We don't know if smoker was born in east blue he may just have been stationed there.Also Beckman was the smartest man introduced in east blue, so no clue if he was born there either.Same goes for Sanji and Ace as far as origins and streangth are concerned.So that only leaves us with the Ds and the strawhats which kinda shatters this theory.

What i thought however is that we know Saul wasn't born in Elbaf.What if he too was born in East Blue and all the Ds roots are there.What would that tell us about the location of the ancient kingdom? Wild idea but food for thought.
