Please note that the following sometimes goes back in detail to main manga storylines that have not yet been covered in the Netflix series. If you don’t want to know anything about the One Piece sequel, I suggest you stop reading this article now!
For over twenty-five years, the biggest mystery of the One Piece manga has yet to be solved by its author, Eiichiro Oda: What is Gol d. Roger’s treasure that Luffy wants to capture and become the new king? pirates?
The mangaka has not yet revealed the content of One Piece. However, many manga and anime fans have come up with theories that may shed some light on this long-standing mystery.
A powerful weapon?
For some Internet users, the treasure hides a powerful weapon of sorts. In the service of his owner, he could destroy all pirate crews that cross his path and strengthen the most powerful law once and for all.
But in the hands of a pure hearted person, this weapon can also be used to destroy the land areas that divide the four seas together. and thereby end conflicts, restore freedom to oppressed peoples, and overthrow world government.

Another song: That part of the forgotten century, that part of history dating back 800 years and forgotten by all. Some fans claim that Gol d. Roger’s treasure may contain the truth about it.
The revelation of this secret will undoubtedly answer many unanswered questions, starting with the reasons that led the government to hide the truth from the rest of the world.
It’s also entirely possible that the treasure hides Joy Boy’s remains, or that it contains a plan to track him down if the theory about his supposed immortality is confirmed at the same time.
What if Eiichiro Oda fell into the facility?
Another less popular theory posits that Gol D’s treasure may be a simple mirror shape, referring to whoever takes it on their own adventure. What if the ultimate reward is the bond that binds the ship’s captain to his fellow passengers?
Isn’t the power of friendship one of the core values of shonen, a category of manga that includes One Piece? No doubt many fans will be disappointed that the solution to the mystery is included in the solution of the object…
Another popular theory is that One Piece is a treasure chest hiding a Devil Fruit. But not just a Devil Fruit, as this would be the original Devil Fruit, offering whoever absorbed it divine powers, or the ability to use all the powers of all Devil Fruits.
The theory is of course very improbable, but after all Marvel has done it well with their Secret Invasion series…
Luffy was “crowned” with his straw hat by his mentor Shanks
According to other netizens, One Piece may have been hiding in plain sight since the beginning of the manga and taking the form of a… straw hat like Luffy sports (which Shanks entrusted to him, who himself inherited from Gol D. Roger).
We can already hear your cries of anger if the treasure was such a banal thing, but know that One Piece will not be a simple straw hat…

In the Reverie Arc, the mysterious Imu—a character whose authority exceeds that of the government and the five deans—reveals the existence of a giant straw hat kept in a cell that only she has enough power to open the door to.
We know this: it is the will of government to ensure that no one controls the world alone. Therefore, the empty throne acts as a symbol within Castle Pangea, and only Imu is currently allowed to sit on it.

But could the giant’s straw hat be some kind of crown? Since then, the hat once held by Gol D. and now worn by Luffy could appoint the only person deemed worthy to the vacant throne.
Finally, could it be that One Piece is just a chest full of gold and silver coins? It’s hard to imagine that Eiichiro Oda would end his manga with such a provocative ending, but let’s not underestimate the latter’s troll art and ability to tease fans’ expectations with such plot twists!
