Discussion The Inherited Will

[JP_Russell]

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Wow. That's some amazing work. The degree of extrapolation you've gone to in your theories with the evidence available is equivalent to what would normally qualify for gross speculation, but you've put the pieces together in such a way that makes so much sense that I can't imagine you're very far off, if not right on the money.

I think you may actually have just made One Piece more exciting for me. The whole "One Piece" concept has always been so ephemeral to me that I didn't really have any clear idea what it was Oda was trying to build up to (which I guess has been holding my engagement in the story back more than I realized), but as others have pointed out, you've managed to actually turn all the references dropped piecemeal throughout the manga into something material. Now I have an outline for a very plausible direction for the story that sounds full of intrigue and emotion the likes of which we haven't seen in the manga yet. I for one will be rooting for your predictions.

By the way, your grasp of English and how to communicate with it is genuinely very good - no need to qualify it. You practically write like you were raised in a Western country, so I doubt anyone would ever have trouble understanding you.

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Your post and theories were such an enjoyable read, I even paused my music to enjoy it. I think many people had thoughts on a few things you mentioned there but not assembled or tried to relate them as such. For example I had always thought about the destruction of the Red Line but nothing beyond that; not even the repercussions or reasons for it. The stuff on all blue were all such new innovative ideas, I'd never heard anyone present such factual and well explained hypothesis on it before.

With that said, there's one thing I wanted to bring up, that immediately caught my attention; the ancient weapons and particularly Poseidon. You say that:

And So they made this project, an insane one, but has to be done. The project was about eliminating the Red Line and Grand Line to fuse the 4 seas into one big ocean, the united ocean. The called it the project of “One Piece”. In order to do so, they started to build some weapons which will be strong enough to destroy the red line (later called Ancient Weapons)

From the story though, we know that Poseidon (at least) is a living weapon and her power is an inherited ability passed down from Merfolk; more specifically the Ryuguu Kingdom's bloodline every century or so. To tie it in with your theory about Joy Boy being the king of AK, from their close relationship he knew of the level ability she had and maybe she had made a promise to also help him with her power if she needed it? and he'd written down the location of this "weapon" should a man who has inherited his will ever need to use it to achieve his dream. Now this is all just a random and quick thought that I welcome elaboration, but I just wanted to jot it down here before it escaped me.

To tie it in with your theory about Joy Boy being the king of AK, from their close relationship he knew of the level ability she had and maybe she had made a promise to also help him with her power if she needed it?

that's what I thought too. that's why I added this line to the theory
V

The Poseidon has fully taken control of the sea king and make them some kind of ‘police’ of the ocean to prevent other sea monsters from going wild. (yes I do think this is very possible)

there are probably more... I mean, there would be a lot of good things you can do if you can actually control the sea kings.


==============================================


anyway, the theory still leaves a lot of unexplainable stuff so I want to add more related theories

The Importance of "Raftel"

Spoiler

So why no one could reach it except Roger pirates?

Let's get back to chapter 301, read carefully...

Spoiler

Spoiler

Spoiler

Spoiler

now look at the last page, "this also means I must follow the guidance given by the tablets I have read so far... to the ending point of Grand Line, Raftel!!"

I think Robin implied that the poneglyphs held 'the key' to Raftel. In other words, Raftel couldn't be reached by any ordinary mean. The only way to get there lies on poneglyph, and you must read all of them (it would be some sort of jigsaw puzzle if you ask me. you have to collect them all and rearrange them to get the big picture.)


That's why not a single soul could reach it since Roger, because none of them are able to dechiper the texts.


so what's the deal with Raftel? What lies in there must be the final piece of the true history, as well as the trigger of "the big war" that epicbeard was talking about. well, at least that's how I see it.

Joy Boy = The King of Ancient Kingdom??

Spoiler

some theories around were based on real life references, this will be one of them. It’s not mine though, it’s my friend’s at local one piece forum. His username is BonneySHP11st, so all the credits goes to him.


So,

In my homeland's history --Indonesian’s history-- there was once stood a hindu kingdom named The Kingdom of Kediri. The kingdom was pretty known here, particularly because we study about it in high school.

Apparently, the kingdom has some paralell similarites with the ancient kingdom in One Piece. Here they are :

1. The kingdom ruled over the eastern javanese from AD 1042 to 1222. It reached its golden age from AD1130-1160 under the reign of its most known king. <- AD 1130 - 1160. that’s approximately 900-800 years ago.

2.The kingdom was remarkable for its well-known prophecy. It basically predicted the downfall of the kingdom, as well as the downfall of Indonesian’s archipelago to white and yellow race foreigners, then be glorious once again. The prophecy turned out to be true. <- not sure about this, but I think you can relate it to “the promised day” and shyarly’s prediction.

3.They left out 3 historical epigraphs, mainly tell about a big war beetween Pandawa and Kurawa clans <- you can relate it to poneglyphs and the war between the AK and 20 kingdoms


Despite the similaraities, they could be mere coincidence. I mean, it’s not like Kediri was the only kingdom in the world which ruled around that time, nor it’s the only kingdom that left out epigraphs and prophecy. The similarities were not really that convincing either…


However, the name of its most known king, it’s the one that strike me the most. His name was King Joyoboyo.


when you first heard about “Joy Boy” did it ring any bell for you? I bet it didn’t. I mean, did the name sound so random, lol.(There was a thought about Joy Boy being an okama name but that couldn’t be serious.)

Reference wise, I didn’t recall anyone managed to find a real person named Joy Boy or anything close to that who might be related… well, until my friend posted this theory.


Kediri and king Joyoboyo have been quite known here, though I believe very few foreigners know about it. However Oda is genius and unexpectable when it comes to using reference, so this might be plausible.


P.S : you can find informations about Joyoboyo on wiki

The Name of The Kingdom Is...

Spoiler

The AK, did they really extinct from history?

In Robin’s flashback

Spoiler

Spoiler

Clover was about to reveal the kingdom’s name when he was shot by Spandine.

you know, It always seems a bit odd to me that gorosei felt threaten by revelation of the name alone. But it could means one thing : the kingdom is actually still exist until now. Gorosei are awared that people could recognize the name. Or even us readers could recognize it for that matter.

if the later was true, it means the kingdom name was mentioned somewhere before the W7 arc… let’s see, we have Arabasta, Drum, Shandora, and probably Raftel (it could be a kingdom’s name)

Beetwen the four, which one of them could be the AK? Apparently, some facts about Shandora match the description of AK the most. let's see :

1. Shandora was collapsed 800 years ago after a big war with certain enemy (the AK was collapsed at that time as well)


2. Judging by the ancient picture of Bilca on the moon, the origin of Shandora, they apparently had an advanced-civilization with all that futuristic stuff (just like how Clover pictured the AK)


3.Shandora was once a prosperous kingdom 1000 years ago (the fact was written on one of the ancient texts in skypiea, I forgot what chapter though)


In additon, out of all poneglyph that Robin has found so far, only the shandorian poneglyph has Roger’s note on it. Despite its place which was so out of reach compared to other poneglyphs, Roger decided to leave his massage there. It must be special right?

What I’m trying to say is, the AK could be none other than Shandora kingdom.


okay, this one is a bit farfetched but you can at least see the connection there. Need more clue on this one... but assuming both this and Joy Boy = king of AK theory were true, then Joy Boy was definitely one of the Shandora people.

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Ok, in the future, when we will reach those chapters in which those revelations take place, I will have to make an aditional effort to remember what was cannon facts, and what was wirtten by you here. Because what you wrote is really believable in regars to what we know about OP. Thanks for writing those predictions. They are very enjoyable.

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

3.They left out 3 historical epigraphs, mainly tell about a big war beetween Pandawa and Kurawa clans <- you can relate it to poneglyphs and the war between the AK and 20 kingdoms

i like to say something about it
as I/WE know about Pandawa and Kurawa is that they r part of Indian history
Pandawa's r son's of younger brother and Kurawa's r son's of older brothers
Pandawa's r 5 brothers and Kurawa's r 100 brothers
Pandawa and Kurawa had dice game and pandawa's lost everything even themselves (i dont know its right word or not but i hope u guys understand)
to return every thing to pandawa's is they are required to go into exile for 12 years, and in the 13th year must remain hidden. If discovered by the Kauravas, they will be forced into exile for another 12 years.
The Pandavas spend thirteen years in exile; many adventures occur during this time. They also prepare alliances for a possible future conflict. They spend their final year in disguise in the court of Virata, and are discovered just after the end of the year.
At the end of their exile, they try to negotiate a return to Indraprastha. However, this fails, as Duryodhana objects that they were discovered while in hiding, and that no return of their kingdom was agreed. War becomes inevitable.

Pandawa = Kurawa
5 = 100
AK = WG
1 = 20​

as pandawa's lost dice game AK lost war 800 years ago or 400 years ago (i said 400 to thinking AK is Shandora)

as Pandawa's required to go into exile for 12 years, and in the 13th year must remain hidden (shandora left land and go in air 400 years ago and about hidden very few people know about it)

about their return and war (just say return = one piece and when luffy find one piece we know there will be war).

about Pandawa and Kurawa war in this war both sides summon vast armies to their help and line up at Kurukshetra for a war
i think in final one piece war dragon and his army , some pirates and other good guys will come to help luffy
about other side till now we know marines (akainu's team) is part of WG so in final war WG will enter with full force

there is one similarity between pandawa and SH
pandawa's leader Yudhisthira and SH captain luffy didnt lie

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

this is my theory of One Piece too, i post it to mangastream before, but unfortunately the forum was gone.
I post it before Shirahoshi (Poseidon) came,.


But, what do you think of the Revolutionary Army role here, is Dragon after the One Piece too?
Dragon's plan is to unite kingdoms against the World Government because he knows that something is wrong of what the World Government doing.
but do you think it is possible that Dragon looked for One Piece too? and didn't succeed so he built a Revolutionary Army instead?

Pretty goddamn nice find. That just added another strength to the theory. I always wonder though if Oda would really dig this deep for a reference.

well, there must be a reason why Dragon appeared along the 'golden pattern' I was speaking about.

If you ask me, this guy probably have discovered everything.

Can't tell how he did it though, unless he has some poneglyph experts or he could actually dechiper the texts by himself.

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Shandora is the name of the golden town in Jaya Island, and also Desert and River in the Alabasta (I'm not sure the name is perfectly the same, but "Shandora" and Sandora.. ).
Both have poneglyph, which showing the location of Ancient Weapon.
Both had kingdom in the past.
Both protect the poneglyph and keep it carefully, from generation to generation.

I think we can assume that Alabasta and Jaya once also the part of this "Shandora Kingdom"?

true that.

however, for some reason, I think the similiraty was pure coincidence. Would be great though if they're actually connected.

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

You're theory is amazing, I'm pretty sure thats how it will end, altho I would like to point out something.

About the conflict between AK and WG, they had 800 years, the WG is pretty clever, They could have manipulated the thoughts of people to a point where they could make the AK look like the bad guys and thus have no problem, WHY then is the WG even terrified about anyone finding anything about the AK.

I was just thinking, our world currently, has experienced countless wars, America killed millions of people in Japan with nuclear bombs, yet they somehow managed to forgive and accept the fact, America has a debt of 13 trillion dollars, I don't think you can even imagine how much money that is, yet it still doesn't have that much of a value.

However there is one thing, that even 300 years from now, country still don't forgive one an other, and probably never will, you know what? Genocide.

What I believe is that The WG completely hunted down, anyone related to the AK, if the world population came to know about this, the WG would lose all their credit, the marines as well, and it would just cause revolution and civil wars.

So did anyone from the AK survive, you mentioned this somewhere, the AK are none other then .... The D's, yep, they survived extinction, yet there is an incredible low amount of them. What hit me as well, is besides being extremely advanced, the D's where extremely nice and caring people, if you notice till now, thats why white beards mention that BB is not a D, makes sense, he's not one of them.

That is my theory at least. ^^

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Dude that's a very interesting theory and it totally sounds right to me, even if no one can predict Oda's way of thinking :P

I'll add a point : WG was initially located on Marijoa, one of the two "needed-to-be-destroyed-area" and couldn't accept the idea of One Piece because it would have make them lost their strategic situation (both controlling first and second half of Grand Line, the plan that they are still accomplishing today). That's the beginning of the war, and we know who won it.
Luffy will not destroy the Mermaid Island but Marijoa and the part of Redline concerned, covering with hudge rocks the Fishmen Island. I think Luffy will probably ask the Fishmen to move because his doings will make it being destroyed.

I never though about destroying reverse Mountain, but that's a really good idea, with the link to freedom and travelling around the oceans freely.

Dragon may know about One Piece, or Luffy will convice him for sure. And not only him :

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Very well written theory, lots of information.

But, as much as I like this work and think it's very likely to be right, I don't like the idea of Grand Line being destroyed and the climatic chaos ending.

The world of One Piece is so unique, full of incredibly interesting islands and people, because of the isolation of the places given the crazy climate and the Grand Line existance.

I have nothing to add... all I can say is you deserve all the accolades you get for coming up with this theory... you must've chatted up Oda... lol

 

[Azuma]

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Parts of this theory don't really make sense to me.

800 years has passed, a pirate named Roger sucessfully reach Raftel and discovered the true history. He knows exactly what to do, but unfortunately his body didn’t allow him to… he had this incurable disease, remember? whereas the project needs a lot of power and time to complete, 2 things that Roger didn’t have that time.

Therefore, he decided to create The Golden Age of Piracy instead, hoping that there will appear someone who is strong and righteous enough to complete the massage in his place.

This assumes that Gol D. Roger had a full understanding of the Void Century but couldn't fulfill it because of his illness/no Poseidon. However, Rayleigh himself said that there's a chance they interpreted the events incorrectly due to a lack of insight. Your theory is based on a rather straightforward concept and I don't see how they could've misinterpreted the writings if all there is to it is to destroy the reverse mountain. It seems rather straightforward to me.

Secondly, what exactly makes you think that Roger, or Luffy for that matter, would even be interested in carrying out this plan? To me, a large part of the theory is based on the assumption that anyone who learns the truth automatically wants to work towards it. I don't see Luffy actually trying to execute the plan (nor do I believe that something like this would be his dream). Why? Because Rayleigh sure as hell doesn't seem to have any plans of doing so himself. If Roger 'knows exactly what to do' then so does Rayleigh. If it is indeed such an appealing thing, why doesn't Rayleigh at least try? Instead, he's living carefree in Sabaody Archipelago. Let's not forget about Whitebeard who most likely knew what One Piece is since he proclaimed that it is real. He could've carried out the so-called plan too, yet he didn't do that either.

Also, I don't really see why the Ancient Weapons would be needed. One Piece characters can be extremely powerful. A fight between Aokiji and Akainu ended up permanently altering an island's climate. I don't see why Akainu or Aokiji couldn't simply destroy a mountain by themselves.

Another thing that I believe is incorrect is this part:

Like a said, destroying both reverse mountain and fishman island is a must to complet the project. Therefore, King Joy Boy made a proposal of destroying FI to the former mermaid princess, Poseidon. She agreed but as an exchange she asked Joy Boy to move her people to a better place on the surface. Joy Boy gave a nod and started building Noah Arc afterwards.

Joy Boy managed to finish Noah but short after his kingdom lost a great battle against the 20 kingdoms. The promised cannot be fullfilled and he apoligized to Poseidon through poneglyph. However he still promised her “that day” would eventually come in the future, the day when fishmen and mermen live under the sun.

In other words, what you're saying is that the Noah was more or less a device that was going to be used to evacuate the citizens of Fishman Island. Now, if the Noah were to be destroyed the only losers would be the citizens of Fishman Island. If so, then why did Neptune feel the need to apologize to Joy Boy while the Noah was being destroyed? That seems rather contradictory with your theory since Neptune says something along the lines of 'I'm sorry Joy Boy but saving the lives of the citizens comes first'. Your so-called project could still very well have been carried out without the Noah and if that were the case, all the citizens of Fishman Island would die. The apology seems out of place if your theory holds true.

You're also saying that the Ancient Weapons were created for the sole purpose of carrying out the 'One Piece Project'. But keep in mind that Poseidon, at least, isn't something that is simply created.

Lastly, if the whole point of getting to Raftel is to learn about the Void Century and being told to get ahold of the ancient weapons and use them to destroy the Reverse Mountain, then why not simply write that in all of the Poneglyphs? It seems rather stupid to me to have someone read all of the Poneglyphs just to get to Raftel, and then read the Poneglyph there to find out the truth. It would've been a whole lot to simply skip out on Raftel as a whole.

EDIT: I would also just like to say that I feel like your theory would mess up the dynamic of One Piece. So far, everything has suggested that One Piece would end upon Luffy getting to Raftel and finding the actual treasure. For there to be another arc after that, a much more important one too, somehow seems anti-climactic.

I think that Madame Shirley's prediction was only partially true. My guess is that Big Mom would target the Fishman Island as a future retaliation against Luffy and thereby, its' destruction would indirectly be caused by Luffy.

 

[Sproumfch]

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

@Azuma :
Your first point is for me not as deep as it can : Roger died trying -succefully- to create a Pirate area. And it totally fits with this theory : he knew all the story and wanted to make pirates go on the Ocean and discover the One Piece, and its proposals.
The point about Rayleigh is also linked to the making of the One piece project being real: he trained Luffy whose dream is to become the PK, and so helped him in his destiny. All the stuff around Luffy is making him the Pirate King ; and Rayleigh being on Shabony is the same as Dragon at Logue Town. Except the fact that Dragon may not know for what the D's are fighting for, freedom (and so an one pieced world).
And for that, some people let them be and live to help this dream, even if they are not sure about this.
About Luffy carriyng these plans, I do think that this theory, if it is it, will be delivered with a background, making Luffy wanting it be.
And all this :

Sanji -> it's obvious, he finally found the All Blue

Nami -> now that the entire ocean is free to sail, drawing world map is not so impossible anymore

Franky -> same reason with Nami, Sunny now can travel all over the world

Robin -> all of this happened because she found out the true history

Brook -> Ever wonder how Brook will return to the Twin Cape to meet Laboon? It seems impossible because the reverse mountain was in the way. But now, it’s GONE! They’ll meet again with ease, Bink’s Sake will be played along their emotional reunion. It will be a perfect moment.


How do you think??[/spoiler]

About Job Boy, we are not really aware of him. BUT, he left to the Royal family a mission for Noa, apparently keeping it on state until the Promised Day ( we may expect the day when the Fishman Race will rise to the surface), and the King failed in this mission. So he apologized. That's all. I think he's too much shocked to think about his people in a way (he was going to die a little bit earlier).
The second point is that Luffy will destroy the Island, madame Shirly's predictions' never got wrong. Will it be because of big mom or because of this theory, or anything else, we just can speculate. But it's underwater, how can a DF user destroy a such hudge thing?
So, the point is that Luffy will came and tell his Fishman friends to get in the boat because he will destroy the Island by making a hudge hole in the Redline, at Marijoa's point.
Marijoa, which will be destroyed by the Mugis for
1) Avenge all the Tenrubito's victims and defeat the World Governement
2) Fulfill One Piece and free all the Oceans.


And your point about OP ending when Luffy finishes Raftel is normal, everyone though about this. But Oda never makes think happens as we expected.
And Luffy still have to make the world tour again (read the chapiters, you'll know why :P), so this really isn't finished. The New World is only the main course and the rest was appetizers (I do hope so).

Still in fond of this theory :P

 

[Azuma]

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

It doesn't matter if Rayleigh trained Luffy or not. At least a whole decade passed between the time Roger died and Rayleigh met Luffy. During that period of time, it seems like he was simply living a completely care-free life. I find it strange that he would simply stop caring about said project for at least 10 years if it is mind-blowing enough to cause anyone who reads it to do a complete 180 and dedicate his/her life to it and it alone. Gol D. Roger must have been an expert on human nature since he, according to you, knew exactly how to create an Age of Pirates.

As for Joy Boy, the whole ordeal sounds like the purpose of Noah was to do something which would directly benefit Joy Boy, with the help of Poseidon. That is more in line with Neptune's apology. So it makes no sense that this would simply be to use Noah to evacuate the citizens of Fishman Island. Why can't they simply swim away on their own? We've seen Camie and Papagg do it. Fisher Tiger and his crew most likely did that too. So why would the Noah be needed all of a sudden?

Also, the question still stands. What would make Gol D. Roger or Luffy that interested in pursuing the plan? Is it some kind of spell that they are put under? I find it extremely improbable that they'd read a Poneglyph and all of a sudden decide to dedicate their lives to that project. Luffy and Gol D. Roger both wanted to be the Pirate Kings because of the complete freedom it entails. Trying to gather the Ancient Weapons and be the ones to turn all oceans into one would involve a lot of responsibility. It is, in other words, against Luffy's wishes to live a care-free life on his own terms.

And once again, I don't even see the point of using the Ancient Weapons. I'm sure that Luffy or Zoro could destroy a mountain by themselves if they really tried.

To be honest, I don't even see why the Fishman Island should be destroyed. It's 10 000m below the surface and it should therefore be irrelevant when discussing the climate on the surface seeing as it probably has no effect on it from that distance.

The most fundamental flaw in the theory though is why the WG would be opposed to such an idea. What exactly do they have to lose? All you've stated is simply 'well you know.. politics'. On the contrary, they would have a lot to gain from such an event.

 

[Kukriblades]

Re: The Inherited Will, "One Piece"

Secondly, what exactly makes you think that Roger, or Luffy for that matter, would even be interested in carrying out this plan? To me, a large part of the theory is based on the assumption that anyone who learns the truth automatically wants to work towards it.

He probably will do it for a completely different reason. That's the way Luffy's mind works all these times, right?


Anyway, I'm aware of the fundamental flaw and I admit that a lot of stuff mentioned here were mostly speculations. however, I want to empashize that the main idea behind this theory lies on the 'free ocean' itself.

The main goal of the series is about Luffy and co achieving their dreams. You noticed that most of their dreams are very sea-related. Luffy wants to be the pirate king aka the man with the most freedom in the whole sea; Franky wants to sail his vey own ship around the world's ocean ; Sanji wants to find the legendary sea; Nami wants to draw a world map -- which mean she shares the same goal with franky, she must travel all over the ocean ; Brook promised to meet Labon, he also must travel across the ocean for that.

You see that their goals suggest the freedom of sailing, which wasn't very supported by current geography of OPsphere.

I want to particulary focus on Brook’s goal. Logically, it will happen at the very last point of the story for it’s the official mark where Luffy has completely circled the Grand Line and New World. And when it happens, we readers definitely want it happens with a bang. So there comes the idea of Red Line destruction, the reunion will happen with a bang (literally).

The motive of the destruction might be totally different from the one I initially mentioned, but it could still happen for the sake of creating a ‘free ocean’, completing Strawhats’ dreams, and executing a memorable ending (with a bang).


--


Oh well, I know all these arguments ddidn’t sound convincing enough… how I wish we have more clues and facts on this (the main purpose of the story). I mean it's been 700 chapters and there were almost none for god sake (sometimes I hate Oda for this). The only thing I could say for now, just watch the theory evolving --or dying-- as the story progress.


P.S : the school of island whales which appeared at the New World’s entrance, they had these similar scars with Laboon, right? That scene passed by like it has no importance… But I assure you it will play greater parts of the story (probably much) later. It will tie to this theory as well.
