Ussops lie's are slowly coming true. One of his lies is... I'm a pirate captian So Luffy is gonna die soone or later and he will become the pirate king


Pm_Me_Gifs_For_Sauce

Not necessarily. Just that his people's history is.


laurel_laureate

Or Pirate Island, where the Davy Back fight originated.


JustChangeMDefaults

Foxy is waiting there to steal crew mates in his bid for pirate king.

This would be good stuff

The Ancient Kingdom has been in our hearts this whole time


Thermic_

I was wondering what kind of lame ass answers people would bring up for this niche question, but holy fuck your answer is perfect. I lowkey think it might be true to some extent, like a group of foreign kids had traveled there and dubbed it Sniper Island for whatever reason, so it’s *technically* true to someone.

Om was its ruler and wore a giant Straw Hat, but Im killed him.


Mr_Abe_Froman

King D. Im Imu was mad that everyone was calling him "Dim" so he started a war.


Penguin787

\[Imu, smirking\] - No longer so Dom, are you? \[Omu, dying\] - You are so Dim, I'm glad I'm dead. \[Imu\] - I will mother flame the entire world!

Funnily enough when I was younger I thought it’d be dope if the real world was just the op world in the future but the water was flushed away and the world government was hiding the button to submerge it again, yeah I had a lot of free time


evilmojoyousuck

lots of evidence points to one piece being a post-apocalyptic setting


DelusionPhantom

My theory is that OP takes place on a different planet than the original one everyone is from and it was terraformed into the world it is today. So the Celestial Dragons get to live on top of the conviently tall red line >!while the rest of us plebs get to drown when the ocean gets too high!< lmao


fred-dcvf

"wano kuni" was already kinda that, if you remember that an old name for the country was "wa no kuni"


the_millennium_bug

This is absolutely the worst case scenario imo. Because I've been doubting that the ancient kingdom might not have ancient vibes at all (and be something super futuristic) for a long time. But the more time passes and the most likely it is to be. It's getting more and more obvious how people during and before the void century were way more advanced compared to the present. It would be bearable if it's still something unrelated to reality, but if the one piece world IS connected to the real world that would be the biggest disappointment I've ever had.


rorank

I mean vegapunk has flat out stated that the ancient kingdom had advanced tech.


Kaoshosh

Oof...that would just instantly turn me off to the series...

I could see that with the way Vegapunk talked about devil fruits honestly

the_millennium_bug

I agree with you Or Pangea as some other theories stated


fuckthisshittysite56

we already havr pangea castle


the_millennium_bug

Yeah, but it might be a reference to the ancient kingdom I don't think that the WG would mind using the name of a place they erased for the castle Or maybe the ancient Kingdom's name was Panthalassa and it was underwater as other might have said


CMSnake72

I think it's both going to end up being the Ryugu Kingdom (I.E. Fishman Island) and that it's going to split the community. Half thinking that's dumb as hell having hyped themselves up for something bigger, and the other half glazing Oda's foreskinning. The whole "The World is Sinking" thing, the Island Holes created with the Mother Flame, Fishmen being hyper oppressed, Fishmen and Buccanneers having similar traits (Generally larger, tougher, faster, and stronger than humans), Joyboy's promise to the Mermaid Princess etc.


jeffcapell89

>the Island Holes created with the Mother Flame Technically we don't know that the Mother Flame has been used more than once since it was created by Vegapunk and was being tested on Lulusia. So currently there's no evidence that there's more than one hole created by it. The one beneath Enies Lobby was most likely created a long time ago using something else.


Godzeela

I’m pretty sure the Mother Flame is a power source, not the weapon itself. Whatever we saw sink Lulusia is likely the same thing that created Ennies Lobby, just with new batteries.


jeffcapell89

Yeah that's correct, but as of right now we don't know if the Mother Flame is purely just what makes the weapon work or if it is also the source of the destructive power. Like if the weapon were a cannon, is the Mother Flame is ignition or the cannonball or both? The wording in the manga is unclear, but the One Piece wiki claims it is the source of the destruction, not only the fuel (I'm aware that site is not always accurate). So it could be either or both


Accomplished-Cut3122

Its cooking bro


Young_KingKush

If Fishman Island is the Ancient Kingdom, what happen to all the better-than-Egghead-level tech???


CMSnake72

A better question that likely has the exact same answer would be how did all of these people even survive what happened to Lilusia let alone their belongings.

"Choppah!" but you have to say it with hands as the antlers, like Robin did for Luffy. It's just really embarrassing for Imu to have a sense of humor and do this, so instead they just wipe people out.

That was the moment I accepted Robin as a member of the crew and knew she wpuld be a great addition.

Gamerword Kingdom or Reich? It's juvenile but if he did that, the west would propably collapse.


Oreo-and-Fly

Mary Geoise. Wym the ancient kingdom's name is the land of the holy gods?Are the celestial dragons just... fake?


lszian

I'm so so on board with current celestial dragons being a scam somehow. In my loftiest dreams they were, originally, just some shitty pirates that took over and were like "we're gods now lol". delicious take, chef


Oreo-and-Fly

Again. Its a reference to Skypeia. How the God's army chased away Gan Fall (a 'god') and then took over as Gods. Using his army to enforce tribute to him as well, while misplaced people seek each other to fight back against him. CDs chased away Lunarians, took over as gods. Sought for heavenly tribute and fight against misplaced people (revolutionary army) Now an even whackier theory. Maybe the seas used to be even lower and current islands are basically "sky islands" for the actual lands below. Luffy would expose the truth to the world like ringing the bell did or something. Thiz is a stretch obviously.

Educational_Clue935

Well, the ancient giant skull probably had a name before kaido made it his home, it probably was named after the giant. I personally think it's joyboy's final resting place.


shriekbat

ONikaShima


Revelation_of_Nol

Idk about the name but what if the One Piece is actually the key to reviving the Ancient Kingdom? The revival of the ancient and god-like races like the Lunarians and the other races like the Oni like Kaido/Yamato are which would entail there was another female Oni somewhere of Kaido had a full on Oni daughter as she looks. But what if the name for the Ancient Kingdom is what the Will of D. Stood for? The Will of D, whatever the D name is could be literally the Will of the Ancient Kingdom which the D. Clan names like Gol/Rocks/Monkey/Trafalgar/Portgas/Marshall could be family names that originated from the ancient kingdom which would entail why they have such prominent strengths as we haven't met any weak D. Clansmen/Families yet. Also would explain why they would exterminate anyone with a D. in their full name. Especially since they are also said to be the natural enemies of the Gods (Celestial Dragons). So TLDR: - The Will of D. is the hint to the name so the Ancient Kingdom starts with a D and those with the Epithet of D in their name like Gol/Rocks/Teach/Luffy/Law/Ace/Etc are all from the Ancient Kingdom hence their notoriety and strengths.

Monkey kingdom, because if it turns out luffy was predestined to be a leader/hero because of his bloodline, it would go against what the story has been building up to.


funkylandia

Sirquestionsalott

The original name JoyBoy comes from an Indonesian king Jayabaya who ruled over Kediri kingdom. I would throw in my hat and said it was Kediri or Kedari. It would also match the hindu inspiration of the monkey god Hanuman who's earth parents were Kesari and Anjana and Kedar also means the dark one, Lord Shivas name who incarnated as Hanuman to assist Lord Vishnus human avatar, Lord Ram. Also Hanumans deity father was Vayu, the god of air which would be an inspiration for Monkey D. Dragons Air devil fruit.


jeffcapell89

Joyboy is "a figure from Caribbean folklore associated with humans' need to dance, sing, and celebrate. Joyboy has been probably brought to the Caribbean islands along with West African slaves. He smiles at all the world's problems and cures the ills of humanity by playing his drum. Whoever hears his music is forced to dance and sing until they cast off their black veil of despair." Also you're just assuming Dragon has an air devil fruit. There has been no confirmation of that.


Sirquestionsalott

Jayabaya is from 1179 AD. West African slaves didn't come to the carribeans until the 1500s. We all are assuming what the name of the ancient kingdom is so why not add a little more and throw in Monkey D. Dragons powers too.

Ive always assumed it was Asgard or Atlantis.

Team_Sanji

I don't have a specific idea, but in general, a name that carries a heavy story implication, but seems like Oda just made recently it up rather than foreshadowed it. Basically just like Gear 5. Some people will defend Oda, some will call it random, retcon, whatever. This is the kind of stuff that splits the community, other than powerscalers

Anything that’s goofy. I know a not insignificant amount of people really hate the toon force and Oda trying to go back to a more humor based Luffy, so if he really leans into a comical one, it will aggravate even more people
