan of onepiece, unfortunately I can only see the anime on youtube.com, and the chapters I can only read what's happening once someone updates the story arcs page. I believe we are all wandering a lot of things, the abilities of the other 2 admirals and of course Sengoku's strength. Who the hell is the 7th Shichibukai and the 4th Yonkou? I want to know Mihawk's bounty as well as Shanks and Whitebeard. But the most intriguing thing I found about one piece world is what happened with the Void Century and how did the World Government defeated them if they had such advance technology as Poneglyphs and ancient weapons?

I am not trying to get speculations on this but I think it is great that there are so many questions marks about One Piece to keep you posted and waiting for Oda's next chapter to see what will happen next. I believe this is one of the greatest manga ever.190.245.83.25 17:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

~You'd have to wait a few more years to know all those answers :) But keep thinking. It's what keeps the wait worth waiting.

10th member?
Who do you think will be the 10th member of the Straw Hats?

Ok, it WAS a while ago, but Luffy did say that he would like to have a crew of 10. Currently, he has nine (if you count Luffy himself that is). So who do you think will be crew member number 10? And if so, what should be his occupation?

-My own imput: It won't be Hancock. Sorry everybody, but I just can't see her giving up her status as Shichibukai, leave her sisters behind, and let her entire island to be destroyed by the Marines. Besides, do you really think Oda will let a Shichibukai join the crew? They'd be too overpowered. Of course they'll be friends, and they'll treat her as a nakama, but she doesn't have to join.

Sorry, but it won't be Hatchi either. I really can't see him of any use. Sort of like the Sky Island people everybody was talking about a while ago. If they can't fulfill any role, they won't join. (Similar to how Vivi can't join; letting her join would not add anything to the plot)

Don't forget, Brook was already added in the Red Line Saga. At this point in the story, it's unlikely two people will be added in the same saga. My guess is somebody in the new world. He/she will probably fill the role of an assassin, spy, poisoner, etc. The only job the Straw Hats need is somebody with stealth (Robin doesn't do so much because of her fame).

I think that Mr. 2 Bon Kurei will be the next member of the crew, on accounct of all that he is doing in this arc.

Usopp is shown holding a friut in chapter 524, is that a devil fruit?

No, i do not think that it is a devil fruit GlDemo 22:12, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

For me, I'd say it COULD (key word there) be Hancock, despite being an Empress of an entire island of amazon-like warriors and being kinda too strong to be part of the crew, as well as not really giving two shits about anyone else other than Luffy, although that could change in due time (hell, if she was able to turn from a vicious, cold-hearted Empress to a frikkin' school girl, then I'm expecting everything at this point), mainly because, other than her being one of my favorites, that whole 'love sickness' thing'll lead to her death if she doesn't "pursue her desire to be with Luffy" (something along those lines). Then there's Ace; that is, IF Whitebeard dies, if he "passes the torch of leadership" to somebody else, or if he disbands his crew, but I doubt it. Mr. 2 could join too, if he's still alive, that is, and he could be a good spy for 'em.

Perona cause she pretty much has nowhere else left to go, plus her interactions with the other Straw Hats would be hilarious to watch. Hell, I'm even considering Buggy to join, since his relationship with Luffy nowadays is pretty damn reminiscent to the one he once had with Shanks, but like Ace, I don't fully expect him to join. Vivi could become a permanent member too, if something bad happens to Arabasta, that is, or if the crisis going on so far will eventually lead her to join up with the Straw hats again, whatever the reason may be, but I still don't think we'll ever see her again. That's all I can think of, at any rate. Krone8 06:20, November 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I could say..... this is NOT a forum. Coldhandzz 08:45, November 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * So I moved the discussion to our forum. One-Winged Hawk 10:51, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

I doubt it will be a Shichibukai. I think if we want to make any good guesses we need to see who fills what roles, and what roles are unfulfilled. -Captain: Luffy -First mate: Zoro -Cook: Sanji -Doctor: Chopper -Shipwright: Franky -Musician: Brook -Navigator: Nami -Archaeologist: Robin -Sniper: Usopp what are some other positions that can be filled? I doubt Oda will add more members just to add more members. Mr. 2 would have been a good choice, as he could have been the crew's "infiltrator" or "spy", but we don't know what his fate is...yet. JasonRyu 9:43 (GMT-5), November 17, 2009


 * Well all the basics are filled out... Helmsman, cabin boy... I forget the last one. Those are the only three roles left for a normal ships. Most think Fishman island will produce something since there are many Devil Fruit users now on the ship. One-Winged Hawk 00:17, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

unknown saad: ...The new member could also be a specialised warrior like zorro is so he doesnt has to be an infiltrator or spy xD I also dont think that we know the new member already because until now every new nakama was not known before they joined so I think it is hancock because they met a little while ago or somebody we dont know


 * Well its hard to understand by "known". Zoro was famous throughtout the East Blue. Robin had been a famous criminal on he run so to speak for 20 years. Brook had a bounty in life so was "known". One-Winged Hawk 17:10, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'd say Hancock, but so far she's missing something crucial that every Strawhat crewmember has...a dream. Unless marrying Luffy becomes her dream, I can't think of anything. (Random Commenter)

I believe hanckock could be one but then sanji wouln't cook at all...mr 2 is a very good choice ...ace is an option if only whitebeard dies and marco takes over(i also think jinbei will join whitebeard's crew)...i really like jozu but its not an option...coby is not an option either...rayleigh is tired...buggy maybe but he has a crew...mr3 would be a good one..mr1 too..crocodile???he's a criminal for god's sake......that'a all


 * Crocodile's dream is the same as Luffy's, it will not work well. Mr.1 is too loyal to croc, Mr.2 is possibly dead, Hancock has no dream. Ace and Mr.3 are likely. Personally, I think Ace will join the crew after Whitebeard's death and Mr.3 will join Buggy's crew. However, it's a good idea to let any of the former BW agents join Luffy. I would love to his and Robin's reaction when they meet again... as Straw Hats Pirates! El Chupacabra 15:10, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

I would like "Keimi" to be the 10th member for the straw hat pirates. She is the prefect "scout" at sea, since mermaid are the fastest species on sea, and she can communicate with the fishes, (chopper can only communicate at land animals). I believe the author would never put a very powerful people in the crew, like a Shichibukai. She would be a great support for the crew, specially having four of them a devil fruit user. She can easily save them if they fall into the sea.


 * Keimi won't be the 10th member. If they do add another member, it will be before they go to the new world, so it makes sense they'll add another at mermaid isle.
 * The last member should be a strategist. As far as i've seen, during any of the battles their only real stratergy has been go in guns blazing. They need a proper one, like sengoku or shiki are. Granted the crew isn't large enough to need one, and robin seems the best candidate to be one, but i haven't seen her take charge in any of her appearances. 173.206.229.39 20:10, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * A person of the sea would be handy with the number of DF users they have. Still at this point I'm indifferent on a crew member, I want the old crew back first! T_T One-Winged Hawk 22:35, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

e.g. Jimbei ,,Knight of the sea"


 * After the death of Ace I've the feeling that the old crew will never re-unite completely. El Chupacabra 14:52, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * They won't be needing a new member to be their strategist, as you said their crew is small. They almost always conduct strategical meeting, like at Skypiea (ep.165). As for strategist, I believe Sanji proves himself several times. At Arabasta Arc (ep.108), he planned a way to rescue the crew inside Rain Base, he lure Crocodile out, then destroy the bridge, preventing Crocodile to return. At Skipiea Arc (ep.185) before facing Enel at Maxim, he destroy the interior mechanism of the ark in hope of stoping it from flying (although Enel fixed it again). and at Enies Lobby Arc (ep.311) he closed the Gate of Justice, causing trouble for the Marine's Battleships and allowing them to escape. Sanji almost always thinks and plan ahead before fighting head on, than the rest of the crew. And lastly the real reason that they don't need a strategist is because of Luffy. At Enies Lobby Arc (ep.264) the crew had a meeting inside Roketman before breaking in and ALL agreed that the Straw Hats will wait for 5 mins before bashing in, while the rest clears the way for them. But Luffy, even after agreeing jump inside Enies Lobby and started breaking in by himself. Thus with Luffy around all strategies are useless! ... I still want a mermaid for their crew, if not Keimi, aside for being the fastest in the sea, there are too many boys in the crew.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally think it's probably gonna be Perona. Considering how she bandaged Zoro up after he got sent flying and the fact that she likes cute things (i.e. Chopper), she might end up joining as the crew nurse. But who knows?--KnightoftheSea 05:27, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

--> Well, i agree with the idea that it is very hard to imagine for the author to place a shichibukai as the 10th member, for they will be overpowered. As for the occupations suggested by others... hmm: for a spy, Robin's ability would suffice, however someone suggested that infiltration aint her thing because of her fame, but we all knew about that they have a person fit for this: the person who got pissed off at his WANTED POSTER - Sanji. His infiltration and stealth skills were shown (as said by someone): Rescue of the Strawhat pirates from Crocodile (when they were caged with Smoker), Wreaking of havor in the maxim's engine, Attempt to rescue Robin in the Sea Train, and the closure of the gates to allow them to escape from the buster call. Oh, another candidate for a spy: Usopp, because his identity is not revealed... although i doubt he'll agree (he's a coward... i dont think he'd enjoy lurking inside then enemy's territory). As for the assassin, i dont think such a position is needed, because the crew does not really like killing -- just beating them up. Luffy also stated that he doesnt want to conquer anything (when he talked with Rayleigh), that what he only wishes for is freedom. In my opinion, this statement shows his pure intentions in a fun adventure, and that they would only mess with, though they try to avoid trouble as much as possible, people who try to hurt them (ex: Marines), those who hurts those that they want to protect (ex: Vivi, the Senryuu), and those that prohibits them from acheiving their goal (Enelu, to claim and sound the giant belfry). Besides, if you still think they need an assassin, Robin had already stated that assassination is her specialty (with a smile) ^^
 * hello everyone! ^^

--> Well i suggest a mermaid... in my opinion, either Caimie (i dunno how to spell it correct, well just in case, the mermaid they saved from the hands of the TenRyuubito) or the mermaid princess because, like someone said, she'll become a great asset being the "scout" of the team. Belonging the fastest species in the sea, she would also be able to assist the "hammers" in case they fell into the sea. Furthermore, she could ask the assistance of sea creatures for directions and stuff (and for food supply for Luffy, LOL). I was thinking it might be Caimie, but as of now, she lacks the common characteristics of the current crew: (a dark past, a person whom they idolize, a reason to travel, etc), so i'm thinking someone like a mermaid princess would also fit... though i cant really say anything as of now... its not lyk everything about caimie had already been revealed, and since i have no idea about the mermaid princess, i cant really support, just a hunch.

--> What i know is that a mermaid would be a great asset to the team, and that it would fit their adventure-loving crew full of strange people.

--> As for Hancock, i think she shares common characteristics (i dunno about if she has a person she idolize), but like what i said, they would be overpowered. Though i really like her to join the crew... she's weird in the first place (narcissist... forgive my spelling). I wont doubt if she will leave her sisters for luffy: 1. She loves luffy, 2. It might be the way for her to survive the virus (like what nyon-baa did - leaving the island), and 3. Her sisters are strong. Nyon baa, their former leader is also there... But i think it is all right even if she wont join... If Luffy became the Pirate King, i think the heroine should be none other than the most beautiful woman of the sea - Hancock Queen of Kuja Pirates. ^_^ *** sLasHeR12


 * I agree with the people above who noted that:
 * I agree with the people above who noted that:


 * 1) The Straw Hats already have several capable strategists. Sanji has proven himself in several tight situations. Usopp was actually winning the duel with Luffy for a short time, despite the massive gap between their respective strengths, because of his strategical fighting. All the other crew members are also quite insightful and intelligent (and, in Luffy's case, instinctive).


 * 2) Strategy is irrelevant with Luffy as captain anyways.


 * A mermaid or a fishman would be VERY helpful...I always wondered what would have happened at Enies Lobby if Kokoro hadn't turned out to be a mermaid. However, personally I don't think it will be either Hacchi or Keimi. Keimi is very dedicated to Hacchi, and her dream has already been fulfilled: she got to ride the ferris wheel at Shabaody Park. Hacchi too is living out what I assume to be his dream of owning a takoyaki stand, and I can't see him giving that up to go be a pirate again. Jimbei I think is a possibility. The last chapter proved his determination to protect Luffy, which is even stronger now that Ace is gone. I don't think Whitebeard will survive Marineford, especially since he doesn't intend to anyways, and while Jimbei is very close to the crew members, Whitebeard was his primary reason for staying with the Whitebeard Pirates.


 * There is also the case of what Luffy meant by "10 crew members." It always seemed to me that he meant to recruit 10 people besides himself. If this is the case, then I still don't see both Hacchi and Keimi joining up.


 * I doubt that Boa Hancock will join. She has her own pirate crew to look after, not to mention all of Amazon Lily. Even if she turns out to be willing to leave them to follow Luffy, somehow I think he'd advise her to stay with them. I think she'll survive. Anyhow, I also can't see her being very good for Sanji's sanity, or her developing the bond shared by all the Straw Hats.


 * If not a mermaid or fishman (or on top of one), I would also like to see a scout who can fly reconnaisance. With four down (Pell, Marco, Lafitte, and Shiki), there's still the matter of the fifth Devil Fruit that allows flight. Or perhaps a pet could fill that role, since Chopper doesn't seem to like his status as one. Since it's unknown if Dragon himself or someone else has already eaten it, ever since reading about Ryuuma and seeing Marco's Zoan abilities I've been entertaining the idea of a Mythical Zoan Dragon Devil Fruit (probably a little too conspicuous for recon though). S/he would probably have been the gem in the crown of the Tenryuubito before escaping slavery, though it's kind of a rip off of Hancock's past. A Mantra user would also be fantastic for this role.


 * The apparent alliance/truce between Zoro and Perona also got me thinking for a little bit that maybe each of the separated Straw Hats will have to gather their own little crews in order to sail back and reunite - several of the Straw Hats (coughZOROcough) would at least need a temporary navigator. Luffy would still be captain, but his crew would be structured more like Whitebeard's crew, with division commanders. Since each member already holds a specialized position, all the division commanders would still sail on the Thousand Sunny. It's a long shot, but who knows? Raikia 09:39, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * A Fishman or mermaid could be very useful as a diver. Jinbei seems to be the most plausible candidate. The remaining flying Devil fruit user would be a very valuable member. He could do recon missions and air raids. The idea of Straw Hats raising their own crews and becoming division commanders sounds interesting. El Chupacabra 14:55, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think I raised the "flying fruits" problem... 5 as in literally 5 fruits or 5 as in 5 types (bird, bat, insect, dinosaur, mythical, thats 5 types). I also vaguely remember someone reporting Oda once said the crew will never have a flying type. But I think it may have been something you'd put on the mythbusters so don't take my word for it. I read a lot of crap on forums. Hence why I've added a lot of stuff to Mythbusters since it started. One-Winged Hawk 02:20, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Honestly I think Perona will join shes not over powered has no where else to go is with zoro would be useful to the crew has plenty of backstory potential I could see her joining (aba1)

FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how is usopp gonna return to the crew when he becomes very fat he is really stupid

i think him being fat is something that trying to get rid of will mkae him stronger. HEY! What if he learns LIFE RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I beleave that the 10th strawhat will be Boa Hancock. The reason that i think this is because, what if while Boa is gone Amazon lilly is destroyed because they suspected her being an accomplice of luffy at impel down, and if so she would have no where else to go, leaving her to join the crew without amazon lilly or her shikibukai status. TA-DA!!!

Why the Land of Birds?
After the encounter in the Shabondy Archipelago, Kuma sent Chopper to the avian-ruled Island of Torino Kingdom. But for what purpose? Some of the other Straw Hats were sent to locations that seem to favor their abilities (i.e. Nami to Weatheria, and Franky to Karakuri), though others were seem to have been sent to places that have no connection to them whatsoever (i.e. Robin to Tequila Wolf), and at least one, was sent to their own personal hellish prison (Sanji). Which of the three categories did Chopper fall into?


 * There's always the possibility that Kuma sent Chopper there in the hopes that he can become an "awakened" Zoan

Kuma may not have sent everyone to a place you would be best off in maybe so that they can work on there weaknesses and overcome them

Franky's feul
Whoever wanted a discussion page on franky has got their wish. There is something I'd like to discuss on Franky, namely: We all know that cola is Franky's main feul source and that if he had a different feul source such as vegetable juice or tea there would be different results. So I ask, What would happen if Franky were given these feul sources:


 * Beer
 * Wine
 * Plain Water
 * Root Beer
 * Sasparilla
 * Natural Fruit Juice
 * Artificial Fruit Juice of different colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, etc.)
 * Milk

Nico Robin's powers
if she can make parts of her body blossom from everywhere, like hands and eyes, Robin she make full copies of herself blossom somewhere else? 189.27.227.60 22:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, Oda stated in the SBS that she can grow any part of her body, so I think that she should be able to "clone" herself. The reason why she hasn't done this until now is most likely modesty, because since she is not able to make her clothes blossom these copies would be fully naked. I have no idea whether these copies would be able to move, but it would be a good question for Oda-sensei, so if you really want to know the answer, ask him in the SBS.

Ability
On a few forums there's a theory about Devil Fruits that fruits that grow in a bunch (example: Ushi Ushi no Mi that Kaku ate - the banana ) can hold the same ability. Most people agree to this. (Interesting fact: fruits from one tree can posses different DNA cause they're polinated from different polems, exceptions are bunch fruits that grow from a single bloom)

You can remember as an example the Spike Spike Fruit from Ms Double Finger and Boo Jack from movie 2 or Neko Neko Fruit from Rob Lucci and the cheetah from Foxy's Crew. I suppose same fruits with defferent verion could come from the same tree but different polem)

So it's possible that Akainu could have something firey. Yet knowing Oda, and he's tallent to mix the obvious and the unexpected, anythings possible.

(Though I take dibs on Lava, made a FF with a Lava-girls but unfortunetly unofficial >^^'<)

Luffy's Adventure in the Great Gaol: Rising of the Highest Bounty Ever when he gets out with his brother?
I personally believe that WHEN he got out, his bounty will surpass of both Eustass's and Doflamingo's bounties, becoming the most wanted pirate of the world. What do you think? Absurd or logical? Chibbo Matto A.F.G.S. 19:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Not a forum but a little note - So far Luffy's been hidden by Buggy whenever someone's seen him. They know SOMEONE is with Buggy but who? One-Winged Hawk 21:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

You know Luffy and Buggy. Eventually they will show their faces on purpose or by accident. Did you forget the Den Den Mushi cams around the gaol and Buggy is so... Buggy? And another observation: How he will carry Ace into the ventilation pipes? When anyone see Luffy carrying one of the well known prisioners of deeper levels of the great prison, this person or more than one will make a louder ruckus, making obvious who is the savior of the Fire Fist. Oh, and the last and important note: when he get out, he will be surrounded by more Marines batleships than in the Buster Call of Enies Lobby! How is he going to escape without destroying a large number of them? And perhaps he will gain a little help of Boa Hancock and Ace (in spite of being prisioner for being more than a day in the gaol, I think he will be able to burn down a quite high number of battleships) to escape. That why I tell you: Luffy will get the highest bounty ever to a living pirate not affiliated with the Shichibukai! Anyone against this thought? Chibbo Matto A.F.G.S 21:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Questions about Red Line and the geography of One Piece
Hi there, I am having a hard time, getting the geography of the One Piece world right. For the first, the Red Line, is that some kind of mountain range there surrounds the world and divide the ocean? - Or is it some kind of continent where people live, can u live there? ...

Can someone please give me a lesson in the geography? Or a good link that explains it deeper. Wisker 21:07,, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe it would help if you read this article that talks about the geography of the Grand Line, maybe it would clear some of the confusion. Check out also the references to the chapters that the info came from to see if you can find anything more to it.

Theory about Dragon/Yonkou
Here's my theory on Dragon. I think his devil fruit power is to control the weather. I was just thinking about something. I saw Edward Newgate's page. It said he resembled Poseidon. Then I started thinking. If Edward is like Poseidon, Dragon could be like Zeus. Dragon probably can control the clouds and winds too. And if Dragon is like Zeus, he's probably twice as strong as Edward Newgate. If my theory is true, that means that someone is going to show up and he can control the dead. Maybe it will be a Yonkou.

 * Doesn't Moria's fruit somehow cover this topic? He's able to control the dead by turning them into zombies. El Chupacabra 17:25, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Moria only controls shadows he just happens to put them in dead bodys the people he takes shadows from are still alive ( as long as they stay outta the sun) so he really isnt controling the dead Most probably Dragon is using dragon zoan type devil fruit (much like Marco)

Wasn't Hades the "god" of the underworld in Greek mythology, and thus is the one more likely to control the dead? Either way, I'd rather Dragon's mystery be kept a mystery for now, at least until a few more arcs. Aliandro Operator 04:57, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

R.I.P. Gol/Portgas family: Gol D. Roger, Portgas D. Rouge, and Gol/Portgas D. Ace. Ace'll be able to meet his parents in whatever afterlife the One Piece World has. NANLIT 07:50, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

RIP Ace. It's a shame another D family dies with him, let alone the Gol family. I'd want to see if he really could have lived up to his father's reputation, and then we'd have an idea of how strong roger really was. The only thing that would make this right is luffy going beserk and killing off akainu. --1201 01:51, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

RIP Ace. Everybody will miss youAzNSammanX26 04:26, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'll miss you ace :'( - Aba1

It hurts a lot to think that Ace was destined from birth to die because of his lineage, almost condemned by the name his mother gave him and the experiences and outlook he'd have on life as a result of being the son of his father. His death was jarring enough to shake the world - both his, and ours. No one should have to live thinking his own existence is a sin, and I wish that somehow, someone could have opened his eyes, like with Robin. He died smiling, but he shouldn't have thought that he had to thank his family for their love in the first place. Rest in peace, Ace - the world as we know it won't ever be the same.

 * Its called the "Eugenics" in the real world, we know it today via predigrees. It would essentially prevent some parties from marrying, humans from time to time, but also is what predigree dog breeders use. Weed out the unwanted bloodlines, keep the wanted, as a son of a criminal, Ace was pretty much subject to this kind of theory. One-Winged Hawk 17:25, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Incidently, The most famous case of Eugenics is the Naxis and their "blonde hair, blue eyes" love. One-Winged Hawk 17:28, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

I was shocked and upset all day when I loaded one manga and read this chapter. The only thing that my brain will LET me believe is that he will come back.. but if not i had to make this RIP Ace... Infrared_Inferno 17:08, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

RIP Ace,You will be missed and Akainu will be hated.

Sting! TenRyuoh! 20:57, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

My theory about Ace
my theory is that I think that if a devil fruit user dies, the person would turn into a tree (kinda like the enka singer in episode 3 of "Hakaba Kitaro") and the said tree would grow another devil fruit based on the one the person ate while alive.

Since no devil fruit users were ever seen killed before Ace I assumed that. Since Ace died now I'm expecting him to turn into a tree that grows ANOTHER Mera Mera no mi. And that explains that there are no two same types of devil fruit existing at the same time.

 * This is more for our forum.
 * I should put that on mythbusters, since thats been around AP before... But thats a silly theory. If it was true, we'd see it by now. One-Winged Hawk 08:48, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think that Ace's dead body will turn into a tree. I think in order to get a new Mera Mera no mi it will be neccesary to bury him and plant a tree on the grave. The appearance of the fruit will depend on the tree. E.g. if they'll plant banana tree the will fruit wil look like a banana. El Chupacabra 14:46, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * While there being a "Devil Fruit Tree" that produces these Devil Fruits is likely, there are however can be multiple questions in regards to this theory. Two that I can think of are as follows.


 * Is there multiple Devil Fruit trees of different types or is there just one that produces different types of fruits?
 * When a user no longer exists, does his Devil Fruit sprout back on the original tree or does a new tree sprout up?


 * A tree would be a sound theory however without Vegapunk to help explain this more properly, we're just guessing like Jyabura.Mugiwara Franky 16:44, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

A tree or plant could be possible. It could sprout and use the dead body for nutrients, thus taking in Ace's Mera Mera no Mi powers and creating a new fruit. And if this theory is true, it brings up something else...how many Devil fruit are simply laying at the bottom of the ocean because their user sank? - Wolfy4226 17:52, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

that would explain where teach got the fruit from, it wasn't edwards body it was a tree growing from him which would kinda make sence well except being able to have 2 devil fruits

Lafitte's Devil Fruit
I am aware that, with only one glimpse of it so far, this is total speculation, but does anyone have any guesses as to what Devil Fruit Lafitte could be using? Based on the shape of his wings, my first guess is Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Dove, which I also think suits his attitude fairly well. My second guess is Model: Pigeon.

On a totally different note, I see a lot of topics being redirected to another forum, to which this topic should also probably go, that I can't locate. If this discussion already exists somewhere else on OP Wiki, can someone link me? Raikia 08:51, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * For the moment, this is a temporary set up just to get us organised. When I have time I'll get this extended with tables and stuff. I'll discuss more in a few weeks when I've got the time to think about it seriously. The point of the forum though in the end is to serve a place we can discuss things without clogging up valauble discussion pages with stuff not helpful or related to the page. Just put things where you feel most appropreiate for now, a proper sort out is coming soon enough! :-D One-Winged Hawk 17:04, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Straw Hat -- Level Up!
I believe that when the time comes for the Straw Hats to be reunited, all of them will be better than before. I would like to hear your own idea on this.

As for me this is what I have in mind:
 * Luffy - he can now use Haōshoku Haki freely
 * Zoro - he will learn how to use Haki from the "Unknown Swordsman" (ch560)
 * Nami - her Clima-Tact will be upgraded by the "Wind Knot"
 * Usopp - his weapon will upgrade. After learning how to survive in Greenstone, the forest of thieves, he will become a Trap Master
 * Sanji - he will also learn how to use Haki. (I don't want to think of him becoming an okama)
 * Chopper - he will find some herb/plant in Torino Kingdom that will allow him to have his 8th transformation
 * Robin - after being freed by the Revolutionaries on Tequila Wolf island, she will gain a very valuable information from the Revolutionaries that will be very critical for their trip, like the location of Rio Poneglyph.
 * Franky - he will discover the early laboratory of Vegapunk, and he will upgrade his cyborg body
 * Brook - he will learn an ancient song from Namakura Island that has a various effect, like confusing the enemies. 112.203.210.56 05:28, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * My Opinion:


 * The fact he is using it is a level up in itself, mastery may take time.
 * Definately going to get something out the incident, but I doubt haki.
 * Doubt she'll upgrade it with the knot, but she'll learn a lot of other tricks and tips abiout the weather from there.
 * Considering he just got fat, I think it will lean more to learning to keep himself sharp since he let himself go.
 * I just think she'll meet the revolutionaries, Dragon perhaps, they seem to be her ticket right now back to Luffy.
 * Possibly, or he may find something else there.
 * Some folks put it down to using his appearance more then anything to an advantage.


 * I lot of fans want them all to upgrade out of this, but I don't think its ness. Luffy himself definately is using haki more, but at the same time he has gained many new allies and matured greatly as well as recieved a mental blow with Ace's death. His most major upgrade may simply come from the events. One-Winged Hawk 08:27, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

One of the things i liked about one piece is the fact that the story is never as linear and pridictable as some other animes like bleach for instance the characters never really simply upgrade they learn new things over time Aba1

Theory about "One Piece" and the " Will of 'D' "
After reading Chapter 576 of the manga, I got the urge to discuss this topic here since both the "One Piece" and the name 'D' was mentioned. In my opinion the "One Piece" is something that will ultimately reveal the true history of the "Void Century". As far as we know there was an "Ancient Kingdom" that was a giant and powerful kingdom that was destroyed by the Twenty Kingdoms (which later would evolve into the World Government), this give me an impression that the "Will of 'D' " or the people with the name of 'D' are the descendant of this "Ancient Kingdom". LouieXI 01:24, March 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's what most people believe and I think we are on the right track with this one! MasterDeva 02:02, March 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * It does seem their all linked somehow, at least OP and the D. seemed to be. One-Winged Hawk 23:45, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

So, One Piece = Rio Poniglyph? That kinda makes sense based on what we know. Aliandro Operator 04:53, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I updated the mythbusters page this morning (for me its 08:18), to add some of the past common speculations. Some are more poetic then others I must say. One-Winged Hawk 08:19, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for doing so. But am I to understand that because not "much" info is available on both OP and RP its considered a myth? I don't want to spark a debate here, 'cuz I know its not the place, am just trying to understand. Thanks again! Aliandro Operator 16:45, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Its the forums, we can talk about what we want here. I updated Mythbusters because you reminded me of what I didn't do in my last update of that page. ;-) One-Winged Hawk 17:37, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

-Face Palm- I just read some of the replies and I thought you only mentioned "links" to "forums", so I thought I should just be on the safe/idiot-side. Lol.

So, since this is the forum, what are your thoughts of OP being RP? I mean

The RP is the most perfect poniglyph, so to speak, of the Void Century, thus a literal one piece, and the Will of D. is known to have been passed down throughout the ages and the next up is Monkey D. Luffy who is the one most probably going to wage war against the World Government. Either him or Dragon as they both have VERY strong reasons for doing so. Not forgetting to include that Gol D. Roger could "hear the voice of all things" and "heard" what was on RP and the poniglyph on Skypeia and thus came to his and his crew's conclusion of the void century but we still don't know how he "wrote" the message and left it on the Skypeian poniglyph.

So.... Any ideas? :)


 * You don't need the spoiler alert, its a theory, not a spoiler. ;-)


 * I've heard just about every possible reason the d. now but I'll agree, like the rio it will be resolved towards the end. One-Winged Hawk 21:16, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Lol, thanks Hawk. I just really hates spoilers and any info that might "spoil" something even if it's used in a theory, so I didn't want to mess it up for others. Anyway, any ideas on how Gol D. Roger "wrote" the message on the Skypeian Poneglyph? The others am pretty sure will be revealed towards the ends of course, but I can't get this out of my mind. Aliandro Operator 04:21, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, a little structing involved, sorry. Man, don't worry we were all new to this at some point.


 * He couldn't actually speak the language, but he could hear "the voice of all things". The voice properly instructed him how to write the message. It als properly told him that it was ness. for Robin's sake (I doubt he would know it was her spercifically) to leave the message there. One-Winged Hawk 08:52, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, man. Yeah, that does make sense. A bit off-topic here, but do you think Oda will, at some point, release a key for translating the ancient language later on? Kinda of like the Rosetta Stone for poneglyphs or something like that? Aliandro Operator 04:28, March 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Doubt it, because once you release a code for something it means that from then on your restricted. Not releasing a code means no one has a clue your drawing random mumble jumble. One-Winged Hawk 07:04, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

True. But I was thinking that since someone pointed out in SBS that Oda hid some Kanji there (forgot what it was), I thought he might have actually made up some stuff that actually made sense, and thus would release the code for it 'after' its all done. Anyway, thats just a silly hope of mine xD Aliandro Operator 07:10, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * That was Pandaman, Oda hid his name in the text. It was his way to sneak in a PAndaman appearance since they were underground alone there was no way Oda could sneak him in the scene physically. One-Winged Hawk 07:55, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yep! That's the one. Thanks for that. Am heading off to ch579... Again. Damn that was epic. Aliandro Operator 04:59, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

The All-Stars of Piracy
In a nut shell, back in the old days of piracy, the top pirates of the time, that we know of, were Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard and Shiki, with newer ones like Shanks or the Straw Hats becoming powerful and famous in their own right, or retiring from the "business" altogether (Rayleigh). Now, since the old figures (Whitebeard and Roger) are dying out, who would be considered the new top-dogs of the current age? Krone8 22:47, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Eleven Supernovas is where I'd start as the Yonkou and Shichibukai both replacement. After them, focusing on individauls it would be BB, Luffy and Buggy (by his stupid fate as things are turning out now ^_^' ). One-Winged Hawk 23:43, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

You know what?
I beat the other Straw Hats end up doing stuff where they are that grabs the attention of the officals somehow causing them to believe it was all perfect timing on Luffy's part with the War. One-Winged Hawk 11:09, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

buh? - " I bet the other straw hats end up doing stuff where they grab the attention of the world goverment somehow leading the goverment to believe it was all luffy's planning to have it all happen when they were distracted with the war?"

I'm not trying to be a jerk but is that what u were trying to say i really wasnt sure? 03:13, March 21, 2010 (UTC)Aba1

Yonkou Poll
Moved from Yonkou

Mostly moved because it didn't fit in and was more speculation then anything, but it can exist here safely. One-Winged Hawk 11:15, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I really hope Oda is speaking through Shanks. I really hope this arc is coming to a close soon. Not that I haven't been enjoying it, but it's been 2 years since the Straw Hat crew was separated. SinisterSamurai 05:18, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
