RYOKUGYU (GREEN BULL), THE LAST ADMIRAL

In this theory i’ll be explaining my thoughts on Green Bull who is yet to make a proper appareance in One Piece. Before i start with Green Bull i’ll have to go to the old admirals first and explain my thoughts on them. Because of this the theory is going to be abit longer then i wanted but i think its crucial to my ideas on Green Bull which is why i kept it in. Don’t let the lenght scare you away though because i believe its an enjoyable read which hopefully wont leave you as confused as luffy.

First the Admirals before the timeskip.

Lets start with Aokiji, who we meet the first time at Long-Long Island. His name translates to Blue Pheasant and he has the ice-ice fruit.

The next admiral we meet is Kizaru, who we meet at Shabondy Archipelago. His name translates to Yellow Monkey and he has the light-light fruit.

The last admiral we meet pre-timeskip is Akainu, who we meet at the Marineford war. His name translates to Red Dog and he has the magma-magma fruit.

Now i believe the names have an extra meaning. Lets start again with Aokiji (Blue Pheasant).

Blue is a link to his power, the ice ice fruit, but it can also be a link to the blue sea (pirates). Aokiji was the only admiral pre-timeskip who fought with the strawhats because they were pirates (as main reason). It is hidden abit by the fact he wanted to deal with Nico Robin and later Spandam using his golden den-den-mushi to trigger the buster call. The Nico Robin factor was for Aokiji something from the past. He had tried to let her escape in Ohara but she was spotted and got the bounty on her head at an early age. After twenty years on the run he thought she just wanted to die so he decided to put everything about Ohara to an end. The whole enies lobby thing was mainly CP9 and not Aokiji. Later he’s on Garp’s ship when Garp attacks the Strawhats when they leave Water Seven and he helps confirm that they escaped.

Now next is Kizaru (Yellow Monkey).

Yellow can be linked to the heavens (Celestial Dragons). When Luffy punched a Celestial Dragon it was Kizaru who volunteered to go deal with him and the other pirates at the human shop.

This was his main reason to go after them. When he meets Luffy again in the Marineford war he tells him that the Celestial Dragons have been clamoring for Luffy’s arrest.

Last is Akainu (Red Dog). Red can be linked to the Red Line (Revolutionaries). Squardo reveals after he stabbed Whitebeard that Akainu is a member of the rebel faction.
I believe this is the faction of the Marines that deal with the Revolutionaries. This is further hinted at him (Akainu) knowing about the relation between Dragon and Luffy before its announced in the war.

This is also his main reason for going after Luffy.

Some small notes about the animal parts.
– Pheasants are groundliving birds like for example chickens. This could link at Aokiji traveling by bike.
– Monkeys live in groups. This could link to how Kizaru works together with his nephew: Sentomaru.
– Dogs are very loyal. This could link to how Akainu places Justice above all. He’s loyal to the values the Marines stand for.

Now the admirals after the timeskip.

Now after the timeskip Akainu became fleet admiral, Aokiji left and 2 new admirals were drafted Fujitora (Purple Tiger) and Ryokugyu (Green Bull). We meet Fujitora (Purple Tiger) for the first time in Dressrosa.

From the way he is dressed we could speculate that he is from Wano Kuni. This gives more meaning to what Doflamingo said about the ‘World Military Draft’.

Brook explained that Wano Kuni isn’t affiliated with the world government and that their samurai swordsmen are so strong that not even the Marines go near there.

So it is abit strange to see an Admiral come from there. Fujitora (Purple Tiger) explained that he wants to abolish the Royal Warlod system which is most likely his reason for joining the Marines in the first place. The World Military Draft gave him the opportunity to not only join the Marines but also to become an Admiral. This gives him influence in the Marines and also the Reverie with which he can strive to his goal (abolishment of the Royal Warlord system).

Now if we apply the previous format to his name (Purple Tiger) then Purple can link to countries not affiliated with the World Goverment. Also Tigers are solitary but social creatures. This means that they hunt alone but can sleep in the same location as others from their species (Well males usually avoid each other but a male can have an overlapping territory with a female). This could link to how Fujitora does his own thing, even if that means disobeying orders.

Its been quite a long theory already but now we get to the part of Ryokugyu (Green Bull). We dont know wether Ryokugyu (Green Bull) is male or female so for this part i will adress him/her as he/him. Lets use the same format again (seperating the names) and start with the ‘Green’ part. I’ve seen a couple of theories that link his power to either trees (nature), radio-activity or time manipulation. But when i think of the colour green i think of healing (mainly because off all the hours i spent playing Pokemon when i was a kid). Because of this i believe his function before becoming an Admiral was a doctor, probably a Marine one. We know that the Marines have a Medical Centre.

If we take it that this is the case we can also speculate about his home country which would be most likely Drum Kingdom. Drum Kingdom was formerly renowned for its doctors and medical knowledge but when Wapol became king he made that law which only allowed the 20 doctors in the palace to stay.

All the other doctors were exiled from the country. There are some hints that could link Green Bull to Drum Kingdom such as Dalton having the cow-cow fruit model Bison

and also Dr.Kureha has been shown wearing a shirt with a bull on it.

If we continue with the format then next is the ‘Bull’ part. The most common known thing about bulls is that they go mental when they see the colour red. This could link to Ryokugyu (Green Bull) having a berserker ability where he looses control over himself and devestates everything close by.

I want to link this to Chopper and his Monster point. Chopper studied under Dr.Kureha and invented the rumble balls. When he took three of these he lost control over his devil fruit and went on a rampage abit like a berserker. This could prove an important hint. How exactly did Chopper invent those Rumble Balls? He could have made them from scratch ofcourse but if we take it that Green Bull came from Drum Kingdom then he could have also used previous research that already existed and made the Rumble Balls from that research. If for example Green Bull was afraid of his own power and the fact he looses his mind whenever it activates then he could have tried researching a way to stop this berserk ability.

With the new admirals (Kizaru, Fujitora and Ryokugyu) we no longer have the logia theme which the old admirals had. Fujitora is a paramecia (since Blackbeard has the gravity logia) so its likely that Ryokugyu is a zoan. I believe he researched the Zoan fruit to explore the posibilities of stopping the berserk effect and left the research behind when he was exiled from Drum Kingdom (gave the research to Dr.Kureha most likely). Later Chopper found that research and made the Rumble Balls. After his exile Ryokugyu, still afraid of his power, joined the Marines hoping that if he could not be cured they atleast could keep him in check. With the ‘World Military Draft’ Akainu forced him to become an Admiral because even if he looses control with his ability he is still insanely powerful.

Now i have saved the best for last and that is his devil fruit. If Chopper used his research for the rumble balls then it is likely they have a similar kind of Zoan devil fruit and that is the human-human fruit. I believe Ryokugyu (Green Bull) has the human-human fruit model: Monster/Berserker/Hulk.

With it he transforms into a monstrosity with insane physical abilities but he also looses control of his mind (like the real hulk). As an Admiral i believe he orders all his troops as far away from him before he activates his devil fruit (this would give some cool panels). The drawback from this might be that he can’t use Haki while in berserker mode which would make him useless against logia but still insanely effective against paramecia and zoans.

Conclusion:
– Admiral names could hide hints to their affiliation and powers.
– Green Bull was a doctor from Drum Kingdom and later for the Marines.
– He has the human-human fruit model: Monster/Beserker/Hulk (one of these most likely)
– His fruit brings him into a berserker rage where he looses his mind, afraid of this ability he wanted to cure himself so did alot of research on the human-human fruit (later gave this research to Dr.Kureha upon his exile).
– Chopper used this research to make the Rumble Balls.

    THE RAFTEL MAP

    I’m sure everyone is familiar with the ongoing trend of OP characters giving us false explanations for in-universe events that they think they understand but don’t, with Oda leaving us on the assumption that Vegapunk will explain it properly. I believe this is the case for the explanation of Reverse Mountain too. Now, Nami’s explanation is surely a contributing factor to why water flows up the mountain but there is another effect at play

    I believe that One Piece’s moon is in fact in geostationary orbit, exhibiting it’s entire gravitational force over a single point. Reverse mountain. This is the biggest contributing factor in the phenomenon of upward flowing water, and also explains why the rest of the world isn’t affected by regular tidal forces

    But why is this relevant? First we’re gonna need some locations for the map points

    [IMG]

    Aside from excellent foreshadowing on the part of Oda this flag is also a vital clue. The World Government are aware of the road poneglyphs and Raftel, but are unable to reach it. The fact that they have been unable to reach it, even long before the beginning of the great pirate era and the rise of the Yonkou suggests that the poneglyphs were given to their enemies. So they likely also point to the nations of their enemies

    One poneglyph on Zou, an independent nation isolated from humans. One in possession of Kaido, likely found in Wano, who are still independent of the World Government. Many have speculated that the unknown poneglyph is from Elbaf but I believe the Elbaf poneglyph is the one owned by Big Mom. The final poneglyph rests on the moon, and will be brought back by Eneru

    Now let’s complete the map. But first, take a look at this

    AuML130

    One thing is evident from this picture. There are many island combinations that take 2 from each half of the grand line or one from each of the 4 blues which lead to reverse mountain being the intersection point. Reverse mountain is commonly theorised to be the location of Raftel. Statistically speaking, it’s the location at the end of the grand line which is most likely to be the solution on a 2D map. But surely this makes it too easy? The solution can’t be something so simple as to be reached by anyone with a bit of basic logic?

    And so we return to the moon. Instead of thinking of the map in 2 dimensions, try thinking of it in 3, with the moon as one of the points. Now lets take 2 nations from opposite sides of the grand line. Alabasta, who whilst being members of the World Government were likely allies of the AK given their refusal to move to Mariejois and ownership of a poneglyph, and either Wano or Baltigo, as both are likely roughly the right distance into the New World for this to work and aren’t WG islands. And finally, the reason for the theory of the geostationary moon, the final point is Fishman Island. Connect the dots in 3 dimensions on a globe. The line between Alabasta and Wano/ Baltigo cuts through the globe, meeting the line between the moon and Fishman Island at a point just beneath reverse mountain

    Raftel is likely deep under water or underground, in what is essentially the exact opposite position to Fishman Island which rests 10,000 meters below sea level beneath Mariejois on the opposite side of the world.

      The Destroyer of Fishman Island

      0000

      Myth: Shyarly only said the Destroyer of Fishman Island would be wearing a Straw Hat, not that it is Luffy. Jinbe’s going to go get a bunch of Straw Hats for the children of Fishman Island. Whoever the Destroyer is will just take one of these hats to taunt the Fishmen and/or the Straw Hat Pirates. After all, Luffy would never destroy Fishman Island! Plus the Straw Hats have left Fishman Island, and so far they have not gone back to any previously visited island!

      Fact: So far, nothing has been confirmed. While Keimi commented that Shyarly’s prediction could take up to a year to come to pass, there was no direct evidence that Luffy is indeed the Destroyer. While the Straw Hats have not yet backtracked, with the introduction of the three needle Log Pose, the dangers of the New World, and the Straw Hats’ promise to Shirahoshi may mean that the Straw Hats will revisit Fishman Island before the end of the story. However, this myth may just be hopeful thinking by fans, and the circumstances under which Fishman Island will be destroyed, if it actually is, are unknown.

        POSSIBLE FORESHADOW OF STRAW HATS STEALING PONEGLYPH FROM KAIDO

        We all know that you can just steal a paper from people who wrote down what’s on poneglyphs, but what does Luffy think about it?
        He is not happy with that, given that he showed us his Donald Trump face.
        So, how can they steal poneglyphs? Can they just carry them? Well, I think there are 2 images that foreshadow this.
        First one:
        [​IMG]
        Wadatsumi is carrying a Poneglyph on his head.

        Second one:

        Look at the pattern on Luffy’s clothes – the Kozuki clan.

        But what kind of significance does the clothing bring, you may ask
        Well, try to remember who from Kozuki clan ate a very strange fruit, and since the day he ate that fruit, he could turn objects that are put on head into clothes.
        Still doesn’t ring a bell?
        This guy:
        [​IMG]

        They have a foolproof plan – they steal poneglyphs by literally wearing them, and then Kanjuro, with Usopp’s help, draws a new Poneglyph where the old one was so no one can suspect a thing! I think it’s a perfect scheme.

          Law And The Voice Of All Things

          After last chapters, many people in OP community started speculating that the fact Momonosuke is hearing a voice makes him somewhat related to the ability of hearing Voice of All Things!

          Most likely, the main hint is this panel, that may be a reference to Roger, the one we know for sure that had this ability:

          Actually, way ago (December 21, 2015), I’ve done a theory video in my channel exposing my ideas that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi knew Gol D. Roger, that we would have a Poneglyph in Zou and that most likely Roger was able to “hear” it.

          Seems like, maybe, some of my ideas can be proven right in the near future. If not, well, by the time it was a good theory xD, haha.

          Anyway, one think that REALLY caught my attention and people aren’t commenting is Law’s expression while climbing the tree.

          Why is he so uneasy? So unconfortable? And why did Oda (which clearly is trying to faster the story’s pace) make sure he showed Law’s expression to us?

          Also, inside the tree, while everybody’s freaking out with Raizou, Law is still uneasy. It can be due to the awkward situation, but maybe not. Also, we can’t asure he’s looking at Raizo instead of the Poneglyph, which is supposed to be from where the “voice” comes

          Anyway, if Law can “hear” the the Voice of All Things too, it open possibilities:

          – Gol D Roger
          – Monkey D Luffy
          – Trafalgar D Water Law

          So…. does it means that this ability is related to the D clan?
          Anyway, Luffy never heard a Poneglyph (although he seems to have the ability to hear the Voice of All Things). Is this ability something that you awaken somehow or train, something like that?

          Second interesting topic: does this mean that Momonosuke (and the rest of the Kougetsu/Kouzuki family) is a D???

          Well… guess we’ll learn a little more about it all by the chapter that’s coming tomorrow.

          Thanks for reading

            ZORO AND LAW “THE BADASS DUO” VS JACK INCOMING

            After the recent chapter, many people believe that we will propably have a Jack vs Strawhats showdown and i am one of them!

            But, i still believe it’s gonna be a seperation between the strawhats!

            Luffy will take few people with him(I believe except for Pekoms, Raizou will join him as well) and Zoro with Law will prepare for the trip to Wano!

            However, there is a small obstacle… none other that Jack himself…! and i will explain why…

            We know that he went on a rescue mission to save Doflamingo from getting imprison!

            In addition, we know he is heading to Impel Down!

            Now, let’s look the map…

            As you can see,Impel Down is on the west while the strawhats are in the opposite direction(east/Zou).

            We know that Jack , managed to attack the marines before reaching Impel Down!

            Also, we know that he left the island the same day Doflamingo was defeated!That was 11 days ago…! And base on chapter 807(ten days ago) half of the strawhats reached Zou!

            So, if i have to take a guess… the distance at that time(It’s a moving island) between Dressrosa and Zou was approximately 1-2 days at most!(read chapter 807 , it will help you understand how many days has passed since entering the NW!Base on my calculations they are 14-15 days)

            Taken into consideration the analysis i just made, it’s highly possible that he managed to catch up with the navy really quick!

            If we also take into the account that the navy left Dressrosa the third day after the battle…!2

            It is beautifully adds up!

            In my opinion, Jack managed to catch up around here!

            In the proccess managed to sink two ships, but sustained some injuries and considered dead…

            However,he failed to retrieve doflamingo and base on the last chapter, he is alive and by the looks of it, he is been accompanied by a large fleet!

            So, guys let’s refresh our memory!

            What was his initial mission?
            To retrieve Raizou!
            And where he is now?
            He is on Zou!
            So, what he is going to do?
            He is going to complete, his unfinished mission!

            I think it’s a pretty logical way of thinking , don’t you think?

            Even if he wants to go somewhere else, he has to pass to Zou…!

            I think it’s very unlikely to move on , straight to Big Mom’s tea party… I doubt he even knows anything about it…

            Also, take note that the battle between him and the navy occured around 8 days ago(11-3=8…xD)!

            He had 8 whole days to rest,to heal,to prepair(fleet)and to travel back on Zou to put an end to his unfinished business!

            So, he must be pretty close to Zou!

            That means a SHOWDOWN!I can feel the hype!:)

            In my opinion, since there is the Sanji matter on one hand and the Jack matter on the other , they will have no choice but to split!

            But why split and not go all together to save Sanji?

            1.Luffy said he will go alone, although i doubt he will be completely alone… he will take at least two![Pekoms and Raizou(stealth)… they will sneak!]

            2.I think it was foreshadowed that, it’s going to be a match between Zoro vs Jack!
            a)They both are the right hand man of their captains!
            b)They both use swords as weapons
            c)When the minks were talking about Jack, Oda focused on Zoro twice for a reason!c011

            3.There is no way Zoro, will go after Sanji after making that speech1

            4.The strawhats befriended the minks and i don’t think they will leave them at their fate…Luffy will entrust Zoro with the mission to protect them any way he can!I believe Law will stay too, since his good friend Bepo is from Zou!Let’s not forget they are still many of them injured

            5.Lastly… maybe one of the biggest mysteries… the moon!
            We have yet to be relieved , what happens when the full moon is out!

            I think i gave you some solid points!

            To move on with the last part of my theory!

            The last part of this theory will be a speculation, but if you think about it , it will might make some sense!

            I think in this fight we will have a Law and Zoro vs Jack battle, like we had the Law and Luffy combination against Doflamingo!
            So, this combination could be turn out to be true!

            Also, they are similar in personalities…both badass,cool,serious and bloodthirsty when they fight!

            In my opinion, this duo will be amazing!

            To conclude, i think we will have a big revelation regarding Zoro’s past from the moment he will release his demonic spirit!
            Yes, i think this will be the fight that we will see him go all out!

            This will be the moment when Zoro will trully connect to Wano and it will ignite his desire to go to Wano even more and learn about his past and lineage!

            I don’t know how the fight will turn out… but i believe , during this fight Jack will tell him about his demonic/cursed clan or lineage and to how he might connect to one of his future enemies!

            I hope you enjoyed my theory

              BIG MOM HAS THE SPIDER DEVIL FRUIT

              Here’s another one for ya guys: Big Mom could have the Spider Spider Fruit.

              [​IMG]

              This whole Idea started from the fact that CHARLOTTE’S Web is about a spider that has the same name as BIG MOM. Then I started thinking and researching on spiders more and found some interesting connections. Let me show you them:

              [​IMG]
              Spiders can lay more than 500 eggs.
              -good reason why Big Mom has 35 daughters

              Spiders eat insects but do not eat plants
              -Big Mom, since she has massive power as a Yonko, might see humans as “insects”. And she doesnt eat “vegetables(plants)”, only sweets.

              Interesting enough, i found out that female spiders eat their mates even while mating.
              -It Explains why she eats her own kind. Humans.

              Spiders can use VENOM
              -Big Mom’s nasty ass saliva could be mixed with the venom and acid in her body. So that stuff is probably DEADLY. Watch out for the big mom. All she has to do is drool on you and you’re dead. A YONKO’s power.

              Now I didnt say anything about “webs”. I just said that she has the “spider” fruit because I really don’t want her to be another doflamingo.

              I don’t know much about card games, but everyone that has owned a windows xp should know the game, Spider Solitaire.
              -Oda seems to be using card games in the story now. Maybe Big Mom could’ve came from this. Who knows?

              Anyways, thanks for reading. Please tell me what you think down below.

                ROGER’S 4 RED PONEGLYPHS: BIG MAM, KAIDOU AND THE WANO SHOGUN

                We learned five things in the last chapter:

                1) There are 4 Poneglyphs
                2) The 4 Poneglyphs together shows the location to Raftel
                2) Kaidou and Big Mam each has a poneglyph
                3) The Kozuki clan created the Poneglyphs
                4) Oden Kozuki, the father of Momonosuke, was a member of Gol D. Roger’s crew
                5) Oden Kozuki was executed by Kaidou and the Shogun of Wano.

                How is all of this connected? I’ll get straight to the point like I always do.

                It was said that the 4 yonkou were the ones closest to One Piece and it seems that was stated in a literal sense. WB and Shanks knows how to get to Raftel so the Red Poneglyphs are “worthless” and Kaidou and Big Mam each has one. Shanks does NOT have a red poneglyph.

                Kaidou stole a red poneglyph and Big Mam was ENTRUSTED with another by Roger himself. I’m not joking.
                ***************

                The 4 Red Poneglyphs

                Oden Kozuki was a member of the Roger Pirates so of course he knows the history of the Void Century. With the new info that it was the Kozuki who made the Poneglyphs, it is blatantly apparent that Wano fought along side the Ancient Kingdom.

                As we know, the AK, which includes Wano, was defeated with Wano itself being split in two and half of it siding with the 20 Kingdoms, giving rise to the marines’ swordsmanship training and the Bald Gorosei.

                Being one of the AK’s strongest allies, Wano or just the Kouzuki clan, made the poneglyphs and 4 red ones detailing how to get to Raftel and they were given to 4 ally nations: Elbaf, an unknown place, Zou and of course Wano. I think the last red poneglyph is in Elbaf.

                The 4 red poneglyphs show the location to Raftel when the 4 of them are deciphered meaning, Gol D Roger used the Voice of All Things to follow its guidance leading him to Raftel, implying that the red poneglyphs are not in the WG’s hands.

                Roger’s crew scattered after Raftel was discovered and one of the red poneglyphs ending up in the protection a former Roger Pirate or ally: Big Mam.
                **************

                Kaidou, Wano and the Red Poneglyph

                Why would the Shogun of Wano joined Kaidou and murder Oden Kozuki? Because Oden was deemed a traitor.

                Wano used to be under the protection of WB(after he saved it from Kaidou) but after the death of WB, Kaidou returned. This time however, things would be different. Why? Because Oden Kozuki told the Wano Shogun some info of the Void Century and I believe they were trusted friends.

                Like the other Roger pirates, Oden was awaiting Roger’s successor but when Oden told his friend the Shogun about the history, the Shogun was pissed. Not only was the pissed upset at what he heard, he was filled with greed and wanted to more. The Shogun of Wano wanted a war; a war where Wano can get its revenge on this world of lies and a sense of greed for getting ultimate power.

                Oden was of course against the Shogun’s irrational behavior but there was someone invading them that shared the shogun’s ideals:

                100 Beast Kaidou

                Kaidou thinks the world is hollow and should perish. He wants to engulf the world in the greatest war ever and the Shogun had similar motives(also, Kaidou’s wanting to commit suicide for his failures is similar to samurai committing suicide when shamed). Things got worse when the Shogun sided with Kaidou and told the beast what he knew. Yes people…Kaidou knows some of the history too. He knows what the Shogun knows. This made Kaidou want the Red Poneglyph by any means thanks to Whitebeard himself.

                Kaidou recalled that WB said that whoever finds the OP would cause the world to be engulfed in a war and with the Red Poneglyph that is a key to Raftel’s location is in his possession, he goal is one step closer.

                However, Kaidou can’t do a thing with the Kozuki clan. The Shogun and Kaidou thinks the members of the Kozuki clan(Momo, Kinemon, Kajnuro and Raizou) can somehow decipher the red poneglyph. This is one for the reasons the fled Wano for Zou and also how Kaidou knew to send Jack specifically to Zou. Both Kaiodu and the Shogun want to know what the red poneglyphs says.

                For a second scenario, the shogun could just be a coward and decided to join the winning side.

                Big Mam, Roger and the Red Poneglyph

                First of all, how does Nekomunashi know that Big Mam has a red poneglyph?

                I think Big Mam was a former member or at least an ally of the Roger Pirates. Why? A few reasons…

                In previous theories, I came to the conclusion that the Ancient Kingdom and the D clan is based off South America or at least, the mythical cities of South America.

                Big Mam also has connections to WB who was a friend of Zou and Wano.

                Nothing concrete, I this is the reason why I think Big Mam was either entrusted with or was able to get her hands a Red Poneglyph. I also think that this is the reason Germa 66 are going business with her; they want that poneglyph. It also increase the chances of Big Mam becoming an ally of Luffy since he seemingly has Kaidou AND half of Wano after his head.

                *Theory by Vandenreich

                  D Means…

                  will of d

                  1. Myth: Dragon appeared in Loguetown and Luffy was able to hear the dragon talking in the Apis Arc. The D must mean DRAGON.

                  Fact: The Warship Island Arc was not canon. Therefore everything in it (except for a few things like the Calm Belt information) was not written in the manga by Oda. This rumor was originally created by a popular anime blogger who took a wild guess after watching the arc. Due to the popularity of said blog, others also pondered on the idea (though some fans came to this meaning on their own accord). However, it has been proven Dragon has an important plot role.

                  2. Myth: It is the first letter of the civilization name.

                  Fact: We do not know what the D. means at the moment. This comes from the significant actions of the World Government to stop Clover saying the name.

                  3. Myth: It is not a D it is part of a smiley! (example: :-D). Also, every D character that appeared in the series has smiled (even Portgas D. Rouge).

                  Fact: This one stems from the act of smiling upon death.

                  4. Myth: It is the name of the royal family of the lost civilization or a clan within it.

                  Fact: We do not know anything about their culture or if they even had a royal family.

                  5. Myth: D. means “Devil”.

                  Fact: This one is a nod to Devil Fruits. Rosinante did however state that those with the D. are God’s natural enemy, which is what a devil is conveyed as.

                  6. Myth: It means “Damashii”.

                  Fact: This one is linked to the talk of spirits and “will” throughout the series.

                  7. Myth: It is half a circle.

                  Fact: This one comes from “One Piece”, the speculation is that the D. is half a circle or pattern/symbol. In other words, acquiring Roger’s treasure will result in the symbol becoming “One Piece” again.

                  8. Myth: It means “Danger”. One of the Gorosei said so in Post-War Arc!

                  Fact: One of the elders really said that, but that’s due to the translation “D always means danger”, meaning that all of the people with D on their name were dangerous people.

                  9. Myth: It is given to those who can start a new era. Such as Roger starting a new age of pirates, and Blackbeards’s betrayal and Ace’s capture leading up to the Marineford War.

                  Fact: Portgas D. Rouge’s only (confirmed) significant act in life was giving birth to Ace.

                    KOUZUKI FAMILY’S LINKS WITH THE ANCIENT KINGDOM

                    Recently we were introduced to the Kougetsu family, which was re-named the “Kouzuki” family.

                    Kou + Getsu = Deep Red/Crimson + Moon

                    Kou + Zuki = Light + Moon

                    However, with deeper searches, I found out that Kou also means “Scarlet”:

                    Kou + Zuki = Scarlet/Light + Moon

                     

                    Notice how Kouzuki/Kougetsu are both associated with the Moon.

                    The Red Poneglyph & The Kouzuki Family Crest

                    Seeing as how Kouzuki can mean “Scarlet Moon”, and scarlet is a deep red colour, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kouzuki family were the ones who were involved with the creation/placing of the Red Poneglyph in Zou.

                    If this were true, then it would mean that they had strong links with the Ancient Kingdom.

                    Interestingly, the colour red is usually affiliated with happiness in Japanese culture, unlike Western culture where it represents negativity (danger, death etc…)

                    So what if the Red Poneglyph doesn’t tell us of any thing bad, but rather, something good:
                    I was thinking that it might’ve talked about how the Kouzuki & Minks became united due to the AK helping out. Just speculation though.

                    We also know that Wano has no links with the World Government, its fighters being so strong that they even scare away marines.

                    This would mean that during the Void Century, the 20 Kingdoms were perhaps unable to invade and destroy Wano Kingdom – thus the Wano may know a lot about the happenings of that time since they survived.

                     

                    Luffy interested?
                    Luffy rarely ever cares for such things.
                    Usually he starts snoring, picking his nose, or outright says he doesn’t care.

                    It’s interesting that Oda chose to show Luffy being actually interested in what “Kouzuki” is.

                    Most of us can agree by now that the Ancient Kingdom was probably alien in origin, possibly coming from the moon.

                    Clover’s Illustration Of The Ancient Kingdom

                    [IMG]

                    Look at this:

                    [IMG]

                    Don’t the 8 balls surrounding the bigger ball at the centre of the crane resemble the 8 phases of the Moon around Earth?

                    Defo interesting. Another link with the Moon.

                    Furthermore, the crane crest may be based on the real life Daimyo crane crest:

                    [IMG]

                    I found out that it’s also the symbol for the Japan Airlines:

                    [IMG]

                    Could the Kouzuki’s Kamon represent freedom?
                    The red represents happiness.

                    Additionally, the Tsuru Kamon (Crane Family Crest) is usually affiliated with royalty in Japan.

                    Look at this:

                    There are several Crane-Kamons on Luffy’s kimono – could this have been a foreshadowing of the Kouzuki, or also, have been a foreshadowing of Luffy being of royalty.

                    It’s a common theory that Luffy is descended from Joy Boy (King of the AK), and thus is of royalty.

                    If we dig deeper, it could be a link between the D. People (AK People) and the Kouzuki.

                    Since the Crane-Kamon is common in Japan, it could just be a coincidence.
                    But we know that Oda doesn’t add things for nothing.

                    [IMG]

                    Remember this?

                    How about this?

                    [IMG]

                    Seems familiar.

                    Seeing as how the first symbol represents the Celestial Dragons, could the second symbol represent the Ancient Kingdom?
                    Or more particularly, an important ‘sub’-symbol of the Ancient Kingdom.

                    Seeing the links between the Kouzuki Family and the Ancient Kingdom, I wouldn’t be surprised if the main royalty (Oden & Momo) of the Kouzuki Family are actually D. in origin.
                    By D. I mean being descendants of the Ancient Kingdom.

                    As we know, the Ancient Kingdom had a unity of different countries (e.g. Fishman Island, Shandora etc…), so since the Kouzuki were likely part of that unity, their main royalty could’ve been related to them.

                    Momonosuke, like his father, can hear the “Voice Of All Things” (perhaps Law too since he’s drawn silent in the same row), and Neko & Inua say that someone else they remember could too.
                    It could’ve been Roger.

                    Seeing as so far all of those who could hear the Voice Of All Things are D. People (descendants of the AK), then perhaps the main royalty of the Kouzuki Family are descendants too.

                    8 Races = 8 Balls

                    Here we see 9 different Races.
                    But since the Fishmen and Merfolk live together, we can count this as 8.

                    If not the moon phases, could the 8 small balls in the crest be a reference to these 8 ‘Races’.

                    This is all speculation though, as so far we haven’t gotten too much info on the Kouzuki Family.
