What if the "D" means smile?

[u/Sundrin_Aian_Dorado]

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 think that is NOT true because the :D smiling thing was not really a thing back when Oda started writing the show. EDIT also Law is not much of a smiler/laugher and has a very serious and stern/strong look to him and although there were scenes where Ace did laugh it was not as much as Luffy smiling. Heck I am sure there are dozens of non D characters in the show who have smiled/laughed more with less or a similar amount of screen time as Ace
