As one of the longest-running and most beloved manga/anime series, One Piece has captured the hearts and minds of fans worldwide. Its rich storytelling and intricate world-building have spawned countless fan theories.
If you just completed the latest One Piece Manga chapter, here are six of the Reddit community’s most groundbreaking One Piece theories.
1. The One Piece is Binks’ Sake
One of the most popular theories suggests that the titular “One Piece” treasure is an endless supply of sake left behind by “Joyboy” Jaguar D. Saul, also known as Binks. This sake has been slowly fermenting for 800 years, and drinking it would unite all races in a massive party, fulfilling Joyboy’s dream.
2. Luffy’s Mom was the Former Empress of Amazon Lily
A mind-blowing theory posits that Luffy’s mysterious mother was the former empress of Amazon Lily before Boa Hancock. This could explain why Kuma sent Luffy there after the Sabaody Archipelago incident, as he may have known about Luffy’s connection to the island.
3. The World Will Literally Turn Upside Down
According to the “Pole Shift Theory,” the world of One Piece will undergo a literal pole shift, turning the world upside down. This could explain the Red Line’s equatorial position, the changing sea levels, and even Zoro’s poor sense of direction. When Roger said he wanted to “turn the world upside down,” he may have been foreshadowing this event.
4. The Three Blackbeards Theory
This theory suggests that Blackbeard is not a single entity but three separate beings inhabiting one body. Evidence includes his three-headed Jolly Roger, his ability to have multiple Devil Fruits, Marco’s comments about his body, and his reference to “them” when discussing his plan.
5. Joyboy’s Treasure is a Hilarious Comic Book
One fascinating theory suggests from Reddit user that One Piece is the last surviving volume of a hilarious comic book from the Void Century, detailing the adventures of the fictional hero “Nika.” Joyboy was supposedly a huge fan of these comics and tried to accomplish Nika’s dream of liberation in real life. These are just a few of the countless theories that have captivated the One Piece community on Reddit. As the story continues to unfold, fans will undoubtedly come up with even more ingenious ideas to unravel the mysteries of this beloved series.
