Summary
One Piecehasspawned many theories about what its knotty gem could be , some outrageous , others surprisingly cohesive . Although it has been over two decade since Gol D. Roger incited the chase for the legendary gem , no one has come up even close to finding it yet , leaving the nature of the treasure a Brobdingnagian mystery .
WhileLuffy and Straw Hats have finally uncover the way to find Laugh Tale , the last island where the OnePiece lie in wait , it might be a while until they really get there . Fortunately , despite how tight - lipped the series has been about the treasure , there is a slim possible action that one of the many theories proposed by rooter over the age could end up being good . One matter that fans experience for sure is thatthe One Piece is an real , physical " treasure"and not something conceptual like " friendly relationship " , as Oda himself confirmed .
Elusive as the One Piece may be , this popular theory suggest the secret to its location may lie down in Roger ’s very first lines in the series .
7The One Piece Could Be a Spaceship
Luffy’s final adventure could take him to the moon
One ofOne Piece ’s most challenging cover stories that is yet to reveal its import isEnel ’s Great Space Mission , which coversEnel ’s adventure since heading to the Moon . The cover story spans six volumes and 38 chapters , wee it the secondly - longest cover story in the series . In it , Enel attain an ancient civilization in a cave beneath the lunation ’s surface . The paintings on the paries of this ancient urban center reveal that the Sky people were originally from the Sun Myung Moon before they migrate to the blue satellite ofOne Pieceafter running out of resources .
Enel ’s cover account has led to many theories that the One Piece could actually bea rocketship to take Luffy and the Straw Hats to their next adventure , which will be in spaceafter they have amply explore the seas . assure as Enel discovered the existence of automated miniature golem on the moon , many have theorized that these ancient lunar month people could be connect to the Ancient Kingdom , which Vegapunk discover was even more in advance than Egghead . As fun as this theory sounds , there is no other grounds stomach it , stool it an improbable outcome for the last gem .
6The One Piece is an Ancient Weapon
The treasure could help Luffy destroy the Red Line
One of the old theories inOne Pieceis that the net treasure could be one of the hefty Ancient Weapons . do it as Pluton , Poseidon , and Uranus , the Ancient Weapons are highly covetable for their immense power . In the other days of the series , many fans speculated that the One Piece could be all three of the Ancient Weaponsbut this has since been disproved with the revelation that Shirahoshi is Poseidon and that Pluton is cover under Wano . This impart only Uranus which is hypothecate to be theweapon used by Imu to ruin Lulusia .
There is a possible action that there could be another orphic Ancient Weapon at Laugh Tale that has n’t been uncover yet but considering everything Oden ’s flashback revealed about the treasure and Roger ’s response to seeing it , this outcome seems highly unconvincing . One understanding for this hypothesis was thatLuffy would require the help of a weapon system of such magnitude to put down the Red Lineand fulfill Madam Sharley ’s prediction that Luffy would someday cause Fishman Island ’s demolition . However , withthe divine revelation of Gear Five , it appears this may no longer be the case .
This simple-minded connexion may explain every One Piece mystery story include Devil Fruits , the Lunarians , and the enigma of the Void Century .
5Laugh Tale is the Emerald City
The One Piece is hidden in the left eye of Jaya
The Jaya and Skypeia arc have inspired many possibility about the titular treasure , the most well - bed being one by Reddit user50thsunwhich claims thatthe One Piece could be thecity of emerald , which was once locate in the left centre of Jaya . During the Skypeia arc , the Straw Hats find that Skypeia and Jaya were once a peculiar island in the shape of a skull with Jaya being the mouth . Shandora , the city of amber , was afterward bring out to be the proper eye of the skull , while oddly nothing was said about the left eye .
In the Jaya arc , Bellamy ridicules dreamers like Luffy for believing in things such as the One Piece , the urban center of gold , and the emerald metropolis . However , the Skypeia arc goes on to turn out Bellamy was faulty about the urban center of amber , while Whitebeard later on corroborate that the One Piece is also real on Marineford . All that remain is the emerald metropolis and this theory speculates it could be none other than the island of Laugh Tale , splice the three legend together .
Proof for this theory mainly stem from theheavy symbolism in the series center around the left eye . Characters like Shanks , Zoro , and even Luffy all seem to have a scratch on their remaining middle . The cover of Volume # 27 also portray Luffy winking with his left eye , further suggest at its significance . finally , the Wano Arc reveals that King , the last outlast Lunarian , also has a tattoo that circles around his left-hand center , further deepening the mystery .
The Jaya Arc is also pregnant for introducing Blackbeard , who will become one of the main antagonists of the serial .
That said , the theorydoes not provide any account for where the Emerald Citywent or how it might have been moved from the left-hand eye of the skull . As interesting as it may be , this theory also does not fit in with the latest information provide about the gem in Oden ’s diary , but the series could bear witness otherwise .
4Joyboy’s Memories and Adventures are the Real Treasure
Roger laughed at the story of Joyboy’s misadventures
One popular theory that has been around for a while is thatthe One Piece is a record of Joyboy ’s adventures or his memories . At Sabaody , Rayleigh dropped a essential hint about Laugh Tale and the One Piece when he break that they learned about the history of the world there . after in Wano , Oden ’s flashback confirmed that Roger and his crew did indeed learn about the Void Century , the Ancient Weapons , the truth about the D Clan , and specially about Joyboy , who appear to be a major bod from the time .
Roger reveals that the One Piece is in fact a treasure leave behind by Joyboy , " a story full of laughs " which inspires him to name the island Laugh Tale .
This led to theories thatthe funny tale that made Roger and his crowd laughter was none other than the taradiddle of Joyboy ’s lifeand adventures . If Joyboy ’s personality was anything at all like Luffy ’s it is n’t hard to envisage why Roger burst out laugh learning of his misadventure . The idea that Joyboy might have similarly spread laugh as Nika even when he was alive also adds another level of depth to this possibility .

The Zanzibar copal adaptation of chapter # 967 leaves what could be another crucial clue that supports this theory . In episode # 968 , just as Oden get to write about the concluding island and what they discovered there , Binks ' Sake , which had been playing until then , fade out and is supercede by the serial ' first terminate root word , " Memories , " which plays throughout the scene of Roger and his crowd laugh until Roger settle to name the final island Laugh Tale .
This theory has take multiple forms since it first surfaced . Some have theorized thatJoyboy ’s adventures are recorded on a Poneglyphalong withthe the true about the Void Century , but this would partially defeat the purpose of the Road Poneglyphs . The Egghead Arc gave rise to another variation of this hypothesis when it expose Kuma ’s memories were being preserved at Egghead using the powers of the Paw - Paw fruit .
However , it is not exculpated how this house of cards of memories could have survived for centuries if Joyboy used the same method . The house of cards would have vanished after Roger and his crew happen it , as Kuma ’s computer storage house of cards also disappear after Bonney looked through Kuma ’s memories . However , this hypothesis does not explicate why Roger ’s work party were supposedly too early cast doubt on whether it could really be reliable .
3The One Piece is a Comic Book Joyboy Loved
The treasure connects people like Eiichiro Oda’s manga
Another theory is that Joyboy ’s treasure isa risible Bible much like theOne Piecemanga , as Roger seem to be holding what could be a comic book in a panel in chapter # 967 . This comic might be a record of Joyboy ’s adventures , or better yet , a fictional tale that barrack Joyboy to become Nika . Originally posted on Reddit byu / RoronoaLuffyZoro , this theory proposes thatthe One Piece isa comic book that kept Joyboy companyduring the glum time of the Void Century and might have tie hoi polloi all over the world much like Eiichiro Oda’sOne Piecehas in the real world .
In fact , the word " One Piece , " which is written as " hito - tsunagi no dai - hiho " in Japanese , can be interpreted in three ways , one of which bear on to something that link people . Nika may have been no more than a character within this fabricated storythat brought Joyboy laughter through his silly cartoonish trick . Joyboy may have want to become like Nika ( much like Bonney does in the present tense ) and his desire to similarly bring smiles and exemption to people is peradventure what clear him the moniker " Joyboy " in the first place .
The in advance power of technology might have then made this desire a reality through the creation of the Nika Fruit , which hadpowers that get along quite literally out of a comic Word of God . This is further corroborate byGear Five ’s cartoonish visual aspect and goofiness , which Kaido also claims look like " something from a amusing strip . " This risible book may have been what instigate Joyboy to rebel against the twenty kingdom and drove similar - disposed people to ring together with him , all of whom possibly took on the mysterious " 500 " initial .
Hence , it make sentience that this comic book would be Joyboy ’s greatest gem , especially considering howthe concept of gem is highly immanent inOne Piece . Luffy ’s hoarded wealth is his straw hat , Brook ’s is his afro , Robin ’s is history , and Big Mom ’s is a portrait of Mother Carmel , which goes to prove Joyboy ’s treasure need n’t be Au and riches . That articulate , this theory also does not explain why Roger ’s crew claim they were too other or how this gem could flex the world upside down as Whitebeard claimed , making it an improbable outcome despite how fitting it would be .
One Piece has just introduced the Buccaneer subspecies , and their connecter to Nika may finally reveal Joyboy ’s shocking dead on target individuality .
2The One Piece Could Be a Huge Golden Gong
The bell of Shandora foreshadowed the One Piece treasure
Proposed by X user@StrawHatUFO , this theory conjecture that the One Piece could be a massive gong . The theory is mainly based on the fact thatmusic has always been a crucial part ofOne Piece , measure even by Luffy who has wanted his crew to have a player since the very start . Music is also close associated with felicity , as seen from the legend of Sun God Nika , who is said to bring joy to people with the unequalled speech rhythm of his flash .
EvenZunesha appears overjoyed at hearing Nika ’s heartbeatin chapter # 1046 , where he claims his " heart is dance . " IfNika ’s trice is the rhythm , then surely there must be a song or a melodic instrument to go along with it , and this possibility reflect it could be a gargantuan golden gong that would put the Vanessa Stephen of Shandora to ignominy . In fact , the " Piece " inOne Piececould even be taken to mean a piece of music or a paper , perhapseven the notorious Binks ' Sake , which has been the object of many popular theories about the One Piece .
The possibility also points out how the tam-tam may have beenforeshadowed all along in Luffy ’s straw hat , which pass for a gongwhen looked at from above . The straw hat has been teased to defend more significance beyond passing down Roger ’s will and fate as seen from the giant straw lid at Mariejois , which could be another insidious clue left by Oda .
The true nature of the One Piece may have been foreshadowed even as betimes as chapter # 15 , which is curiously titled " Gong " despite the chapter make no mention of a gong of any variety . However , the chapter does include plenty of talk about treasure between Buggy and the mayor of Orange Town . Moreover , One Piece : Stampede , which is centered around Roger ’s treasure and ascertain Laugh Tale , interestingly has an ending theme called " GONG"which could be yet another star patch of foreshadowing via the moving-picture show .
If the One Piece is truly a gong as this theory speculates , then perhaps the decision Luffy will have to make upon pass on Laugh Tale will be whether or not to strike the tam-tam . Luffy might even be the only individual who can do so if the gong is really so massive that it requires Nika ’s powers to play it . The fact that chapter # 967 pertain to the One Piece as a " immense gem " is all the cogent evidence that it is not just any gong which could in release explain why Roger and his crew were too other and were not the one destined to employ the gem .
The reverberations of this massive chime would be felt all across the human beings , figuratively turn it upside down as Whitebeard claimed at Marineford . It might even beplayed after Luffy kill the World Government , mirror how he light upon Shandora ’s golden bellto signalize the conflict was over during Skypeia .
1The One Piece is Actually Sake
Binks' Sake holds the key to the mystery of the treasure
The most likely hypothesis about the One Piece is one pop the question by Youtuber@TheLibraryofOhara , who hypothesizes that the last treasure is actually sake . The possibility is based mainly on the sea shack Binks ' saki whose lyric supposedly reveal not only the truth about the Void Century but also the One Piece , which is simplysake left behind by Joyboy to be shared with the entire world .
interest has often been used to forge bond throughoutOne Piece .
If " One musical composition " truly refers to something that link people as its etymology suggests , then interest would be perfect for the problem . rice beer has often been used to work bonds throughoutOne Piece , the first example being with Ace , Sabo , and Luffy , who shared a bottleful of sake to become comrade . Another excellent illustration is when the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was organise , where the captain pledge their loyalty by convert sake . This possibility also speculates thatLuffy ’s real ambition inOne Pieceis to contrive the biggest company in the world and rally sake with the whole world , a exploit that would very much require Luffy to become the King of the Pirates .
The proof for this theory lies inthe language of Binks ' Sakeitself , whoselast communication channel refer to a " never , ending , ever - wandering , laughing tale . “The song also let the cat out of the bag of " birds singing as they draw circles in the sky " which@TheLibraryofOharainterprets as a citation to the Kozuki kindred ’s crown ( which is quite literally a bird inside a circle ) and the Poneglyphs they carved which differentiate the truth about the Void Century . The birdsong also talks of saying goodbye to one ’s hometown , which could refer to the hoi polloi of the Ancient Kingdom get to flee from their homes . It also foreshadows several future events , such as the great storm that the approaching era will cause once Nika has awakened .
Thus , thetruth about the Void Century has been hiding under the World Government ’s nosein the form of a sea shanty just as the truth about the One Piece has been lying in plain heap . Binks ' Sake seem to be a song every plagiarizer knows or has heard of at least once , and one that brings joyfulness even to Laboon . As Brook disclose during Thriller Bark , the song has been blab out by pirate since ancient times , pop off down orally across multiple contemporaries , and sung through joy and sorrowfulness alike .
