you know ohara is doing something right when you can watch 1 hour of fictional pirate theories and not get bored.

[apushman]

I like the idea of Usopp being the narrator. It would fit his story telling trend with One Piece being the biggest story he has ever told.

[talliyb]

Here's one for you... Usopp actually has ALWAYS had his Haki of Observation, he just doesn't have full control over it. But this is why his lies always come true... he's ACTUALLY seeing things that his father is seeing, like he did in the final fight in One Piece Red. It's also why Usopp can take so much damage and never die despite being the weakest on the crew... he's just slightly dodging things enough to survive unconsciously.

[stevekearney]

I love that Oda doesn’t try to subvert fan theories. Seeing well planned long burn mysteries pay off is worth it even if some people see it coming. I recently saw one of my theories come true within the last 3 chapters and I was incredibly happy. Though I do wonder if there is something beneath Ernie’s Lobby.

[matthewkrambeer]

My favorite cracked theory about the immortality surgery is that Dr. Kureha received it. It would be a funny explanation for why she kept asking people if they want to know the secret to her health / youth.

[Starcore]

Ussopp telling the story makes so much sense! When he left Kaya, he told her he'd come back and only tell true stories. What if the narrator is Ussop sitting with Kaya and telling her all about their journeys?

[17:20] 🏴‍☠️ Scopper visited Crocus: Once upon a time, Crocus chatted with a mysterious figure in a straw hat and Wano-style robes. Could this be Scopper Gaban, Roger's 3rd in command?

[26:42] 🏴‍☠️ Shanks Celestial Dragon: Shanks is hiding something big. What kind of pirate is allowed to just waltz into the Gorosei’s chambers to hold a private meeting? Well, the kind that is secretly a Celestial Dragon. This longtime theory states that Shanks is more than just a friendly, party-loving mentor to Luffy. Instead, he has a more mysterious and sinister past as a member of the Tenryubito.
[27:39] 🏴‍☠️ Big Mom and Beast Pirates in the Grand Fleet: The grand fleet isn't over yet. With the members of Orlumbus’s crew and the Tontatta is one thing, but to finally take on the World Government, the Straw Hats might need some heavier hitters. Enter the crews of the former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou.
[29:29] 👴Immortal Gorosei: A lot of characters in One Piece have flashbacks where we can see depictions of their younger selves. However, during Robin’s flashback we got to see the Gorosei of approximately twenty years ago and they look…exactly the same. This raises the question: Do they age at all?

[01:16:22] 🎩 Jango Power-Up: Luffy's insane strength throughout the series may be all thanks to Jango's hypnotism.

I absolutely respect Ohara's work ethic

[elliottpm]

The cerberus theory makes extra sense because Usopp talked about fighting a cerberus as one of his 'lies'

[InsaneBasti]

Would be pretty cool to see this kept up to date, like additional Iceberg theories thrown in the tiers.
Stuff like "the One Piece is in the center of Long Ring Long Land and only revealed during a huge Aqua Lagoona, which means the Strawhats too, were almost too early." or "Vivi will find the Snow Snow Fruit on Sunny when she reunites soon." are some of the biggest theorys rn, and Id love a full history of theorys by this Iceberg which we could all smile upon once the series ends :D

[kellanbigmoney]

Does the Will of the D stand for dream? everyone who has it has a dream

[AdoomX]

The thing about shanks is he is best suited for being able to take down Blackbeard. He has no devil fruit powers, rendering Teach’s dark-dark fruit useless, and let’s not forget that shanks was pretty much on equal footing with whitebeard, so the tremor-tremor fruit shouldn’t really be a problem. I feel like shanks and roger are aware that a devil fruit’s strengths weigh just as much as it’s weaknesses. I look forward to seeing shanks fight.

[coroflame]

The seven deadly sins theory works better if you assign them correctly.
Boa - Lust (obviously)
Crocodile - Greed (is always greedy with his ambitions)
Mihawk - Sloth (always lazy just wanting to live a peaceful life)
Moria - Envy (Was envious of kaidos power leading him to try find a way to match that power with oars)
Doflamingo - Gluttony (has an insatiable hunger for power and will do anything to get it)
Jinbe - Pride (pride and honor of a fishman)
Kuma - Wrath (since he was apparently a tyrant)

[ultimedsayian]

Fun fact, english voice actor for Sanji is the same guy who voices Trunks from Dragonball and Trunks is also a prince

[youtxbe_r]

17:36 To me, that looks a lot like Shiki. Shiki has blonde spiky hair and a yellow-and-orange-striped robe, so it fits, plus we know Shiki fought Roger's crew at one point in the Battle of Edd War. He lost, and afterward he came to respect Roger, so maybe he tracked members of Roger's crew down to meet them and that's why he met up with Crocus. The wiki page for Shiki even says that a doctor told him not to remove the part of the wheel lodged in his head, so maybe that doctor was Crocus! Finally, looking at the mystery person's knee, it appears to be made out of wood. Shiki's legs are swords since he replaced them after cutting them off to escape Impel Down. So I think that's Shiki meeting with Crocus, but Gaban is a cool idea and I definitely want to see more of him in the series.

[Nicocalcio]

The God Ussop theory at 16:30 has definitely turned into "the liar of Haki". Just like how Shanks puts fear into those who try to use observation on him Ussop will do a similar feat, but show them a future that doesn't happen, hence the liar aspect of the theory. Which plays a huge role in his eventual fight with Van Augur with the warp-warp fruit.

[ANunes]

One more for ya:
Imu is another trapped princess. Specifically, an analog to Shirahoshi. The idea is this: At the end of the void century, the Gorosei captured the princess of the ancient kingdom only to discover under interrogation that she can control the weapon that the ancient kingdom was using to dominate the world. They force the immortality operation on her and lock her in the flower room. Perhaps they wipe her memory. PERHAPS, the only way to make her forget that she wasn't always the Queen of the World was to erase ALL memory of the ancient kingdom using Pudding's memory fruit.

The Strawhats won't *defeat* Imu. They will *free* Imu.

The reason the World Government fear the truth of the void century getting out is that the Gorosei worry what Imu might do if she ever finds out who she really is, and what was done to her and her people. It's not about what the people would do if they heard the name of the ancient kingdom. It's what IMU would have done that forced them to kill Clover and destroy Ohara.

[Spyral]

Anyone think zoro absorbed a broken log pose ?

[Kyuuwai]

Imagine if at the end Usopp is the one that is telling this story before his execution, He became *_"Usopp the Liar"_*

[BenD_Bass]

I can't wait to see what Brook knows. He's definitely got some secrets. I want some last name reveals like Brook, Nami, Usopp, Koby, Sabo, etc. The family tree at the end is gonna be amazing. And I'm really starting to believe Imu is a character we know about already. It would be too easy if it was just Luffys mother.
