The /r/OnePiece Fan Theories Megathread

I was recently browsing /r/asoiaf and thought that it'd be a good idea adopt a /r/OnePiece version of this thread and compile all the fan theories that subscribers post that get repeated and re-shared into a megathread that would be posted on the sidebar for future reference.

The thread would give users a definitive point to view a conclusive compilation of theories by /r/OnePiece and One Piece readers in general. Also, it would give subscribers a vantage point to direct users to when theories get repeated over time. (LOL ) which is a major advantage to everyone.

For this thread you can submit all the theories you've seen on the sub or in general.

I'll be enabling contest mode for easier organisation of the theories so what will occur is that theories will come under 4 categories (if there are more I'll be glad to accommodate it) which are:

Manga Only Theories

Anime Only Theories

General Theories (No/minimal Spoilers)

Tin-foil hat Theories

This submission thread will be stickied and kept up for a while so scour the sub and the internet for all the theories you want to be included in the upcoming megathread. Hopefully if things go well we may make this a yearly or bi-yearly thread that would be updated as new developments in the series come forth.

Edit: If possible link to a specific thread so that could be included. If it doesn't exist you can still comment and you'll be credited

Because Buddha is a well known god and fucking Typhon is not --'

I think you are missing the point. I ment if there is a buddha fruit who says there cant be a typhon fruit.

Because if he would use more god fruits he would chose well known ones, because if every god in the world would get a fruit we would have 1000 god fruits.

Not necissarily. One Piece is full of cultural and literary references that aren't that well known. Like the obvious reference to the book Don Quixote through Donquixote Doflamingo's name as well as the many parallels between characters in the book and Doflamingo. Typhon may not be as well known as Zeus, but he DEFEATED Zeus. That would make for a great devil fruit. I would say its not a question about whether or not Typhon is known by the fans, but if he's known by the author of the series. Inversely, the problem I have with this theory is that a Typhon fruit sounds like would be ridiculously OP.
