Numbers

I have a theory that Fuga will regain his intelligence by becoming a Homie.

One limitation of Big Mom's power is that she can't put souls in other people.

Tama has the same limitation her power doesn't work on humans or Zoans but does on SMILE users which Fuga is. I think Big Mom has the same loop hole.

Big Mom stated that she liked the Numbers and revealed that they were failed artificial ancient giants.

I think her statement will come full circle and her power will fix Fuga. Her power can personify animals and gives them human intelligence. I think this will restore Fuga's previous personality.

I think Fuga will absorb a soul by eating a Homie.

Through Hera we were shown that homies can eat another homie and absorb their soul to become stronger.

Big Mom was shown consuming her own soul to get bigger. Which I think was a hint souls can empower a human.

Big Mom did create homies while on Onigashima so I think there will be homies to eat.

It was revealed that Hatcha is 188 years ago which brings up a lot of questions. It suggests that all the Numbers are centenarians and that Fuga is 122 based on the pattern.

I think it will be related to the frozen prisoners on Punk Hazard. It was assumed that they were dead.

But I think they are still alive and was foreshadowing by this line from Impel Down about frozen prisoners being preserved for the future. I'm guessing Fuga will reveal why the Numbers were sold to Kaido and secret behind the frozen prisoners.

I have a theory that the kidnapper is Wano is the Zero of the Numbers and will be in a way a Vegapunk satellite.

I think Zero is the silhouette Number that appeared in the Vegapunk's flashback with Clover. A new dragon was revealed which I think hints that there is a new number.

I think there is precedent, number themed groups usually have a 0 member. Kuma who Vegapunk turned into a cyborg was PX-0.

I think Zero will look like Yamato's hannya mask for a couple of reasons.

The kidnapper is primarily targeting women.

Which I think is connected to Oden's past when he kidnapped women to create his own personal harem. Sukiyaki compared him to a yokai.

I think it will follow the pattern of monster looking characters describing other characters with their own features,

Big Mom stated that the Numbers are failures. It hasn't been relayed why but a popular theory is that it's because they have low intelligence.

I think Vegapunk came up with a solution to use his own blood to augment the Numbers to pass on his intelligence. I think he tried it on Zero and thought it was a failure but was wrong. Hannya is Japanese for Prajñā which means wisdom which is why I think Zero will look like a hannya and a hint he is intelligent.

As to why he is not a giant I think he came up with a method to shrink similar to Vegapunk creating medicine for the Punk Hazard kids.

I think there has been hints. Usopp comedically asked if he was Vegapunk when he found out about the Satellites which I think is a hint there is one more.

Luffy called Vegapunk a ninja when he find out he cloned himself which I think is a hint he has a clone in Wano.

In Wano Orochi told CP-0 it would cost them Vegapunk fort the next shipment of weapons.

Orochi could grow seven heads which I think is a hint at a 7th Vegapunk.

Vegapunk's technology that allows objects to eat Devil Fruits appeared in Wano. Somehow Sukiyaki got ahold of it.

Vegapunk knew that a second dragon appeared in Wano which I think hints at that Zero was in communication with him. It doesn't really make sense for the WG to keep Vegapunk in the loop since they were going to kill him.

I think Zero created the Marys. They use cyborg animals which is a hallmark of Vegapunk. Their eye masks seem like they are inspired by Who's-Who.

It reminds of Vegapunk basing and naming the Pacifistas after Kuma. Who's-Who and Kuma have things in common. Both were victims of the World Government and idolized Nika.

I think Zero perfected Orochi's Horse Gifters. They look normal which is uncommon for the Gifters.

I think the end of Yamato's cover story will be Zero healing the victims of failed SMILE which I think the Horse Giters allude to.

Hinokizu has the last Road Poneglyph and needs to be found to find the One Piece.

My theory is that he is Squard's former captain. His epithet is Maelstrom Spider and according to rumors Hinokizu has the ability to create maelstroms to swallow ships.

I think Squard's former captain survived the destruction of their crew too,

But I think he was captured and used for a guinea pig in Vegapunk's ancient gigantification experiment.

I think he is the zero of the Numbers like how Kuma is PX-0 of the Pacifistas. The first person the experiment was done on. This is a pattern in One Piece for groups/organizations that are number themed. Crocodile was Mr. 0 in Baroque Works. Cipher Pol has CP-0 and Reiju is 0 in Germa 66,

I think after being bought by Kaido he defected from the Beasts Pirates. I think for some reason he was able to retain his intelligence or regain it.

The manga hinted that Law knows Hinokizu and it was emphasized even more in the anime. I think it has to do with his time at Punk Hazard. His cover story was to learn about the traces of government research there.

I think Law did really do that. He was the one that revealed that the government did gigantification research to the Straw Hats. His explanation was tiny foreshadowing for the Numbers.

Shiryu believes that Hinokizu is a government man I think in a sense he will be right, I think Hinokizu was a prisoner, a ward of the state. I think him saying it might be foreshadowing too since he was the Head Jailer at Impel Down.

I think the oversize sword Squard's wield might be a memento he kept of his captain.

I think Squard's captain was a large human like Whitebeard. Whitebeard was shown side by side to Squard and it looked like the sword was right size for him.

A big hole in my theory is that an obvious clue about Hinokizu is that he is an ancient giant. I think he could have the ability to control his gigantification similar to Luffy.

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.

Some people might have already known this

The number 7 is said to be luckiest number in the world in many cultures. Well Luffy happens to be 7 years old when he ate gomu-gomu devil fruit and was given straw hat by shanks.

The number 9 is an unlucky number which means to suffer.

Trafalgar law was 9 years old when his family died.

zoro was 9 years old when kuina died.

Alq to some calculations I did nami happens to be 9 or 10 years old when Bell- Mere died.

well, if she was 9 the above fits on her as well.

The next thing could be completely wrong:-----

In Japan no. 49 is also an unlucky number and it means going to die.

Aokiji happens to be 49 years old right now.
