Foreword Hello, everyone. A year ago, in an attempt to manifest my hopes and dreams into the universe, I declared that 2023 would be the Year of Monet. In the event that this failed, I promised that I would publicly hold a funeral for Monet, as it is significantly less likely that she'll...

Hello, everyone! I recently saw someone state something to the effect of "unpopular opinion, but I don't believe Monet is alive," and that really surprised me, because I've always been under the impression that believing she is alive was the unpopular opinion! But I'm not one to make baseless...

Disclaimer: This theory heavily relies on background knowledge discussed in several past theories and threads pertaining to Monet. As those theories are quite long, I have summarized the most key points of evidence with citations in the spoiler below. I've done what I can to make the current...

Hello, everyone! A couple of months ago, chapter 1023 provided us with a fascinating update to one of my favorite topics: King's race! Even better, the fan translation of the chapter carrying this update came out on Monet's birthday, then officially on my birthday! What a glorious weekend it...

Introduction Hello, everyone! It is simultaneously a sad and glorious day for me, my friends. With the first volume of the second season of the Vivre Card Databook, Oda has finally graced us with Jinbe's official theme color, a revelation that I've been eagerly awaiting for several years now...

Hello, everyone! In my time on this forum, my theories on potential future Straw Hats have focused almost exclusively on female candidates, with the only notable exception being a theory on Momonosuke, and even that one was saying that he would be an honorary crewmate that doesn't count as of...

It's no secret that I, the guy with young Monet as his icon, am a huge proponent of the theory that Monet is alive. While I've written an entire book on the subject, only a small part of said book covers how she survived. Seeing as the whole theory ultimately hinges on whether or not she's...

Hello, everyone! Recently, I was musing about the Japanese concept of kachoufuugetsu (花鳥風月), a yojijukugo or four-character idiom referring to the beauties of nature. This term is used in a number of ways, such as the appreciation of nature, the use of nature as an aesthetic in art, and finding...

Hello, everyone! Some time ago, I theorized that Momonosuke was going to be joining the Straw Hat Crew as an honorary member and that Tama would follow him to join the crew proper. During that theory, I suggested that Tama could produce a large number of her Devil Fruit-based kibi dango and...

Hello, everyone! Sometime ago I posted a poll asking what subtheories from my Grand Monet Theory readers wanted me to either go into more detail on or talk about separately so it wouldn't be lost in the chaos. Far and away the one that people were most interested in across two different forums...

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I've talked about who's going to be joining the Straw Hats, and with the raid against Kaido now in full swing, now seems like a good time to discuss a topic that's been gaining (or regaining) some traction as of late: Momonosuke's recruitment. I've...

Hello, everyone! As you may recall, some time ago I posted an exceedingly long theory on Monet's past, present and future. Within that theory were several other theories that served to provide context for my ideas surrounding Monet, as I do not believe that any further plot details involving...

"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...

Hello, everyone! As some of you may know (or may have guessed from the rest of my content), my favorite arc in One Piece is easily Punk Hazard. Yes, it's almost entirely because it's the only arc that actually features Monet at present, but other than that, it's pretty much the single most...

Hello, everyone! Taking a quick break from recruitment theories to talk about something I've been wondering about for years: why have we never seen an insect Devil Fruit user? By which I mean, why haven't we ever seen an insect eat and use Devil Fruit powers, not why haven't we seen anyone use...

Hello, everyone! I don't plan for this to be a particularly long one, I just thought it was distinct enough of a topic from my previous theories that it would be better served as its own thread rather than an addendum to any of them. I mentioned the other day in my theory on the pattern of the...

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the third installment in my series of Female Straw Hat Patterns. Part 1 covered the various patterns established by the uncanny similarities between Nami and Robin's introductions, character designs, and actions, while Part 2 analyzed an alternative to the long...

Hello again, everyone! In my last theory, I proposed three possible patterns that Oda may have established with Nami and Robin's introductions and interactions with the crew: the Looking Down Pattern, in which their name card scenes involved them sitting on elevated platforms so as to be...

Hello, everyone! To those of you who knew me from the Oro Jackson days, good to see you again! To those who didn't, nice to meet you! I used to have a ton of theories on that good old ship, but sadly I was unable to find the time to move any of them over here with how busy I was at the time. I...
