First World: We see an industrial world, mechanized, highly developed. This must be the ancient kingdom. But they were greedy, exploiting an energy source comparable to solar energy. This energy is found deep within the Earth. To extract and utilize this energy, they used slaves. Slaves who were not only exploited and lived without their own will, but also regularly died in the process. We see a kind of elevator. People transporting the energy from the bottom to the top, and people descending with a halo. This symbolizes the death of the slaves as they extracted energy for society.
At that time, there was still a single sea connecting the world, the All Blue. It is described that the Earth God raged and, with the serpent of hellfire, plunged the world into darkness. They could never see each other again. I believe that the extraction of energy must be imagined like the mining of coal or other earth materials. You dig, you drill, creating a gigantic amount of debris. And the Earth's structure is split. I think that this could have triggered a kind of earthquake, which claimed the lives of many living beings (The Earth God raged). The result of these earthquakes was the shifting of the continental plates and the formation of a gigantic wall that encircled the entire Earth—the present-day Red Line. Here, Oda was probably inspired by the serpent Jormungandr, which encircles the world and bites its own tail. Note how the depicted serpent has the same symbol as the planet in the corner, which is also surrounded by a kind of wall. The creation of the Red Line not only divided the world in two but also blocked the energy source. Many slaves took advantage of the chaos and escaped. One of these slaves would go down in history as the first pirate: Joyboy – the sun god.
Second World: The key points are clear: The sun energy was the trigger for a gigantic war. I believe that this energy was the necessary fuel for the ancient weapons Uranus and Pluton. Two almost identical objects, as depicted in the painting. Pluton, a warship that sailed the seas and possessed incredible destructive power, and Uranus, a warship that obliterated the enemy from the air with a gigantic energy beam. Perhaps the 20 royal families saw their opportunity in the resource scarcity of the ancient kingdom to launch a coup and seize power. Uranus was also used in this battle. In the painting, you can see how a lightning bolt from the flying ship strikes the tree in the center. For me, this is a symbol of the world tree Yggdrasil. And now it gets important: Yggdrasill is a place that connects all living and dead. And it gives all things a voice (The voice of all things). Every soul will return to Yggdrasil after death.
A place where souls return after death.
Now, let's consider Vegapunk's statement that the Devil Fruits originated from human desires and imaginings. If the souls, and therefore their desires, are concentrated in this tree, and it is then struck by a powerful energy source, like that of Uranus, could this have caused the souls to merge with the tree's fruit, resulting in the Devil Fruits? The Forest God tamed the demons—a hint at the origin of the Devil Fruits during the great war in the Void Century. The forest god is Yggdrasil. The origin of all devil fruits. Shaped by humanity's intervention in nature.
Notice how the tree has 13 main branches. Perhaps the number 13 represents the different overarching categories of Devil Fruits:
The Four Elementals (Matter)
These fruits represent the physical nature of the world, which was divided by the Red Line (the Serpent).
1.Primordial Earth: Power over the foundation (perhaps the original form of Pica or Whitebeard's fruit).
2.Primordial Sea: A paradox, but perhaps there was a fruit that controlled water.
3.Primordial Fire: Pure thermal energy (the sun).
4.Primordial Air: Power over the atmosphere (weat
her/Uranus).
The Four Conceptual Laws.
These forces control the rules by which the world operates.
5. Space: The ability to traverse distances (Warp/Ope Ope).
6. Time: The preservation or alteration of the moment (Toki Toki no Mi).
7. Gravity: The binding of matter (Fujitora).
8. Light/Darkness: The duality of visibility and emptiness (Yami Yami and Pika Pika).
The Four Spiritual Laws (Souls/Duppies). These fruits manipulate life itself.
9. The Soul (Soru Soru): The direct manipulation of life essence.
10. The Shadow (Kage Kage): The Duppy principle—the disembodied presence.
11. Will (Haki): A fruit that may enhance or suppress Haki.
12. Evolution (Zoan): The primordial Zoan that enables the development of any life form (human/animal).
The 13th Fruit: The Anomaly In any system of 13, the last number is the "wild card" or the "destroyer." 13. The Nika Fruit (Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika): * It is the 13th power because it breaks all other laws. It is "total freedom."
Third World: Pretty unspectacular in terms of interpretation. I think everyone knows what's meant here. There was a prophecy that the reincarnation of Joyboy (Luffy) would unite the various races to lead them in the final battle against the existing World Government. With their victory, they would overthrow the existing order and bring down the Red Line, which also serves as a symbol of the aristocrats' superiority. The All Blue exists again.
