What do you think One piece is?

[bittman]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

Hahahahahahahaha, etc.

Though already proven wrong, I'll say this: the One Piece will not just be knowledge. If it's knowledge, do you think Luffy will come out and say "OH GUYS THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!!" ? The ultimate One Piece dream is that the treasure includes something for everybody. I doubt Oda will actually lead us on about what is there and I do expect everything of worth to be in that lovely pile.

I also know many historical stories of great treasures being those which are added to over time. If you've seen National Treasure, that's the premise I'm getting at. I believe the One Piece is exactly that, and that it was not just what Roger collected, but what was collected over the ages.

Makes it more romantic that way rather than thinking of one guy with a massive ship full of gold, women, meat and large stone tablets.

One Piece: knowledge (lost kingdom, location of the antiquity weapons), Gold (berry), Logbook of Roger, Rio Poneglyph and maybe the Oru Jackson

I expect, One Piece consists various things.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

IMO, One Piece is one of three things:

1) One of the two super-weapons of the world Pluton or Posseidon.

2) The intimate knowledge of the world. Perhaps that the world of One Piece was once our world and through some major catastrophe became the world seen in the manga.

3) A hat or singular article that held sentimental value to Gol D. Roger and his crew. It could be something that if anyone were to see, they'd know it once belonged to Roger. If this option isn't it, it'll probably be what Luffy makes into One Piece once he finds the original (i/e his straw hat.)

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

Well if every strawhat was to get their wish:

* Luffy - I agree with the "sentimental value to Roger"
* Zoro - The greatest sword (whatever is ranked #1 of the top 21)
* Sanji - All Blue
* Nami - World Map + Berri
* Usopp - Something that may prove his heroism? To me, any object from the One Piece would be enough for this.
* Chopper - Some sort of cure-all or ancient medical books
* Robin - True History
* Franky - Oro Jackson
* Brooke - Nothing, simply that he is half a step away from Laboon. Maybe a log post to grand capes so he can always get there or the ability to move Laboon away from it's "jail" at the grand capes.

And I don't want the superweapons to be there. They'd serve no purpose there unless Luffy finds the One Piece along with someone else...I wonder what a superweapon in Blackbeard's hand would look like...

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

bittman- could the all blue be fit in a treasure box... rofl

 

[bittman]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

Sure it could, got to have some more imaginative or lateral thinking.

All Blue: An ocean where every type of fish exists.

To this end it could be:
1) Raftel has all fish from all blues collected in it's surrounding sea (or any body of water on the island)
2) The One Piece includes an item that draws in fish from other seas (super bait?)
3) A giant whale that delivers fish it catches right to your doorstep for the low low price of $1.94/kg.

Your treasure box view is very limited.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

yeah my view was limited, i am thinking about there is no treasure.. the adventure itself is a treasure..
but your thought are quite creative and better nonetheless

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

My insane wish:

I wish One Piece is something alive, like an origin of all Devil Fruit, which has mind and will of its own. And it's taken a liking on Shanks because it reads the past about Shanks saving Luffy at the sea without care about his own body. So, it enters Shanks' body through the stump which had been Shanks' arm, creating a new arm and a second soul inside of Shanks. It also gives Shanks new kind of ungodly power which surpasses all comprehension. And finally the new Shanks told Luffy to return his hat, and battle him (One Piece's personification) for the title of Pirate King because Shanks also desires the title, and the battle will be filled with ambiguity between adoration and rivalry, between excitement and passion to be number one, between one's own dreams and true friendship, "This is my final gift to you. Luffy." or something like that.

I believe that will never happen, though.

Roger's Treasure is in One Piece

Could it be that Roger's treasure is Ace? No treasure, just a son/bloodline?

http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/551/18-19/

That is the page that made me wonder this. Though Roger was a pirate, the one thing he was most proud of was his child. He knew Garp would protect that child and make sure it grew up in safety.

When he said, "It's yours if you can find it," maybe it was a challenge to the marines as well. He trusted that Garp would hide the child well, but if they were able to find the child, they were able to do as they saw fit.

Re: Roger's Treasure is in One Piece

Could be but I dont think so - it much too soon for the manga to reveal what One Piece is.
And here is a different translation :
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v55/c551/17.html

I think that One Piece isnt a gold-treasure but maybe has something to do with the Poneglyphs.

Agree, I think it have someting to do with the Poneglyphs, and when they find One piece all the story about the Poneglyphs will be known and otherwise...

[tmod=Akainu]Just a little reminder here: mentioning the latest chapter has to wait until monday, Thus a few posts were hidden (in other threads too).[/tmod]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

A lot of good ideas here. In the end there has to be something for everyone.
At first I thought it would be "one piece" of the Rio Poneglyph that makes everything clear. But more and more I think it's going to be evidence the D. lineage was one the royal family, and overthrown by the WG.

Just an Idea..???

 

[OdaForPresident]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

My guess: One piece is precisely that, one piece of gold.
Nami will be very dissapointed and Luffy will just smile. The journey is the most important, nakama are what's important.....etc. etc. etc.

 

[BlindMunkey]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

ONE PIECE. its something that has something for everyone. for luffy its just getting there and adventure. ofc there will be enuff treasures. void century. its all obvious.

what could be the not so obvious part?
what if it leads to another dimension where there might be the survivors from the void century time. haha too much

 

[modoki]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

Im just going to say this and shut up.

I think the One Piece, if Gol D. Roger's ship, maps, jacket, personal treasure all left together in one piece.

Something of no value, but a long term, life-risking adventure for all pirates.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

OP is nothing... not that it matters... it will be something priceless such as having lived an awesome adventure lol.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

One Piece should not be totally a physical thing. I bet it is a bit metaphorical : I think that it will be something the SHs will realize after the end of their travel. But it can be understood thanks to an object : for example, a thing that is symbolic and makes us understand what is the true One Piece.
What they must realize is they had an unique pirate adventure on the Grand Line and managed to conquer their freedom and their dreams (without losing a crew member for example).
I mean that they all fulfil their dream in one way, in one group, the SH crew. It was all of them or none of them, like when they decided to go to the Sky Islands with the Gulf Stream. They were all together and they had two possibilies : manage or fail : it was heads or tails. They were all, as nakamas, a single group, a single piece and they are the ones that won against the Grand Line and their aims. They were the One Piece among all the groups of pirates.
I bet on something like that.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

it could be a puzzle piece of a thousand jigsaw puzzle. some thing i read on a comic strip.......................

 

[tothx]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

Definitely think it would be something of little value to anyone but a person like Luffy. Like the hat! =) HIS treasure!
