Seeds of Unfinished Adventure
Anyone familiar with the ‘One Piece' fandom will know that the Roger Pirates were the only crew to have discovered the One Piece treasure. Their account, however, left fans dumbfounded when they revealed that they had reached Laugh Tale twenty years early. This set the stage for speculations of a massive shift in the One Piece universe.
The heroic captain, Gol D. Roger, was running out of time, owing to his illness. His circumstances forced the Roger Pirates to speed up their quest for the One Piece treasure. He inspired other pirates to pursue the legendary treasure, although he kept his observations of the island and the One Piece a secret.
Teasing the One Piece Mystery
One theory that has gained attention speculates the true nature of the One Piece. The theory could also provide clarity on why Roger and his crew arrived on Laugh Tale two decades earlier, and the reason for Shanks' tears on the return of his crew from their final journey.
As revealed by Reddit user u/Dgemfer, the ‘One Piece' treasure could actually be a diary and a log pose. The diary apparently belongs to Joy Boy and it chronicles his adventures. The entries in the diary also expose the reality of the Ancient Kingdom and the oppressive World Government. The Roger Pirates interpreted the diary to understand the ancient events that transformed the One Piece world 800 years prior.
Significance of the Log Pose
The log pose is not an average maritime tool as it provides context for an untouched journey, presumably to the Ancient Kingdom. It records the magnetic field between the current island and the upcoming one. However, the log pose had not been charged when it was discovered. Therefore, the extensive time it took to fully record the magnetic fields indicates a difficult journey to the Ancient Kingdom.
It suggests that when the Roger Pirates reached the island, the log pose required an extra twenty years to document the entire magnetic fields for the unbeknownst journey to the Ancient Kingdom. Such an adventure would be a perfect fit for the Straw Hat Pirates, who are likely to follow suit.
The Role of Shanks
The Reddit theory's extension by user u/Asleep-Associate4464 gives an informed perspective on Shanks' involvement in the One Piece narrative. The user believes that the theory elucidates not only why the Roger Pirates failed to locate the Ancient Kingdom but also why Shanks wept upon seeing them.
In Shanks' eyes, Roger was a hero, much like how Shanks is to Luffy. Thus, when Shanks learned that his hero couldn't realize his dream of upheaving the world by exploring the entire Grand Line, he was heartbroken. He was also aware of Roger's disease and the consequent impossibility of another adventure.
Shanks' aspiration to claim the One Piece recently suggests his preparedness to fulfill his captain's dream now that the log pose is ready.
With One Piece available to stream on Crunchyroll, fans can join the adventure and uncover the mysteries behind the One Piece treasure. Stay tuned for more updates on the show.
