      The swastika is a symbol that is older than religion itself. It is a symbol that is found on every continent raging from America, to Japan, to India and during WW2 Germany. The symbol means “Universal piece” each leg represents the spiral that the Milky Way galaxy is shaped in. It means we are all one people under our galaxy. A symbol of freedom. True liberation.

    One Piece Theory: Ace Was Always Supposed To Be Joyboy
    Shanks had originally intended on giving Ace the Gomu Gomu no Mi because he knew of Gol D Roger's intent for his son to bring about a new era.
    The opening scene of One Piece takes place in the East Blue, where Shanks, already one of the most powerful pirates in the world, has recently left the Grand Line and been stationed at Dawn Island for over a year- but why? With all of the information and history surrounding Shanks, Gol D. Roger, and Ace revealed in the Wano Arc, it’s clear that Ace was always the character who was meant to fulfill the role of Joyboy by inheriting Roger’s will, and Shanks was there to kickstart this journey.
    In One Piece chapter 1018, readers learn that Who’s Who was working for the World Government as a guard on a ship when “Red-Haired” Shanks besieged it and managed to steal the Gomu-Gomu no Mi. Who’s Who goes on to tell Jinbe that while in prison, a guard told him about the legend of the Sun God Nika, a mythical warrior who was said to bring laughter and smiles to those around him, and that the guard was silenced for even knowing about the tale. Later on, it’s also revealed that the Gomu Gomu no Mi is actually a Zoan type fruit called the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika. This is meant to invoke the aforementioned Sun God Nika, but it still doesn’t explain why Shanks went after this fruit in particular or why he beelined to Dawn Island immediately after taking it.
    There are several pieces of evidence pointing to the fact that Shanks traveled to Dawn Island after retrieving the Gomu Gomu no Mi in order to give it to the son of his former captain, Portgas D Ace. When Gol D. Roger learned that he possessed an incurable disease, he set out to make three major arrangements. The first, as he let on to Rayleigh, was to father a son. After this, Roger contacted his greatest rival in the marines, Garp, and asked him to raise the boy and protect him. The second was to reach out to Whitebeard and tell his longtime friend what he had learned about the true history of the world. This presumably included things such as the meaning of the ‘Will of D’ and what the One Piece actually is. Finally, Roger left his young comrade, Shanks, with an as-of-yet unknown message that caused Shanks to well up with tears. On their own, each of these pieces of information can only tell part of the story, but when looked at together, it becomes clear what Ace’s role in the world of One Piece was intended to be.
    Ace was meant to carry on Gol D Roger’s will after his death and bring about the dawn of the world. One Piece is littered with references to “the dawn of the world” and imagery about the sun finally rising after a dark night. The current regime of the World Government is meant to embody that night. Ace was always portrayed as the sun, the character who should have been destined to bring about this new dawn. He stood in contrast to the Yami Yami no Mi wielding Blackbeard, a character who represented the idea that the world could yet be plunged further into darkness. Gol D. Roger knew the true history of the world and decided that it would be his son who would bring about the dawn of a new era, and by piecing together all of this information, it is likely that Shanks stole the Gomu Gomu no Mi with the express purpose of giving it to Ace so he could fulfill the role his father always intended him to.
    If not for a turn of fate, Ace could have been One Piece’s Joyboy, but with his passing, his will now lives on in Luffy, the man who will inherit his mantle and one day become King of the Pirates.

After watching this video I feel like he might've been happier dying young than if he had achieved his original goal and lived the rest of his life naturally after that. Really makes you think about what's really important in life.

    There were a lot of expectations for Ace, everyone expected him to be the next Pirate including his dad, mom, WB and of course Shanks. But Ace will never be Pirate King cuz he never dreamed of becoming Pirate King, he wanted to make WB the Pirate King. He always saw himself as a follower of WB kinda like Marco the Phoenix.
    This is why he spent most of his time roaming around by himself instead of training to get stronger or forming a forbiddable crew. Everyone knows if you're gonna be Pirate King you need a strong crew to back you up even kid Luffy knew that much.

    • @JAllenProductions
      @JAllenProductions Рік тому +10

      He didn’t do any of that. Ace had an entire crew where he was the captain called the Spade Pirates. His 2nd in command was Mask-Duce. He joined WB because WB defeated ace in battle and ace told WB to finish him off but WB saw too much potential in Ace to end him off so he asked him to join his crew and become his “Son”. It took Ace many months to finally listen and join the crew and everyday he would attempt to assassinate WB as revenge for taking him against his will. He was traveling getting stronger to defeat all the Yonkos. He didn’t know Shanks was luffys friend and he was gonna go after WB and then Kaido next.

    I have been contemplating this for awhile.
    If you follow the "hero with a thousand faces" theorem, then Ace could/should have been the main character, but fate decided not.
    Shanks also could have been the main character, but fate decided not.
    Roger was the main character, but of the prequel.
    Luffy should have fallen many times, but fate decided to make him the main character.
    The hero with a thousand faces trope, is essentially, the hero comes from humble beginnings, often from tragedy, yet they have a sense of destiny. Be it inheritance, fate/god given destiny, etc. They struggle, find a wise old mentor who trains them. And then they strive to reach their destiny.
    Roger chose to give birth to the destiny of others, perhaps intending ace to be the hero. Ace gave it up to serve whitebeard.
    Roger trained shanks, shanks gave up his inheritance to bet on Luffy.
    Luffy is the unlikely hero, that almost has become the main character via happenstance.

    Ace's death in this video has me thinking if sakazuki is the greatest detriment to the marines. Killing Ace was always the plan but what was important is context. The whole over the top execution ceremony was meant to treat Ace as a terrible criminal who deserved death for the world to see but because of Sakazuki Ace died a Martyr who protected his younger brother, perhaps the worst PR the Navy can present to the world. On top of his actions at Ohara and later fight with Kuzan led to his detection from the marines, and Sakazuki's leadership leading to a lot of animosity and low moral, it is quite hard to see whether he does more harm or good to his own organization.

    Liam made this video very light-hearted but my heart genuinely hurts watching this. I now have mixed feelings about all the information we will eventually have after one piece ends. Will Oda tell us straightforwardly about all these connects or will he leave it up to our smarts? It would be low-key cool if he does the latter but I also need: "Here are all the things I did on purpose," said Oda with a slightly sly smirk.

    I love how we can confidently say that if Luffy was captured instead, Ace would've been stupid enough not to ask whitebeard for help.
    There wouldn't have been nearly as much security, shanks would have shown up too, and I'm not as keen on thinking that Garp would hold his tongue when it comes to luffy.
    I think they definitely could both have survived in this case. Though, as we all know, despite him being as cool as he is, Ace never had his sabaody moment and is, therefore, still an idiot tactician.

    Has anyone else felt that inception-based pure hate at the end?
    Also, there IS a world where both survive: Oda (if I recall) drew an alterative ending where sabo saved both at the last moment. That's made me tear up a bit and that's the world I live in.
    Still. Ace has been framed non-stop in the post time-skip as "the one that should have been pirate king", and since it's odd to always talk about the only semi-relevant character that died and is not part of the story anymore, I'm convinced his death WILL have some kind of impact on the story in the future, and how his will even overdrew destiny.

OR was BB plan to try to take Dragons DF?….🤔 What was BB original plan lol Oda gives us so much but I need more 😂😂

      I think he probably thought of getting Dragon first but realized that he has no intel on him and is incredibly strong beyond his capabilities. His being on the WB ship gave him enough intel to know WB was incredibly weak and that Ace was Roger's son. He researches as much as he can about anything so he could've known of the baby massacre carried out by the marines to kill Ace.

    Ace's hat is on his grave. Also do you know that Luffy only had a 25% chance of getting to the Knock Up Stream that took him away from Blackbeard? Straw Hats found the location where they could use the Knock-Up Stream to get to the Sky Island by using the south bird. And guess what? The north bird, the eastern bird and the western bird is also live on the Jaya. Straw Hats could have caught the wrong bird, sail in the wrong direction and get caught by Blackbeard with a 75% probability!

    So Oda outright said that the D in the Will of D means something beyond just being a letter, saying 'just read it as D for now'. My crackpot theory is that there's no hidden name (I've seen theories saying it stands for Davy (Jones)) or anything like that. I think it's literally just XD. A laughing face. X is an unknown variable, which would make sense in the theory because D is put in the middle of someone's name. Monkey D, Gold D, it doesn't matter. X D.
