What do you mean?! That was absolute genius.

So funny

Bro that Sh** is 20 years old by now

Lmao no lie that was hilarious!

Mihawk was there when roger died! He can’t be Kohina

"i want people to theorize so that I can factor all of it into the story" would be the chad approach he definitely taking notes im sure he has an editing team he speaks with and im sure they know the theories as well They likely have to distinguish theory from leaks time to time as part of security procedure.

Honestly, I'd be far more surprised if he wasn't using some of them.

It would be pretty fun if he saw some of these theories and just decided to roll with them

Meat 🥩 🥩 🥩 Alot of ppl would be like "wtf? All THAT For THIS?!" and Luffy would be so over the moon he sees Enel and his bananas 😂

Maybe the One Piece really is the friends we made along the way.

A treasure fit for a king.

Yeah like who fights an admiral to save a kid that ruined your life? Somthing else had to have motivated him besides "I don't want marines to win" imo.

It was all jokes and giggles until that moment.

He could have a one-sided crush on Luffy's mom though, like Snape with Harry

My theory goes one step further and posits that Croc is Garp's biological daughter. And that Dragon was adopted by Garp, and raised separately. Croc and Dragon both leave their respective homes and later meet each other at Roger's execution. They fall in love and several years later Luffy pops out. Dragon and Croc seemingly never reveal their true name to anyone, so it's entirely possible they never knew they were both monkey Ds. Fast forward to Marineford and Sengoku announcing that Dragon Luffy and Garp are all related. From Croc's perspective, not knowing Dragon was adopted, Croc might believe that they had accidentally created an incest baby all those years ago. And IMO, that's why Croc looked like they were about to throw up after intercepting Milhawk, saying they were having a bad day. Dragon was probably adopted by Garp after being found unconscious at God Valley. Mirroring the way Dragon found Sabo. I think he's either Rocks' kid, like many have theorized, or perhaps Shanks' brother. This could explain why Shanks was keeping an eye on Luffy specifically.

Never cook Again@@derrickmiles5240

Yeah bro that shit is crazy I knew he had 3 heads since I was in hs 10 years ago bro that’s the only thing that makes sense bro lol he already has 3 devil fruits bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I think I can answer that...

My theory is he ate a mythical zoan fruit first. Inu inu no mi model:cerberus. Three headed hound of Hades. It would allow him to eat 2 more devil fruits.

@@kunis2299wouldn’t the hydra fruit let you more fruits to then 🤔

That's actually not true. There is no consistent pattern with Blackbeard's teeth.

... My heart is broken.

Kuina is such a tragic character because she definitely wouldn't have been held back by her gender. Especially if she learned Haki.

@@donalddarko5807 IDK, this is one piece, not allot of women get to be all that powerful...

@@arnigeir1597Big Mom? Hancock? Dare I even say Yamato?

But Zoro cheered her up and they promised each other. Why kill herself after that?

Lmaooooo underrated comment

Gin's a drink, and you know one way to take your drink? On the rocks. You just blew the case wide open

rofl

Its actually more than likely that rocks and gin are both one of the 3 personalities of blackbeard. Source: trust me bro

When did oda say that?

@leespn4396 hey, I had posted a reply with a link but youtube apparently deleted it automatically. But long story short, Oda had talked about it in an interview and the reason why he hasn't made her and Dragon big deals (yet) is to not put the focus of the story on them. But admittedly the translation could've been misinterpreted but he did say he's already shown both of them several times. You should be able to find several articles on in if you search luffy mother but I the one I tried to post was from sportskeeda.

Small problem: If this is true, CROCODILE PUT A F*CKING HOOK THROUGH HIS SON AND ASSUMED HE DIED WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT! WTF IS UP WITH HIM!?

I’m not against the CrocoMom theory but I can’t get behind it because there’s simply no evidence within the story.

@@leespn4396 There was an interview where Oda was talking about Sabo, Luffy, and Ace as kids and essentially said that the lady that raised them was more or less Luffy's mom (or the only mother figure he needed from Oda's perspective) and when they asked if we'd ever see his mom in the story he said that we'd already seen her, it just wasn't important and he didn't want the story to focus on parental lineage stuff.

Honestly it might be more funny if it's left up to the imagination of the readers.

@jesperskov4614 Yeah, I would be fine with it never being addressed or brought up either way. I just hope the big mysterious things in OP are explained/explored, and then I'll be over the moon

I mean at this point it's chekov's gun to have it mention not only in the story as the important thing that changed Croco's mind but also the vivre card.

That’s stupid

Like Luffy to Montblanc Cricket : "I have a theory, it's up to you to believe it or not" "Okay, I believe it."

Did Zoro get lost in the comments again?

@@no2no182 lol if the one piece isnt in zoros eye or zoro finding the one piece what was the point

What if Dragon is actually Luffy's mother? Then Rocks could be Dragon's father and Dragon could have gotten the last Name Monkey from Garp's son. Ivankov is on Dragon's crew afterall so its possible

Still the meaning behind his flag remains a mystery.

@@Miraihi That is true, the flag is an unexplored fact, I don't rember if the Rock's flag is known... to understand if the BB's one is done in a way for an "inheritance reason" rather than a litherally one

Or they arrived before the Government Fell so couldn't drink it. All this booze, and you can't drink a drop! Hilarious.

A bottle of alcohol meant to celebrate the end of the world government, yeah it’s still too soon.

SAME

I always thought because his whole crew isn’t devil fruit users they use the really fast currents underwater. I think they were called the dragon currents robin talked about when they were diving down to fishman island.

Besides the WG connections there's another possibility. It was established recently, that the marines aren't allowed to attack an emperor in most situations. What if Shanks simply used that loophole to get access to faster currents the Marines control, as well as their gates to go through the Red Line?

I agree it gives it away, but it's a mythical zoan model Kraken. Octopuses sleep in 20 second bursts which makes them appear like they don't sleep, octopuses have three hearts which could justify how he can have three fruits, his flag has three skulls and 8 bone limbs mimicking the octo limbs and hearts. Hiding for the right moment is exactly how an octopus acts in the wild. Unlike a Cerberus which is meant to guard something in mythos. The similarities between him and Octopuses go on, where I can't say the same for Cereberus. Also the Cereberus not sleeping doesn't hit because there are cases of Cereberus sleeping in mythos. Plus it's Oda fashion for the first thing the Straw Hats fight once sailing into the new world is a Kraken and the final boss of the new world is also a Kraken. It's my head canon until proven otherwise lol.

@@fish-rm6xlwhy a waste of time lol so many fan theories came true lol

@@ImAviex octopus doesn't have any skull or bones. A sleeping cerberus is so rare that it is a very special occasion and it takes special way to make them asleep. Also an octopus is still considered One creature, where as a cerberus could be considered as "them"

So why did Rodger say he was to early? Why didn’t his crew drink any? Why did it make Everyone laugh?

@@BilliamJoyBoy "Why did it make everyone laugh?" cause it's a shit ton of sake

@@BilliamJoyBoy because the world government hasn’t been taken down yet. So they can’t drink the Sake.

But luffy isn't old enough to drink still a year away

@@katza831 he literally drinks sake with Ace and Sabo when he’s a small child.

For real I hope it becomes real 🤣

I hope Luffy's mom never gets revealed like Gon.

My name is Liam as well lol.

Fr fr

​@@joebidenjr5902Uh, you mean Alicia Freecss?

That's why in the corner you see a description saying the theory had been disproven in the meantime 😔

I was just getting ready to type this

@@willdaniel5124I think it was a dumb theory and it would’ve 10x better if it was grandpa dad son

I'm just going to ignore that

he could hypothetically have meant son-in-law, and he just considers him defacto family now. Of course, for that to work, Crocodile would have to have been Garp's daughter, and then changed her name after...

*somehow But close.

lol, i know, something just made more sense in context

Even without kuma power the plot can say she lost her memory from D. Stair anyway.

​@@juanpablomontesedgar1253that's a reference.

Yea she shares too much of a similar design to Tahiti for that to be a coincidence, there has to be something there.

For the longest time now I thought Croc O Boy is Luffy's maternal uncle and he was possibly saved by Dragon, Kuma, Ivankov and the rest of the Revolutionary Army at some point when they were all young. I have a feeling they saved him somehow and he owes a life debt to them. Also, there's an SBS of young/teen Croc reading a newspaper after his defeat to WB and he looks suspiciously similar to Luffy and in that same SBS Oda said that out of all the pirates in OP Croc O Boy was the most similar to Luffy growing up, interesting lol very interesting

Just like what Ivankov did to cure Luffy he did that too with Crocodile

@@angelmiron1991 Why would that be shameful lmao

@@rockstar-made prideful maybe 🤔

Therefore the note in the video, that this theory has been debunked by now.

son in law yes

​@@akhilleusuggono. Garp said son. Not son law

If Oda didn't clarify it there will still be dividing fans who believe Garp and Dragon aren't related by blood glad to see that Oda address this

@@meridithg.42 yes and Luffy said that Ace is his brother, doesn't mean it is his brother by blood either.

Probably not the "pure chaotic evil" kind and more like "tragic backstory evil who loves her friends"

Just cause he wanted all the smoke in marineford doesnt mean he was luffys mum💀💀💀💀💀💀

​@@alfieingrouille1528chill, its just a theory

Lmao his dream is welfare 😂 hope he gets it

But Luffy said to Kaido, "I want to create a world where my friends can eat as much as they want!" but when people thought that was his dream Oda had Luffy say his dream to his crew without telling us to show that is in fact not his dream. Also the Straw Hats reactions would be weird if that's all it was especially Zoro's and Sanji's. To me it's probably something like, "I'll create a world where EVERYONE is a pirate!" because to Luffy his joy and sense of freedom come from being a pirate and the idea of that is absurd, which is why the reactions from everyone makes sense.

@@ImAviex That’s a really good theory. I could totally see an ending where everyone is liberated from the world government, thus removing any authority to be subjected to. I’m just wondering what the One Piece is and how it relates to whatever Luffy’s dream is. (Assuming they are related and finding the One Piece isn’t just Luffy’s idea of what he has to be able accomplish in order to fulfill his dream) No matter what though, I’d rather be surprised by an unforeseen resolution than have my theory confirmed.

I think the octopus theory works better, he has 8 bones around the skulls so 8 legs, and octopus have 3 hearts. So 3 wills for 3 devil fruits.

Didn't Garp already drop those pieces all the way back in Water 7?

Makes no sense anyway. He tried killing Luffy in Alabasta. This is so stupid. He just didn’t want the navy to taste victory

It makes total sense because Luffy never shouts his full name, social security number, and where he sees himself in 10 years ( aka King of the Pirates) to his enemies during battle.

@@godiloveminininjas4278 yes he tried killing Luffy in Alabasta. And he tried killing Whitebeard as soon as he arrived in Marineford. He didn't care at all if the navy wins or not. And he hated or didn't give a fuck for Luffy after the whole Alabasta thing, only helped them a little bit because of Ivan-chan. BUT after getting to know that Luffy was Dragons son he made complete turn, let go of Whitebeard, saved Ace one time and Luffy multiple times even against Akainu. So there is Definitely a connection between Croc and Dragon. If a romantic relationship that ended with a child is the most reasonable explanation for that, is the more debatable thing.

Y'all just making shit up

he just hates the navy, helping someone for no reason doesn’t mean you’re someone’s mother, it’s just that luffy helped him break out aswell that could be a reason

Kuina is a Water Rail (Asian bird). Tashigi is both a European bird and a euphemism for a bird that doesn't exist in the US where snipe hunting is basically a ruse. Take a look at a picture of both birds, I'm no ornithologist, but they look waaaaay too similar, and that's no coincidence.

that would also be the best excuse for Kuina not EVER being mentioned in the story since her introduction...Zoro's flashback was a dream he told nobody about, none of the Straw Hats even know Zoro's reason for his dream and only very rarely he mentioned "a promise made to a friend" and even that's been ages ago. *Nobody* except Zoro (and the few people at Shimotsuki Village) knows about Kuina, and Tashigi has been the only one he at least told that she was a swordwoman and that they look alike...ngl i really want this theory to be true mostly for the fact that the backstory hit me really hard (which was literally 20 years ago) and while Zoro has the excuse of being very stoic and carrying her will on his shoulders alone, but only Kuina=Tashigi would excuse Oda seemingly forgetting about her because it would mean he did it with intention. Along with Usopp meeting his father, this has been the most severe case of "a pay-off that has to happen eventually...EVENTUALLY" and Tashigi is the only person that connects Zoro's ambition back to Kuina

Tashigi is too weak for being Kuina

He said he didn’t want the marines to win, and since right now he’s putting bounties on their heads… I think it could be a valid reason. Also you people are implying that he put a bounty on his father’s head (garp) 💀

Especially the art

He probably hired professional editors

Also, that Crocodile said he had a has a bad mood after figuring out that Luffy is related to Dragon. Which could be because he just learned he almost killed his son.

I think Crocodile saved Luffy maybe because he was friends with Dragon at one point in time

​@@riddlerosehearts8277Brother in law I think. I reckon Croc is Luffy's maternal uncle.

Well right now he’s out there putting bounties on marines, I think him “not wanting the marines to win” would not be so out of character 😅

I guess, but that would imply Crocodile never knew Dragon's full name because just hearing Monkey D Luffy should have let him know.

In that case he'd definitely owe Ivankov a favour, but that is not really an emberassing secret, or a meaningful secret in general. There is no shame in being defeated and needing serious medical attention if your opponent was Whitebeard, the worlds strongest man capable of destroying the world and all that.

I always figured it was both. Like Luffy and Zoro realized he had a crew but Oda was also hinting at the idea of more than one soul in a body.

But he definitely was alone at that moment... Why would it be relevant that it's "them" anyway if they guessed he was a captain ? Still, I wonder how these post Alabasta Luffy and Zoro could somehow sense something about BB being multiple people, and yet they somehow found something, and it's been around 20 years that we don't really know what it is

Hence the note

It's written in the video ffs

Probably her dad knows that Zoro has the hots for her 😂 and wanted him to leave the village without telling him
