What do you think One piece is?

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

seeing how roger is similar to luffy both they have a fun loving personality i would like to believe that one piece is something that brings joy it would fit oda's style not making it something mysterious and dark so im gonna stick to it being nothing but treasure .

- Nami : Drawing a map of the world : Adventure the Grand Line

not only the GL but the four seas as well .

"Whenever someone finds that treasure... it's going to come, a grand battle that engulfs the entire world"

It has to be knowledge, the blank century/poneglyphs have something to do with it

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

The treasure One Piece doesn't have to do with emotions. Roger wanted to guide Whitebeard into finding One Piece, which means that it's something very important, not just joy and the fun of the adventure (which is of course what this series is all about). I agree with the idea that One Piece is the Lost History and by revealing it their will be a war. But if this treasure all of us can't imagine is found, then their will be no more mystery and a war will not be required. This means that our mystery doesn't end in Raftel. Luffy will find information there and will fight in Marijoa alongside his father and every D. (except Teach). But we also know that the Rio Ponegliff is revealed in Raftel, so actually we can't predict anything.

Roger's flag? With his signature on it, of course.

Re: one piece

all the poneglyphs gathered in ONE PIECE

That's interesting, I never thought of it in this way. Silly me.


But I agree with bittman. I expect something extraordinary and magical.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

You remember WB last words about an huge thing coming with One Piece, about Roger waiting for someone to do something. Well, after that I made a theory about One Piece and why Roger created it.
I posted it in the wrong place, so let's see it here as I know some people don't read the Mega Convo thread (and they don't know what they miss) :

Spoiler

At the end of his life, the Pirate King Gol D Roger wanted to challenge the world because of what he learnt about the true story and D people. He had the strenght and the will to do it but he did not have the time because of his sickness. That's why he decided to disband his crew : he needed to do something before his death to be sure that someday some people would achieve what he could not achieve.
Roger gathered treasures to create One Piece, the ultimate treasure that would help a pirate crew to do what he cannot do. He hid One Piece in Raftel, the island he discovered with his crew, which is the most difficult place to go, because he needed to be sure that a pirate crew with enough strenght and will would find it, that only a pirate crew able to carry this burden would find One Piece.
After Roger hid it, he went to live for a few months with Portgas D Rouge to enjoy life a last time. When Roger knew he was about to die because of sickness, he gave himself to the marine because he had to make a speech that could be heard by the whole world : he needed to be sure people will know about One Piece and look after it.

The SHs with the help of One Piece will fulfil Gol D Roger's dream, the dream he could not fulfil during his own life.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

I was just posting that in other thread, Rayleagh. I think it's how you say, Roger was a smart man after all.

He make sure that his wife will be protected by Garp and everyone know about One pice. The truth hidden behind the idea of LOTS of gold, which will make someone to fight over the seas. He assured competition for the one destined to reach there. In that way, He makes also sure that He will be strong enough to fight for the truth and make enough allies to start a revolution.

Man, Roger sure was clever.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

Yes, I've seen your post in the topic about One Piece and Void century
That's after that I decided to quote myself in this topic.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

The thing that has me questioning myself though is : Can a Non-D. find One Piece?
They probably can, since Roger wanted to tell the way to Raftel to Whitebeard...

But, then, why did Whitbeard said that a D. would find it and that when they found One Piece it will bring up a great war, etc, etc.

Could it be that One Piece can only be understand by a D. !?
I think it will have to do with "hearing the voice".

Roger was said to be hearing the voices, and I think it's a trait only unique to the Ds.
Maybe, the only way to find Raftel is to... follow the voices, or something like that...

 

[Akainu]

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

I think that the important part here is that if a D. finds it, war will happen, because he'll discover true history and resume the fight of his ancestors because of what the worldgovernment did. So a Non-D. would really be unlikely to understand, yes.

This is probably also connected to Rayleigh saying that the Strawhats will draw other conclusions from what they find out than Roger and his men did. In my mind that is picking a fight with the WG, rather than disbanding. This though would mean that OP isn't over with Luffy becoming pirateking (which he should become by reaching Raftel/finding One Piece the treasure), but takes off to another war from there - a rather disturbing thought since I got used to the thought of a peaceful ending with their dreams fulfilled xD

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

@Nindo: Nah, Garp is a D and I doubt He's able to hear the voices of all things. Although Luffy does seem to "talk" with everything, even when He's not talking.

And because that could open the chance to Luffy's death in order to achieve his goals.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

it could simply be roger's treasure which he left in raftel the island where the true history .
roger asked WB if he wanted to know how to get to raftel and the way he spoke seperatly of the lost history hinted that the treasure one piece and the history has no connection . its just that the history is in the place where onepiece is .

Roger doesn't look like the guy who gives so much attention/importance to "material treasure", he believes in dreams, freedom, someone that will change the world ... of course every pirate no matter who he's has some kind of attraction toward gold and so is Roger, but the real One Piece is more than that and we won't find out what it's till the very end.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

I think there are gonna be some funny panels involving Nami being dissapointed in what One Piece is when they find it.

LOL, but I think finishing her map means more than Gold for her, it's her dream after all, so getting to Raftel and finishing her map is gonna somehow overshadow her disappointment.

But it doesn't have to be this way ... I mean there could be some real treasure in there.

Re: What is One Piece?!?!

how about one piece being a genie in a bottle?one wish for the owner.or 3 wishes like dragon ball,then it will be ditched to another secret location as the owner's wish, but the people from his crew isnt allowed to wish for another

 

[guegoblok]

What do you think one piece is?

Here's my theory:

It's the strawhat
It's about passing the hat into the next generation as the rightful heir of D.

Which brings me to the other theory.

The treasure is actually having everybody in the world as your friend. I'm assuming the finale is about Luffy fighting against the world government on something. It might be the world government held Luffy captive and people have to release him from execution Ace style, or The world government just decides that he's a really big threat and they come at him with full force.

The heir of D is someone who can actually pull this off. I think Luffy is the one.

The end should be about the world lead by Luffy fighting the world government.

Do you think this is possible?

 

[snengod2]

An island moving device !! all the islands in the one piece world will be controlled by who ever has it . This would be the reason why its called one piece and the reason why Gol.D Roger decided not to use it so that everyone can continue living the island to island pirate lifestyle. That or a giant piece of gold which I think is so stupid it might actually be the one piece.

 

[Freid]

Do you think this is possible?

The only part I think is possible is that luffy will fight the world government at the end. I don't think it will be because of a new development like Luffy getting captured and has to be saved or something, because that story line has already been used and it would also just make it another arc instead of the climax to something long built up. The revelation of the world government's dark history and the discovery of one piece will probably play major roles in triggering the big fight.
