I'm debating on if this is even worth sharing or not. I'm not sure if this ever comes together to be a interesting read on it's own. It's kind of a collection of theories about One Piece that I have that I'm trying to merge together into one giant megatheory. A mental exercise to get my thoughts together, during this break month. I'm not sure if the ideas really come together into something coherent or not. It's kind of piecemeal and brute forced together. And it's probably overly complicated.
But, with recent events in the manga, I think we are getting pretty close to getting some reveals soon. So, if I ever want to share this, it might as well be now. We're getting close to this being my last chance to try and predict how the story will go. I might as well give it a shot.
So, I wrote this overly long PDF about how I see almost every mystery in One Piece going. It's more than just dragons, as I talk about ideas for where the story about Shanks, Imu, the Gorosei, and others could go as the story goes on. I try to keep it pretty tongue-in-cheek and light throughout. Hopefully, that helps keep people's attention, so reading it doesn't because too terrible of a slog.
I almost have to put it up on mediafire, because I don't think there's a way to attach files like this to the forum iteself. And it's pretty hefty, clocking in at 15 MB and a 151 pages. There's a lot of pictures I use to call back to different parts of the story.

I don't know if anyone is actually going to bother to read this bloated behemoth of a megatheory, but here's basically the first "page" to give you a idea of what you're in for:
Whatever Vegapunk's message is, I guess it requires visuals. So, I guess it's something complicated or weird. I don't think it will actually have anything to do with the World Government directly. Vegapunk actually seems surprised about how the Government is reacting, so I don't think he would have prepared a message about them. I think Vegapunk is literally talking about "the world", the physical object. And it's probably a warning of some kind. Something Vegapunk thinks the world needs to know in order to survive something that's coming.
So, I have three wild guesses.
One, "The Dragons are coming". We've seen that Vegapunk has LOT of interest in dragons, for some reason. He was trying to perfectly recreate the Dragon Devil Fruit. He was trying to "clone" dragons on Punk Hazard. He has a giant holographic dragon on his own island. Vegapunk seems to be a bit of a dragon fanboy, really. And we KNOW dragons used to exist thanks to Monsters/Ryuma. And I don't think it's a coincidence that we got a anime adaptation of that story this year. I think they did that to re-introduce the concept of dragons to the audience, because they're going to be important to the story soon.
Two, "There's another World under the ocean". I think it's possible that the One Piece World is hollow. Yes, I know, Hollow Earth theory is silly, but stay with me. We ALL suspect that Kaido and Big Mom aren't really dead, so what have they been doing all this time? Well, I think it's possible that they're basically having a family reunion of sorts in the Underworld. I think it's possible that this entire World is some sort of giant prison for Dragons and Oar's Race (which I call the Oni). When the Mother Flame fires into the ocean, the reason why it creates holes is because it's puncturing holes through to the other side of this Hollow Planet. The ocean has LESS total surface area to be spread over. This is something that might require visual aides to really get across. Plus, the idea of freeing all the people who have been trapped in the "Underworld" for centuries feels appropriate for Luffy.
Three, "The Ancient Kingdom was from outer space". Between the Gorosei's names, Ohara’s Orrery, Enel's cover story on the Moon, and the fact that Vegapunk's holographic dragon looks suspiciously Namekian, I think there's going to be some sort of reveal about a threat from outer space. Something that the Ancient Kingdom might have been running away from. Honestly, I think it's possible that the One Piece World is the result of some sort of terraforming process, possibly with the Devil Fruits being the means of transforming the world into something inhabitable for these space people. I think it's possible that the One Piece World has basically, "inherited the will" of Earth itself. Earth may have been destroyed in the past, and the survivors took to the stars to create a new home. But, whatever blew up the original Earth is following them. We know there's SOME connection between this World and Earth, because Wano has a Mount Fuji. So, either this is Earth in the far future, or it's been remade to more closely resemble Earth.
And it's possible all three of these guesses are true at the same time. The Dragons might be the original inhabitants of this planet who were unfairly driven underground by the desperate invading humans. I know this is pretty out there, but One Piece can be kind of out there, too.
The rest of this theory will be expanding upon these core ideas in more detail. So, this should give you some idea if you want to continue reading or not.
