MONKEY D. DRAGON, HIS FRUIT IS…?

[IMG]

Dragon is most likely an Air Logia or Air Paramecia (possesses the ability to manipulate air, but not turn into it like would be the case with a Logia) because a lot of his current feats are possible if one is able to manipulate the wind which is fundamentally air. If we observe the scenes he’s been in, we can conclude that he’s very like an Air Paramecia as he’s never been shown transforming into Air, but rather, just controlling it.

Logue Town Phenomenon

Luffy was about to be executed and while this execution was about to be concluded, Nami who was on her way to the execution platform realised that the air pressure was going down and said a storm was coming.

[IMG]

Smoker witnessed the entire dramatic execution play out and he said it looked like he knew he was going to be saved, but we know that wasn’t the case; perhaps, this is a foreshadowing of someone coming to save Luffy which did happen.

[IMG]

While a lot of coincidences are transpiring (such as the air pressure dropping), someone makes an entrance which is hinted at by the use of the “narrator’s dialogue box” before and after Luffy’s execution.

[IMG]

The next time we see the “narrator’s dialogue box” again, it’s continueing where it left off; Dragon is in the cut which implies that Dragon was in the vicinity when Luffy was bound to the execution platform which is when the first narrative box appears.

[IMG]

Something to notice is that there’s a flash present while Dragon is walking towards the execution platform or Luffy; the flash is indicative of the ligthening.

[IMG]

That flash I believe is the moment this happens.

[IMG]

The timing of everything is somewhat indicative that Dragon was indeed responsible for that lightening strike because it was convenient, and it could also be indicative that Dragon’s power is indeed the power to manipulate the air.

Lightening

Air pressure plays a huge role in the formation of storms and lightening. Lightening needs a cloud to in order to be made:

  1. The ground is heated up.
  2. The heated up ground begins to heat up the air, this warms the air up.
  3. The warm air begins to rise up towards the cloud.
  4. As the air rises, water vapour cools and forms a cloud.
  5. The cloud begins to expand and grow bigger as more water vapour is formed.
  6. The top of the cloud is below freezing temperature.
  7. The rising water vapour turns into ice and a thunder cloud is formed.
  8. The tiny bits of ice collide with each other and builds up electrical charge.
  9. This process eventually results in lightening being produced.

TL;DR: The ability to manipulate air allows one to freely produce lightening just like Nami does.

Back To Logue Town & Dragon

If we remember as stated earlier by Nami, the air pressure was dropping “coincidentally” when Dragon arrived at Logue Town.

What really takes the cake with this postulation is that when Luffy is saved, he’s saved by a gust of wind by Dragon; this implies he is indeed an Air Logia or Air Paramecia (possesses the ability to manipulate air, but not turn into it like would be the case with a Logia).

[IMG]

Evidently, Dragon was the one responsible for this gust of wind and more so is the case, because Smoker says why did you help him escape? And at the same time, Dragon’s arms are out in the same direction that this gust was going in.

[IMG]

Based on Logue Town, one can conclude that Dragon has an ability to do with the manipulation of air.

Goa Kingdom

Goa Kingdom is on fire thanks to Bluejam following orders of the Nobles to burn up the refuse dump regardless of people habitating it. The fire is widely spread and suddenly, a huge gust of wind creates a path clearing distinguishing the fire.

[IMG]

Who is coincidentally at the end of this open path created by wind? Noneother than Dragon himself.

[IMG]

It seems wherever Dragon is at, expect a reference to wind or a gust of wind.

Dragon saving Sabo

Dragon is literally in mid air or standing on the sea actually standing on land as revealed by the Anime, so it seems he’s not actually floating.

[IMG] [IMG]

If we look at this scene, Dragon was in the middle of the sea with Sabo and now he’s appears on the RA ship; it implies Dragon has the ability to fly despite not turning into air or any form of animal.

[IMG]

Bonus information: Oda tells us the Anime pertaining to Sabo’s life is Canon; Sabo attacks Dragon, Dragon evades it – Logias do not need to dodge.

Dragon can’t be a Zoan

Some would like to believe that Dragon is a Dragon Zoan, but if he were a Dragon Zoan, how did he fly to the RA vessel without revealing any wings? Even Marco can’t fly without the wings of his Phoenix ability. This means that Dragon is highly unlikely to be a Dragon Zoan.

[IMG]

Based on all the evidence thus far, it seems to be strongly the case that Dragon is indeed an Air controlling Paramecia.

Thanks for reading!

Theory by Hannibal Psyche

OPE OPE NO MI AND GOROSEI

Ope Ope No Mi is able to grant one iternal life in exchange for DF user life. I think that this ability had been used when DF user was about to die. The sacrifice wasn’t that big and maybe Ope Ope user was looking for someone to give him last gift. Of course, that ability is extremely useful for almost anyone in OP world. Luffy might declined, but someone else like Doflamingo or Gorosei will be looking for that power. Unfortunately, this technique have one, big flaw. It can be used only on person. For group like Gorosei is unacceptable. So i was thinking about something else. Before revealing ultimate technique Doflamingo mentioned something else – Personality Transplant. Imagine, Gorosei with bodies of 20-30 years old men, with another 50-60 in years extra added to their life. It’s quite tempting and they will have enough time to find another Ope Ope No Mi user and do the same thing again. So what if they are the same people with different bodies for centuries? They maybe even from Void Century.

ZOU’S DESTINATION REVEALED – Theory

THE UNSOLVED MYSTERY OF ZOU EXPLAINED

As we all know, in the ancient times Zou committed a crime and was sentenced to walk for all Eternity till end of time and to act only at the behest of an order.
121.png
Now this leads to three question.

1. Where is Zou heading to? What is its destination?
2. Who could have possibly given Zou this kinda punishment to walk for all eternity?
3. What was the crime that Zou commited?

Now lets start with the basic question of ” What was the Crime that Zou committed?”and before answering it i wanna say i believe that Zunisha was inspired by the Ganesha. Ganesha is a demi-god in hindu religion. The similarities not only lies in the character but beyond.

Once Ganesha also committed a crime, he didn’t let Lord Shiva to enter into his own territory. Due to which he has to face the wrath of lord Shiva.

ganesha_lord_of_obstacles_by_genzoman-d7p2kml.jpg8_1448368548.jpg
Now just like in One Piece World we have Pluton, Poseidon and Uranus. There are three gods in hindu mythology: Bramha, Vishnu and Shiva.

If Ganesha represents Zou who offended Lord Shiva that means Zou’s crime must be something that offended URANUS and it is connected to Wano Kingdom. In simple words, i believe the Crime of Zou separated the Wano Kingdom from everyone else and closed the kingdom’s border.

Now Zou consider Momonuske as his Lord which means that the power of Uranus flows in the blood of Kouzuki Family and this means Momonuske is the Ancient weapon and this might be the other reason why Kaido is so desperate to get his hands on Momonuske.
tumblr_ohnk6jvzN51t1yvcko1_1280.gif

Where is Zou heading to? As Momonuske mentioned “Zou is sentenced to walk for enternity till the END OF TIME.” The word “End of time” has a great importance here and has more than one meaning. I believe the word end of time means the end of time of responsiblities given to Zou

Now we all know that Zou committed a crime and was sentenced for it about 1000 years ago and after 200 years Zou was given the responsiblity to carry the Road Poneglyph on its back .

Now 900 years before when the war broke between allied nations and Ancient kingdom. During this 100 years Kouzuki Family started building these Poneglyphs and they placed in different different places.

Now what i believe is Uranus gave Zou the responsiblity to retain the Road Poneglyph and then Mink tribes settled themselves on the Zou as a guardian of the Poneglyph or perhaps Zou was commanded that until you fullfill this responsiblity. You will walk for eternity and when Poneglyph have fullfilled its purpose and there is no need for guarding it, Zou can finally return to where it belonged.

fantasy-landscape-scenery-3.jpg
Now it might be possible that Zou’s final destination is Wano country itself and it explains why Lord Oden’s last words were “open the borders of Wano country” may be he meant to open the borders of Wano so that Zou can return back after fullfilling its purpose.

Zou_Infobox.png
Now why i believe that Zou was given responsiblity to retain the ROAD Poneglyph. It’s because of the structure design of the country of Minks on the top of Zou. Now this country is technologically very advanced and was built for a purpose for Minks. I believe the four small pillar represents the Road Poneglyph and the four big pillar represents the Island’s of Road Poneglyph the intersection of which is what emerges as Raftel that’s why i believe that this country was specifically build for the guadians of ROAD PONEGLYPHS.

WHAT IS A LOGIA

[IMG]
1 criteria is used to determine if one is a Logia, however, there is actually a 2nd Criteria; an Intangible-body is the 1st criteria while, the 2nd is whether this intangible-body is not originating from biological-organisms (e.g. Creatures or Plants):
  • The DF must give the user a body that can bypass solid attacks.

    [IMG] Logias can only be effectively hurt by Haki if no weakness to utilize (like Water to fight against Crocodile’s Sand-based Body).

    [IMG]
  • Based on “Observation” of all who are Logia, not only are they able to bypass physical attacks, they’re always related to forces of nature or by-products of forces of nature (excludes things naturally produced by organisms such as poison, venom, snot, etc.)
    [IMG]
All known Logia fit under this 2 notions

Enel
Turns into lightening which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Kizaru
Turns into light which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Aokiji
Turns into ice which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Akainu
Turns into magma which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Monet
Turns into snow which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Ace & Sabo
Turns into flames which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Crocodile
Turns into sand which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Caeser Clown
Turns into gas which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Caribou
Turns into a swamp/mud which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Blackbeard
Turns into a black-hole which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks, but due to gravity, his body absorbs all attacks as pain nullifying his intangibility. More details below on why he’s a Black-hole and not Darkness (the absence of light).

[IMG]

He fits under this classification, but requires a brief explanation, his DF is the Darkness fruit. It’s easy to assume Oda means Darkness as in the absence of light which is the opposite of Kizaru, but that’s wrong, how? When you switch your lights off, does gravity increase? No, the DF name is a misnomer.

In space there’s something called a Black-hole, it can’t be seen which is why Oda portrays Blackbeard’s DF as darkness and this is why he can turn into darkness too. Another thing is Black-holes (the biggest ones) are found in the centre of galaxies, they can’t be seen but their effect to pull everything around it towards them can can be observed.

Blackbeard’s body is literally a Black-hole which is why his body absorbs all attacks as pain rather than bypass them.

Smoker
Turns into smoke which is produced by forces of nature (not organisms), his ability provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.

Why They’re Paramecia

If one doesn’t possess all attributes of a Logia, then they’re not a Logia:

  • Possess an ability that provides a body with ability to bypass solid attacks.
  • Be produced by forces of nature (and never by an organism).

Pica
Doesn’t possess a body that bypasses solid attacks, though produced by forces of nature.

Whitebeard
Doesn’t possess a body that bypasses solid attacks, though produced by forces of nature.

Diamond Jozu
Doesn’t possess a body that bypasses solid attacks, though produced by forces of nature.

Shu
Doesn’t possess a body that bypasses solid attacks, though produced by forces of nature.

Magellan
Doesn’t possess a body that bypasses solid attacks and produced by organisms.

Trebol
Doesn’t possess a body that bypasses solid attacks, though produced by organisms (not forces of nature). Below I explain in more detail that he’s really not a solid.

[IMG]
  • Why would Law tell someone that they won’t be able to reattach themselves? – It’s because they’re able to attach themselves back together.
  • Why didn’t Law tell Tashigi that she won’t be able to reattach her body back together? – It’s because she remains detached when cut, she has a tangible body.
  • Why didn’t he use the same cutting technique used on Vergo & Tashigi, against Trebol? – When he defeated Vergo, he cut him onto pieces with the same nameless technique he used for everyone else because it renders “them” (tangible bodied persons) incapacitated.
  • Against Trebol, he uses? – Radio Knife and explicitly states that he won’t be attaching himself back together.

Source: SBS and patterns in Oda’s classification

Oda has highlighted Logia as nature as one of the keywords. Also note in Oda’s response, Paramecia can change their own bodies as well (Trebol). – SBS Volume 35 (2004)

Pretty much confirming that Logia are natural being as earthquake can be considered natural, the only flaw is the lack of a body that bypasses solid attacks. – SBS Volume 58

Theory by Hannibal Psyche

The marines led by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki will overthrow the current world government leaders.

First, let’s go back to the basics. The World Government comprising of 170+ countries is the One Piece world’s only government and political party. It is lead by the Five Elders and was formed over 800 years back. The Marines is a military force under the World Government, they follow commands given by the Five Elders which is often passed on through the Fleet Commander, the only rank above “Fleet Admiral.”

Now let’s get to my theory…. The marines led by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki will perform a coup and overthrow the current world government leaders.

Abolition Of The Shichibukai System
As read in One Piece Chapter 735, Admiral Fujitora wishes to “abolish” the Shichibukai System. As a single Admiral alone, he doesn’t posses the power to go against the Five Elders and all of the World Government. Thus, we can speculate that Fujitora has the backing of none other than Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. There are plenty of reasons why the Marines as a whole may hate Shichibukai’s and the whole system of “privateers.”

1. General Hate For Pirates
The Marines have shown to have a general hatred for Pirates, and it’s obvious. Both these factions are always at war, lives are lost on both sides. The Marines oppose the Pirates at every given opportunity. This general hate for Pirates doesn’t die down. As shown first by Smoker, even though Crocodile was a Shichibukai, Smoker hated him and didn’t trust him. This hatred for Shichibukai has been shown by many other Marines, including: Ex-Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Ex-Vice Admiral Garp, Ex-Admiral Akainu and Admiral Kizaru. 
2. The World Government (Five Elders) Choose And Decide
The Marines play no role in the selection process of Pirates who become Shichibukai. The pact is made between a Pirate and the Five Elders. Often, the Marines end up suffering and paying the price for rouge Shichibukai such as Crocodile and Blackbeard.
3. Pirates Who Have Caused Pain To Marines Get Immunity
Once a Pirate turns “Shichibukai”, the title grants them immunity from the Marines. Their bounty ceases to exist, and the Marines cannot consider them as “illegal Pirates.” But this sometimes works out to not be in favor of the Marines.The current seventh Shichibukai has been confirmed to be a Pirate who had cut Admiral Zephyr’s arm when the admiral was in his prime. Although “Film Z” is not considered canon by many fans, this particular fact has been confirmed by Oda himself.

How in our world, soldiers stand by other soldiers, Marines also have respect and consideration for one another. To see someone who has caused pain, misery and suffering to a fellow Marine be appointed as a Shichibukai, it would upset any Marine.

The Five Elders also consider the “Shichibukai” to be one of the Three Great Powers, along with Yonko and Marines. If the Marines decide to put an end to the Shichibukai system, that means they are directly going against the Five Elders and the World Government.

Fleet Admiral Sakazuki
We all know what kind of a man Sakazuki is, do you really think he is someone who can take orders like Sengoku? No. Sakazuki is 1000 times Smoker, Smoker hates following orders from his seniors and Sakazuki shares the same similarity, especially when the orders come in between his “absolute justice”.

Fleet Admiral Sakazuki also made the Marines much stronger as noted by Jinbei even though the Marines lost great and powerful members. This shows that the Marines have grown much stronger and gained many new powerful members through the Global Military Enlistment.

Fleet Admiral Sakazuki is also a strategical mastermind as shown in the Whitebeard War.

The Five Elders
We know Oda takes his inspiration from many places, the Five Elders can presumably be inspired by Council of Five Elders from Japanese history. The Council of Five had a break out within themselves which lead to a eventual war.

Overthrowing Of The World Government and Introduction Of Revolutionaries As The Third Power
The Marines led by Sakazuki will overthrow the current leaders of the World Government, Sakazuki either himself will lead the New World Government, or will place a panel of his choice to lead the new government.

Along with the abolition of the Shichibukai and the coup that will overthrow the Five Elders, two powers of the previous three will remain, the first being Marines and the second being Yonko’s, once this happens a third power will emerge and take it’s place, theRevolutionaries.

*Theory by Divvens

KUMA COULD HAVE SENT PX-1 TO THE REVOLUTIONARIES

Kuma sent PX-1 off to somewhere unknown, presumably to keep it from destroying or capturing the Straw Hat crew.

What if there was an ulterior motive?

I think it’s possible he sent it to the Revolutionary Army for study and possibly so they can attempt to rewire it to work for them. I thought of this because of Oda’s love of the Terminator movies (displayed by Kuma’s design). Having a “good” Pacifista would be a great homage to T2 and give the Revolutionaries a great weapon.

What do you guys think?

WHY THE ROGER PIRATES WON’T GO TO RAFTEL AGAIN

The Roger Pirates are the only crew to ever successfully conquer the Grand Line but why won’t its former members go back to Raftel and find the One Piece?Shanks is currently the most capable person who could find the One Piece. He’s a Yonko and a former member of the Roger Pirates and was possibly present when the crew found Raftel.

Of all the known living characters who were formerly members of the Roger Pirates, Shanks, Buggy, Rayleigh, Crocus, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, none of them have ever shown interest in finding the One Piece even though it would be relatively easier for these individuals to find it.

Though Buggy has stated that he would want to be the Pirate King, this does not definitely mean that he is interested in finding the One Piece. Luffy states that the Pirate King is the man with the most freedom in the world, and knowing that Buggy has a love for finding and owning various treasures it’s quite interesting that he would not even attempt to find the One Piece, which is the most sought-out treasure in the world. Buggy may have his own definition of what a Pirate King is , as Luffy does. It would make more sense if Buggy had spent years trying to reach Raftel on his own but eventually gave up, but Buggy has shown no intention of even seeking the One Piece.

If Buggy gave up on finding the One Piece because he was too weak then definitely Shanks would have been able to find it, being a Yonko and having various territories in the New World.

Silvers Rayleigh would not really need to find the One Piece or be involved with it anymore as he is now retired. Rayleigh also has knowledge about the Void Century which could throw the world into chaos if it made public. However, Rayleigh’s disinterest in doing this shows that he really isn’t interested in being involved with this “new era”.

This leads to my theory that while disbanding the Roger Pirates, Gol D. Roger himself could have asked his members not to seek out the One Piece as he wanted the “one” who was destined to find the One Piece to find it themselves. Yes, Roger did say anyone who wanted the One Piece could go find it, but he could simply have been speaking with his crew understanding that he was excluding members of the Roger Pirates.

This “one” is stated by Whitebeard while talking to Teach about who would find the One Piece. Rayleigh also sees more of Roger in Luffy when he refuses to learn about the One Piece’s location and secrets. This could be because he had met the person who Roger was talking about in Luffy. However, the fact that Rayleigh was willing to tell the Strawhats the location of the One Piece, despite not knowing that Luffy would refuse to listen possibly means that simply knowing where Raftel is does not guarantee that a person or crew can get there.

Despite this, it is still likely that Shanks and Buggy would have been able to reach Raftel and find the One Piece if they wanted to and therefore haven’t found it because they don’t want to find it.

Roger “banning” his crew from seeking the One Piece would mean that he truly wanted the next “Pirate King” to be the one who deserves to find the One Piece and not just the person who discovers its location.

Gol D. Roger searched for Raftel in order to successfully conquer the Grand Line and so it would make sense if he wanted the person who would find his treasure to go through the same journey and search he did in order to become the Pirate King.

CHOPPER’S POWERUP: THE NEXT RUMBLE BALL

Instant, yet time limited, full mastery of Observation and Armament Haki

One of the most speculated or theorized subject in the One Piece Fandom is the possible power ups and new abilities of the Strawhats after the time skip. While most predictions of fans commonly revolve around the same thoughts (example: new sword for Zoro, Monster forms of all points for Chopper, Giant Clone army for Robin, Direct soul attacks for Brook etc.), I have come up with a unique prediction for Brook (some other time maybe) and most recently Chopper

PART 1: Zoan Awakening​

3 factors of Zoan Awakening have been revealed:
1. GIANT TRANSFORMATION

Impel Down Awakened Jail Beast Guards

2. EARLY RECOVERY
3. INSANE DURABILITY

Jack the Drought; an Ancient Zoan user (possibly awakened)

PART 2: Haki, Awakening and the Rumble Ball​

Rayleigh, “Haki is a power that exists within every single human being. Presence, Spirit, Aura… It is no different from these basic concepts with which anyone should be familiar. However, the vast majority of people go their whole lives without ever noticing they posses it or else try as they may never succeed in making use of it

Zoan Awakening can possibly be defined as, “Awakening is a power that exists within every single Zoan user. Strength, Recovery, Durability… It is no different from these basic concepts with which anyone should be familiar. However, the vast majority of Zoan DF users go their whole lives without ever noticing they posses it or else try as they may never succeed in making use of it

Chopper’s Monster Point is of Giant size but Recovery and Durability can not be realized because this form is currently for a limited time of 3 minutes only
It is safe to assume that the Rumble Ball allows Chopper to forcibly enter his awakened form for a limited amount of time

PART 3: Prediction: Haki Pill​

Chopper soon invents (or has invented throughout the 2 years time skip) a pill which grants the subject instant, yet time-limited, full mastery of Observation and Armament Haki
He will use this epic power either in the chaos and battles of this bloody red wedding (this arc) or the next arc in the Throne Wars
