Giants

After hearing about Kuma and his dad being a new race called Buccaneers I was instantly thinking about Kaido and what race he could be and then I figured it out. Kaido is a Buccaneer but instead of being a descendant of normal giants Kaido is a descendant of Ancient Giants (Don't ask me how that would work) which would explain his size strength and Ancient Giant horns on his head.

It was stated that Totto Land had every race in the world except for 3.

We now know that both Kuma and King are the last members of their individual races, and that no giants live in Totto Land.

Which means that the 3 missing races are Giants, Lunarians, and Buccaneers.

Which means, most likely, Oni isn’t an actual race, and Kaido’s just really big and strong for no reason, just like some other humans, or that it’s just a variant of human, like Ancient Giants and Giants

Give me your best race/species fusion to create the ultimate warrior. You can only mix two races from the One Piece world. Mine is half Giant, half Lunarian.

This is my theory, inspired by this Reddit.

What do you think about it?

The purpose of the World Government is to prevent the use of Ancient Weapons. This is because they can control the “Army of Giants”, huge and powerful giants (Humanoids and not), with the ability to destroy the (emerged surface of the) planet, literally.

Before and during the Void Century this Army was used negatively (E.g. the war between the Great Kingdom and the future World Government).

Originally, there were Imu and Nika (A Giant), the Moon and the Sun. To stop the use of the Giants, the two they decided to trap (and maybe control by letting out on will) the Army of Giants, creating the Florian Triangle by putting the Three Great Gates in the sea.

The creation of these structure, however, took the life of Nika, whose body/straw hat is now kept in Mary Geoise’s Chamber of Hibernation. On the contrary, however, Imu probably thanks to this event has managed to have eternal life.

The prophecy of the “will of the D.” (D of Dawn) describes when Imu and Nika will finally get back together, opening the Big Three Gates. The day of the meeting will be during an Eclipse (Moon and Sun), followed by a Dawn. This date can be predicted thanks to astronomy, so it is easily deduced by a scholar, or by Roger (who knew he had arrived too soon at One Piece).

The bearer of Nika’s will to free the Giants is called “Joy Boy”. The will of the Giant was always to bring happiness (Joy) and freedom to the world by using the Army of Giants to destroy the Red Line and create a single great sea (One Piece) where all organisms can live and feast together. This will, however, is opposed by Imu, who instead (Living since the Void Century) knows what the Weapon of the Giants can do and wants to suppress its liberation at all costs, preventing anyone from knowing about it (Nika HAD to trap the Army to prevent others from using it negatively, but he wanted to do his will).

The real enemy will be Blackbeard, not Imu or the World Government. Luffy (Joy Boy is the “heiress of Nika’s will to bring happiness and freedom to the world with the Army of Giants”) will meet Imu. The gates will open, and finally the Army will be free. To command it there will be the three Ancient Weapons (Poseidon - Shirahoshi / Pluto - Momonosuke / Uranus - ?).

So, when the Army is free, there will be two ways to use it: destroy the Red Line to unite the world or control the world by force. Luffy will want to achieve the first goal. Blackbeard will want to reach the second.

I think blackbeard ate the mythical wendigo devil fruit.As the mythology of the wendigo strongly draws insperation from werewolf mythology.I also think that's the reason for why blackbeard feelt such an immense pain when ace burned him alive.As wendigos only weakness would be that of the element of fire.Also i think this would tie in strongly with the elbaf arc because the wendigo is said to be a wolf or deer that grows in proportion to the number of people that it eats.It's also very similar to that of the wolf of fenrir within norse mythology.As the wolf known as fenrir within norse mythology also grows in size in proportion to the number of people that it has consumed.The devil fruits ability would also allow him to eat eight devil fruits.Symbolizing the eight moons of the one piece world.Wendigo's are also said to be evil spirits that can strongly relate to that of demons or devils

One of Usopp's dreams is to visit the home of the Giants, Elbaf, and finally become a "brave warrior of the sea". If the next island the Straw Hats go to is Elbaf, then the next arc might be a point of significant character development for Usopp and we might actually see him be the first crew member to achieve his dream. What do you guys think?

Now we know the names to 9 of the 10 Numbers and seen what they look like, which is of course inspired by Where the Wild Things Are, thus that leaves the sixth Number so just for fun until it makes its proper appearance in the manga let’s guess what the name of this sixth Number could be as well what it could possibly looks like.

If you guys think Oars gets stomped add Lil Oars Jr

If you think team DBH gets stomped add Oimo and Kashii
