Random D theory *possible spoilers*

[Tenrow]

Although this may seem a little far-fetched, but what if all of the characters that carry the name of D, may actually have some connection of the ancient people who were against the ones who's decendents are the World Governments. I mean maybe the people of Elbaf are connected to the ancient world someway, seeing as all of the giants there carry the name of D. That could supply the reason why both Ace and Luffy were given the name of D.

[Freija]

ya after the newest chapter i also thought in those tracks

though i doubt he's related to the giants through family, but maybe in the way that they were in the alliance vs the world goverment.

[Kickmeister]

Well if the D's are related to giants, wouldn't that sort of explain the source of their incredible power?

[Freija]

well they would be 20 feet tall also if they were blood relatives so to say....
i rather think brother in arms ^_^

[Maffy the Love Doctor]

Yeah, a lot of people have theories like that since the latest chapter/s. You know, I also noticed that everyone with the "D" wears a hat XD. I think Roger is the only one who didn't, not sure cuz I forget =P.

[Molekage]

so does that mean that chopper is a d? :D

[smurfx]

i think that's possible and maybe the "D" stands for decendant. maybe when the kingdom was destroyed the few survivors went to the ocean and became pirates seeing as they no longer had any home's and had to survive somehow. that would also enable them to go around the world writing the history of what happened into the poneglyph's.

I thought along those lines as well. It's quite possible that those with the name D are descendants of the ancient kingdom. It's too prevalent to just mean nothing.

The age of pirates started when Gol D. Roger was killed...


But why was Gol D. Roger a pirate in the first place? Perhaps to find the Poneglyphs? Uncover the lost history himself, cause it relates to his bloodline?

[4ghost]

The only giant with a name D inrodced was Sauro, and he said do not get his people confused with the savages of Elbaf. Other than that D is very likely to be connected to the ancient kingdome that the World government destroyed.

[Marsala]

Another far-fetched theory that ties into it: Dragon (D. Ragon?) is a revolutionary with a special interest in Luffy, probably because of his connection to Gold Roger. If D. Ragon is also part of the D family, it would be stronger evidence that the Ds are specifically enemies of the World Government and not just crazy, chaos-loving pirates.

The One Piece is likely tied in with the Poneglyphs and the Ancient Weapons, as Gold Roger was also interested in Poneglyphs.

Here an interseting theroy (can't spell)

D is Death (work with me on this)

Ep 1: Luffy talks to coby (takes off his hat and looks at it) he talks that his does not mine dieing to live his dream of becoming a priate king.

Most eps with fights: Luffy stands and protects his friends. he want to protect his friends life. he would rather give up his own life then let his friends die.

Also luffy is afrid of death (he said it one ep).

You can dissus from here

note: i have bad spelling

I think you might be right. (Pfft this makes it easy for 4kids to change it to destroyer or something >_<).

lol that made me laugh.

but yeah i think death is important here as no one has relly died in one piece (apart for gold d. roger)

[ramza85]

u read one piece and u dare to say tat D mean death?
Total crap man.
Go read chapter 100 'the beginning of the legend' and say that again.
Gold D Roger was the pirate king, u think he could had been caught so easily? He single handedly started the pirate era... He started everyone interest in 'one piece'... He gave everyone a dream. The dream of finding 'one piece'.
Thus it will be dream that is the real meaning of the D in their names. Cos it is the one thing that they all have in common without a doubt.

[Mindless]

That makes alot more sense than the 'death' thing in my opinion, eventhough it's very unclear what meaning D really has. I think Kokoro or someone in the Water7 arc mentioned something about Luffy being similar to his grandfather or something. Makes me thing Roger is his grandfather.

Don't count on me who said that he was very similar to someone, I might be wrong. A while since I read it. :P

[Kickmeister]

Well I was thinking of halfblood :P

[Freija]

Well I was thinking of halfblood :P
look at hagrid in HP for my response to that :P

[KuwabaraTheMan]

If Sauro is Luffy and Ace's grandpa, they'd only be 1/4 giant, so they're size wouldn't really be that weird.

Blackbeard could be his son and half giant, which also fits perfectly.

[Pratz]

Maybe the D people were some group, like either the people who created the Poneglyphs, or the people who protected the people who created the Poneglyphs. Their decendants all carried the D out of honor or respect or to show their bond. The group could have been made up of mostly Giants, and a few humans in there as well, and that could explain the Giant part.

[jaks5555]

Well from what i know there is the will of D which was said by the old doctor women who looked after chopper. she said that the will of d still lives. also there are only three people with this, Luffy, Ace and blackbeard. i can see ace and luffy with this as they are brother so how does blackbeard fit in with this?

[Hitotsumami]

I had a strange dream about One Piece a few days ago.

It was as if I was at this place with all the information in the world in it. Like a big library in a gate. It knew eveything, and so did I. Dragon was luffy's father, and Blackbeard was Dragon's brother, and Gol. D. Roger, was Dragon and Blackbeard's father. It was all really fast. It was a good dream.

And I've always thought that D. may stand for Dream.

~Hitotsumami:laugh

[jaks5555]

i think D stands for Dream or Death. i have not chosen either side as luffy sicks to dream but does not mind dieing for it. so it is two sided for me

[ramza85]

why death for all things tat d could mean?? luffy only said tat he will not mind dying for his dream.. it does not mean tat he will die for his dream.. it is just to show how determine he was.. why would any one relate it to death for all thing? i really can't see how it is link.. it is just a figure of speech.. an expression.. like "i am so hungry i can eat a horse!!".. will tat mean tat i will really eat a horse?

You could be on something there. After all, the world government punishes anyone who can read poneglyphs and fear in a great deal if they understand "true history". Maybe in that "true history", the name "D." has someting to do with it.

Also, I have a suspicious feeling that the "leader" of the entire World Government is the descendant of the enemy of the ancient people that created the poneglyphs. Did the manga also say who created the weapons that can destroy the world? Was it the "enemy".

Also, I have a feeling that pirates are the descendants of the ancient people. It has to be true since all the people who carry the name "D." are pirates such as Luffy and Ace. The giants said it themselves that they used to be pirates also.

[Tenrow]

You know what would be funny. I thought of a theory about what one piece a long time ago, but it seems too obvious. One piece is probably the location of where dreams come true, kinda like disneyland. It would really suck of D stood for Disneyland, pulling off the biggest twist in the history of anime HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Ok in all seriousness, I think that D could stand for Domino and no not the game. I mean Domino as in Ano Domino or the day of the lord, that's what AD stands for right. Well to think further off that idea. You could say the Roger was "Jesus" bringing in the precursor of a golden age, in this case piracy. Luffy could be, and probably the reborn of Roger. As for one piece like i stated as a joke, it's probably the location of a place where dreams and ambition come true. I think maybe the people born in the location of Raftel are alive. In that case there's going to be more people with D. Probably by the end of the series Robin will die. I don't know why I think of that, but she probably will saving the Rio Poneglyh and somewhere that Involves Luffy fighting the top classes of the Marines, and in my opinion, its going to be sort of a FMA kind of ending, where someone dies trying to protect someone else.

Right now I can't really say that Roger is "Jesus" mainly because there is a character named Jesus one piece.
