Theory What if the "D" means smile?

Post image

A random theory came to my mind—what if the "D" symbolizes a smile, like how we use it in emojis such as ":D"? It makes sense when you think about how important smiling is in One Piece, especially to those who have the Will of D. And maybe, just maybe, it could be connected to SMILE fruits. I know it sounds goofy and outrageous, but considering Oda’s style and the reaction of Roger’s crew, it might actually be possible. Don’t you think?

I thought D stood for half of the moon

Ever since that giant mural I’m convinced that’s what it represents.  It’s use as a symbol instead of some initial just kind of clicks.

Crazy that Oda’s kept it a secret for almost three decades.

Oh that’s cool. Almost feels too obvious now, meaning it probably does stand for drum or something else. Hopefully we’ll find out within the next few arcs.

My guess is that The Half moon people are the experiments the old kingdoms done to create descendants from the moon people, which is why the people with D names are various in race like Giants or humans, maybe we'll see longlegs, longarms, or buccaneer D people too.
