    Questions & Mysteries Possible Mural Explanation

    I haven’t seen this take on the Mural yet so I thought I would share my idea: In world 1, I think the Earth God and Inferno Flame Serpent are not Gods but real animals: a Dragon and what we can call a Land King, since the worm looks like the Giant Sea Kings just on Land During that war...

    Questions & Mysteries Solving What the One Piece is

    According to the Wiki, One Piece has 3 possible translations. That it should be read as "一つなぎ" - a more or less literal Japanese translation of "(in) one piece".[11] That it should be read as "人繋ぎ" - a phrase roughly translating to "the rope linking all men".[12] That it should be read as...

    Theory IMU has the Fruit Model Green Dragon

    In my Chinapiece thread, I explained IMU’s is based on Shu IMU a dragon demon who floods the world. Expanding on that, I want to share why IMU probably has the Model Green Dragon, and we have already seen his zoan form: The statue in Ryuuga palace is green not blue, so it’s based on another...

    Speculations ChinaPiece, The Great Flood

    One Piece’s plot is inspired by the myth of China’s great flood. The myth spans 3-4 legendary figures depending on its telling, Yao Emperor, Gun, Yu the Great, and The Monkey King. These figures all try to stop the flood and fail until Yu or the Monkey King succeed depending on the telling. The...

    Speculations Luffy’s Final Battle Will Be a 16 Man Gauntlet

    Joy Boy final battle was not 1v1 but against different founding Kings/Queens. There were originally 20 Kings/Queens but I don’t think they all fought Joy Boy. IMU being tied to the number 16 makes me think it was 16 of the Kings/Queens who fought Joy Boy, making it the 16 Holy Bullets that...

    Future Events One Piece Could End in Ch 1225

    I think Oda in the New World has been trying to compress entire Sagas into 1 or 2 islands. East Blue Sage - Shabondy + Fishman Island Arabast Saga - Punk Hazard + Dressrosa Skypia Saga - Zou + WCI EL Saga - Wano Thriller Bark Saga - Egghead Following this pattern we have one Saga left to...

    Theory One Piece is The Roaring Cauldron

    “ Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mimisburn”. Are the 3 wells that feed Yggdrasil. In some versions Yggdrasil is split into 3 trees each fed by a different well. Uroarbrunner is the well of fate and heaven, which grants the power to see the...

    Theory Blackbeard’s Master Plan.

    Blackbeard knows IMU is in love with Lily and wants to use the Boa’s fruit and a fake Lily to defeat him. The fake Lily would ether be Vivi or Katarina Devon transformed into Vivi, who has the same appearance as Lily and triggers IMU’s lust making him susceptible to Boa’s fruit. Blackbeard...

    Speculations IMU will be defeated this Arc

    Egghead is partly inspired by Thriller Bark. The Gorosei themselves are comparisons to the General Zombies. Taran = Saturn - Both Spider Monsters Lola = Warcury - Both Boar Monsters Ryuuma = Venusjuro - Both undead Wano Samurai with similar fighting styles to Brook Jigoro = Mars - Since both...

    Theory IMU is From Kano Country

    IMU and his association with floods is based on Chinese mythology. His name comes from the demon Shu-imu who is known to flood lakes and rivers, until defeated by the Monkey King: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuimu#:~:text=Shuimu%20(Chinese%3A%20%E6%B0%B4%E6%AF%8D)%2C,'s%20gate%2Dwarder)...

    Current Events Rain + Red Line = Flood

    Wano had artificial walls erected around it, capturing rain water until Old Wano sunk beneath the sea. This is a small scale model of what is occurring in the entire One Piece world. The Red Line acts as artificial walls to capture rain water that causes the blues and grandline oceans to...

    Questions & Mysteries Revisiting Shuimu

    Over a year ago I posted the theory that Imu was inspired by the demon Shuimu from Chinese folklore: https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/imu’s-origin.40516/ It’s implied this chapter that Imu flooded the old world at the start of the void century, creating a stronger connection with...

    Powers & Abilities IMU Has the Bake Bake no Mi

    I believe Oda introduced Sugar’s DF the Hobi Hobi no Mi to set a precedent for the idea that transforming someone into something unnatural could lead to the world forgetting them. Bake is part of the word Bakemono which means demon or monster in Japan. The Bake Bake fruit would have the ability...

    Speculations The Gorosei Are IMU’s Haki Avatars

    In the chapter it’s shown that the Gorosei’s bodies are formed out of black lightening when summoned. If you check the chapter where Saturn recovers from Kuma’s attack his body also seems to be reforming out of black lightening. IMU is using some new Haki skill we have not seen before to make...

    Speculations Final War Power Vacuum

    The cleanest way for Oda to start the final war is to have the Gorosei be killed off in Egghead. When this happens it will leave a hole in the chain of command between IMU and the WG, and create an opportunity for multiple factions to claim leadership. Garling and the HK seem to be the next...

    Theory Garp and Roger Are Brothers

    I think Kong is Garp’s and Roger’s dad. Kong‘s name is reference to Donkey Kong and he has the similar cut on his eye as Luffy and Garp. Oda is using these things to hint at a family relationship between Kong and the Monkey family. Roger also bares to much of a similarity in appearance to...

    Speculations Skypia = God Vally = Laughtale

    I think instead of all the future enemies straw hats have to face happening in different battles or arcs Oda is building up to a giant royal rumble that mirrors God Valley and Skypia. In God Valley the Top factions were all involved and clashing for a great treasure that they found out was...

    Theory IMU is From Wano

    1- The higher ups of Wano are aligned the same as that of the WG: Emperor = IMU 5 Daimyo = 5 Gorosei 9 Scabbers = 9 Holy Knights 2- The Gorosei and IMU all seem to be based on Japanese Mythical creatures or Yokai 3- The World Nobles refer to themselves as Tenryubito, heavenly dragon folk...

    Speculations Captain John and Hachinose Treasure

    Captain John is based on Long John Silver from treasure island. In the book John Silver is one of three people who ends up with Captain Flint’s Treasure. The other two spend the treasure right away, but John Silver hides and saves his. In God Vally we saw that two other people ended up with...

    Speculations Fish-Fish Fruit Isn’t Weak to The Sea

    Chapter 1096 hints Pirate Island’s treasure was the Fish Fish Fruit. While a Mythic Zoan is valuable, we don’t see people hunting down Marco or Sengoku for their mythical fruits. Even among other Mythical Zoan the Fish fruit has to special. One thing that never made sense to me is Kaidou being...
