Tag Archives: One Piece Theory

So I wanted to do this theory a little differently from all the other Vinsmoke speculations that have surfaced over the past few weeks…. Instead of predicting who the Vinsmokes actually are (Royalty, Mafia, CD’s etc…) I want to go into what I believe they actually do….

Now no matter what route anyone chooses to go with who the Vinsmokes are, there is one thing that is abundantly obvious, and that is that they are extremely influential in the world. I believe they aren’t influential just because of who they are, but because of what they do! Allow me to explain….

Now in the latest chapter (813) there was a huge mistranslation within one of the pages, and when I had read the correct translation, it inspired to me write this theory….. what I will do is, is post one of the scanlations, and then provide the official translation via text.

In the first part of the theory, I want to focus on how we may have already seen one of Sanji’s older brother! But who could the mystery man be? Well we haven’t seen his face, like most people think, but what we have seen is that this group he belongs to has the ability to manipulate the world, and trick them into believing something like Doflamingo resigned from the Shichibukai! If you haven’t guess it by now, I am talking about one of the members of CP-0 who showed up on Dressrosa….

Why him? Well there is no particular reason, but the point is, even if it is not him, I believe one of Sanji’s brothers, is a Cipher Pol 0 agent. Now if you look at the suits CP-0, they are the same exact type of suit Sanji wears, but they are white instead of black…. Now obviously I am not going claim his brother is a member of CP-0 just because of that! Thats like saying Bellamy is his brother cause they have blonde hair….

What leads me to believe that, is what the official translation of 813 stated. Lets take a look shall we?

Sanji: You can’t kill me can you? What did they tell you? No cuffs? Treat me gently right? My bounty poster says I’m to be taken only alive! If you Kill me, someone is going to be real angry I bet! And whoever wrote that on my poster….Has to be the same person who arranged this wedding! Don’t move! You know who I’ve got backing me up now don’t you? I am going with you, to settle things with them! So don’t you dare touch my crew!

Now in the mangastream translation we see Sanji speaking about a single person being responsible for his bounty poster, but in the official translation, he not only speaks about a single person, but also speaks about “them” which leads me to believe he is talking about a specific group, and he knows exactly who they are! And like I pointed out earlier, CP-0 has already shown to have the authority to even go over the Gorosei’s head, and trick the World. So if they have the authority to do that, then there is no doubt in my mind they have the authority to make someones wanted poster “Only alive”

Now I know that is not concrete evidence to prove his brother is apart of CP-0, but there is a few other things that lead me to believe that! One thing that people have always wondered, was what Sanji ment, when he told Bartholomew Kuma, that one day he was going to be the biggest threat to the World Government….

Well, if you think about it. Doflamingo was able to manipulate the World Government, because he knew about the National Treasure of Mariejois. Now think about it. If the Vinsmoke family have been members of CP-0 throughout the generations, then it would make sense, that Sanji also knows about the National Treasure of Mariejois… Which would explain how he would become a huge threat to the World Government!

Next thing I want to point out…. What is some of the things Sanji specializes in? Information gathering, and infiltration! He had to have learned these skills somewhere, and what we saw from CP-9, they start training their candidates at a young age! So it makes perfect sense for Sanji to have started training to be a member of CP-0 at a young age!

Now the last point I want to make, might sound a little ridiculous, but I believe it was extremely sneaky on Oda’s part to do this! And a little comical as well! We all remember when Sanji fought against Jabra right? Well Jabra is a member of CP-9, and he tried to trick Sanji into believing he was Nico Robins long lost brother!

I believe this is a tricky little foreshadowing on Oda’s part, alluding to the fact that Sanji’s long lost brother, is a member of a Cipher Pol agency! We all know Oda has a knack for making lies become reality!

Now onto the second part of the theory! Like i said earlier, I wanted to go into what the Vinsmokes actually do, and I don’t believe they are a family limited to being CP-0 agents! I believe they are also a family who marry into the family of extremely powerful Pirates! I think they have been doing this for Generations!

I think Sanji was originally suppose to become a member of CP-0 when he was a kid, and one of his other brothers was suppose to Marry into the Charlotte Family! However after Sanji ran away, the brother who was suppose to Marry into the Charlotte family, became a member of CP-0, and now they want Sanji to marry into the Charlotte family, as he is already a Pirate!

What leads me to believe they also become affiliated with powerful Pirates, on top of working for the Celestial Dragons? It’s what Brook said in the latest chapter! (813)

Brook: “V…Vinsmoke is Sanji’s family name?! It’s a name that makes my Backbone crawl…. But it can’t be….”

That right there leads me to believe, that the Pirate crew who wiped out The Rumbar Pirates over 50 years ago were none other than the Vinsmoke Pirates….. Who even back then were affiliated with the Charlotte family!

I believe the Vinsmoke family has their hands in not only the World Government, Not only being Royalty, but also has their hands in Piracy!

One son enters into Cp-0, another son enters into an affiliation with a powerful Pirate crew (A yonko) and the other son remains in their Kingdom to become the next King! The Piracy thing might be a stretch, but the fact that Brook has his backbone crawl whenever he hears the name, is what leads me to believe they had a pirate crew 50 years ago, and were the ones who wiped out The Rumbar Pirates!

And with that I conclude my theory! It’s been a long time since I made one, so I hope you all enjoyed it! If I think of anything else, I will add more to it!

*Theory by Celestial D. Dragon

Many people think that Bonney may be Big Mom’s daughter and I agree. Like Lola and Purin, being named similarly to sweet foods: Lolly and Pudding, Bonney is also named similarly to a sweet food. Jewelry Bonney’s name can actually be phonetically pronounced by Japanese people as:
‘Jujubes Bonney’. Jujubes are French Candy/Sweets , fitting the French theme of the Big Mom Pirates. Also, another French sweet food, Bonbon – is similar to her name. Her name clearly fits.

Bonney has bright red lips similar to Lola and Big Mom, whom are likely her relatives. They all have pink hair and all of them can eat excessive amounts of food as well as ALL THREE of them having the same heart shaped lips! She has also been shown on a Cake Island/Ship, likely associating her with Big Mom.

We all know that Sanji’s from North Blue, though he met the crew while working at Baratie Restaurant in East Blue. We also know that Red Line divides the world in two parts, with three seas each:
1. East Blue + Grand Line (Paradise) + South Blue.
2. North Blue + Grand Line (New World) + West Blue.

From that, we can assume that there’s only 2 ways of getting to East Blue from North Blue:

1. Reverse Mountain and Calm Belt. This means, entering Grand Line from North Blue through Reverse Mountain and then exiting Grand Line through Calm Belt to East Blue. This is the “easiest” way, though there’s a high probability of dying in Reverse Mountain and even more in Calm Belt.

2. Mariejois. I don’t really have any idea on how to enter Mariejois except from scaling the Red Line at the end of Paradise or at the beggining of New World, but there must be some way to do so, reserved only to nobles or tenryuubitos and their staff (we saw Tenryuubitos and some of his servants back at Sabaody).

From my point of view, the first option is impossible. Why? Well, when the Strawhats were about to enter Grand Line, Sanji didn’t have any idea of what Reverse Mountain was, so it’s quite obvious that he hadn’t travelled through it as a kid.

The only possibility would be Mariejois then. So this gives more credibility to the theory that says that Sanji is a noble of some kind. He could have been to Mariejois as a kid with his noble family and he took advantage of the situation to escape from them, later being able to get in a cook’s ship that would bring him to East Blue. But then again, Oda always surprises, so we don’t know what he’s got prepared (could it be about to be revealed, could it have something to do with Sanji’s current “disappearance”?

There might also be a third way of getting to East Blue from North Blue, though I find it highly anticlimatic. The thing would be that one could cross Red Line in some parts of the Blues, meaning that not the whole Red Line would be a cliff as in Grand Line, but that it would rather have some places similar to beaches where ships could dock, thus being able to cross from one side to another. If this was true, though, I think One Piece would lose his characteristic “divided world” theme, which I think is the main point of the series (there’s a world divided in four pieces waiting to be reunited in one single piece).

Anyways, this is it, guys. I guess it’s not much of a theory, but instead it’s more of a punctualization that gives credibility to the theory of Sanji being a noble. Hope you liked it!

Feel free to share your thoughts on how Sanji could’ve got to East Blue as a kid.

*Theory by Jinbe

As we know, Sanji’s last name is Vinsmoke. Vin is the French term for “Wine”, seeing as Sanji is a high-class cook, and Smoke is pretty self-explanatory. The Vinsmoke family is obviously a noble family because:
1. Sanji is wanted only alive
2. He’s having an arranged marriage, a custom that is practiced by rich and noble families

He is also the youngest of three. I’m assuming his two older siblings are male, and their names are Ichiji and Niji.

Ichi = 1
Ni = 2
San = 3

Now, moving on to Purin. My prediction is that she’s the three-eyed woman on Big Mom’s ship, due to the fact that the “San” in Sanji’s name translates to 3.

Does that mean Sanji and Purin will get married? I highly doubt it, because that means he will have to remain loyal to her, and it’s too early in the series for him to stop flirting with every woman he meets. It would also ruin the adventures of the Straw Hats, because Sanji will either leave for good and live with Purin, or Purin will join the crew. I’m almost certain that Luffy and the others will crash the wedding and save Sanji, sort of like the Strong World scenario with Nami.

That’s all I have to say. What do you guys think? Any feedback is welcome

*Theory by Dead-0r-A1ive

Here is a guess about these two characters.

I find it suspicious how Shanks was implicated into the whole Ace and Teach fight. We know that Rayleigh knows about the void century, the will of D, he knows everything. It is the same for Shanks, problably, since he was in Roger’s crew as well.
Going with this, I believe that Shanks try to find “that man” that Crocus, and Whitebeard were talking about. Of course we know it’s Luffy, but Shanks as a character, I think his duty is to find that man, and he kinda did it with Luffy and the whole bet about the new generation.

Here is another example of Shanks ‘duty’ when he says to Cody that these few seconds of courage “have just made a huge difference in the fate of the world”, and these seconds of courage have indeed, distracted Kizaru’s shot that was going to finish Luffy. Shanks definitely sees luffy as the man that will change the world, the man awaited by Roger and co.

Now about the Ace vs Teach confrontation. Why did Shanks want to prevent this? “It’s not yet time for them to face each other!!” What is the meaning of that line? Is it the idea of two “D” confronting each other? It make me think about Luffy vs Teach. Two “D” confronting each other might inevitably lead to big changes in the world? That’s the case for Ace vs Teach, and it will probably be the case when Luffy will face Teach.

Now about the relationship between Shanks and Teach:

Why is he so concerned about Teach? Yes, there is the scar, but that’s it? I think it goes way beyond that. Now, theory time. I think that Shanks was friend with Teach.

I don’t think that Shanks could have deduces all of this, simply by having a fight against Teach. Shanks knows him pretty well, his ambition, his dream, his real power and so on. Why didn’t he say all of this to WB? First, because WB would not care and Shanks knows it, secondly, Oda might keep all of this for a flasback involving Shanks and Teach.

Now about the scar, the most important element:

“What ashes me now, is this one”. Really? Shanks lost his arm, suffered various wounds, he is an emperor, yet this simple scar would hurt him? I think the meaning behind this line, is that Shanks suffers from this scar because of the meaning behind it, not physically. If they were friends, I can totally imagine Teach betraying Shanks for some reasons.

But when would they meet? Why would they talk each other? Why would they become friends?

“This wound isn’t from my adventures”. I think it’s safe to say that by “adventures” Shanks means his journey with Roger, and his journey with his own crew.
Here is a timeline:

I think that longtime ago, after Roger’s death, Shanks met Teach and have seen in him the man that was awaited by Roger and co. Teach is a D, and Shanks could have been interested by him just like he was with Luffy. Shanks made a mistake and picked the wrong guy, that’s my guess. Why is Teach so confident about his fate? What does he know about the D? I think he knows almost everthing, thanx to Shanks. And that’s why Shanks might be so concerned by Teach. He was still young, and he made a mistake. He told him everything. Learning from his mistakes, he then did the opposite with Luffy, telling him nothing but just giving him hope and motives.

Why did they fight? Being a nobody (Teach’s childhood picture), I guess that knowing all of this story and his incredible fate, it changed him. He might have become greedy and power hungry from this moment.

And now:

They will probably end all of this with a fight.
So yea, that’s my 2cents about this.

*Theory by Kirk

After Oda dropped that incredible bombshell upon us, I’m going to add to the substantial arguments in favour of Sanji being a Tenryuubito, this one will be short but sweet.

Sanji’s name has two meanings:
San means Three, Ji can either mean O’clock or Temple. Oda has confirmed that Sanji’s name is 3 O’clock or rather, snack time! Hence he is named as such for being a chef. However, we also know he is the third son of the Vinsmock family.

Clearly, as the third son, his name strongly relates in his order of birth and therefore I believe his other brothers will be named after their order of birth too. We have Ichiji and Niji, Sanji’s older brothers. If their father follows the same naming pattern he will be called Reiji, however I doubt this.

Ichiji is the first born. Niji is the second born.

Now that we’ve delved into the brothers and their names, there are some other underlying and ‘hidden’ clues.

The ‘Temple’ part of their names can be a direct reference to being praised as some sort of religious or political figures, the same way the Tenryuubito view themselves as Gods. They refer to eachother as ‘your holyness’ and separate themselves from normal humans

The religion of Christianity, the most followed faith on the planet, originates from Israel. The Bible speaks of ‘three temples’, like Sanji’s family.

• First is Solomon’s Temple, which was built on Mt Moriah in seven and a half years. (could Moriah be involved in Sanji’s past? Did he encounter Ichiji?) This temple housed the Ark of the Covenant.
  This temple supposedly had the Brazen Alter of sacrifice, the Brazen Sea for Priests to wash themselves and the Brazen Layers of washing utensils. This temple was razed and burnt down by Nebuchadnezzar
• The temple of Zerubbabel, this was built in two years. The temple followed a similar plan to that of Solomon’s Temple on a much lesser scale. The temple was sacked and most items stolen and the temple was later used for Idolatrous purpose
• Thirdly is Herod’s temple. Unlike the other temples, this one had a court specifically for female use. This temple existed at the time of Jesus Christ. Both Jesus and Herod have been called the King of Kings on several occasions in the Bible.

So what?

Well, IF the Temples have some relation to the brothers:

• Ichiji has some history with Moriah and is seven and a half years older than Sanji. He too has a background of being a Chef. It’s possible he gave his life to save Sanji and Niji from attackers of unknown faction, he may be dead. His death was caused by fire.
• Niji is two years older than Sanji and shares many similarities with Ichiji. Ichiji was likely imprisoned or kidnapped by the same attackers of unknown persuasion. Niji may have been a massive pervert and had a strong attachment to aesthetic values. However, it’s possible Niji may still be alive.
• Sanji ran away and escaped the threat that took his two brothers away from him. He inherited the wills of both brothers as a Chef and the usage of Fire as well as being extremely perverted like his second brother. The notion King of Kings simply ties the third Temple into Sanji and Luffy, the Pirate King to be.

This is wild speculation of mine, but I think it would make a lot of sense.

What’s more, Sanji’s well known and obvious French theme strongly relates to ‘Vinsmock’.

Vin is French for Wine, seen as ‘the drink of the Gods’ in many cultures including: Greek, Roman, Carthaginian and Persian culture. Stronger relating to the connotations of being Tenryuubito, other Tenryuubito family names also have Godly meanings. The first part of Donquixote is Spanish for ‘Gift’ or sacrifice, common practice in these same cultures.

Extra: A Smock is a type of dress – this may relate to Sanji’s love of women? It’s also a play on the word ‘Smoke’, a reference to cigarettes and cooking.

There are lots of Godly inferences in the new reveal, and also a lot of references to food. So who were Ichiji, Niji and Sanji? Were they trainee cooks for the Tenryuubito? Were they simply regular Tenryuubitos?

Conclusion:

• Sanji’s brothers are Ichiji (7.5 years older) and Niji (2 years older), his dad might be called Reiji
• Ichiji is dead
• Niji is in captivity somewhere, although this is currently an unknown arbiter
• Sanji escaped the threat that took Ichi’s life and captured Niji, he has since inherited their wills
• The Vinsmock family is either a Cook family, subservient to the Tenryuubito or a Tenryuubito family themselves

*Theory by Logia

So I was doing a little thinking about all the “D’s” we have seen introduced so far in the series, and I realized something. Jaguar D. Saul stated that even though he didn’t know what the meaning behind the D, he said that EVERYONE in his family carried the initial in their name. This means that both Saul’s mother and father were both D’s. Now when we look at Portgas D. Ace, we know that his mother and father are also both D’s. With this information, it leads me to conclude, that in order for someone to be a “D” that both of their parents has to be D’s. Now obviously his mother couldn’t be a Jaguar D, unless Dragon is walking around with some seriously heavy duty machinery (if you know what I mean ), nor could she be a Monkey (Because that would just be ewww) So that means there could only be two possible options, either his mother is one of the known D’s we’ve seen so far in the series (Gol, Portgas, or Marshall) OR she is knew carrier of D, yet to be introduced. I’ve opted to believe that she is a carrier that has already been introduced, because I don’t think Oda is going to go overboard with the D bloodline.

So why a Gol? The answer is actually really simple, and it’s because Luffy looks almost identical to a young Roger.

Although we are never shown Rogers eyes in his younger age, what we did see of him, the similarities are uncanny. I always thought it was a little strange that Luffy looks nothing like Garp or Dragon, but bares such a strong resemblance to Roger. It would make perfect sense for him to look so similar to Roger, if his mother is in fact a Gol, and he gets his appearance from her.

The other possibilities is her being either a Portgas D. a Marshal D. or an unknown D. I’ve ruled out Portgas for obvious reasons, and I’m not to opposed to her being a Marshal D, because that would add a huge twist in the sense that Luffy is in some way related to Blackbeard, but even so, I think that would be a bit of a stretch. As far as her being an unknown D, like I stated before, I don’t think Oda is going to be going to overboard with the D. bloodline because it’s fairly obvious that the Will of D plays a huge roll in the over all storyline, and Oda isn’t going to over complicate it by adding more and more D’s to the mix.

Anyways I know probability of her being related to Roger is very very small, but I’m willing to bet Shanks right arm, that she is definitely a D. So if you guys don’t think she is a Gol, what would be your pick?

*Theory by Celestial D. Dragon

Doflamingo said that Luffy is bad at using his DF, so how would Luffy get better? Now before i go on, i am not going to say words like “awakening” however i can say that without a doubt, the what i am about to say next will probably be one of Luffy’s power ups.

Now what i believe Luffy needs is: 100% control of elasticity without with his DF alone(no haki should be needed).
Now there are a few things i want to say when talking about elasticity; first, what is elasticity? Well elasticity is the tendency of an object to return to it’s original state after deformation; so let me paint a picture for you

• high elasticity- this is basically vulcanized rubber now, i’m not saying that Luffy will ever vulcanize his body(imo it’s unlikely); but i do believe he will be able to make is body as elastic as vulcanized rubber with his DF, and make his body as hard as vulcanized rubber with haki
• low elasticity- when he stretches his body, instead of his body reshaping it just remains stretched at max potential, Luffy could become like slime. HOWEVER i highly highly highly highly highly highly(okay i think you get the point know) doubt that he will ever become a logia. I don’t believe he will become a liquid, but rather a a semi solid. He will not be able to detach parts of his body, however his body would be so stretched out that he would act like a liquid in almost every way apart from being able to separate his body(he cannot separate ). I believe Luffy needs to work more on being less elastic as it is a skill he seems to lack

But can’t Luffy already do this? Well he can control elasticity like this to a degree, however it is evident that he has not mastered this ability, he cannot use bounceman without haki.

What can Luffy do with this? Welll here’s just one technique i came up with that would really help Luffy out(forgive the bad art, i’m not good at drawing on my computer)
Gomu Gomu no Sword; with this technique, Luffy reduces the elasticity in his bones, he then reshapes his hand into a sword. Once the hand is reshaped, Luffy then uses haki on the hand to make it hard, he also increases elasticity so that his sword doesn’t change shape. This would be a very good technique as it would give him more options in battle, which is very good as it gives him ways to counter certain fighting styles and moves.

But what about the gear? Yes i’ll get to that next

Now i believe this gear will focus completely on manipulating elasticity. But first what will it be? Well i believe it will be skin balloon, now their is enough evidence to back this up so i won’t discuss it any further.
******************************

Well as i said; G5 will be haki, DF awakening, and skin balloon. But what techniques will luffy use with this? Well I believe their will be 2 forms to G5. Those being:

• fatman
• burnman

Allow me to explain
*************************************

As we know, all of Luffy’s gears are based on things Luffy has encountered in his life. So what will G5 be based off of? I believe it will be based on the techniques of these 2 men


So here’s what I am thinking:

• Luffy inflates his skin; and becomes as big as Sengoku
• now he will control elasticity to control his shape
• this form will give him insane defense as Luffy could control the elasticity in his skin to make him almost invulnerable to most(if not all) non DF/non sea stone attacks

Why use skin balloon when you can use bone and muscle? What’s the point of skin balloon? Well i think many of you believe that skin balloon is just Luffy enlarging his whole body, but i have a different idea. I believe fatman will be a lot like titan transformations in Attack on Titan

I believe fatman will look something like this

Luffy’s skin will be as big as Sengoku’s body; however Luffy’s organs, muscles, and bones will stay their regular size. Because of this, Luffy will be able to act a lot like Pica; if someone hit’s his skin balloon, he takes very little damage since he can freely move his real body around in the skin balloon. However he will take damage if his muscles, bones, and organs are damaged

I believe this form will be based on low elasticity. So how will this help him? Well here is just a thought on what i think controlling elasticity could do

So say this picture represents Luffy’s arm after he uses skin balloon, now by controlling elasticity i believe he will do something like this

Now if you are confused by my shitty drawing skills, this is basically what i am talking about

• Luffy will decrease the elasticity in certain parts of his skin to reshape parts of his skin into new limbs

Now if Luffy uses this power at full potential, he would probably look a lot like this

Luffy would reshape the skin in his body into thousands of new arms. this could be used to defend against enemies that would use luffy’s huge size in fatman to outmaneuver him. Furthermore this could also be used to create the ultimate gatling; we all know that Luffy probably has a move called “kong gatling” which is a gatling version of kong gun that would deal massive damage to opponents. Now with fatman, Luffy could do a “thousand arm gatling” that would be him using kong gatling in each of his arms

This is a pic of how Luffy in fatman mode would use gatling

First he focuses all the air and into the skin near his fists; this means that he is no longer protected by his skin balloon, but rather he 2 huge skin balloons near his fists. He then reshapes all the skin near his fists into their own fists; this means that Luffy will have thousands of fists made of skin growing off his hands; when using gatling, he will make each and every one of these fists use kong gatling
****************************************

As i said before; Luffy will have a problem with speed when he is using fatman. So how will he fix this? Well i believe he will take his body to the absolute limit. He will do this by using all of his haki, combined with his physical strength to compress the all the air inside of fatman into a body the size of Luffy. By doing this Luffy will have to go full body CoA; however his skin will actually begin tearing from the pressure, his skin would also be heated up to insanely high temperatures do to the cells in his skin overworking. This would cause parts of his skin to begin to burn up, making Luffy’s skin look something like this

So what will burnman be like:

• Luffy will now be as tall as Doflamingo
• his skin would be completely covered in armament; but of few of these spots on Luffy’s skin would be burning do to the heat
• he would now be extremely heavy, but be small in comparison
• Luffy will now be able to go fast, while keeping the same power as fatman
• this form will be based on high elasticity; because of the insane elasticity Luffy’s body will be at, Luffy’s body would act almost as if he was vulcanized(he would not be vulcanized, but he would be as elastic as vulcanized rubber)

How would burnman fight? Well here’s what i am thinking:

• he would do techniques like kong gun and leo bazooka still; however due to the insane amount of pressure Luffy would be containing, when he contracts his fist, the air would burn up almost instantly. When Luffy releases the punch, his attack would look almost like a hiken(but it would be stronger). Just one kong gun in burman-mode could potentially take out an island
• Luffy would be fast and heavy at the same time; meaning he would have insane momentum with his punches
• due to Luffy’s skin being full of highly compressed gasses, even someone like Zoro would have a hard time trying to cut Luffy

*Theory by Monkey D Theories

We all know the theories made that claim that Usopp’s lies actually become reality.

And we know that it was confirmed by the color spread in Chapter 796

Therefore, what Usopp said at Skypeia could actually come true

Usopp states that he once played with this “molecular substance” which is the pyrobloin or pairopuroine.
In this theory I will explain what actually is this Pyrobloin and what I believe Usopp will do with it.

Part 1

What actually is Pyrobloin?

Pyrobloin is a substance ( not really sure what kind of substance it is because many sources state that pyrobloin is either an element, a compound or a molecule which are all different things based on chemistry) found in the molecular makeup or structure of Seastones. This substance helps to create Sea Clouds because when Pyrobloin is ejected from erupting volcanoes it reacts with the water vapor in the air and forms the Sea Clouds.

Seastone=pyrobloin + other unknown substances

Pyrobloin is not the same as Seastone.
Pyrobloin is just one of the substances that makeup seastone.

Its just like how certain rocks are made up of different minerals.

So Pyrobloin by itself does not weaken Devil Fruit users and therefore does not have the same essence as the sea!

If you look at this image you can see that Luffy displays no discomfort while walking on the Sea Cloud. He even states that he can swim and sail in it.

Also, in this image you see Luffy and Chopper comfortably running on the Sea Cloud

Part 2

I believe that Usopp will find the pyrobloin by either the crew going to another Sky Island or by encountering a scientist that is studying it (maybe Vegapunk). I believe that Usopp will be clumsy and accidentally mix the pyrobloin with some “mysterious substance”. When they are mixed, a new compound will be formed.

When examined further, it will be revealed that this new compound is highly reactive when placed near seastone, causing the seastone to deteriorate.

This new substance will be known as the Seastone Neutralizer

Because Pyrobloin is released during volcanic eruptions there may be Seastone inside the volcano. Because of the intense heat in the volcano, some unknown minerals in the volcano may give off this “mysterious substance” that reacts with the pyrobloin in the Seastone. As a result, the Seastone breaks down and Pyrobloin is released from the volcano.

This substance would be useful because if Luffy is ever subdued by seastone cuffs, Usopp can just use the Seastone Neutralizer and easliy destroy the Seastone.

If for some reason this new compound gets mass produced, it could be a big threat to the WG because there is now a way for devil fruit users to break free from seastone prison cells and seastone cuffs!

Usopp will utilize this new compound in his weaponry by applying it to his projectiles.
When this projectile coated with this new compound comes in contact with Seastone it will make the seastone brittle and break apart.`

Thanks for reading my theory, tell me what you think!

*Theory by Primordial Sky

A lot of buzz about Sanji is being built up, including from the main man himself. 2016 will be the YEAR OF SANJI, according to Oda. So all things seem to be going well.

So a lot of theories about Sanji have been popping up in various places. He’s the son of one of the Gorosei, he’s a super secret alien being, he’s the weapon Uranus, he’s a Celestial Dragon, he married Big Mom, etc. Everything under the sun has been talked about for death, and most likely Oda is going to blow our socks off even if it falls into our expectations of him being royalty or something similar. But I have a different proposition, one that hasn’t been discussed, but is something I’ve wanted to address for a long time.

For the longest time, I’ve had a hard time figuring out how the Underworld Brokers will fall into the story. In Punk Hazard, they were introduced in oddly specific silhouettes, suggesting they’ll be a future villain group in the series that the Strawhats will potentially face at some point. However something about their place in the series isn’t right. The Strawhats really have no reason to go after the Underworld Brokers themselves, especially since Franky is already connected to them in some way historically and he doesn’t seem to be on bad terms with them as far as we know.

I think the next arc will feature Sanji as the main character, and it’ll focus on him dealing with these Underworld Brokers.

That’s basically the gist of this theory, but I’ll explain….

So as we know from Sabaody Island, the Underworld and the Celestial Dragons are the bread and butter of corruption in the One Piece world. We’re introduced to this in a very clear and easy to understand manner, but a lot of the subtle implications I think were missed here. For one, it establishes the source of slavery comes directly through the Underworld via the broker Disco and in turn is orchestrated by Joker aka Doflamingo. As we see in Dressrosa later on, Doflamingo also supplies SMILE and weapons to various people as well, causing chaos and destruction everywhere as we’ve seen.

Let’s also look at a prominent place in this arc. Flevance. Hometown of Law, and one of the biggest tragedies in the series yet. The World Government allows Flevance to rot, just for Amber Lead And while it’s not specifically stated by any means, it establishes the priorities of the Celestial Dragons above human life itself. Also, I think it’s obvious if something as precious as Amber Lead is involved somehow that involves potentially illegal means of neglectance, that the Underworld as well is intertwined with the tragedy of Flevance.

In fact, North Blue seems to be a hot spot for tragedy. Noland, Doflamingo’s childhood, X-Drake’s childhood, potentially Sanji’s childhood tragedy. I do not think this is a coincidence, nor do I think one of the leading men of the Underworld (Doflamingo) being from North Blue is a coincidence either.

North Blue is controlled by the Underworld Brokers.

While the Underworld Brokers are scattered across the world, I think their secret lies primarily in North Blue. While North Blue is still in control by the World Government, I think the Underworld Brokers have cut a deal with the World Government sometime in the past to maintain peace between the two factions, by allocating the bulk of their resources in the North Blue. I also think this is how Doflamingo become a leading provider in the Underworld, with his Celestial Dragon past he’s practically inherited the role.

So let’s get back to Sanji. Sanji, as we know, was born in North Blue. North Blue as we’ve already seen in a place of deep tragedy and corruption, and it’s very likely the story Oda will tell about Sanji will be seeped with both as well. First off, I will say I subscribe to the theory that Sanji IS a Celestial Dragon or the son of someone high up in the World Government. It’s pretty obvious if you think about it, because the only two ways Sanji could’ve entered East Blue from North Blue as a child is through Reverse Mountain, or Mariejois. And if you re-read the Reverse Mountain part, everyone on the crew is shocked and surprised by the EXISTENCE of Reverse Mountain, including Sanji. This suggests the only possible way for him to travel to East Blue from North Blue is through Marijeois (climbing the Red Line is possible, but he’s a kid so give him break, lol).

Specifically, I think Sanji represents Satan, the Prince of Darkness himself…

PRINCE is the key word here. Sanji is also known as Mr. Prince, and Prince of Dumbass Kingdom according to Zoro. Sanji IS the Prince of Darkness, because his father is none other than…

 

While we don’t know who he is exactly, I think if one was to tie the knot of everything I’m discussing together, it would be establishing Sanji as both being a prince of royalty and a prince of the underground.

King is the LEADER of the Underworld Brokers. He’s like a mafia boss of sorts, while someone like Doflamingo is more of a wildcard despite being one of the leading people of the Underworld, King is the one that brings order to the whole operation and provides structure to the chaos. With joker’s defeat, the Underworld is going to be abuzz, and what better way to address it with something like a Sanji side-arc?

Now don’t get me wrong, this is a pretty huge jump, but if you think about the placement of all of these story elements, it only makes sense for Oda to resolve the Underworld Brokers thing BEFORE Luffy takes down someone like Kaidou or Big Mom.

What if Big Mom’s crew recognized Sanji’s place as King’s son? Basically their encounter on Zou could’ve ended up with them telling Sanji that his father put out a WANTED ALIVE poster for him, and to cut a deal with Big Mom he gave up Ceasar to appease them away from Zou and Sanji. Then, Sanji went on a personal journey to infiltrate the Underworld Brokers to confront, and potentially defeat, his father.

Tamago AND Pekoms as well are both Underworld Brokers, and it’s possible Capone with his mafia theme is one as well. To me, this is a sure-fire sign that we’re going to deal with Underworld Brokers in a big way in the near future, and I highly doubt it’ll be a situation that gets resolved on Whole Cake Island or Wano. It fits near perfectly for Sanji to infiltrate the Underworld in secrecy, just like how he infiltrated Baroque Works which was also a secret group of people.

Only this time, for Sanji, it would be personal, since he’d be confronting his father: KING.

I know this is a bit fanfictiony, but I think this is a distinct possibility that Oda might be going for with the Underworld in One Piece. So what do you think?
