Plot twist.... Worl D. Government

Matt, turning D. sideways: What does this look like to you? Me: 1st rule of Popo's training...

Tekking: "Oden is Robin's father!" Me: *remembering scenes of Momo squeezing and hugging Robin's boobs* Yeah... That wouldn't be creepy for so many reasons

"those who have the will of d, or bear that initial d..." "bear that initial d" "initial d" *eurobeat blares in distance*

You know if Oda made it the "will of g" they would all have a certain birthmark. The "g-spot"

I’m convinced the D is a smiley face

Maybe it isn't just those who have the will of D that die with a smile, but those they have greatly affected. I mean we saw Oden die and we know Roger impacted him greatly. We saw Corazon die with a smile when he saved Law. Hiriluk died smiling but was inspired by pirates, and who started the great pirate age? Roger, so that works as well. Maybe it's like an inherited will thing from joyboy, a smile is a sign of someone having joy.

"It couldn't have been the Will of G, huh?" Lao G would like to know your location

The "D" stands for "Dattebayo"

Plot twist: The D stands for 'Dereshi'

Well, Kozuki have moon in their name. Crescent moon looks like D. D looks like a smile. so, D and Moon and Smile means the same... right?

"The will of D." might not even be the enemy of the World Government. Rather World Government might be the enemy of ":D" or "joy." So I guess Oda is saying government is the enemy of happiness?

When you give her the will of D she’ll give you the will of smiles💯

*I'd be willing to bet Tekking would smile seeing Nami.*

Luffy hadn't completed his role in the world when his head was about to be sliced, yet he was already smiling 🤔 Maybe they smile because when they see their life go before their eyes they just are overjoyed with how much fun they had with their firends.

Isn't the smile when dying just to show that they have no regrets?

Pretty sure Joy Boy has the will of D and his name has alot to do with this smile. I think there is a correlation.

I wonder if it is Barry D. Brick!

*I’ve literally just been staring at Barry this whole time.*

It's like 1:30am in London but being sleep deprived is 100% worth it😂😂

Here's a topic that's bothered me for a while now: ever since the incidents on Enies Lobby and the Sabaody Archipelago, how does the Government still believe Chopper is just a pet and only worth 50/100 Berries? Didn't Kumadori, Kalifa, Kaku and Jyabura get to report on that? And didn't Chopper transform right in front of Sentoumaru? Did he just forget it or is there more to it? Does the government have plans for Chopper just like they did for Robin? Please, Tekking, we really need a discussion/theory on that.

Tekking-senchou has The Will of P! That means we're going to think he's died a horrible death only to come back barely injured😂 Ps. Surprised you didn't mention Rogersbase. His name is literally Roger DiLuigi😂

Your videos are feel so timeless, just watched one from a couple of years ago and now this, and I the vibe is exactly the same (in the most positive way don't worry lol 😅)

Dude I’ve just recently come across your videos and your very dope my friend, I like your discussions and I love onepiece so it’s dope to see how excited you are man, I love how genuine you are 🔥🔥 keep it up brotha!

Just don’t go to Smile Universe. It hasn’t been the same since Zarc...

Ya know, you turn that D 90° clockwise, it makes a nice little smile :D

I’m in class and was using this as a pod cast and that was funny lmao love you mattt

Tekking I’ve been here for most of your phases but this Barry phase has to be the weirdest yet, and I love it

How to find the One Piece summed up perfectly: “You can find it if you just find it!”

I see. A whole new meaning to Big (D)ick energy. Oda is truly a genius.

1:00 i was actually listening to this as a podcast so thanks for the audio hint

Yes! Lol I posted a superchat and tweet to you a couple months ago asking about the D being a smile. As of this video, my mission as a D is complete! Through other people and across time, the idea still made it to a theory video :D

"I'm gonna set this D. down over here..." Tekking101. Take that statement how you will...

Tekking: Its probably not a good idea to announce to people there is a D. In your name.......... Hi, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, an I'm gonna be King of the Pirates.

Eyyy, you assumed right @tekking101, usually I tune in when I’m driving back from work

Idk if I said this yet but your a literal GOAT‼️‼️keep doing what ur doing making great videos

Nami: 'what's the D stands for?" Luffy: "It's not a D, its a smile and its stands for HOPE" Nami: "well here, it's a D" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hiriluk also died smiling It's not really a D thing

Great video tekking keep it up my dude

I just finished watching your vid abt mirko then this pop up in my notif and made me smile:)

If Oden is Robin's father, than that makes the scenes where Momo is snuggling her breasts way worse... Or better, depending how you roll.

The D Clan does everything WITH A DON

Blackbeard's final purpose might be to be a hurdle or a obstacle for Luffy to surpass so in other words Teach might be vital to Luffy becoming pirate king

God, you’re videos always make me laugh. Keep up the good work man

-Saul smiled before getting killed by Kuzan -Ace smiled before Akainu made a hole in him. -Rouge smiled before dying after Ace's birth. -Roger smiled before execution at Logue town. There is a lot of coincidental smiling before death situations. But there are no consequences if the theory is true. So what? Please elaborate.

The last time I was this late, I was pregnant.

Favorite video so far

“Italian are so strange , they move too much their hand when they speak” Tekking101 *exist*

Tekking: "You couldn't have picked another letter! It could've have been the 'Will of G!' " Lao G: "I have the Will of G! There's the 'G!' "

No...no Oden has nothing to do with a D. Don't forget he already knows everything about 'em so I think Oden admired them like Roger so he tried to die like a D. But him dying with smile just like that nope.. Yeah that's what I think

long day, get home and make a hot pocket wondering what i'm going to watch whilst eating said pocket. tekking uploaded a video 17 minutes ago, fantastic.

The voice u always do for oruchi messed me up wen I first heard his voice in the anime. I was expecting it to sound like how u sound 😂

All Might has the Will of D confirmed

Am I the only one that can't really picture Dragon dying with a smile on his face?

Just as a smile is a symbol and not a letter, so is the crescent Moon, and if you've noticed in Wanou all the Royal households have part of their name meaning Moon, eneru is on the Moon, and all the sky people are from there, what if Wanou and the D clan are from the moon, end of the will of d means two things, one the smile of a new Dawn & two the Cheshire smile of the moon.

Really enjoy your analysis on the world of One Piece. You and Joy Boy's videos are one of the reason I started to heavily invest in reading ahead of the anime; thank you. Now I have to state that this video is just far too easy therefore there has to be something to it! As the title of the video is "will of smiles" it reminded of another recent reveal to the community the name of the final island.... Laugh Tale..... For sure; if that is the proper translation I can absolutely see Oda making the Will of D. the Will of Smiles because how else does one present a Tale of Laughter?? One begins doing so by having a smile upon their face! I also see there being some sort of way to control the world by taking away genuine smiles, via the world government. We also have again the 'smile' devil fruit which is manufactured and artificial, when successful application is found it turns the eater into a strange Zoan type user. However; if unsuccessful the user is forced into a life wearing a gigantic fake smile their entire life. Now just reflecting also on Oda's writing through each major story line... Having some sort of genuine emotion period, but especially when someone is stripped of joy is one of the major plot devices used to stir up Luffy, and his crew to act! Some sort of horrible thing that is preventing joy is causing them move or go into a specific direction. Of course the simple answer could be the One Piece is the knowledge of the Will of D. and the will is to seek out joy in ones own life. Thereby; that person has all the wealth in the world regardless of how much 'clout' they carry or possessions they own. Look at Rayleigh, Shanks, members of Rogers crew that made it to the final island knowing what is there... they became stewards of a certain lifestyle or way of the world. I'm also certain there will be supporting back story for an alternative to a simple message to readers that they should live a full and happy life.... such as, the celestial weapons, the secrets of the void century, the conducts of the world government, what the hat in Marijois means, … (ooo I found something else...) pronounce that town.... and separate... Merry Jois… Merry Joy!!!! Merriment of Joy! Okay I realize that is a bit of a stretch... but again its Oda... the figurehead of the world government which again is a fake representation of joy and merriment. Each time there has been some sort of fake resolve... Luffy and crew have been there to put a corrective course into affect. Their actions cause a ripple of change, whereas the world government is maintaining 'order and peace' is really just against any sort of change good or bad that rubs against the ways and order of Celestial Dragons. I also notice how Law is very stoic for someone carrying the moniker of D. in his name. We of course read and watched his backstory the flashback with his relationship with Corazon, and celestial dragons... Which of course would cause such a resolve as an adult. But one thing about Law I truly have begun observing more closely is his relationship and reactions to Luffy. Understandably he saved Luffy but said he was doing it as a favor to Shanks... well; not really but as a doctor he is duty bound. And then again recently with the Punk Hazzard Donquixote arc Law sees Luffy as someone who doesn't "act how a pirate should" Now in Wano he outright tells Luffy to act like a pirate, that pirates don't do good deeds. In this; I see Trafelgar Law as a person who symbolizes one aspect of a "Law" in which a conduct of a pirate "should behave".. there as in ideal or mindset of what it means to be a pirate. Luffy has his own, and every captain or figurehead in the world of One Piece has their own idea of what being a pirate is... But there has yet to be a implicit this is how a human, or person, or creature... should behave. So there again I absolutely can see this giant story boiling down to a simple message of how Luffy lives his life and his ways is how most humans should behave, have a short memory for people who did you wrong. If their ways are evil and upsetting others life one should stand up against that tyranny. If there is an overbearing empirical ruler one should still be able to live their own way to follow their desires and dreams. For Luffy being a pirate is freedom of cares and worry, gathered around close friends who will share food and music together. Helping each other because your each others mates on the ship and in life. I also bear in mind too that Oda and the writer for Naruto are companions. I don't know how much they talk or go out on lunches together or share bathhouse time, family vacations...etc... but it was made evident that they admire each other as story tellers and in Naruto specifically he had 'the ninja way' which is similar idea to that of the 'will of d'. Naruto's ninja way slowly infectiously flowed into anyone he came into contact with. His own will was changing the course of the ninja world into aligning to his way. A ninja is someone who never gives no matter how difficult the situation, and if he dies, he dies. But to gain notoriety or fame, or prestige on the backs of someone else and making them suffer, or abusing the life or emotions of someone else to gain power or love is what makes Naruto spark anger and go into his fire of why do you allow this attitude. Now around this simple plot device of Naruto's ninja way we have fluidity in the development of characters and story... the story and purpose of each sharingan had been changed from what originally had been put forth. Some jutsu's had been brought forth and then snuffed out just as quickly. Some items had been eloquently explained as others were just there as a way to further the story.... simple items in the great ninja war that had huge impacts were never fully flushed out.... now as much as I liked Naruto there is also a lot that I dislike and have enjoy One Piece doing a much better job with. Simply put fluidity of continuity between cannon and non cannon story. Now I know that this whole Naruto side bar seems like a rabbit trail.... if I keep typing it will be... but what I bring up is the Ninja way vs Will of D. being very similar in structuring the world around the main character, and likewise the central characters that posses this will structuring the world around them and in such a large impactful way it disrupts the central order that has been in place for generations. Both very different story's but there is too much of a parallel in both worlds that it is hard for me to ignore and bring to your attention. Especially after this video. I also feel that by the end of Wano Arc or sometime thereafter Law is either going to die due to the epic battle that is going to unfold and his actions need to take such an indirect course to claim victory over Kaido that it results in his death. And in so doing he reveals to someone trusted to pass along his knowledge to Luffy about world events. Or a higher likelihood that Law will become a trusted ally who will help propel Luffy to the final island and all the secrets there in... along with Eustess Kid. All three captains squared off together in Cascade... I can see all three again now much more powerful square off against the largest battle they have faced. Helping to preserve and fulfill the will of D, because Luffy is who he is... genuinely all the time... although his character has grown his will towards his end goal has never shook.

"It's not the biggest D in the world but It'll work for our purposes " - I feel like I hear that too often

Will of D, enemy of God... Yet nobody complained when Garp become an Admiral... *glares at the celestial dragons* Are you trying to screw yourself over?

BRUH YOU MADE A VIDEO ON MY QUESTION TODAY!!!! 😄😄👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Watching ur vids make me smile😁

1st Edit: Hey Tekking, would you ever tell us if you got a girlfriend

Yo Matt what if when a person baring the will of “D” title dies their soul gets reincarnated in a devil fruit or the devil fruit they previously had.....

I listen to your vids like a podcast at work lol

I was thinking, what if the D. was JoyBoys name and it had an ancient meaning they helped Roger realize everything in Odens flashback

I never thought much about the :D" middle name... Won't anyone be able to stuck D in their if they feel like it... And here we would have Random D. Pirate...

Will of d dying with a smile..... laughtale .... I thing he’s on to something

I just rewatched the scene where young Robin and Saul start getting to know each other. Robin comments on how strange his laugh is and then he starts telling her that if you laugh it will make you happy. In many ways he could've been explaining the whole idea of the "Will of D", or at least what it is to him.

YOOO I LITERALLY WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS SAME EXACT THEORY TO MY FRIEND THE OTHER DAY U PUT IT IN WORDS PERFECTLY CAUSE I COULDNT

I use to think the D stood for Destiny or Destruction..now I'm thinking like a pirate and think it could be Davy as in Davy Jones.

“D alway smile when they died” Everyone smile when they die in one piece... is Bellemere a D now? Is Hilluruk? Is Virgo? Is Monet? Is Rozinante? Speaking of dying with a smile, law’s parent was a D, and they just die like a normal person

Your Vids make me smile 😬

Tekking you just blew my mind

too many "first" comments... wonder what 2nd feels.

Pretend that I said something funny

Please remember that the Kazuki clan was most definitely ally's of the D. Clan. So them smiling at their impending death shouldn't be surprising

Quality video Matt.....quality video

Woah... when Tekking turned the sign sideways my mind just blew up. The D. might not be an actual word, but instead, a symbol of someone smiling. Holy fuck

Hey Tekking! Good damn video! Keep up the good work. A question I have, any demon slayer plans?

U also kinda remember cos a smile is very similar to laugh. And what did roger and his crew do when they found the one piece? Yeah. Before u laugh, there’s a lil smile that happens

My guess is the will of D. stands for something simple, like will of determination That way anyone who inbodies determination can theoretically have the will of d

not even 2 minutes into the video yet and he's already injured himself twice

I like this concept, it makes more sense that anyone who fights like those of the D Clan can inherit the will. It can never be snuffed out by the World Government in such a way.

I was watching this on the train and the intro when you said about holding your D lol some guy looked over at me in disgust 🤣🤣

Its pretty cool how tekking made a Video about Smiles. I heard that Smiles are in now. _SMILES_

I strongly believe Dragon knows what it means. Which is why he stated "The world is waiting for our answer".

D. stands for "why so serious"!!!

I think that people who are associated with people with the will of D also smile when they die, oden smiled because he with rojer who had the will

I stated this theory before. Ancient original Devil Fruits. The original DF also had the side efffect of always having to smile/laugh. The Celestial Dragons tested their original DF on slaves to get the functioning ones. The descendents of those always laughing/smiling slaves took that smile as an initial. Thats why all members of the will of D are the natural enemies of the Celestial Dragons and close to death the side effects from 800years ago come thru.

I only started watching one piece a year ago and binged the whole series. And i noticed that roger's smile and luffy's smile shaped a capital D. I always thought it, but i thought people would call me an idiot. Im glad tekking noticed it as well. Glad im not the only person to notice it. :D

Hey tekking love your videos and my middle name is also Paul. The will of P !!

yo Tekking, what about this: the D stands for Double and all the people with the D in their name are all some kind of clones... Hear me out, Luffy is often refered to as superhuman because of how he heals by eating meat for example. Or Blackbeards Body is said to be more durable than a normal body. But the biggest clue is Germa 66 ! Remember the clone soldiers ? Maybe the Ancient Kingdom had a more developed system of cloning or smth ?? I couldnt write the whole theory here, just some stuff to think about ^^ i did come up with that by myself btw but there is probably already a similar theory out there. gimmi your thoughts :)

Matt, turning D. sideways: What does this look like to you? Me: monster musume hair clip

There is this webtoon called tower of god that I read and it's SUPER good, and they are going to make it into an anime, it will come out in April on crunchy roll, you should definitely watch it!

Saul's task was way more than inspiring Robin. He ensured that Ohara spirit would survive by letting Robin live and that leave at least one person to read the poneglyphs.

So here is my theory on the will of D. I think every D. besides Luffy is there to impact/help Luffy. Think about it. Roger is Luffys "motivation" or Saul helped Robin/impacted Robin and now she is helping Luffy with reaching Laughtale. I am not sure about Blackbeard but maybe he is gonna help/impact him somehow in the future (he already impacted him with capturing ace... But idk :D). So maybe the ones who have the D. in their name are destined to help/impact luffy.

Smile, Joy, Laugh, i think there’s a connection here.

If it's with one dote and not two, it could also be something like .D Oda said he wanted to introduce a character with an eyepatch ages ago. It could be joy boy.

Somehow just connected that the D. In their names means that ace and Luffy and all of them are actually related to each other. Like, 7th cousins 200 times removed or something

19:07 THE BEST OUT OF CONTEXT LINES EVER SAID IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

Well, the thing about Garp is that even though he was offered the promotion to admiral many times, he refused precisely because the admirals are answerable to the world nobles. Even as a marine, he still harbors the same hatred for the world nobles as any other with the will of D.
