Hey everyone, I’m a German fast growing Content Creator for One Piece theories, running BigNewsMorgans (@newsmorgans) on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. I would like to bring my theories over to the English community.

Guys, I need your help this time. I have a theory that keeps almost working, but I can’t get the last piece to fit.

The Pattern
In One Piece the same structure might keep repeating. One Joyboy, one Sadboy, and one Deadboy.

Quick note on where “Sadboy” comes from: in Chapter 1085, while Sabo is in the Pangaea Castle throne room trying to rescue King Cobra, Cobra reveals that the Nefertari royal family also carries the “D.” initial. This prompts Sabo to remember a childhood conversation with Ace and Luffy. He had mentioned that both of his sworn brothers shared the middle initial “D.” while he didn’t have one. In true brotherly fashion, Ace laughed and told him he could just be “Sa D. Bo” so he wouldn’t be left out. Sad Boy.

Luffy is the Joyboy, the carrier of hope. Sabo is the Sadboy, lost his memory, lost his brother, carries the grief ever since. Ace dies right in front of both of them. The timing is perfect, all three are active at the same time, and when the Deadboy dies, something passes to the Sadboy. In Ace’s case the Mera Mera no Mi.

The Second Example
I go even further back, the pattern might repeat here. Joy Boy was the Joyboy of his era. Imu, in my theory, was the Sadboy, not a born villain, but someone who lost something and never processed it. And the Deadboy was an ancient Lunarian, someone we may have already seen on the Elbaf mural. Just like Sabo ate Ace’s fruit to carry his legacy forward, I think Imu did the same, stepping into the Lunarian’s body after his death to carry something of him forward.

The Third Case
Roger is the Joyboy of his generation. Whitebeard might be the Sadboy, the strongest man in the world but someone who never got what he actually wanted. And Oden dies, boiled alive but singing until the last second. Except the timing doesn’t work. Oden dies years after Roger. That’s not clean.

Where It Gets Complicated
The timing actually works much better with Rocks D. Xebec for the middle generation. At God Valley, Roger and Whitebeard were both present when Rocks fell. That fits. But then I hit a wall.

Where I’m Stuck
If the pattern holds, something should pass to the Sadboy after death. But Whitebeard already had the Gura Gura no Mi at God Valley. So he can’t be the Sadboy who inherited Rocks’ fruit. So who actually forms the real trio here? Is Roger even the Joyboy in this generation? Is Whitebeard really the Sadboy? What is the correct trio constellation for the Rocks generation?

A New Power System
Imu himself calls it the holy trinity of dominance. Three separate forces. Domi Reversi, Covenants, and Omen. And what makes this interesting is that he says all three are natural human instincts, not something he invented, just something he learned to weaponize.

Domi Reversi
The first force is corruption. It targets people who gain power too quickly, too easily, without ever earning it. Imu steps in at exactly that moment and turns them into a demonic version of themselves, stronger, but no longer who they were. The gap was already there. He just fills it.

Covenants
The second works completely differently. No force, no manipulation. Just contracts. Power in exchange for servitude. Four levels: Shallows, Depths, Abyssal, Demon. The deeper you go, the more you gain, and the more of yourself you give up. Nobody is forced to sign. Everyone does it voluntarily.

Omen and Maki
The third force is the most interesting one. In the West it’s called Omen. In the Japanese original it’s Maki. Haki breaks down as Ha, dominance, and Ki, energy. Maki breaks down as Ma, demon, and the same Ki. Two systems, one shared core, opposite directions. And according to Imu, Maki comes from envy, from the desire to reach something that should be out of reach. It doesn’t just live in some people. It lives in every single living creature. It manifests as a black flame that can overwhelm even experienced Haki users in seconds.

The Royal Exception
Conqueror’s Haki exists in one out of several million people. Innate, never learnable, a marker of someone born to stand above others. My theory is that Maki has the same exception. A highest form that only exists in someone born with the right conditions.

Gunko’s Eyes
In Chapter 1186, Groh says it directly: heterochromia, two different colored eyes, is extremely rare, and what the great one desires. He then adds that he himself never awakened it, but the sentence gets cut off. Something can be awakened there.

In many indigenous cultures, people born with two different colored eyes are believed to see two worlds at once, the world of the living and the world of spirits.
In Egyptian mythology, Horus carries two eyes: the right is the sun, the left is the moon. Both cosmic poles simultaneously.

Haki and Maki are opposites, but both exist in every person. Gunko carries both poles in her eyes at once. That’s not an aesthetic detail. In my view, that’s the physical condition required to channel both energies simultaneously, which is the only way Kings Maki can emerge at all. Groh has the eyes but not the innate Conqueror’s quality. Gunko has both. That’s why Imu wants her body specifically.

The Pattern That Doesn’t Add Up
The Harley text names four gods: Sun God, Rain God, Earth God, and Forest God. The three known Ancient Weapons, Poseidon, Pluton, and Uranus, cover three domains: sea, earth, and sky. So something doesn’t add up. One domain has no weapon. This might be no accident in the story.

What the Road Poneglyphs Actually Point To
Four Road Poneglyphs exist, each pointing to a location that together form the route to Laugh Tale. Other Poneglyphs describe the locations of the three known Ancient Weapons. Could it be that the Road Poneglyphs don’t just lead to a treasure, but to the fourth Ancient Weapon? The one tied to the Forest God domain? The One Piece itself?

Why the Forest God Domain Fits
The Forest God in the Harley text is ancient, biological, native to the natural world, and unforgiving toward anyone who approaches without permission. In Greek mythology, Artemis is exactly that: goddess of the forest and the hunt, ruthless toward anyone who gets too close without being worthy. Nobody ever said there are only three Ancient Weapons, that number comes from what historians and scholars counted. Just like the Nika fruit was hidden, renamed, and stripped from the official record for 800 years, a fourth weapon called Artemis could have been treated the same way.

Biological Like Poseidon
Pluton is mechanical. Uranus is mechanical. But Poseidon is biological, a living person. I believe the fourth weapon follows the same logic. Not a device, not a ship, something alive, maybe even a tree. Two mechanical weapons, two biological ones. That would be a perfect balance. And just like the Sun God, Rain God, and Earth God each have an heir carrying their power today, I think the Forest God does too.

The Buggy Detail
Buggy got severely ill right before the Roger crew reached Laugh Tale and had to stay behind with Shanks. At that point Buggy already had his Devil Fruit. Whatever waits at Laugh Tale seems to be a living biological force, native to this world, and just like the ocean rejects Devil Fruit users as foreign essences, it may have done the same to Buggy the moment they got close enough. Might be not a coincidence but a biological rejection.

Building on Bluestar
In an earlier post I argued that Bluestar wasn’t always a planet, I think it used to be a sun that burned out and cooled. If that’s true, the Ancient Kingdom would have faced a real problem: how do you bring a dead star back to life?

Three Tools, Three Jobs
My take is that’s exactly what the Ancient Weapons were built for. Pluton, god of the underworld, is canonically a warship capable of reshaping land. I don’t think it was built to destroy, I think it was built to form mountains and valleys, to give Bluestar its surface. Poseidon, god of the sea, is canonically Shirahoshi, who controls the Sea Kings, the most powerful beings in the ocean. I think Poseidon wasn’t built to wipe out enemies either, I think it was built to direct water, to fill the oceans and spread life. Uranus, god of the sky, is the one weapon whose true purpose has never been confirmed. My theory is that it was built as an artificial sun, replacing the dying Bluestar and giving the world light and energy again. Earth, water, light, the three basic ingredients for life. Three tools, one system.

Then Imu Happened
Imu is confirmed to have used some Mother Flame-powered weapon to destroy Lulusia, and my take is that this was Uranus, stolen and repurposed as a weapon instead of a light source. Pluton, meanwhile, sits buried beneath Wano, confirmed sealed away rather than used for its original purpose. Poseidon is Shirahoshi, monitored and controlled by the World Government. All three tools that were supposed to save the world ended up locked away or twisted into something else entirely.

These weren’t weapons. They were terraforming tools.

What the Harley Text Actually Says
The First World chapter of the Harley text opens with “within the earth there was fire,” followed by “mankind succumbed to greed and touched the forbidden sun.” That’s canon, straight from Robin’s translation in chapter 1138.

My Theory: Bluestar Was a Sun
What if that line isn’t metaphorical at all? My take is that Bluestar wasn’t always a planet, I think it used to be an actual sun, and life existed on the worlds orbiting it instead, places like Birka, Skypiea, and Shandia. At some point, I believe that sun burned out and cooled into the planet we see today. That would mean the entire system shifted from heliocentric, with Bluestar as the center everything orbited, to geocentric, with the now-dead Bluestar just sitting there as a planet instead.

The Naming Detail
Oda calls the planet “Bluestar,” not “Blue Planet.” Given how deliberately Oda names things, especially with the Gorosei and the Ancient Weapons, I don’t think that distinction is accidental.

Why the Motherflame Matters Here
It’s confirmed that Vegapunk built the Motherflame specifically trying to recreate an ancient power source he couldn’t fully understand. In my view, that ancient source is exactly what the Harley text describes, the fire that was once inside the earth itself, meaning the Motherflame is essentially a weaker copy of Bluestar’s original core energy.

So Where’s the Sun Now?
If Bluestar isn’t generating its own light anymore, something else has to be providing it, since day and night clearly still exist. This is where I think Uranus comes in. Out of the three Ancient Weapons, Uranus is the one nobody has a clear answer for. The name itself just means “the sky” in Greek. My theory is that Uranus isn’t a weapon at all in the traditional sense, I think it’s an artificial sun, built to replace Bluestar once the real one died out.

Why It’s Being Used as a Weapon
A sun isn’t dangerous on its own, it only becomes one if all that energy gets focused onto a single point instead of spread out. I think that’s exactly what’s happening with Uranus, it’s being weaponized in a way it was never meant to be used. The Second World text says “man killed the sun and became god,” and I read that as Imu defeating Joy Boy and taking control of Uranus for himself, putting himself in the position the sun used to occupy.

What the Harley Text Actually Says
The Harley texts, translated by Robin, explicitly name a Sun God, an Earth God, a Forest God, and a Sea God across the three worlds. The First World ends with “the Earth God was enraged, and together with the serpent of infernal flames, shrouded the world in death and darkness. They would never meet again.” The Third World ends differently: “the sun will return once more, and a new dawn will arrive. Surely, this time, they will meet again.”

Why This Reminds Me of Egypt
In my view, this maps closely onto the Egyptian creation myth of Geb and Nut. In that myth, the Earth God Geb and the Sky Goddess Nut were locked in an eternal embrace with no room for life between them, until the air god Shu forcibly separated them, close enough to see each other, never close enough to touch again. I think “they would never meet again” is basically a direct echo of that same myth.

The Visual Parallels
The mural does show the Adam Tree positioned centrally between the worlds, along with ships resembling solar vessels. I think the tree plays the same structural role as Shu in the Egyptian myth, the thing standing between sky and earth, and the ships remind me a lot of the solar barge of Ra sailing across the heavens in Egyptian art.

Mapping the Gods
Here’s where I start connecting names. I believe Nika lines up with Ra, a sun god who’s cyclically reborn, similarly to how Nika resurfaces after 800 years of suppression. My take on Lily is that she’s Nut, the sky goddess whose tears become stars, which fits with how she scattered the Poneglyphs across the world, especially given Alabasta’s strong Egyptian visual identity.
For whoever holds the Earth God title, my theory is that the Red Line itself might be their body, twisted and used as a wall to keep the seas divided, similar to how Geb’s bent form is said to create the mountains of the earth in the original myth.

Who’s Playing the Role of Shu
This is where Imu comes in. My read is that Imu is the one acting as the cosmic separator, the role Shu played in the Egyptian myth. The Harley text does say the Forest God sent forth demons, and I think Imu fits that role, especially with how he’s shown isolated in the Room of Flowers on Mary Geoise.

What This Would Mean for the Ending
If this mapping holds, I think the Red Line falling wouldn’t just be a political collapse, it would be Geb and Nut finally reuniting after 800 years apart. The seas merging into the All Blue would basically be the myth resolving itself, sky and earth touching again for the first time since the separation.

Dozan The Earth God is the secret treasure of Marijoa

Hey everyone, I’m a German fast growing Content Creator for One Piece theories, running BigNewsMorgans (@newsmorgans) on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. I would like to bring my theories over to the English community.

What Chapter 1183 Confirmed
It’s canon that in chapter 1183, while fighting Loki, Imu says Nika and Nidhogg will die just like Dozan. That’s the first time the name Dozan comes up at all, and it’s written in katakana, meaning it’s not a native Japanese name.

My Take on Who Dozan Is
In my view, Dozan was another ancient figure alongside Nika and Nidhogg, basically a god from the same era. I think “Don” relates to earth, so my reading is that Dozan was the Earth God, and Imu already eliminated him long before the current story.

Edit: After some good discussion in the comments (credit to u/ShoveOverBozo), I want to walk back part of my Dozan theory a bit. The argument that Oda never drops a name without context is solid, and there’s a real possibility Dozan refers to the previous Nidhöggr user rather than a separate Earth God. I’m still leaning toward my Earth God reading for now, but wanted to flag that this part is shakier than I originally presented it.

Why Imu Couldn’t Just Kill Him
This connects to a separate theory I posted before about Devil Fruits being preserved Birkan essence rather than something that can be permanently destroyed. If that’s true, Imu wouldn’t have been able to erase the Earth God completely, only the body. What I think happened is Imu sealed that essence away somewhere instead of letting it move on to a new fruit.

The Marijoa Treasure
It’s canon that Doflamingo mentioned a treasure on Marijoa capable of “shaking the world to its foundations,” and that there’s a giant straw hat kept in a frozen vault there, seemingly something only Imu has access to. My theory is that this hat isn’t just symbolic, I believe it’s the actual container holding The Earth god‘s sealed essence, and that’s exactly why it needs to stay frozen, so it never decays and the seal never breaks.

Why Rocks D. Xebec Knew Something the World Didn’t
It’s canon that Rocks D. Xebec, confirmed father of Blackbeard, once broke into the Room of Flowers and called himself a devotee of Davy Jones, most probably the heir to the Earth God.
In my view, this wasn’t a random encounter, I think Rocks already knew something about what Imu was hiding, and that knowledge eventually became part of the plan he passed down to his son.

Blackbeard’s Whole Life Makes Sense With This
This is where my Trichotomy theory comes back in: I believe Devil Fruits split into body, mind, and soul, which is why Blackbeard already has the Yami Yami no Mi for the soul and the Gura Gura no Mi for the mind, but no Zoan, meaning no body. If the Earth god‘s essence really is exactly that missing piece, then everything Blackbeard has done, waiting years before eating his first fruit, infiltrating Marineford, breaking out of Impel Down, looks less random and more like one long plan building toward this exact moment.

The Question Nobody Really Answers
If Devil Fruits really are preserved Birkan essence, like I covered in an earlier post, there’s a question that doesn’t quite add up: why doesn’t that essence just take over the human host completely? A fully developed, ancient power should overwhelm an average person instantly.

My Theory: The Trichotomy
This is where I think an old philosophical idea actually explains the mechanic. The Trichotomy is the concept that a being isn’t made of two parts but three: a physical body, a rational mind, and a soul. In my view, the Birkans used this exact structure as a blueprint. A complete Birkan essence would have been too powerful to transfer into a human body in one piece, so what I think happened is that each essence was deliberately split into three fragments before being placed into fruits.

Mapping the Three Types
In my reading, Zoan represents the body: pure biology, DNA, raw instinct. Paramecia represents the mind: intellect, ego, the ability to conceptualize and create. Logia represents the soul: pure elemental energy.

Why Zoan Works in Objects
This also explains something that always seemed strange to me, why Zoan fruits can end up in weapons or objects, like swords, hammers, or a certain straw hat. I think of Zoan as the actual shape or form of a creature, basically its physical blueprint, including the instinctual programming baked into that biology. None of that needs a heart or blood to exist, just something to hold it. It’s also canon that Vegapunk found Zoan fruits the easiest type to artificially replicate, which fits well with this idea, pure biological form is simply less complex to recreate than mind or soul.

Why the Human Side Stays in Control
Since each fruit only carries one third of the original essence, my take is that it’s simply too fragmented to take over a human mind completely. That’s not a flaw in the system, I think it was intentional by design.

What This Means for Blackbeard
This is where it gets interesting for Blackbeard specifically. With the Yami Yami no Mi he has the Logia, the soul. With the Gura Gura no Mi he has the Paramecia, the mind. What he’s missing is a Zoan, the body. If my theory holds, Blackbeard isn’t randomly collecting fruits, he’s working toward reassembling all three fragments of one single ancient Birkan into a complete being again.

The Automata Aren’t Empty Robots
It’s canon that Enel found ancient robots called Automata on the moon, in the ruins of Birka, and reactivated them using his Devil Fruit’s electricity. They have full personalities and memories, they can build, react, and communicate. These aren’t mindless machines.

My Theory on Why They Became Machines
It’s canon that the Birkans left the moon due to a resource shortage on their homeland. My theory builds on that: I think this shortage was severe enough to push them toward a drastic survival measure, moving their consciousness into mechanical bodies instead of biological ones, since machines don’t need to eat or age the way biological bodies do.

My Theory on Devil Fruits
Here’s where it gets connected to a separate theory I have: I think Devil Fruits are actually preserved Birkan essence, the biological core of an individual Birkan extracted and stored outside the body. The idea is that this essence was meant to eventually be placed into organic hosts on Earth.

Why the Automata Never Had That Power
It’s canon that Vegapunk created Green Blood specifically because Seraphim units, which are part-organic cyborgs rather than fully mechanical, needed a biological medium to actually use Paramecia powers. A purely mechanical body wasn’t enough on its own.
My theory is that this is exactly why the ancient Automata never showed any Devil Fruit-like powers, despite likely coming from the same Birkan lineage. No blood, no organic tissue, meant the essence couldn’t be stored in them directly. That’s why the Birkans needed a separate vessel for it, which is what Devil Fruits became.

A Plan That Was Never Finished
The moon murals show three Birkans being sent down to the planet while their people weep behind them. My theory is that these three were meant to deliver those preserved powers to Earth. The expedition never made it back, and the Automata were left behind with nothing to do but wait, until Enel stumbled onto them centuries later by accident.
