Oda imitates art. #onepiece1076

(Piece on the right: Danaë, 1907 by Gustav Klimt) ImageImage
Danaë is a figure from Greek mythology. An oracle predicted that her son will kill her father. This led to her father imprisoning her in a tall brass tower.

However, Zeus, the king of the gods, desired her and impregnated her. Soon after, their child Perseus was born. Image
Perseus went on to become a hero - slaying the Gorgon Medusa and the sea monster Cetus.

Ultimately, he fulfils the prophecy - in a way that's typical of Greek tragedy, he kills his grandfather by accident. ImageImage
Does the relationship of Danaë and Zeus have a connection to the relationship between Nami and Zeus / Jupiter?

Maybe...? Interesting, isn't it?

One Piece Theory:

Imu’s lost child - Nami.

In this thread, I’ll explore how our favourite navigator might be connected to the Empty Throne.

This is a big one. Let's go.

#onepiece #onepiecetheory ImageImageImage
Now - let me start with a disclaimer. This theory can very well prove to be false. Still, I think it’s really fun to speculate about Nami’s origins.

I think Oda has something amazing planned; this is my guess on what that might be. ImageImage
For this particular theory, I’m going to talk about three things first: Imu, birds, and then Imu + birds.

I’ll then talk about how this might unfold in the story, and why Imu might soon come looking for the children that Bell-mère raised. Image

One Piece Theory:

The Destruction of the Red Line.

How it might happen, and how it’ll be connected to the treasure of the One Piece.

Let’s go!

#onepiece #onepiecetheory ImageImageImage
Before I start, I just want to leave a disclaimer that, as with my other theories, this will have some stretching and reaching. It’s what I do.

Still, I think it’s an idea worth sharing.

After all, how the do you destroy a continent?

Also, SPOILERS. Image
The theory that One Piece will end with the destruction of the Red Line has been around for a while.

My first exposure to it is this video from Morj, and apparently, the original Post might have been from the Arlong Park forum. Check it here:

One Piece Theory:

The trap that is Egghead Island.

Shrugging off sacrifices in the name of progress - in this thread, we’ll talk about why Vegapunk’s true target might be Kizaru.

#onepiece #onepiecetheory
As with most theories, this might seem far-fetched, and might prove to be completely off.

If you’re not into parallels, puns, and wild speculations, this won’t be for you.

But if you’re curious about the plan of the supposedly smartest man in the world, then let’s go.
I’ll talk about Vegapunk, his possible motives, and all that fun stuff in a little bit. I’ll talk about the puns in the recent chapters too.

First, let’s talk about bananas. More specifically, bananawanis.

(Wani = crocodile in Japanese.)

One Piece Theory:

The Origin of the Devil Fruits.

A theory that combines spirals, the broken horn, puns, and the recent lore from Egghead Island.

What if there was no Devil Fruit tree…?

#onepiece #onepiecetheory
A little disclaimer - as with most theories of mine this might prove to be false, and it’s definitely reaching in parts.

Like Vegapunk said - "This is only my theory."

However, I think it’s a fun idea worth sharing…because I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere else.

Let’s go.
Let’s recap what we know about Devil Fruits.

(1) Eating it grants users special abilities. In return, they lose the ability to swim.

(2) Vegapunk has said it’s the wish for the next step of human evolution - a result of wishes and desires.

One Piece Theory:

The “Man Marked By Flames”. Maybe it’s someone we’ve already seen…but we were just looking at the wrong place.

A possibility no one's brought up. Let's talk about White Mouse.

#onepiece
Other theorists have created content covering the prime suspects - from Kuzan, to Vegapunk and to even one of the Gorosei. I’ll link these at the end.

These are all possible.

In this thread, I want to offer a possibility that ties together a revelations from recent chapters.
First, let’s recap what we know about the “man marked by flames”.

According to Killer, getting him will help them stay ahead in the scramble for One Piece.

When he was brought up, Luffy expressed cluelessness, Law gave a dark expression and Robin had a literal question mark.

One Piece Theory:

Imu’s identity.

The three known Ancient Weapons were named after Gods - Poseidon, Uranus and Pluton. Could there be a God that inspired Imu? I think so. 👀

In this thread, I’ll explore Imu’s connection to an ancient God. Let’s go.

#onepiece #onepiecetheory ImageImageImage
Obviously, there’ll be spoilers in this thread - so proceed with caution.

As we go into the Final Saga, it’s a huge mystery - who sits at the Empty Throne? How powerful must they be for the Gorosei to bow down to them?

Most importantly, what’s their connection with Joy Boy? ImageImage
I think Imu’s true identity (or inspiration) is Juno.

No, I don’t mean, the movie, featuring the young character who confronts her unplanned pregnancy. (highly recommended btw, go check it).

I’m talking about the Roman Goddess, Juno - Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth. ImageImage
