The concept of becoming the Pirate King has been a major focus of the One Piece series since its inception in 1997, with Monkey D. Luffy’s dream at the forefront. However, a recent theory proposes that Luffy’s journey towards this title may deviate in an unforeseen direction.
Despite his determination to become the Pirate King, it is possible that another member of the Straw Hat Pirates could end up claiming the title. Buggy’s claim about being the first to find Joy Boy’s treasure suggests a potential plot twist. As the truth behind Luffy’s ultimate goal remains unknown, Eiichiro Oda may have a surprise in store for fans as the series nears its final saga.
Possible Ending for One Piece: Nico Robin as the Pirate King
Buggy once stated that becoming the Pirate King does not solely depend on one’s strength, but rather on who can obtain the treasure first. Given Eiichiro Oda’s tendency to surprise, Buggy’s seemingly simple statement may hold a deeper significance. It is possible that the most powerful individual may not necessarily claim the title of Pirate King.
Since the beginning of the series in 1997, fans have been aware that Luffy’s ultimate goal has always been to become the Pirate King, a dream he has held since his childhood. However, when the Wano arc came to a close, Luffy surprised his crewmates by revealing a new dream that had previously been kept secret from fans. This could suggest that Oda has some unexpected developments in store for Luffy’s journey.
This enigma surrounding Luffy’s ultimate objective suggests that he may have a different plan in mind beyond simply becoming the Pirate King. This raises the question, if Luffy is not destined to be the Pirate King, then who will take on that role?
Nico Robin’s Role and Her Connection to the One Piece
Robin’s dream to uncover the true history of the world and what happened during the Void Century is closely tied to the goals of the Straw Hat pirates, particularly in becoming the Pirate King. This connection is evident in the manga, as the pursuit of the One Piece treasure and the quest to reveal the mysteries of the world’s past are closely intertwined.
The significance of the Poneglyphs lies in their ability to reveal the secrets of the Void Century and lead to the discovery of a great treasure. Their decipherment is known to be a skill possessed solely by Robin. This suggests that in the event that the Straw Hats were to reach Laugh Tale, Robin’s expertise in reading the Poneglyphs would make her the first to comprehend the true nature of the One Piece. As a result, she would be the one to enlighten Luffy about the treasure, technically making her the first to “find”it.
Notably, it should be pointed out that Robin is the sole member of the Straw Hat crew who hasn’t explicitly declared that Luffy will become the Pirate King in a dramatic fashion. Rather, she references the wings of the Pirate King without directly mentioning Luffy, showing a subtle yet significant difference in her perspective.
Further supporting this theory, in a 2009 interview, Eiichiro Oda playfully joked about Nico Robin taking over as the Pirate King instead of Luffy. This playful remark hints at potential developments in the Final Saga of the One Piece series and adds to the foreshadowing surrounding this theory.
Reflection
Despite the Straw Hat pirates’ inevitable journey to Laugh Tale and discovery of the treasure, Luffy’s ultimate dream may differ from that of becoming the Pirate King. This opens up the possibility of a surprising turn of events where Nico Robin’s exceptional abilities and knowledge play a crucial role in their ultimate success. It remains to be seen where the One Piece narrative will take us and what surprises Eiichiro Oda has in store for his devoted fans.
- One Piece fans may have already met Rocks D. Xebec, and he could be a member of Shanks’ crew
- One Piece may have teased exactly what Roger found at Laugh Tale in chapter 1120, and nobody noticed
- One Piece’s inspiration for Laugh Tale could see Luffy meet the original Joy Boy at series end
