Questions & Mysteries Dr. Kureha knows ?

[Moewu]

I wasn't sure about making a thread about this because it is most likely just an easteregg from Oda.

But anyway, I was randomly looking at some one-piece color spreads, and came across this.

Apparently, in chapter 153, there are some books in Dr. Kurehas' Bookshelf that made me stop for a moment there.

Harry Potter? Okay, we got some references to it throughout the story, but a book titled "One Piece" ?

Now looking back at this iconic panel after so many years and everything we have learned during the Elbaf/Godvalley flashback this hits differently. It has some ominous vibe to it.

What did she mean by the will of D?

Does she know about it?

Could there be a correlation between some secret knowledge that Dr. Kureha has and the Blackbeards' attack on Drum Island? We never really learned why they came there.

I remember when Don Krieg really badly wanted Zefs journal of the Grand Line. Maybe Blackbeard was after something similar? As we all know, knowledge is power.

But as I mentioned in the beginning, these could just be some Easter Eggs. Obviously, we will learn more about Dr. Kureha sooner or later, especially about her age. Perhaps Blackbeard also just heard about her age and was intrigued to find out more.


Or, she is some secret D. reincarnation herself, and already went to Laughtale. (Secretly)

She's Nefertari Lili

She's Nefertari Lili

That would be crazy. I think there were some theories about whether Toki sent Lili into the future as well. Who knows, we might encounter way more people from the past that live in the present now.



I am glad Oda restricted her powers to only travel forward in time. Makes it more interesting.

It's heavily implied that she does. The last thing we see in WB's last talk with Roger, shown in a flashback, was him asking about the meaning of "D". Then we go back to Marineford, where WB proceeds to make his legendary speech, commenting about the Ds' inherited will and reaffirming that the One Piece is real.
