THE CONNECTION BETWEEN “WILL OF D” AND “ONE PIECE”

This theory will explain to us everything about the Will of D  and hopefully tell us what the ONE PIECE is!

Eiircho Oda was inspired from this Tribe Called “Tuatha Dé Danann” that existed in real life and in Irish mythology .

I will Point out the MIND BLOWING similarities between this tribe and the current events in One Piece.

So let’s first state that this tribe is called “Tuatha Dé Danann”.

The first part “Tuatha Dé”

Tuatha means “tribe of the” .. and Dé is the name of the tribe!
Translates to “Tribe of the Dé”

The second part “Dannan” means “those” it was an extra part made by the monks of Ireland because Irish monks began using to the term “Tuatha De” to refer to Israelites.

So they called it “Tuatha de Dannan” to refer to this Ancient Tribe.

So I’m going to show you the legends of this tribe as how it’s so similar to One Piece.

In the Irish mythology, this Tribe was the one of the first advanced tribes to settle on earth, they were explained as gods or fallen angels who were neither good nor evil, they were also known for having super natural powers, and they came to settle on the earth.

Already so far we have Two similarties!

1- Fallen angels or gods who are not from earth?

Doesn’t this seem like the sky island people of birka who had advanced technology and came to earth to settle down?

2- Super natural powers? Does this resemble devil fruits in One Piece?

Look at this picture, this was the tribe’s symbol.
Doesn’t it look so similar to the ones on the devil fruits?!


This Tribe Dé had a lot of rivals one of them was the Fomorians.
Take a look at how they looked like.

This one resembles a One Piece Fishman!

The second thing in the picture i notice a dog-human thing.
I believe it’s the Minkmen tribe.
The white horse in the back … is Doc Q from Blackbeard’s crew! The resemblance is so similar!

The Tribe of Dé Ruled the world and they shared with the other tribes who existed on earth their advanced technology.

Hmmm , do you remember the Ancient Kingdom of Raftel , it was also said it was an advanced kingdom.

But why did the kingdom of Raftel disappear? Well, let’s continue with this story.

And what’s surprising about this tribe is everything about their history is written down , from the name of their scientists and rulers …. Until at one point of time , nothing at all is mentioned. And their kingdom is erased from history as if they no longer exists.

There are many legends and myths about how this Kingdom suddenly vanished, however there is no evidence on how it suddenly vanished.

Some historians said that this tribe vanished because an Army from the Spanish government attacked Ireland and attacked this tribe , and after that they did everything to try to Destroy their kingdom and erase their history.

This is the same thing that the World Government did, and its still doing it to everyone who tries to learn the ancient language of the Ponyglyphs and they get erased from history.

The tribe, Tuatha De Danann had Four Legendary treasures. Which can ONLY be used if you are a descendant of the tribe De , or carry their blood.

So here are the four treasures.

The first one is “the Spear of Lugh” which is a very destructive Spear with very high accuracy, that can hit the target no matter how far it is.

Sounds like something Ussop would use , and that will complete his dream of becoming the brave warrior of the sea.

The Second treasure is “the Dagda’s Cauldron” which is a golden Bowl that never runs out of material or food.

I believe Sanji is the perfect one to use this since he is the straw hat’s cook.

The Third treasure is “The Sword Of Light of Nuada”.

This is known as the greatest sword in the world.

And what’s amazing, lets look at Mihawk’s sword its called Yoru , which means sword of the night.
And this completes Zoro’s dream of being the greatest swordsman in the world.

The last treasure is “The Stone of Fal”

This is what I believe the One Piece is.

This stone is a magical stone that Selects the next King of the Tribe of the De.
The way it selects the king is by talking to him , and only the King of the De can hear the stone.

Does this remind you of how Gol D Roger could hear the voice of all things , and it even said by Silver Rayleigh that they didn’t have the tools or knowledge Ohara did. However Roger could talk to these stones. Which are the Ponyglyphs.

And once Luffy talks to that last stone which is known as the One Piece he will gain the status of the King and the knowledge the stone holds.

Do you remember the first intro of One Piece?

Wealth… Fame… power…

The golden cauldron resembles Wealth.
The spear and the sword resembles Power.
The Stone resembles Fame.

    CREATION OF THE WORLD – BIBLICAL ALLUSIONS AND HOW IT APPLIES TO ONE PIECE

    As many of you guys know, One Piece is pretty notable to alluding to various real world elements, and the Christian religion is not shy of being picked at as a resource for One Piece’s story. From Kuma’s bible, the angel races, mentions of “God,” Devil Fruits themselves, and the Adam and Eve trees, One Piece has a TON of references to the Bible.

    Now, let’s break down these elements, and how it potentially could lead to some answers for some of the various mysteries of the series.
    ___________________________

    The Bible & the Angel Race

    Introduced as Kuma’s book, many people outright presume it’s a random Biblical reference. Anime/manga tends to use Biblical elements just for their aesthetics with no real meaning behind it. But what’s interesting about this Bible isn’t the Biblical element itself, but rather what’s on the over on it. Recognize those wing patterns? No?

    It’s the wings of the three angel races! (fourth one is covered up, but what could it mean?) Sandora on the top left, Birka on the top right, and Skypeia on the bottom right.

    As we all know, the angel races come from a kingdom called Birka on the moon. This took place years before the Void Century, as Shandora was around for over 1000 years in of itself (and who knows the timespan between the two occurrences).Anyone who is familiar with the Bible or Christianity should know where I might be going with this. But basically I think it’s very viable that the Bible in One Piece having the wings of the three angel races is a BIG hint of what went on in the ancient world of One Piece. In Christianity it’s often thought that God is made up for three parts “The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.” It’s not always viewed that way, but with the idea that God being three parts of one whole is something a lot of Christians believe in, and is a very popular concept in fictional settings as well.

    What if the three angels in these wall paintings represent the three parts of God?

    Let’s take the story of Genesis and put One Piece elements into it, and you’ll see what I’m getting at:

    In the beginning, there was nothing but a Blue Sea.
    God said let there be light, and the Sky was born.
    From the Sky he created the Earth, and it was good.
    Then from the Earth He created mankind.


    Look at the above image again, and look on the platform the angels are on. On the outside, it’s very grassy, but on the inside there was weird tube-like structures with eye-like orbs in them

    The Angels terraformed the Blue Sea.
    To be specific, the Blue Plant. You know all of those strange weather anomalies in the series? The artificial design of the Red Line? The fact that a Sky Sea exists?! The existence of the Grand Line in what could be the equator of the World? Terraforming, which is something that in many science-fiction stories has ranged from gone terribly wrong to near perfect.But like all truths, in time it got twisted and changed into something completely different, and it became something of a much larger tale. One that continues with…
    ___________________________

    Adam and Eve

    Continuing the story of Genesis, God creates the first man Adam, and creates him a wife Eve. In Genesis, Eve is tempted by a snake to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree, and she does, becoming the first sinner. Who was this snake? While it’s never specified in Genesis itself, it’s commonly thought of as being the Devil himself.How does this apply to One Piece? As far as we know, not much other than names. There’s the Adam tree which houses what’s likely the strongest wood in the entire world, and the Eve tree which provides light and air itself to the denizens of Fishman Island as well as serve as the base of Shaboady. Then there’s the Devil Fruits, which is a whole ‘nother beast one can tackle. But going off on how the possibility of the Angel races descent to the Blue Sea applies to the story of Genesis in the Bible, why can’t all of these elements be linked together?

    Let’s add a bit to this One Piece Genesis story…

    But the Earth He created was not good for mankind.
    Then God created Paradise, and in Paradise He created Adam and Eve
    so man may flourish in God’s light and live in harmony

    Basically, in consolation for doing a pretty shoddy job terraforming the planet, the Angels planted the trees Adam and Eve across the Grand Line (aka “Paradise”) to give back to them what they have lost. Adam provided wood for strong housing and sailing to deal with the weather, and Eve provided light to the people of the sea. This area became known as “Paradise” because of this, and the Grand Line became a peaceful place with multiple kingdoms developing over the course of thousands of years.

    However this didn’t last long…

    Devil Fruits

    In the story of Genesis, the Devil appears to Eve at the Forbidden Tree, and sways her into eating of the fruit to become “like gods.” Eve eats the fruit, and God gets mad at her sin and curses both Adam and Eve to a life of sin and death.Aside from “Devil Fruit” being a literal reference to this story, we know little to nothing about them to suggest this could be the origins of them. However Devil Fruits could still fit into this One Piece Genesis story quite easily. Oda likes to do things with a twist afterall, so to continue…

    However to live in peace and harmony, mankind was to
    stay away from the forbidden Devil Fruit of the Eve tree.
    But mankind’s curiosity and temptation grew, and at the
    top of the tree, they ate the fruit and became like God.
    God was angry, and punished mankind by cursing the
    Devil Fruit with hatred of the Blue Sea.

    What could a story like this imply? Well for one, the Eve tree as we know outside of being a source of life and air for Fishman Island, is also noted as being the “boss” of the Mangrove of Shaboady. Linking Eve to the Devil Fruits makes a lot of sense going by the Biblical story, and all good things tend to alternatively have a bad side to them.

    What if the Eve tree was so strong, it created these “Devil Fruits” that gave mankind demonic-like powers to give them the ability to to becomes “god-like”? Who in the series actively struts around claiming they’re gods?

    The Celestial Dragons

    What if the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons rebelled against the three Angel races? They attained great power given to them by the Angels, and they used it against them. This caused mankind to go above God himself, and they ruled over the Blue Sea. After this, the three Angel races separated to different parts of the world, with the Shandorans in particular settling on a remote island.

    But there’s one more thing, but I’d like to put this Genesis story together, with one final touch…

    In the beginning, there was nothing but a Blue Sea.
    God said let there be light, and the Sky was born.
    From the Sky he created the Earth, and it was good.
    Then from the Earth He created mankind.
    But the Earth He created was not good for mankind.
    Then God created Paradise, and in Paradise He created Adam
    and Eve so man may flourish in God’s light and live in harmony.
    However to live in peace and harmony, mankind was to
    stay away from the forbidden Devil Fruit of the Eve tree.
    But mankind’s curiosity and temptation grew, and at the
    top of the tree, they ate the fruit and became like God.
    God was angry, and punished mankind by cursing the
    Devil Fruit with hatred of the Blue Sea.
    Regardless, mankind became like God
    And He did not find this good, and secluded
    himself away in shame, never to be seen.

    Many moons later, a Kingdom appeared.
    This Kingdom inherited the will of God,
    and wanted nothing but peace and harmony in the world.
    However mankind did not see them as good,
    and punished them with their mighty power
    erasing them from history itself.
    __________________

    As for the Ancient Kingdom itself, that’s an entirely different story and who knows where Oda will go with that one as well as the Will of D. I know this is a bit fanfictiony but I just wanted to propose a possibility of how something like the One Piece world came into existence.

    *Theory by Big One

      Devil Fruits & Inherited Will Theory

      (you can send your theory about  everything related to OnePiece via email at [email protected])

      Theory: Devil Fruits have individual wills and personalities which affect their owners.

      1
      The Devil Made Me Do It In Enies Lobby, as Kaku and Kalifa are about to receive their devil fruits, Jyabura explains that devil fruits work because they contain demons; Lucci tells him he’s full of it, the viewer laughs, and we come away with an understanding that people cannot eat two devil fruits, but no reason why. What if Jyabura wasn’t all wrong? A number of small details come together to act as evidence that devil fruits have personalities and wills which subtly (or sometimes not subtly) affect the personalities of those who eat them.
      This is a difficult theory to find evidence for, for two reasons: first, because there are few instances where we see characters both before and after they eat devil fruits; second, because Oda’s storytelling style often gives characters powers which match their personality anyway (for example, is Van Der Decken a creepy stalker who has a thematically appropriate fruit, or does the fruit make him a creepy stalker? Does Corazon/Rocinante prefer not to talk because he has a silence fruit, or did Oda give a silence fruit because he doesn’t like to talk?

      However, enough evidence exists that I believe this theory has a strong chance of being right. Moreover, the possible consequences are extremely far-reaching, an exciting trait in any theory, and enough to make this worth considering.
      Ch-ch-ch-changes
      We see, through the story, only a handful of characters before and after eating their fruits. Most of those characters we first see as children, before their personalities are fully developed, or hiding their true personalities. Here is a list of those characters: (EDIT: I’m aware I missed several. My bad.)
      * Luffy (half a chapter as a kid) * Buggy (a very brief flashback) * Kaku and Kalifa (pretending to be Galley-La workers, followed by stealthily attempting to assassinate Icerberg) * Blackbeard (one short flashback, pretending to be Whitebeard’s family, before he ate the Darkness fruit; two short scenes and a few dialogues after eating the Quake fruit)
      * Ace (one arc as a kid) *Sabo (one arc as a kid, followed by a few chapters as “Lucy”
      * Momonosuke (one short flashback)
      * It’s possible that there are other characters we see before they eat their fruits, but it is unknown (we don’t know for certain whether, say, Whitebeard had his fruit in his various flashbacks, or when Doflamingo ate his).

      Of these, the most interesting are the CP9 agents, Kaku and Kalifa. Kalifa’s personality is extremely hard to read while she is Iceberg’s secretary. However, from that section, her break-in in the Galley La office, and her brief actions on the Sea Train, it’s clear she’s extremely decisive and powerful, quite willing to get her hands dirty, and talented with a unique thorn whip. However, after eating her devil fruit, her fights with Sanji and Nami are absurd and comical. She never wields her whip, she uses almost no Rokushiki moves, and she relies primarily on her gimmicky devil fruit rather than simply kicking them both to death. Her personality changes drastically after eating her devil fruit (and not for the better). She goes from deadly assassin to dumb blonde. Similarly, Kaku becomes far sillier, more focused on arguing with Jyabura than on defeating his foes, compared to the efficient assassin we saw in Water 7 (or the friendly parkourer he was pretending to be).

      Of the others, it is difficult to draw conclusions from so little data; once we see more of Sabo, and post-timeskip Blackbeard, the effects of the Mera Mera and Gura Gura fruits may become more obvious, but there is simply too little pre-fruit from the others to draw effective comparisons (but see below for more on Ace, Blackbeard, and Momonosuke). However, looking at Luffy reveals something very interesting. In Chapter 1, he first tells Shanks “I want to be a pirate.” Just that, just a pirate. However, after eating the Gum Gum fruit (and after being rescued from the mountain bandits and various other important pieces of character development), he tells him, “I am going to become king of the pirates.” This phrase is later described as being “just like what Roger said”. There is heavy speculation on this forum about whether Roger had a devil fruit at all, as well as whether he had the Gum Gum fruit specifically, but if the theory of Devil Fruit Wills is correct, an inherited fruit may well explain the strange connection between these two.
      You Are What You Eat
      The description of Blackbeard’s Yami Yami fruit is unique: it is the “most evil” of the devil fruits. That’s a very odd description; abilities are morally neutral. When Blackbeard described his fruit as “evil”, it could only be with an awareness of something inherently evil within the fruit, perhaps a personality that had begun to overtake him. This is not to say that Blackbeard was ever a saint: he killed a nakama to get the fruit in the first place (albeit after some hesitation). However, it suggests that he has been made more evil by the fruit, perhaps against his will. Because of his god-killing D nature, this theory predicts that Blackbeard’s story will end with him overcoming his devil fruit and allowing Luffy to defeat him.
      Inversely, everyone who has known Ace has been surprised that he had no interest in leading. After setting out on his own and reluctantly joining Whitebeard, he eventually accepts Whitebeard as his father and has no interest in becoming the pirate king himself, even as Whitebeard was (according to the marines) grooming him to take on the mantle. Everyone seems surprised that with all his power, he refuses to lead. However, Ace’s childhood dream was never to become pirate king, it was to get out from under his father’s shadow. Having achieved that, and having found a new father figure, Ace is able to resist the destructive power of the Mera Mera fruit (which he used for years before joining Whitebeard, gaining a reputation for razing villages and sinking battleships) with his own willpower (and perhaps his will of the D). It remains to be seen how Sabo will respond to him.
      Natural And Artificial Flavoring
      Thus far, I have done a great deal of speculation and theorizing based on character personalities which could honestly be explained by normal character development; no one has wondered why Luffy is ambitious or why Blackbeard is evil, it fits well within their characters. However, this setup was necessary to compare with an area that the series has only begun to explore: Vegapunk’s experiments on devil fruits.
      There are exactly three cases where we know for a fact that eating a devil fruit imparted a personality: Mr. 4’s Dog Gun, Spandam’s Elephant Sword Funk Freed, and Smiley the adorably terrifying poison salamander. Before eating devil fruits, they were inanimate objects; after eating devil fruits, they gained autonomy and personality. These are very minor characters, but the fact that their existence is even possible should make us suspect that devil fruits are more than just powers: there’s something inside them that changes how their eaters act. Even if it is merely the animal spirit of the Zoan, these fruits impart something on their eaters which has will.
      In contrast, the Pacifistas, whose laser powers were derived from Kizaru’s devil fruit, have no will at all; they are simply automatons which follow orders and enact rote programming. Vegapunk can give objects sentience with devil fruits, but their devil fruit power not give them will because it is artificial. This is why Vegapunk’s efforts to create artificial devil fruits are considered “failures”, even though Momonosuke’s dragon fruit appears to be quite effective, and the results are good enough for Kaido to desire enough to feed an army: these devil fruits are incomplete because they have no will. They were created in a lab, so there is no will to inherit.
      Will I Am
      This brings up the most important consequence of this theory: its interaction with Inherited Will. Inherited will is a key concept in One Piece (and the basis for what is probably the most popular theory on this board), and this theory falls perfectly in line with it. A devil fruit user, in this theory, gains some of their willpower from the fruit that they eat, and perhaps in turn imparts their desires back into the fruit. When it reincarnates, the next user inherits that will. Luffy inherited Roger’s hat and middle initial, and if Roger wielded Gum Gum powers, Luffy also inherited his will through the fruit. For Sabo, it was essential that he eat the Mera Mera fruit to inherit Ace’s will. And Blackbeard, perhaps unknowingly, has inherited evil desires from whoever last held the Yami Yami.
      Back to the Future
      If this theory is correct, it raises many questions, and casts some older questions in a new light:
      * Where do fruits originally come from? Where do the fruits gain their wills?
      * How long have these wills been manifest? Is there a connection to the ancient civilization of the Poneglyphs?
      * Is the will inherited through fruits connected to the will inherited through the D?
      * How many people know about this? Vegapunk and the World Government very likely, perhaps also some Celestial Dragons?
      If Doflamingo knows, is the will of the Ope Ope fruit essential to accessing the great treasure of Mariejois?
      * What are the psychological effects of eating two fruits? How will the Gura Gura fruit affect Blackbeard’s will?
      * What is the connection to the ocean? Does the sea hate the will of devil fruits, rather than their power?
      tl;dr
      One Piece is a very complex story about a very complex world. Oda is known to foreshadow key plot points decades in advance, and he has been thinking about devil fruits since the very beginning. I believe they are more than just magical power mcguffins: I believe devil fruits have their own personalities and wills which they impart on those who eat them.
