Hello once again everyone and welcome back to another theory for your entertainment. This time I shall be talking about the Winged people and the Ancient Weapons. The winged people and Ancient weapons bares a lot of references to Greek Mythology and the Book of Genesis in Christianity.

This is the painting Enel found on the moon.

Those 3 winged people represents the 3 ancient weapons Uranus, Poseidon and Pluton. Each winged race correlates to an ancient weapon and the p0stion and nature of a winged race correlates to what an ancient weapons does.

Skypiean-Uranus-To Create-God of the Sky-The Top-Creationism

Uranus is the power to create and those who wields it are pretty much gods. The Skypieans appear to have a talent for inventing. The Skypieans also appear to be the ones who created the dials. Simply put, the Skypieans were the gods of the OP world and the weapon Uranus gave rise to the special clouds in Skypiea and the Devil Fruits(The Tree of Knowledge).

There are sky people creating new ways to control weather.

There are more creations of Uranus and the Sky People.

However, the Skypieans have lost their god status and have been reduced to regular citizens.

Shandian-Poseidon-To Control-God of Water-The Middle-Evolution

Poseidon is the ability to control sea kings and it represent the Shandians. The Shandian you see in the picture has a fish head and in Skypiea….

The Shandian city Shandora had a poneglyph with info on Poseidon.

Oh and for the Shandians and Poseidon representing evolution….

The Shandians also appear to be the opposite of the Shypieans. Unlike Skypieans, the Shandians look like Native Americans/primitive savages.

While in the blue sea, the Shandians had no technology and survived from resources from their natural surroundings. They are so outdated that they even resemble ancient Aztecs who believes in a primitive religion.

The Shandians were being CONTROLLED by their own foolish religion until they were saved by Montblanc Noland.

The “god” the Shandians believed in that were leading them to their demise was a giant snake which is a reference to how the devil transformed into a snake to trick Adam and Eve.

The land of the Shandians is called “Jaya” is a reference to the Greek god Gaia, also known as “Mother Earth.” Gaia had a union with Uranus (Father Heaven)the first 12 Titans who ruled during the legendary Golden Age descended from her and Uranus.

The Shandians spent centuries defending their illustrious golden city that lost in time. A city being covered in roots and moss.

However, when the Shandians ending up in Skypiea, their land was stolen by the Skypieans(god) and a war ensued to get their land back. The war made the Shandians DESTRUCTIVE.

The Shandians tired killing anyone who got in their way regardless on who it was and was prepared to step over their comrades to achieve their goal. However, being destructive is not their nature.

Birkan-Pluton-To Destroy-God of the Underworld-The Bottom-Extinction

Pluton is a battleship capable of great destruction and it correlates to the nature of the Birkans. Pluton is named after the Greek god Hades and symbolizes war. Birkans have larger wing spans than Skypieans and Shandians and appear to have a natural gift for combat almost as if they are purely soldiers.

The Birkans

The Birkan’s natural destructive nature and martial prowess.

Remember when I said the Birkans were “the bottom” and soldiers? Well in Skypiea lead by Enel, the Birkans forcefully risen to “the top.”

The Shandians lost control of their homeland to the Skypieans and as if they were taking advantage of the chaos, the Birkans used God’s creations(DF and dials) to strip the Skypieans of their god status.

The Birkans took Shandora for themselves and started a new war between the Birkans and the Shandians.

This pic symbolizes such.

Since the Birkans stole the role of the Shandians, they became the “new poseidons.” Look at Enel with “Poseidon’s trident.”

Another hint to the Birkans becoming the new “Poseidons” is the birkan Gedatsu discovering a hot spring near Alabasta.

The Birkans then controlled Skypiea with fear using their overwhelming power.

********************

Now then, a few things that I couldn’t insert into the theory without making things confusing(to me).

1- The birkans STOLE the position of GOD right? Does it remind you of the Tenryubitto “gods” stealing the OP world for themselves 800 years ago? If so, you are half right. 19 of the 20 Kingdoms that created the WG are thieves, but the main Tenryubitto family simply took their world back as they are the remaining “pure” humans in the world. Don’t get it? The head Tenryubitto family is responsible for the creation of the OP world(lets call it Vearth) over 5000 years ago. They are the first, the originals and the creators and that is a theory for another time.

2- The Skypieans have an idol.

Seem familiar?

Since we’re on the topic of Greek Mythology and that the OP world has a lot of strange species, could this be the OP version of Titans? The idol represents the yearnings of the sky people(gods) and the titans are the second order of divine beings and proceeds its successor gods.

D: Hello, Oda-sensei! I have a question. Is Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, a Logia or a Paramecia? I personally think he’s Logia, since he took Aokiji’s attack without turning to ice, but…? P.N. NY

O: I guess that’s difficult. The answer is Paramecia. “Gura Gura no mi” is said to be the most powerful of the many paramecia fruits. It’s easy to think that he’s an “Earthquake Human” and must be Logia, but if that was so, he’d have to become an earthquake himself. Whitebeard creates earthquakes, in other words he’s a “Vibration Human”. That means he’s a Paramecia who isn’t any weaker than the Logias.
