Discussion The "Blank/Void Century"

[Dark Zeza]

Re: void century

Rio Poneglyph (I spelled that wrong previously ) is likely to contain the True History of the Void Century. Well, Robin said that she must follow all the Poneglyph to the end of GL (Raftel) after she read that Jaya Poneglyph on Skypiea. It is presumed that the Rio Poneglyph indeed contains the 100 years that lost in the Void Century and Roger has carried the Poneglyph to Raftel during his conquest.

Oh, and I think that the one in Jaya and Alabasta is two of the Rio poneglyph (I called it real poneglyph though). I thought Roger just carried the word to Raftel and left the poneglyph behind.

Well I think that the enemy of that great civlization was the Gorōsei

The 'Blank Century' what really is it

Also referred to as the Void Century or the Blank Page of History, this is the period 800 years ago when a great civilization dominated the world and then at the end of the century they disappeared. At the end of the century the World Government came to power and censored everything that happened in the previous 100 years.

This period became known as the blank century because there is nothing left to acknowledge anything whatever happened during that time. The only surviving written accounts of the events of the Blank Century are on the Rio Poneglyph. This has prompted historians to search far and wide for the Rio Poneglyph. However, the World Government is desperate to keep the Blank Century a secret; they've obliterated entire islands to kill the archaeologists capable of deciphering the poneglyphs, and when eight-year-old Nico Robin escaped one such assault, the World Government responded by putting a 79-Million-Berry bounty on her head. These harsh actions have led many to assume that the true history of the Blank Century contains information which puts the World Government in severely bad light.

Finding the true history of the Blank Century is Robin's dream.


do u guys think we will find out what happened during the blank century

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

Yeah, I should hope so. Probably in the very end when they're facing the WG as a whole, they'll learn how evil it truly is, and then they'll just kick the ass of whoever the main villain is.

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

I am thinking the gorosei whom have always killed off people whom knew about the poneglyph were once part of that ancient civilization. Maybe the descendent's whom betrayed and tried to rule the world or something. As usual just guessing that the D family are also part of that ancient civilization. The random protectors or the ones that cause the most trouble anyways.

I never thought of that it makes You think how they got to power in there position and are they strong.

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

I personally think that all D's are decedents from the ancients. Probably thats why Gol D Roger could read the ancients language. Another thing i really hope Oda tells us why the hell the government dogs were able to capture Roger. ;;

Well...impel has some other hobbies then typing in this forum, too

Anyways..i think these years explain the rise of the world government, the role of the D family, the goal of revolutioners (i think they found out the truth) and of course gol d. rogers aims and why he got captured. but we have to wait a long time until we find out, because this will definitly lead the way into the final fight with the hardest villians (those 5 old geezers, the admirals, and so on). i think it will revealed if luffy meets dragon and his followers. then they will fight togetehr against the wg (luffy is alraedy the enemy number 1 for the wg. especially after enies lobby)

Luffy is not the No. 1 enemy of the World Government, that position still belongs to Dragon followed probably by the Yonkou. And I don't think Luffy and Dragon are going to join forces since they have their own ideals. Luffy doesn't really care about the WG, he and the other Strawhats just want to fulfill their dreams and if the WG gets in their way then they'll just have to kick it's ass.

On the Blank Century, I am of the same opinion as the others that the D's have something to do with the ancient civilization. As to how, I do not know...

 

[Impel Down]

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

I don't think that they're really involved with it, but the family is related to the aftermath of the Blank Century.

And it's true: Luffy is not the WG's biggest problem. They focus on bigger things, like the Yonkou, the Revolutionaries, BB. It's like they're making dinner and the SHs are the bratty little kid who keeps bothering them until they give him a cookie to leave them alone.

Said perfectly, especially the last two sentences. I think that we'll definitely find out about the Void Century. To do that is Robin's dream, and if Skypiea was any indication, that WILL affect some future arc of One Piece. Oda-sensei wouldn't have put all those hints about the World Government and the ancient civilization if he didn't intend to do something with it. I'm almost sure that the knowledge of what happened during the Void Century will affect the final few confrontations in One Piece. And I like the idea of the D's having something to do with the Void Century, I hadn't thought of that, but it's good... Hm, maybe Dragon knows some of what happened, and that's why he started the revolution. Maybe he can read Poneglyphs too, or he may just have heard some rumors and old stories. Old stories are a good source of information in the Grand Line, the story of Montblanc Norland being proof. There might be an old story somewhere that tells something of what happened in the Void Century, and Dragon read it or heard it somehow.

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

of course. if there isnt there would be no point in having robin join the crew, besides being the obkect of sanji and all of us boys affections.

 

[Impel Down]

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

Everyone has a role in the crew, so of course she has to be able to do something, not just break Marines' necks. But yeah, her primary use is reading Poneglyphs. But then again, Nami's primary use is navigation, and Sanji's primary use is cooking, so on, so forth.

 

[matrice]

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

They have to discover the secret of the black century: it's Robin's dream, and probably when they will found the One Piece they will find that too, since Gold D: Roger has wrote something like thet in the poneglift in Skypiea.

 

[Impel Down]

Re: The 'Blank Century' what really is it

I imagine he read it, although I dunno if he'd really care. After all, Kokoro said he was stupid like Luffy, and Luffy doesn't even care about the Revolutionaries or the WG!

But yeah, of course they WILL discover it. All the dreams have to be fulfilled!

Re: The 'Blank/Void Century' what really is it?

im glad my tread is merged with another one bigger discussion

 

[omniscientone]

Re: The 'Blank/Void Century' what really is it?

Btw, the poneglyph shown in Arabasta, where Luffy and Zoro fall down, that episode is a filler, so I doubt that poneglyph will come into the story again anywhere..

 

[Impel Down]

Re: The 'Blank/Void Century' what really is it?

Yeah, and they didn't even translate it or anything, so I doubt it would have helped them anyway. But it IS filler, so we can't really say that it will do...anything.

Void History

I just finshed wacthing all the OP episodes, man i sware to god this is the only anime that can bring tears to my eyes with laughter and sadness.

Any way wut i wanted to say is that does anyone remember during the Alabasta arc when Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper were lost in the dessert? Well i remember them finding a underground ruin with a Poneglyphs stone and of course the idiots dont even know wut it is even after Robin joins there crew they never bring it up. I also remember during the Alabasta arc that robin askes the king if there are any other Poneglyphs stones besides the one he lead her to, and he said no. So now I'm wondering what if that stone that those 3 idiots discorved is the stone that tells about the lost history? @.@

Just wanted to know of you guys Op's about this? x.x

Re: Viod History

This was an anime filler episode with no relation to the manga whatsoever. Therefore, it counts for nothing. Ignore it, it was merely there to take up space.
