In this theory I shall discus this topics:
- The Celestial Dragons or World Nobles and their absolute power.
- The Gorosei and their military dictatorship.
- The World Kingdoms and their vassal or feudatory system to the Celestials.
- The presence of Revolutionaries.
This will be a parallel between different things and well history and stuff….. ._. hope you don’t get bored by this small theory. Let’s say it’s an analysis.
The Celestial Dragons
As we all know the Word Noble are descendants of 19 monarchs that established what today is known as World government. They are practically the rulers of the One Piece world, and because of that they can do whatever they want with out suffering any consequences.
This way of “governing” is very similar to that of the Absolute monarchy, for those that don’t know what it is :
Basically the king has all the power in his hands and can decide everything even the death of people. To justify this the monarchs said their power derives directly from God so they have divine power. In particular the way the Celestial are more similar to the Absolute monarchs of France.
- The world nobles have the right to do and decide what ever they want similar to the way absolute monarchs acted like the famous Sun King: Louis XIV (he could not kill people on the streets like the world nobles do but he had the right to give people that he consider guilty the Death penalty) the person that re-introduced this type of government and inspired the other monarchs.
- The celestial nobles all live in the same place Holy Land Mariejois that resemblance the Château de Chambord. It’s an other castle, Versailles, that is more important, because it was here where all the nobility lived thanks to Louis XIV so that he could keep on eye on them.
- The world nobles are referees as Saints to indicate their power and right, probably, to explain their actions. A saint is some one hows power derive from God similar to the justification of the Absolute monarchs.
What I’m trying to say is that World nobles power is inspired by that of the Absolute monarchy.
The Gorosei
They as we all know are the heads of the World goverment created by the 19 kings and the facto rulers of the world. Because of their power over the entire military organism they are from my point of view they are in a form of military Dictatorship.
This description suit with the Five Elder Star when we think about them. As we saw the World Nobles are not interested in ruling and only care about their Tribute, so I believe if the Gorosei are really as old as many say that they took over the World Government thanks to their military power and fame, because they had enough of the incompetence of The Celestials. Even if they are not immortal the tittle of gorosei might have been passed down to other that suited the role. I’ll go as far and say they are the first revos that did something similar to a cup d’ete and reached power, but still maintained the celestials.
The World Kingdoms
As we saw with Doffy in Dressrosa the Kingdoms of the 19 kings where given to other nobles and in change they have to pay a tribute called the Heavenly Tribute. This type of treatment is very similar to that of vassal that has to give support financially and military and he can administrate the territory as he wishes he can add new taxes to that of his King already has on the territory.
This type of administration is very medieval and nothing stops other kingdoms attack others the only rule as we saw is that they have to pay the Heavenly Tribute and if not payed terrible things might happen.
The Revolutionaries’ role
As you have understood the World Government has a very medieval type of administration with absolutist nobles and vassal like kingdoms so a change must occur and that chance must be done by the revolutionaries. As many might know Dragon was born on the 5th of October same date as the October Revolution in Russia. With this Revolution the last Absolutist Monarchy, the Russian Empire, was taken down, but they will not follow the communist ideals like happen in Russia.
As I said in the Celestial part they are inspired by the French ideals of absolutism the same that inspired the other Monarchs to adopted it in their countries. France was in fact the first absolute monarchy to fall by the hands of the revolutionaries. I believe that Dragon and his will use the same modern ideals from the French Revolution to change this medieval world .
The Revos are in fact the embodiment of all real live revolution that brought down all the totalitarianism regimes.
Conclusion
The WG is a medieval institution and it’s system includes absolutism, feudalism ruled by the Gorosei and it’s the Revolutionaries duty to bring them down and establish modern ideals like human right and equality.
