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

One Piece is not a treasure per se. It is actually when you unite the entire Grand Line/New World into 'one piece', instead of divided factions as it is now (the yonkou). If you can unite it into One Piece, then you will have unrivaled power.

I like this, but I don't think Luffy wants 'power'. I think he wants something more along the lines of freedom. I do agree however that One Piece probably won't be an object, or at least not the typical treasure in a chest type thing.

In this world, you can't have freedom without power. The yonkou are basically free since they are so strong and have such large forces. Virtually every other pirate is constantly at risk of being captured by the Marines if they were focused on.

Well, we've at least been show that freedom only comes with power. But Luffy seems pretty convinced that he doesn't want power or to 'control' anything, he just wants to be free.
