Luffy sure amazed us and looked so “hardo boildo” when he showed the G2 for the first time, it was a new power-up and it was the first time he showed how useful his Devil Fruit actually is. Right after that he exceeded all out expectations by showing G3. It was the best fight ever! Half giant Luffy and with the side affect (the side affect is that Luffy becomes small after it’s use) was going way over the top.

Now on the current Dressrosa arc, we have seen the new power-up – G4(still only in manga version). It kinda looks like Nightmare Luffy.

Luffy coats his arm in Busoshoku Haki before biting into his forearm. Similar to how he activates Gear Third, he blows an incredible amount of air into his body, but this time he inflates his muscular structure before distributing the air throughout his body, with emphasis on his upper half. Luffy’s proportions become warped and his body becomes much larger in size, with his arms, upper torso, and legs coated in Busoshoku Haki. The coating across his torso resemble the wispy ends made from flames, giving it the appearance of tattoos, and he also gains shading around the inner and outer edges of his eyes. He also physically grows taller, standing around 4 meters tall.

Now will there even be a Gear 5? What could G5 be? Could it perhaps have something to do with Smoker? Jokes aside, I can’t wait to see that one day.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Explanation of the theory’s nature:
Welcome to my new theory, I call this theory my ultimate “Wano Arc theory” as this theory, like no other I have made is a complete theory regarding the important Wano Arc.
I have previously made theories regarding it, and other things which you will see, but this one is the gathering of all of those theories and sources and their combination into a One Piece (pun intended).
As you have seen in the list of contents, this theory would be divided into several sections, unincluding this Introduction section we will begin by re-describing the known information about Wano in the series of One Piece.
Then I will describe my opinions and theories regarding the origins and influences of the Wano and it’s arc.
Afterwards, I will look into every known (And unknown as well) important plotpoint of the Wano arc.
At the end, I shall describe the fights in the end of the arc.

CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW OF WANO KUNI
All known info:
So far, we know that Wano Kuni is a country unaffiliated with the World Government, it is ruled by the Samurai- powerful Swordsmen.

Real-World influences:

Even it’s name basically shows the influnece- Wano Kuni. While Wa no Kuni was a name Japan received in it’s medieval era.
Also the existence of the Samurai show that.

The country then is most likely ruled by the Shogunate, ceremonically working under the Emperor (Who has no executive powers).
The country is also very isolated, like medieval Japan- and they seem to see Devil Fruits as “Sorcery”, showing how isolated they are.

CHAPTER 3: PLOTPOINTS IN WANO ARC
Strawhats are welcome in Wano:

As the Strawhats would get to Wano, alongside with the Heart Pirates, I believe that they will be respected.
However, at some moment, people will discover that Zoro is the one holding the Shusui- the Shogunate in the name of the Emperor will then chase the Strawhats.

However, I believe that as some moment, suddenly Zoro will be stopped near a statue of Ryuma, at that moment people will see their similarity and now Zoro is thought to be Ryuma’s descendant- leading the people to apologize for their actions.

Afterwards, the Strawhats will eat somewhere, I believe that at that moment an old man would try to grab the Shusui, Zoro would stop him, and the mysterious old man would disappear. This man would only arcs later be revealed to be Scopper Gaban.
The reason I think that is because of this pic:

Zoro learns to cut the elements:
Now that the Samurai are very sorry for their fight with the Strawhats, Zoro would ask if they can teach him how to cut the elements, and thus Zoro will train.
It will not be yet shown if he manages to do so or not.

CP9 and Ninjas:

Now we’ll see people we haven’t seen in a while, the CP9 group. They now live in Kumadori’s hermit house, the Strawhats would be cautious and surprised to se them.
Lucci might say that now he is a criminal as well for the World Government.

Lucci will note that he is now a broker in the Underworld yet he didn’t expect him to defeat Joker. Now he notes that the Strawhats should be extra careful in Wano, because it is more dangerous for them than what it seems.

At night, I think the Strawhats would be attacked by Ninjas, it will be yet unknown who ordered it, but of course it will be the Sei i Taishogun, leader of the Shogunate and basically ruler of Wano (As of now they’ll be convinced the Emperor is though)
I think Sanji is the one to quickly notice the Ninjas, I’ll explain why later.

Smoker and Tashigi undercover:

Smoker and Tashigi, undercover, visits Wano as well, Smoker would tell Tashigi that this is not a World Government territory and that they cannot expose themselves as Marines, therefore they stay undercover.
They see the Strawhats.

Musashi ruler of the Shogun:

As an apology, the Sei i Taishogun would invite the Strawhats, in order to apologize for earlier when the Shogun attacked them (Not in reality though).
To Zoro’s surprise, the leader of the Shogun is none else than Musashi, someone he knows from his past, and inspired him to become a Swordsman.

Zoro’s flashback:

For the full version, read the full theory, all the reasoning’s there.
For now I’ll say that Musashi was a traveling Swordsman, challenging people to duels, one day he arrived at Zoro’s village and probably defeated someone Zoro knew, either in a positive or negative way.
Afterwords, Zoro was inspired to be a Swordsman himself, and even surpass Musashi by not fighting with 2 swords, but 3.

Zoro’s fight with Musashi and the rebel Yoshinobu and the Emperor:

Zoro would invite Musashi to a duel, which he will say yes and they’ll begin fighting however it seems that Musashi is stronger.
Suddenly, one of the Samurais attempt to stab Musashi in the back however is stopped by Zoro.
Yoshinobu would warn Zoro, however it was too late- Musashi cut Zoro in the back. Yoshinobu quickly grabs Zoro and tells the Strawhats to run as well, as the entire Shogun chases them.

Now I’ll first tell you the influence of such a thing, well you see, until real-life Tokugawa Yoshinobu, a Sei i Taishogun took power, the Emperor wasn’t the real ruler of Japan, he was only an official figure when everything was in fact ruled by the Shogunate and the Sei i Taishogun basically.

So because of this influence I think the following will happen: When they hide Yoshinobu will tell them the history of Musashi and Wano.
Until some time ago, Wano was ruled by the Emperor, however one day came the powerful Swordsman Musashi, he defeated the commander of the Emperor’s Army, the previous Sei i Taishogun and seized power for himself, now he rules Wano with an iron fist and also turned Wano to a country for the Underworld trade- Musashi in fact serves the only man that ever defeated him- the broker “King”.

At some point, he became a Shichibukai, however Fujitora was very against him becoming a Shichibukai, as he is the one who blinded him. Well you see, Fujitora is none other than the previous Sei i Taishogun!

Now they, the rebels want to bring down Musashi and “King” and have the Emperor rule again.
Luffy would agree to help.

Tashigi and Smoker arrive:

The rebel’s leader would be revealed to be Kitetsu, the one who created Zoro’s Sandai Kitetsu, the cursed sword, he is also a hermit and a friend of Kumadori.
He is unnaturally old, and he will be the one to explain the concept of an “Entity” and he will reveal Asura is an Entity in the Sandai Kitetsu.
Because he is Kumadori’s friend, the CP9 would agree to help. Rob Lucci is a broker but he is a rival of King, and therefore also Musashi.
In fact, I believe that the headquarters of the rebels would be at Kitetsu’s shop, and because of that guess who will enter the store? Tashigi and Smoker.

Tashigi will be surprised (Not in a good way though) to find the Strawhats, especially Zoro.
Despite that, they’ll offer their help.

Arrival of King:
At that moment, the broker “King” will arrive, after Musashi noted to him that the Strawhats arrived, from now on we’ll see a fight between 2 forces for the rule- at one side King and the Shogunate at the other the Emperor and the rebels.

CHAPTER 4: FINAL BATTLE
List of duels with reasoning:
Now, all the Strawhats and their allies would fight, but I’d like to only note the important ones of them.

Roronoa Zoro vs. Musashi:
Obviously a very important fight, after all it’s Musashi who inspired Zoro to become a Swordsman, in this fight Zoro will use Asura again, and perhaps when even that won’t work- he’ll open his left eye, showing that in fact it is only there to be a restraint and in fact he is even stronger than that.
He will also show an ability to cut the elements in this fight.

EDIT: It is also possible that Zoro would take Musashi’s sword after defeating him, though it’s also possible he’ll just leave Musashi’s 2 swords for Tashigi.

Monkey D. Luffy vs. King:

According to my theory, King would be even stronger than Musashi and Luffy would fight him.

Sanji vs. the ninja leader:

I think that the Ninjas would be on Musashi’s side (He’ll hire them), during this fight Sanji would be able to turn invicible after learning it from the Ninjas they fought the night before, and by that also accomplishing one of his dreams.

Impact:

I think there will be a massive impact, the first is that after Musashi is defeated, the World Government at the Reverie would abolish the Shichibukai system once and for all.
I also think that it will mark a collapse of the Underworld trade and would lead to the big fight against Kaido in Kano Kuni.

So what do you think?

*Theory by Jewish Kaizoku

Hello once again everybody and welcome back to another theory for your entertainment. This time we shall dive into the origins of Monkey D. Dragon and the creation of the Revolutionary Army. This will talk about how Dragon meet Kuma, Ivankov and Dr. Vegapunk.

Before I start, I would first like to say that Monkey D. Dragon was NEVER an admiral. If he was, why is Dragon so mysterious and unknown even among the marines? Who could say that the Gorosei blacklisted him and erased his existence, but that still wouldn’t make sense becausepeople do not forget so easily. The existence of Avalo Pizzaro, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot and San Juan Wolf were erased for years and what happened when they showed up in Marineford? Random fodder marines with one glance knew their names, epithets and the crimes they commented.

Alright. Obviously Dragon is apart of the Monkey D family, but he seems so different from his son and grandfather(still think he is a “moron” though).

All three of them are from Goa country, which consist of Goa kingdom, Foosha Village and the Grey Terminal mountains. Like Luffy, Garp was raised in the mountains.

Dragon however, was raised in the Goa kingdom with the nobles. Garp was poor so he lived in the mountains, but since he was a marine, he had the funds to get a house in Goa kingdom where Dragon was born, to ensure that his son and wife would have a good life.

Garp of course, regularly took Dragon to the mountains to train him to be a marine, and Dragon developed a sense of justice very early in life. Dragon periodically went to Grey Terminal trash heap, where he became friends with the commoners and learned the value of human life.

Seeing the difference between the nobles and commoners made Dragon upset. He believed that everyone should be equal and was disgusted with how the nobles treat the commoners like trash and kills them off without batting an eye.

Dragon wanted to change Goa kingdom, but he didn’t have the power to do so. He didn’t want to become a marine because his father was a famous Vice Admiral who had little pull with the WG. Monkey D. Dragon joined the World Government itself or more specifically, Cipher Pol.

Dragon was “special” because he was the son of Garp and because was already very intelligent and strong(due to Garp’s training), he moved up the Cipher Pol’s like wildfire.

Dragon has always been curious about his D lineage, as even Garp has no idea what it meant. Dragon got really curious and confused because of this:

The rivalry between Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp.
Both men had ‘D’ in their name but according to Garp, they apparently come from different families and have no relation to each other.

While a member of Cipher Pol however, Dragon meet two people: Jaguar D. Saul and Dr. Vegapunk, who is also a ‘D’. Like Dragon, Saul was curious about his D lineage but he didn’t think too much about it. Vegapunk however, was very curius like Dragon. They became friends and Dragon was shocked to learn of the terrible experiments the WG make Vegapunk do. Despite that, two secretly worked together to find out more about their lineage.

Dragon always believed in moral justice, but his justice is very extreme just like Saul, who easily defected from the marines to do what he felt was right. Dragon time in Cipher Pol revealed quite a bit about the lies of the WG, but that is expected with a government system. Dragon’s disgust with the WG hit a boiling point when he was promoted to the same position as these guys:

Cipher Pol Aegis 0.

As a member of CP0, Dragon worked directly under the Tenryubitto and Gorosei. CP0 specializes in cover ups, blackmail, lies and murder and Dragon had a front row seat to the Gorosei and Tenryubitto’s corruption. He thought Goa kingdom was bad, but nothing compared to the Tenryubittos and they controlled the world. Dragon knew that freedom wouldn’t be realized as long as the current WG exist, but he still tried to change the WG from the inside.

Dragon came to loguetown 24 years ago to witness the death of a follow D that he questioned whether he was good or bad. The WG obviously says he’s a bad guy but from Garp’s stories, Gol D. Roger was a good man.


2 years after Roger was executed(22 years ago), Dragon was 100% convinced that he had no chance of changing the WG from the inside. The reason for that was because of the Ohara Massacre.

In this massacre, he learned from Kuzan that his friend Jaguar D. Saul was killed and that innocent refuges were slaughtered.


CP9 was tasked with making sure that the massacre was a success. If CP9 was informed, so was CP0 and….



Dragon overheard Clover’s speech. He knew that the WG was hiding something and it had to be destroyed. As long as the WG exist, there will be no freedom. Dragon defected from the WG but for the WG, he simply disappeared.

Dragon informed 2 people of his defection: Vegapunk and Kuzan. Vegapunk agreed with Dragon that a revolution was necessary and decided to remain in the WG as Dragon’s inside man, while Dragon carefully creates and expands his organization. Kuzan however, turned down the offer as he thought a revolution was too extreme and thought he could change the WG as a marine. Dragon never told his father because he’d knew Garp would try to stop him.

Now then over the past 22 years, Dragon has created the most dangerous organization that the WG has ever seen.

Vegapunk is a revolutionary spy in the WG.

And Dragon’s left and right hand is Emperio Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma.

They were with Dragon 12 years ago at Grey Terminal.

So in the timespan of 10 years, Dragon recruited Kuma and Ivankov. Lets into more detail with Kuma and Ivankov’s recruitment.

Ivankov was Dragon’s first revolutionary recruit. Reason I say this is because Ivankov seems to be the revolutionary who knows Dragon the best.

They even love watering snails together.

Now the question is, why did Ivankov join the revolutionaries? Well we need to recap on some things about Ivankov first.

Ivankov is the queen of Kamabakka Kingdom which translates to “Kingdom of Transvestites.”

I really don’t think transvestites are treated equally in the OP world as many men reacted indifferently to them(much like in real life). In Impel Down, the guards shouted “Look at what they are wearing!”, “What the heck are they wearing!?” and “They are dressed to kill!”

Kamabakka Kingdom is a place for freedom; where people can be what they want to be without being judged. Dragon meet Ivankov on Kamabakka island and treated him and everyone else on the island like an equal. Not only that, Dragon probably saved saved Kamabakka kingdom from WG agents who tried to destroy it. Kamabakka kingdom is just as well known as Amazon Lily, and they are famous for their body enchancing cuisine. Ivankov most likely turned down an offer to become allies with the WG, so the agents tried to back at them.

Anyways that’s just pure speculation but bottomline is that Dragon promised Ivankov to bring a world where everyone is free and Ivankov followed behind.

Here is where things get interesting. Unlike Ivankov, it wasn’t easy for Dragon to get Kuma to join.

What Ivankov said in Marineford implies that he and Kuma had a SERIOUS fight before. Not only that, Kuma also had a serious fight with Monkey D. Dragon.

Before I get into the fight between Kuma and Dragon, we must first understand Kuma. Obviously Kuma is a bear so lets look at what bears represent.

Bear is spirit keeper of the West, the place of darkness, maturity and good harvest. From this place, Grandfather Bear gives strength, introspection and knowledge.

Bears are active during the night and day. This symbolizes its connection with solar energy, that of strength and power, and lunar energy, that of intuition. It enhances and teaches those with this totem how to develop both within themselves.

Grandfather Bear is a solitary dweller and master of his domain. This teaches us the importance of independent thinking and to seek peace in quite meditation.

Bears are sensitive to Mother Nature’s cycles. They sleep long hours in the winter living on fat stored in their bodies. It teaches us how to go within and find the resources for survival and how to remain balanced amid change. This medicine is a reminder of the great circle of life and rebirth, renewal and fresh beginnings.

Bear is the embodiment of strength and is fierce to a threat on its lair. It is not wise to come between the mother bear and her cubs, teaching us ways to always protect those we love.

In Native American mythology, bears are known as the guardian spirits of the forest.

Smokey the Bear anyone?

Also, take a look at Kuma as a kid and that book he has. It says “Ninokin.”

It refers to Ninomiya Sontoku.

Ninomiya was a prominent agricultural leader, moralist and economist.

Bartholomew Kuma HATED the WG.

And that’s because the WG burned down Kuma’s village in the forest and it was no accident. Helping his people rebuild, Kuma was enraged and decided to become his people’s protector with his Paw Paw Fruit. Any trespasser would get blown away by Kuma.

Of course, Dragon and Ivankov came to the burned down forest and Kuma attacked. Dragon, who wanted to help the poor villagers, thought Kuma was responsible so he ordered Ivankov to hold off Kuma while he tended to the people. Dragon learned the truth from the citizens but before he could go anything, Kuma once again attacked him but he was able of emerge victorious.

Dragon told Kuma of his dream to destroy the WG and bring freedom to the world, but Kuma didn’t believe Dragon as he was a former WG agent. In order to be sure that Dragon was sincere, Kuma had a suggestion: when his village and forest was being burned down, Kuma repelled the pain of all the suffering villagers into a gigantic air bubble, and if Dragon can shoulder the pain of his people, Kuma will join the revolution.

Ivankov of course thought it as outrageous, but Dragon went for it. Much to the shock of Kuma and Ivankov, Dragon survived. This is where Ivankov witnessed Dragon’s inhuman vitality.

Dragon surviving that much pain was a miracle.

With hope that true freedom can be achieved for his people, Kuma joined the revolutionaries and became Dragon’s most loyal friend.

8 years ago, Dragon’s face became known to the world as revolutionary.

It was 12 years ago that Dragon saved the commoners of Goa kingdom.

12 years ago, the Revolutionary Army became active, targeting kingdoms to recruit suffering citizens who wanted freedom. However, during one of his expeditions, there was a big incident involving the marines.

I’m speculating, but I say Dragon had a run-in with the marines(with Doberman and Akainu present) and showcased his Conqueror’s Haki to escape a kingdom with new revolutionaries in hand. Dragon’s unnatural CoC brought forth a storm and blew away a marine fleet.

The Gorosei feared this man as they recognized his description. Monkey D. Dragon became the most wanted man in the world do to him knowing about the WG corruption from being CP0 agent, being Garp’s son, being a D, him looking for the poneglyhs and leading an organization that directly opposes the WG and it will continue to grow until the WG falls.

In the future, Dragon will recruit…

Koshiro. He is not a full-fledge Rev yet, but he is an ally. He gave the revs food after their time in Goa kingdom.

X. Drake. A marine turned pirate to pursue his own justice. Drake joined Kaidou because he wants to severe the WGs weapon shipment with the yonkou and take the said yonkou down.

CP9. They are in an alliance with Drake and believe that pirates will continue to run amok as long as the current WG exist.


Jewelry Bonney. Bonney hates the WG and all of her reasons for becoming a pirate will soon be gone.

Crocodile. The Croc will lose all ambition to find ancient weapons and will want to exact revenge on the WG for what they did to him.

Smoker. Smoker never held the WG in high esteem and his disgust will hit a boiling point when the WG tires to execute Tashigi

Kuzan. Kuzan is not a revolutionary yet but he will join once Akainu and WG executes the WG Takeover.

————————

*Theory by Vandenreich

Lot’s of people have dismissed Smoker’s Moku Moku no Mi as a very weak logia. I understand where you’re coming from, and the argument does make sense. Afterall, the high surface area of the Smoke he creates makes it easy to harm him and he lacks destructive power beyond what he can do with his own body and Jitte. But, the untapped potential of the fruit, possibly it’s awakening is startling. Truly frightening.

As we know, smoke is a biproduct of many chemical reactions. There are two types of chemical reactions: Endothermic and Exothermic. Most smoke is made from Endothermic reactions, in which heat is absorbed by chemicals, making the temperature of the smoke quite cold. This is what Smoker’s abilities are: his smoke is cold. And therefore lacks destructive power and ferocity, however, he will soon be able to use Exothermic Smoke, either as an awakening or a simple power up.

Why is Exothermic smoke a powerup? Glad you asked. This smoke has a very high temperature. Smoke we see from fires: Exothermic (up to 2000 decrees c approx). Smoke we see from eruptions: Exothermic (up to 8000 degrees c approx). Smoke from lightning strikes: Exothermic (up to 16000 degrees c approx). Smoke given off by stars and solar m*fokin flares: Exothermic (unlimited temperature but usually around 32000 degrees c). As you can see, that’s pretty hot! Exothermic chemical reactions release heat, making the products hot. So Smoker in theory could create smoke hotter than anything Sakazuki or Enel are capable of creating.

That’s right: Smoke > Magma and lightning

Other features of Exothermic smoke products: This includes being toxic and having a choking effect, Smoker could use this to hinder opponents. This has been foreshadowed through Smoker’s experiences with Caesar’s toxic smoke, he may copy techniques as such, which does make sense. The smoke can also cause damage to soft body tissues like eyes or skin. On top of that, when ignited, some smokes can explode. If Smoker were to light a cigar then bam:

So please, don’t write Smoker off just yet. The guy’s a future monster.

*Theory by L o g i a

The future admirals will be Coby, Sentomaru and Smoker. These three all have one thing in common. They have some similarities to the 3 strongest marines in Roger’s era i.e. Garp, Sengoku and Zerphy.

1.Garp e Coby:

-Base of operation: Both are located at the hq.
-Fighting style: Hand to hand combat. Some elements of their fighting styles are similar since Coby is Garp’s apprentice
-Partners: Garp had Bogard while Coby has Helmeppo. Both partners carry a bladed weapon.

-Both have a deep trust with their pirate rival: Garp with Roger, Coby with Luffy
-Sense of justice: Their sense of justice is the same. They will sit and drink with pirates they consider as friends but when the tym comes they will hunt them down without holding back.

Coby will surpass Garp and inherit his will. He will also inherit part of Garps nickname just like Sanji inherited the “leg” from Zeref.

2. Sengoku and Sentomaru:

-Appearance: When Sengoku is using his df he turns into a Buddha giant. He looks similar to a sumo wrestler which is similar to Sentomaru.
-Fighting style:

-Both use their palms to fight. Both their palms release energy blasts. Sengokus is a shockwave while Sentomaru is a CoA haki blast.
-Sense of justice:Both follow a similar sense of justice. They have respect for pirates who they feel deserve respect. They both are disgusted with pirates who are not worthy of their respect. They will fight them without holding back. They don’t hate pirates but they feel that it is their duty as marines to stop them.

Sentomaru will surpass Sengoku and will inherit his will.

3. Zerphy and Smoker:

-Base of operation: Both are stationed at G-5 in New world.
-Weapons: Both use kairoseki weapons. Smoker with his Jutte and Zerphy with his arm.

-Nicknames: Both their nicknames have a colour theme. Zerphy is black while Smoker is white
-DF: Zerphy has no df while Smoker has a df.
-Sense of justice: They both believe in the same justice. Pirates are evil while marines are good. They live in a black and white world. Both are strong believers of justice
-Both their beliefs in the marines and WG change over time. Zerphy left the marines as a result.
-Their character themes are opposite in some aspects. One has a df with a white color theme while the other has no df with a black color theme

Smoker will surpass Zerphy and inherit his will. Since they are opposite to each other, Smoker will be able to do what Zerphy could not. that is to change the marines and to change his mentality from a black and white one to a gray one.

That is why I believe these 3 people will be the admirals in the future.
Thanks for reading. All feedback is welcome. Be it good or bad.
