Roger Pirates

The Roger Pirates were the crew of the late Pirate King Gol D. Roger and was supposedly the only crew to ever reach Raftel. 

This was the crew that traveled around the Grand Line together and the things they did were part of legends.

Ironically, only the captain and the first mate seem to have been remembered while the rest of the crew have apparently faded out of memory, all save those still active like Shanks and Buggy.

The Roger Pirates’s ship, the Oro Jackson, was constructed by the most skilled shipwright of the era, Tom. The ship had a large cannon in the front surrounded by a pair of mermaids. This cannon was powerful enough to destroy an entire ship.

The Roger Pirates jolly roger is the traditional skull in One Piece with a mustache that resembles Gol D. Roger’s mustache.

    THE ORO JACKSON CAN BE FOUND IN THE SEA FOREST

    While researching something odd I had noticed, an idea occurred to me. What if the Oro Jackson is located in the Sea Forest

    Remember the sea Forest?

    This was a place where sunken ships would cluster due to the ocean currents around fishman island. Because so many shipwrecks can be found here it is called a ‘ship graveyard’.

    My first thought is, what a great place to hide a ship, amidst the wreckage of many ships.

    But the sea forest doesn’t just hide the Oro Jackson, if it’s there. We already know it hides the Poneglyph of Apology.

    It’s also the current home of the Noah, as the fishmen look to rebuild it after Luffy manhandled it.

    The two objects the fishmen dont want discovered the most are both located in the sea forest. It doesn’t seem a stretch for it to possibly be hiding one more thing.
    ____________
    Question: So, if the Oro Jackson is located in the sea forest, who knows that it is there? Who’s protecting it?

    It certainly isn’t a stretch to imagine its under the protection of the only resident of the sea forest, Den, Tom’s brother. Given Tom was the original creator of the Oro Jackson this would be quite fitting.

    Also, isn’t it interesting his title is, “sea forest explorer and researcher”.. Oda is hinting that there may be certain curiosities about the sea forest just by creating such a title.
    ________
    Question: If the Oro Jackson is found who will sail in it?

    I believe that Rayleigh, Scooper Gaban, and Crocus at the very least will be present for the final battle. They will need a ship. This could be the Oro Jackson! How fitting!
    _________
    Conclusion:

    If the Oro Jackson still exists and is relevant to teh plot, I suspect it could be found in the sea forest of fishman island under the protection of Den.

    Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!

      Raftel’s Location Theory

      Raftel was first mentioned by Crocus, It is the last island of the Grand Line in which by assumption, One Piece is hidden, even Crocus supposedly didn’t know where Raftel and One Piece was hidden.

      raftel

      But actually, Crocus did know the location of Raftel. Naturally, Raftel is the final destination and the location of One Piece. That’s simple, just get to the final island right? So why nobody except Roger reached it? Because the island of Raftel is hidden.

      Let’s look at some statements from the manga first:

      1. We had been introduced to undersea volcanoes
      2. Winter Islands
      3. A very talented navigator
      4. A very formidable ship
      5. And Ship Coating

      So, what’s the point of these things?

      It’s the “way” to get to Raftel. The reason why no one reached Raftel is because Raftel is a “Rough Tale” or a legendary island. it’s an island that exists if you are willing to face dangers it presents.

      Raftel is a floating, man-made island in a sea that is hidden underground or more specifically, inside a land mass. It is a “Raft” Island, reason why no log pose can detect it.

      A pumice raft is a floating raft of pumice occasionally created by ocean-based or near-ocean volcanic activity. Biologists suggest that animals and plants have migrated from island to island on pumice rafts. Astrobiologists have hypothetically linked pumice rafts to the origin of life.

      But where exactly is Raftel located?

      Remember the proverb: “Sometimes what you’re looking for is right in front of you?”, it exactly applies to where Raftel is hidden.

      Are you familiar with a pirate treasure map? Notice that the big X on every map is where the treasure is hidden.

      Now, look at the One Piece World Map. Do you see the treasure mark?

      Carte du Monde One Piece avec le nouveau Monde ou Shinsekai (New World Map). All Blue englobe GrandLine, RedLine, CalmBelt et les différents îles de Grand Line ainsi que les 4 mers de l'Univers du Manga One Piece d'Eiichiro Oda.

      Don’t see it? Take a closer look, the X is where the treasure is.

      opreversemountainpf9

      It’s right there. Raftel is inside the Reverse Mountain.

      But that doesn’t mean that anyone can be lucky enough to stumble Raftel one way or another right. It’s just the “way” to Raftel. Of course we need the “fare”, “guides” and “drivers”.

      And don’t you guys notice that though there is a way to get down to the Grand Line, there is no way to get back up on the other side? unless you’re in the Marines or a very strong pirate like Mihawk, going back to the 4 blues means you will have to backtrack until you reach the entrance to Reverse Mountain again.

      And I can’t imagine how you can climb back up that mountain, so basically there’s no turning back to the four Blues.

      This is where Luffy’s ability to hear “the voice of all things” comes in handy.

      By the way, don’t you guys notice something with the former members of Roger Pirates? Luffy met Shanks in his village, Crocus in Twin Capes and Rayleigh in Sabaody Archipelago. Let’s consider Shanks, Rayleigh and Crocus as the “guides”.

      What does this all mean?

      You guys must have observed that Crocus and Rayleigh settled in a place where ALL pirates must go through right? Twin Capes is the place where pirates needs to go through when entering the Grand Line and Sabaody Archipelago is where pirates must stop by to proceed to Fishman Island. Isn’t that weird? Like they intended to be there of all places.

      And isn’t it weird that out of all the people Shanks knew, he gave the Straw Hat to Luffy?

      My guess is, Shanks was the “guide” and caretaker of the Straw Hat who was appointed to search for “The One”.

      Seeing Luffy as “The One” they (The Roger Pirate Remnants) are waiting for, Shanks gave Luffy Roger’s Straw Hat to give sign to the other “guides”, Crocus and Rayleigh (and Gaban perhaps), that the successor to Roger’s will had arrived.

      If you guys remember, Shanks stayed at Fuschia Village for years, I assume Shanks that time was on a mission to find the “D” to follow Roger’s will, prior to that, I believe that Shanks first tried to “test” a guy named Marshall D. Teach, but that guy turned out to be a traitor, note that Shanks met Blackbeard before Luffy.

      Then harboring at Fuschia Village, Shanks met Luffy, another “D” and tested him, in which Luffy passed, so to assure that Luffy would come and become a pirate and ultimately arrive at the last island of New World where Shanks will wait, Shanks entrusted him the “Straw Hat” as a “fare” in which everyone close to Roger that will act as a “guide” will identify.

      Roger’s Straw Hat is the “fare” the “guides” had been waiting for to lead Luffy to Raftel.

      I do not know if Shanks had no interest in One Piece from the start, but one thing is fair to assume: he knows how to get there. But maybe he can’t or he knows they cannot reach it, or he simply just want Roger’s will to be fulfilled.

      So, in order to carry the will of Roger, I believe Shanks (and other members of Roger Pirates) have all decided to wait for “The One”.

      Here we see Crocus and Rayleigh expressing how they think Luffy is “The One”.

      crocus_rayleigh

      It had been said that the Roger Pirates had been gone for 1 year before Roger finally gave himself in.

      Probably, Roger planned everything and then instructed his most trusted crew members that the will to change the world should be passed to the next generation because his days are numbered and he cannot finish the job because of his conclusion on the Poneglyphs and because he lacks what Luffy “got” right now.

      Roger turning himself in, probably is his best way to be a fire-starter and create a new age of Pirates. (Like what Dr. Hiluluk did, with Isshou 20) and using One Piece as the prize so people would get interested.

      So the “guides” jobs are fulfilled right? Not yet.

      Their job is not yet done and in fact all the “guides” have not been found yet. There’s still one: Scopper Gaban.

      Where would the crew meet Gaban?

      If my calculations are correct, the crew will meet Gaban, like Rayleigh and Crocus, in a place where all paths converge to one, and in Grand Line, there are only 3 of them: Twin Capes, Sabaody Archipelago and Raftel. Scopper Gaban is most likely on Raftel.

      The place where the different paths will converge into one once again, but this time, only one group will reach Raftel and Gaban is the guard of that place in case someone not worthy escapes Shanks’ station.

      The “guides” job would be complete after the right one reaches Raftel.

      1. Shanks roaming around the world looking for the guy who would bear the Straw Hat.
      2. Crocus stationed in Twin Capes so he can relay the information to Gaban that the one they are waiting for had arrived.
      3. Rayleigh making sure that “The One” would reach the New World safely.
      4. Shanks waiting at the final island of the New World, expecting that the invested promise he put on “the Straw Hat” will really arrive.
      5. Shanks being the guard to stop anyone who would go after “The One”.
      6. Scopper Gaban keeping guard of One Piece and Rio Poneglyphs until “The One” arrives.

      I suppose Gaban is this guy chilling with Crocus in the Twin Capes since he just needs to get out of the Reverse Mountain.

      image

      Wait, what? Get out of Reverse Mountain? Going in is extremely hard, how the hell can you get out of that place?

      Same way how the Thousand Sunny will get out after getting to Raftel. By coming out of the center of Reverse Mountain, like this:

      going_out_of_mountain

      And I think it had been foreshadowed with the Strawhats meeting whales on the key points of their journey, twice: after entering the Grand Line and after entering the New World.

      When they enter Raftel, it would be like meeting a whale, the whale, though, is the Red Line and Reverse Mountain itself, because Raftel is like being swallowed by a large whale and blowing you out of his hole in his head. The frenzy entrance to Reverse Mountain to Grand Line and being sucked out by a White Strom also appeared to me as a hint of the crazy ride out the Reverse Mountain.

      Basically, going out of the Reverse Mountain is as crazy as entering the Knock-Up stream. (now that I thought about it, entering Skypiea also gave foreshadowing of being like swallowed by a whale and going out like being blown upwards) and Luffy’s arrival (being sucked in by a whirlpool and coming out of a barrel upwards).

      That’s right, going out of Reverse Mountain is the same principle as of the Knock-Up Stream, the only difference is, there’s a twist.

      Not only is the Reverse Mountain a winter island, which is why it pushes the water out to grand line, It also has an underground volcano inside it, that produces a whirlpool that creates strong upward currents for the four Blues’ oceans.

      reverse_diagram

      Here’s the idea of Knock-Up Stream, this is what’s right below the hole of the Reverse Mountain I assume, an underground volcano.

      knockup_diagram

      Not to mention that a volcano got a crater, so it creates a whirlpool underwater, It had been shown in the series how a hole in the seafloor affects the flow of the currents.

      So, to simplify the explanation of water currents throughout the series, unlike the Knock-Up Stream that lasts up to only 1 minute, I’ll assume that the Reverse Mountain is a continuous flow of warm water (undersea volcano) and cold water (Reverse Mountain being a winter island) reason why it creates a never ending whirlpool (also because the undersea volcano inside the mountain got a crater which create whirlpools) and a Geyser-like reaction in the middle.

      It produces a current that pulls in and at the same time, pushes out.

      Here’s an illustration:

      how_the_currents_work

      That’s why a very formidable ship and a talented navigator is required. And this is how the crew will get out of Raftel.

      Also, did you guys notice something? The Reverse Mountain pulls in the waters from all the four Blues, and Nami already stated that you can get either dragged down or get through down the Grand Line.

      So it’s logical to think that since there is an ocean inside the Reverse Mountain and since ships can get caught in the mountain’s current, It is definitely possible that fishes gets caught in it too.

      As an evidence that fishes get caught in the Mountain’s current, here’s one that came from South Blue and got through to the Grand Line:

      elephant_fish

      Waters from all four Blue seas meet in Reverse Mountain, so do the fishes: All Blue. All Blue, the legendary ocean is the ocean inside the Reverse Mountain.

      As soon as the crew reaches Raftel, Sanji will fulfill his dream of locating All Blue.

      And as soon as they come down to the Twin Capes again, Brook will fulfill his dream of meeting Laboon.

      Now that we discussed how would they get out, let’s first see how the crew would find Raftel.

      So there’s no entrance to the other side of the Reverse Mountain.

      Earlier we saw the panel that says the Reverse Mountain is a winter island right? Well obviously, the water around winter islands is obviously cold, and these part of the ocean produce “downward currents” especially in the deepest regions.

      To simplify:

      1. Cold water is heavier, especially around winter islands and creates downward currents
      2. The deepest parts of the sea got a different current and they are connected to each other
      3. Sailing back to the surface within these regions will be a real slow process
      4. Many more kinds of creatures and dangers are present in the deepest regions of the sea

      Well, it’s not that hard to do, just coat the ship and submerge, and a very good navigator will get the job done.

      But here’s the tricky part, because if the entrance to Raftel is just under the ocean in line with the Reverse Mountain, some other pirates with a good submarine like Trafalgar Law or good navigator like Blackbeard should’ve already found it.

      So while I do believe that entrance to Raftel is by going under the ocean and locating the entrance, I’d like to believe that the way to Raftel is somewhere were no ship would think of submerging to – the Calm Belt.

      The entrance to Raftel may be in the Calm Belt along the Red Line near the Reverse Mountain in the end of New World, under the ocean.

      I believe that the “entrance to Raftel being in Calm Belt” idea is proven on the events before time-skip when Silvers Rayleigh swam trough the Calm Belt.

      Of course, no other pirates or person would try this, even if they are as strong as Rayleigh, because they don’t know that Raftel’s entrance is there.

      So, how the hell could they submerge in the Calm Belt?

      You guys remember the Calm Belt and the Sea Kings the Strawhats met before they even entered the Grand Line?

      seakings

      Well what do you know, they were in Fishman Island too.

      seakings_2

      They went through the Red Line. It’s one thing that they can go through the Fishman Island, but I believe that there’s an entrance in the deepest regions of Calm Belt along the Red Line on the entrance to Grand Line too because Calm Belt is supposed to be the Sea Kings’ lair.

      You guys remember that Fishman Island was 10,000 meters deep right? I think Calm Belt is deeper or at least as deep if its the Sea Kings’ lair.

      As stated by Brook earlier, there are certain group of species that can submerge in deepest level of the ocean, and that includes the Sea Kings.

      first of all it’s too dark and only massive fishes can go there, and Fishmen can probably go there but it’s either they never leave their kingdom in the Fishmen Island or even they fear the Sea Kings to go there.

      And it’s the Calm Belt, no one probably ever goes there. Not even Fishmen, and even the Marines needed kairoseki (sea stones) to cross the Calm Belt.

      kairouseki

      So what happens when other fish/sea creatures that can’t submerge that deep and get lost by going into this dark and deep entrance? The whales that can only be seen in West Blue will give an example:

      whales

      They are scarred all over, they got through but they had been severely injured. Well, unless you have someone in your crew that can “hear the voice of all things”.

      In the first few panels, we can see that the Sea Kings are hinting that Luffy will develop this ability later on in the series, and in the last panels, comparing him to Roger.

      voice_of_all

      I did mention about the “way”, the “fare” and “guides” to get to Raftel, but the most important one is to get the “drivers” to help you – the Sea Kings.

      As stated earlier, submerging to the deepest regions of the ocean is a hard thing, but most probably it’s extra hard submerging into the Calm Belt.

      First, the currents deep down the Calm Belt probably is the wildest, heaviest and most unpredictable current in all of the oceans. Second, it is infested with Sea Kings. Third, one cannot simply dive into the Calm Belt.

      The ability to “hear the voice of all things” is the ability to “understand” the will, history and feelings of a being, living and none even without speaking in tongues.

      Note that the ability to hear “the voice of all things” and Poseidon’s ability are two different things: Poseidon can fully control, speak and manipulate Sea Kings, while Luffy’s ability is just to understand “their voices”.

      Chopper, Jinbe and Camie’s ability to hear and speak some animals are also different, it’s their natural ability due to them being half-animals.

      Isn’t it weird that Luffy befriends too many animals? It’s not just a running gag. Luffy is actually unlocking his ability little by little.

      And Luffy got this, although unlike Roger, Luffy is not fully awakened and aware of it. I assume Roger was.

      The reason why Roger can understand and write on the Poneglyph in Skypiea even without the knowledge about it, but nevertheless, whenever Luffy becomes aware of his ability of hearing the “voice of all things” it will help him understand the calm waters of Calm Belt that calls his ship to go and submerge underwater and find the entrance to Raftel.

      And the ability to hear “the voice of all things” will invoke the aid of Sea Kings, guiding and keeping their ship safe in locating the entrance to Raftel.

      image

      So now, with the crew having reached Raftel, Luffy fulfilled his dream, One Piece is located there, rightfully guarded by the final “guide” Scopper Gaban.

      The Rio Poneglyph is also there. Robin fulfills her dream of locating the Rio Poneglyph.

      Thousand Sunny reached Raftel as well. Franky’s dream is fulfilled.

      Chopper may discover a special plant on Raftel that turns out be the Panacea (medicine that can cure any thing) which he would use later. Chopper’s dream fulfilled.

      Nami can draw the final island and finally fulfill her dram of drawing a map of the world.

      Just one last thing, if you need more evidence about the location of One Piece, it is also hinted in the logo of One Piece logo itself, read this illustration for the detail:

      pic_1329320107_1

      Shanks is another word or term for “anchor” which is at the end of the logo. Shanks is waiting for Luffy at the end of the world.

      All rights go to the maker of this theory.

        ONE PIECE THEORY SAGA: Clash of the Samurai – The full-length Wano Arc

        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:
        [​IMG]
        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.
        [​IMG]
        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:

        [​IMG]
        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.
        [​IMG]

        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:
        [​IMG]

        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:
        [​IMG]
        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.
        [​IMG]
        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.
        [​IMG]

        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:
        [​IMG]

        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:
        [​IMG]
        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:
        [​IMG]
        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:
        [​IMG]
        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”.
        [​IMG]
        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!
        [​IMG]

        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:
        [​IMG]
        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:
        [​IMG]
        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:
        [​IMG]
        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?

          THE 7 LUCKY GODS OF FORTUNE

          Welcome back to a quick theory for your entertainment.

          Some time ago, I stumbled upon the 7 Seven Lucky Gods of Fortune and the Heavenly Kings. Surprisingly, they bare some similarities to One Piece characters and I believe they were one of the inspirations for the said characters.

          Hotei is the fat and happy god of abundance and good health.

          This is Monkey D. Garp

          Fukurokuji is the god of happiness, wealth and longevity.

          This is Don Chinjao and his design is even based off Fukurokuji.

          Jurojin is the god of long life. He is also known as the Old Man of the South Pole and is often mistaken as Fukurokuji.

          This is Dr. Vegapunk(Vegapunk is from a winter island and most likely has a long head…no jokes please)

          Benzaiten is the goddess knowledge, art and beauty.
          [​IMG]

          This is Tsuru.

          Daikokuten is the god of wealth, commerce and trade. He is also the god of thieves. Daikokuten is often paired with the lucky god Ebisu.
          [​IMG]

          This is Scopper Gaban. Gaban means “thief” or “to steal” and was shown with someone we all know.

          Ebisu is the god of fishers and merchants. He is often paired with the lucky god Daikokuten.
          [​IMG]

          This is Crocus.

          Bishamonten is the god of warriors. Bishamonten is also called Tamonten “listening to many teachings” because he is seen as the guardian of the places where the Buddha preaches. He was also a punisher of evildoers – a view that is at odds with the more pacifist Buddhist king.
          [​IMG]

          This is Silvers Rayleigh. In contrast to the lovable Roger(the people that knw him), Rayleigh was the more serious “Dark King” and “Lord of the Underworld.”

          Bishamonten was also one of the 4 Heavenly Kings.

          Bishamonten as a heavenly king is called “Virupaksa.”

          Virupaksa which means “he who sees all”, his symbolic weapon is a snake or red cord that is representative of a dragon. As the eye in the sky, he sees people who do not believe in Buddhism and converts them.
          [​IMG]

          This is 1oo Beast Kaidou.

          Vaisravana means “he who hears all.”
          [​IMG]

          This is Gol D. Roger.

          Virudhaka means “he who causes to grow” and causes the good growth of roots.
          [​IMG]

          This is Sengoku(praying to Buddha bring health and growth to crops).

          Dhrtarastra means “he who upholds the realm.” He is harmonious and compassionate and protects all beings. Uses his music to convert others to Buddhism.
          [​IMG]

          This is Edward Newgate.
