Raftel is the island at the end of the Grand Line which supposedly holds the treasure One Piece. This theory is about things we can expect in Raftel arc
Design of Raftel
Raftel is formed by using two words: Raft meaning something used as a boator floating platform and El which is a nickname for elevated railway system.
In Water 7 we see a panel were iceburg mentions to franky that he intends to make whole Water 7 float like a ship
Similar kinda thing was done in Thriller Bark where the whole island was turned into a ship , I believe same thing was done in case of Raftel which is why it’s a floating island
We may also find railway tracks similar to Skypiea and Water 7 to keep the island afloat or something like that
The Mysterious Egg
Many of you aware that Gol D Roger had a mysterious egg on his ship for those who don’t know here it is
Monkey D Luffy’s character was inspired from Son Goku from Dragonball series as mentioned Oda himself, Son Goku who in turn was inspired from Sun Wukong
Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a mythological figure who features in a body of legends, which can be traced back to the period of the Song dynasty. He appears as a main character in the 16th century Chinese classical novel Journey to the West.
According to the legend, Sun Wukong is born from a magic stone that sits atop the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. The stone develops a magic womb, which bursts open one day to produce a stone egg about the size of a ball.When wind blows on the egg, it turns into a stone monkey that can already crawl and walk.
I believe this mysterious egg maybe inspired from legends of Sun Wukong of course it’s a chance that Roger may have left the egg for his successor which leads us to next point
Song of the Island
Tuatha Dé Danann many of u might have heard of it in any theories let’s have a quick summary
The Tuath
Dé Danann usually translated as “people(s)/tribe(s) of the goddess Danu”, also known by the earlier name Tuath Dé (“tribe of the gods”),are a supernatural race in Irish mythology. They represented as a potential suspects for clan of D by many theorists while that may or may not be the case in this theory let’s take a look at 1 of 4 magical treasures of the mythology which is
The Lia Fáil ( meaning Stone of Destiny) is a stone at the Inauguration Mound (Irish: an Forrad) on the Hill of Tara in County Meath, Ireland, which served as the coronation stone for the High Kings of Ireland. It is also known as the Coronation Stone of TaraIn legend, all of the kings of Ireland were crowned on the stone up to Muirchertach mac Ercae c. AD 500.
The Lia Fáil was thought to be magical: when the rightful High King of Ireland put his feet on it, the stone was said to roar in joy.The stone is also credited with the power to rejuvenate the king and also to endow him with a long reign.
I always wondered how will whole world know if Luffy becomes pirate king or how they knew when Roger became the pirate king it’s not that they called a press conference to announce it, according to Irish legend when true king touch’s the lia fail it roars in joy as song of island
This was actually foreshadowed in Skypiea arc when Luffy rang the bell and. The Island and below in jaya also it was heard the ring of bell .plus this stone will prove that Luffy is one true pirate king after Roger
The Treasure of Gol D Roger
At execution platform Roger said ” if you want my treasure then take it I left it there ”
Most people assume that treasure which Roger obtained was originally from Raftel, while this partially right it’s wrong also as even before Roger reached Raftel he was a big time pirate alongside Whitebeard and Shikki etc.. he should have his own treasure comparable to them and I believe he left it in Raftel along with the One Piece for his successor in his ship the Oro Jackson which might a reference to Lost Treasure OF THE SAN MIGUEL
The San Miguel, a Nao class vessel, has yet to be found and is believed to have separated from the fleet the day before the storm struck. Carracks are lighter than Galleons and were often used to carry treasure as they stood a greater chance of outrunning storms and privateers. The objective, after all, was to get the treasure home. This could mean that the San Miguel is actually one of the richest treasure ships yet to be found.
Hall Of Fame
Cemetery and grave are not a rare sight in One Piece, we had seen them in:
-East blue – Bellmere’s grave [arlong park]
-Grandline(1st half ) – Rumbar Pirates grave [thriller bark]
-And New World – Whitebeard and Ace
Hence I believe that Raftel final stop of grandline has also the grave of Joy Boy and his allies/nakamas and there story written on Poneglyph henceforth giving Robin the Rio Poneglyph and data of what happened in Void Century and so called secret of world which Roger pirates found
