    What is One Piece?

    Sorry if this has been discussed already, but... what do people think is the "One Piece" treasure? Is it the ancient history, a collection of devil's fruits, gold and jewels, objects of power, or all of the above?? Post your theories here!

    Well it must be something really really good. It can't be just a piece of tresure, 'cause that would be totally lame. I think it's some kind of weapon, or maybe something that fulfills wishes, or something that gives a lot of power.

    It's one of the ancient weapons. A ship capable of flying off into space. So that the Captain who reaches it can continue to journey to the end of the universe with his nakama.

    I don't think it's anything, I think he simply said that knowing it would start the great age of the pirates.

    I'm pretty sure in an interview with Oda he said One Piece was a tangible object.

    you remember what interview?...I don't remember anything about that.

    It would be awesome if it is in fact a shit load of gold but most likely it will be something symbolic. I'm just gonna put what I wrote somewhere else (can't remember where).

    Gold Roger said he left EVERYTHING he owned in One Piece. What did he own? Wealth, fame, and power. I believe Raftel (the last island) doesn't hold Gold Rogers treasure, instead it holds a deep meaning. The Grand Line is a very dangerous place and Raftel is the last and hardest island to reach. Pirates who are able to reach it are pirates with great wealth, great fame and great power and that is what I think One Piece really is. You will have gained all those three aspects when you finally reach the last island. Raftel just gives proof that you are indeed the greatest pirate that ever lived.

    meh...its just a thought. It could just be a mountain of gold....or the rio poneglyph.

    @Deblas: I like your theory. It actually makes loads of sense.

    I'm also in favor believing that one piece is an understanding of some sort in relation to Roger's treasure, since it seems that the crewmembers all have a dream and/or treasure. However, I also recall some AP members referencing that Oda said One Piece is a tangible object. I'll try digging it up tomorrow if nobody else does, for now I need to finish some work.

    Maybe all of Gold Roger's "treasure" is left there. Maybe the history of the D.'s, and maybe he left his family there. Just a guess.

    The key phrase is he left everything "in One Piece." What did he own? Although I like Deblas' theory a lot, it doesn't have much to do with the actual phrase. It's more like "One Place." Remember, whoever takes One Piece becomes the pirate king. If all it takes is to reach Raftel, then we'd have lots of pirate kings because I'm sure those uber pirates like Whitebeard and Shanks are all very capable of getting there.

    I support the idea that One Piece is a tangible object because one must possess it in order to be crowned the pirate king. Going on pure speculation, I think it revolves around the idea that Luffy is *possibly* Gold Roger's son. I think One Piece is actually Luffy. Again, focusing on the phrase "left everything in One Piece," I think he meant that fame, power and wealth did not mean anything in comparison to his own son, and when he passed away, the only thing left that he cared about was in "one piece," his son, while everything else has been shattered. This would lead to the pirate age and the quest to find One Piece would separate the true pirates from the greedy wannabes.

    All other pirates would then interpret this as a quest for fame and wealth, but really it is merely a test of character for his own son. Throughout the series they often emphasized how most pirates in the world have written off One Piece as a myth and don't really bother to live as real pirates. Also, the entire show is based around the goals and dreams of each member of the Straw Hat Pirates and how they band together despite their different agendas. That is the true pirate spirit. He wanted his son to grow up to be a good pirate and if he makes it to Raftel (or wherever the thing is) and finds "One Piece," it will likely just be something that says CONGRATULATIONS. The story is not about becoming the pirate king; instead, it's about persevering through tough times and never giving up in order to reach your goal.

    A lot of thought put behind that, but unfortunately Luffy is 17 and Roger was executed 22 years ago.
