Theory Imu's Lie

[Kenichi@]

The Celestial Dragons are not descendants of the original 20 kingdoms. The D. members are the real descendants . At some point in the war, they turned on Imu, and they were defeated once JoyBoy died. That is why Imu has all of their weapons around his throne, they were not placed there out of respect, but as trophies from conquest. The current Celestial Dragons are just the descendants of slaves or regular people. That will add a good sense of irony when people look back on their past portrayal. It is also on theme for Imu. Imu flips people upside down, that is what domi reversi does. Roger kept alluding to the fact that the world is upside down. So, think about this chain, slaves or ordinary people are flipped and become "Gods" who enact the same horrors that were once perpetrated against them. While the D, who were Kings, are now lowly pirates and regular citizens.

I like this concept of flipping side. I would go further and add something a bit: since Imu is the Devil (false god etc), maybe the Celestial Dragons and Gorosei are the descendants of (not just ordinary people) but the worst criminals ever (the most sadistic, evil, abusive kings and shadow elites puppeteering even kings themselves) and they could be or not be the mentioned kings. They could be the kings or ones rebelling and managing to usurp each previous kings, they could be businessmen or international bankers controlling kings and kingdoms themselves, etc.

I kinda like this one, but there is counter arguments of this
Since DonQuixote fam is the true ruler of Dressrosa, that means by this theory DonQuixote were descendants of D.
