So an astronomer doesn't seem necessary for just getting to the moon. It's also arguable whether one would be necessary for returning from the moon, since ostensibly the Birkans that formerly lived on the moon descended via balloon as well, not unlike how the Straw Hats were able to descend from...

Chapter 2: The Vegapunk Saga (Monet's Return)

It's never explicitly stated who this note is from, and Monet clearly notices Chopper and doesn't immediately stop him. People have taken this to mean that Monet was somehow in on the plan, or that she figured the group might be able to help the children and didn't want to get in the way. Not to...

Reading right to left, in the first panel, we can very clearly see "ASTRO" and "LI," the former very likely being short for astronomy, astrology, or maybe even astrophysics. "LI" doesn't mean much on its own until the second panel, where we see another book of the same color at the same position...

"Whether it's the City of Gold or Sky Island, there's never been a person who's proven they don't exist!" -Montblanc Cricket Foreword: This theory ended up being a lot longer than I originally intended it to be, a little over 50,000 words in fact. To put that into perspective, that's generally...

May I ask what inspired this theory? Is this just speculation on something you think would be interesting, or did you see some hint that would suggest an existing connection between Black Maria and Elder Nyon?

The moment I saw that this theory was posted, I thought "idiot Oven probably cauterized the wounds." I'm super glad to see we were on the same wavelength. I don't think it's really fair or very kind to tell people to stop believing in Pedro, though. I don't believe in him being alive myself...

I think you may be deliberately misinterpreting my words. All of this is purely hypothetical and just fun stuff to think about. If the patterns are real, Oda is likely aware that there are people who know about them, as we know he gets a deluge of fanmail, many of which involve questions about...

I'm not sure I get your point. This pattern is an observation from fans, a piece of trivia for the attentive reader. It has absolutely no bearing on the general audience, so much so that it might not even be true in the first place. What does it matter whether it's confusing when most people...

Yes, that was the point. The idea here is that Oda probably knows that we're all wise to the patterns by now, so instead of doing the obvious and going with characters that outright fit the pattern, I theorize that he's obscuring the truth by using characters that technically fit. It's like how...

Please don't assume that people look into leaked chapters before they're translated, I would rather go into them fresh.

I can see your point on pretty much all of that, and though I disagree, I'm not going to contend any of those characters' chances. What I will contend though, are your claims that Pound survived Oven's attack and that Gyukimaru is a dual sword user. Pound might be alive, but the last panel we...

That's definitely an interesting way to look at it, I'm just curious how it would look if you did include Luffy and not &. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z AN-Nami, BO-Brook, CP-Chopper, DQ-???, ER-Robin, FS-Franky and Sanji, GT-???, HU- Usopp, IV-Vivi, JW-Jinbe, KX-???, LY-...

Just so this edit doesn't go completely unnoticed, I added in some more information that I wasn't previously aware of that greatly backs up this theory, being that Lineage Factors, a major factor in Devil Fruit and SMILE usage, is just Oda's way of saying DNA. It really helps this theory come...

Oh man, I wish I could take credit for noticing that. That's practically ancient Monet Theory lore by this point, it's just a detail I've held tight to for the past several years. If you want something that I did notice, juuust you wait.

Everybody catch all that? Cus this one gets it. I will say though that you've neglected one crucial detail about Monet's introductory arc that sets her apart from Robin and Franky: the subtle implication of her field. At several points, we see Monet's nose buried in notes and a pile of books...

...Ah, yeah, Laffitte did do that, huh? I completely forgot that scene was in Mary Geoise, and I certainly never considered how he would have gotten there. I imagine it has something to do with his ability to sprout wings, which seems like too important of a detail to just be his Devil Fruit, in...

Something I've been considering lately is the purpose of theories. Is the point to convince people, or just to preach to whoever will listen? The conclusion I came to was that I shouldn't worry too much about getting people on my side so much as creating a shadow of a doubt. I came into this...

Fair point, Hyogoro is definitely a GH candidate. I'm not sure what benefit seastone crafting would have aside from possibly making seastone weapons for the non-haki users, which would be pretty cool. I remember a long time ago, people were clamoring for a blacksmith on the crew assuming they...
