WHERE'D HE GET THE "D"?! - One Piece #702

I guess Corazon can talk now

Dandy

I see a lot of the same comments so I'll just add that as Rosinante (Corazon) said "In a certain land, those with the initial D were said to be the enemies of God" and added that he thinks that means the Celestial dragons. It's one of the great mysteries in one piece, such as for example what is the one piece and what happened in the void century. Part of the fun of One piece is trying to figure it all out lol

Doffy has quite the checkered past

I think it stands for Dawn

whole comment section about the D. lol Doffy and Cora-san (Rocinante) had rough childhood together as siblings. That's why Doflamingo said previous episode "I saw Heaven and Hell on earth by the age of 10". He was born with power and wealth but grew up poor and powerless. Doffy knows better than anyone what it's like to be wealthy once yet at the same time be poor and experiencing hell on earth. He likes people with "f*cked up history" because he can relate to them and understand them like with Law.

Lastly since people are throwing out theories about The Will of D, my theory is basically like everyone’s about Void Century/Facing World Government, etc. I more so want to focus on the name itself and say the “D” could possibly not be a letter, but actually a symbol. I think the “D” is representative of a half moon 🌙, just like in many anime the moon has a significant role to play in plots and I believe there’s a connection between those who have “D” and the moon itself. Maybe they had gained special powers from the moon because of genetics passed by their ancestors. I can’t fully explain the theory because of spoilers, but keep in mind it the “D” may have something to do with the moon.

Ok Curtis so FINALLY happy you have caught on to this “D” situation now because it’s something very important and hinted at since the beginning of the series. Your question is whether or not Law and Luffy are blood related, the answer to that is no. BUT they may be related indirectly to one another in a being apart of a clan or group of ethnic people. As people in the comments already mentioned there has been many people with the initial “D” in their names Monkey D. Luffy Monkey D. Dragon Monkey D. Garp Portgas D. Ace Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard) and GOL D. ROGER (Most likely Buggy D. Clown) The point being all these people have a some similar characteristics where they appear to be involved in events that impact the entire world and have tremendous amounts of luck to overcome impossible odds. You can kind of say the Will of D are all like the Uchiha clan by being born with some latent power.

Brother E

My little theory of the Will of D is that they're all descended from a clan that wrecked some serious havoc during the Void Century and that's what led to the formation of the World Government and the rise of the Celestial Dragons. That's all we have though, is theories. Only Oda knows the truth. We're just scrounging around for little details scattered over 1000+ chapters of story. So take the theories in the comments with a grain of salt.

Oh yeah, no actual communal relationship between the holders of the 'D' (hehehe) At least not as far as we know yet. It's been presented as more of a title rather than a family bond, though it is not clear what exactly makes someone a 'D'. All we know is that they're given the title at birth, and that they're supposedly the enemies of the 'gods', which everyone assumes relates to the Celestial Dragons. My personal theory is that D stands for Devil, because who else would be a sworn enemy of god, or in this case, Celestial Dragons. The people who carry the title are those who, through one way or another, bring a great change to the world. "The Will of D" is something Whitebeard teased Sengoku about during the war, as someone else already pointed out. The Government fears the will of D, probably because it's in the very nature of those people who carry it to disrupt the order of the world that the 'gods' imposed.

Lewd Angel

The theory about the will of D is that it's either a name coming from a person from the void Century passed down or it's a title giving to certain people that lived in the void century that fought against the world government through out the years

Nika

That would make sense... And honestly, be pretty cool, too! :-)

Spaz Boys Comedy

Yea, that's the type of thing I was wondering if might be the case...

Spaz Boys Comedy

They did say that those that have the "D" are sworn enemies of the Gods. It's possible by Gods they mean the Celestial Dragons

Oh also ! Don't know if you remember Curtid but back in in Marineford Whitebeard was taunting Sengoku wih it saying that he knows the world government secretly afraid of the Will of D

Mr. A

In any case, whenever someone has "D." in their name they're usually very important and have some sort of impact on the world. I personally think that they can be the natural ennemies of the Celestial Dragons but that's just my theory !

Mr. A

I feel it's like everyone with d may have originated from from a common family or Kingdom long ago. Like everyone with d is a desendant of this Kingdom or something like that. It hasn't been fully explained so it's mostly just us speculating.

I gotta admit, I'm really surprised that the "D" thing has nothing to do with Luffy. That was a complete swing and miss on my part. I would have bet that there was some sort of communal relationship. 😄

Spaz Boys Comedy

I see we're getting a lot of the same comment, so let me express that my curiosity is that there is some sort of communal relationship to all those with the "D"... I shouldn't have used the word "family" in the description, as I meant that in a much larger than just blood relation manner... They may not have any real connection at all. It just seems to me that there must be some sort of tie that binds.

Spaz Boys Comedy

Yea, but my thought is that maybe it isn't necessarily a direct blood relation, but a relationship forged in some other manner?

Spaz Boys Comedy

Well curtis you've seen from blackbeard what can happen when a person with 'D' in their name is twisted and amoral. Corazon probably realized if Law is a 'D' someone as twisted as Doflamingo should not be mentoring him. We don't need another twisted psychopath with the initial d one is enough.

Law has the best D. Wait...I mean He IS the best D. More questions, less answers, as usual! I think Oda has about a 1:3 ratio of "answering questions:creating more questions" :D Your known D's for reference: Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Dragon, Portgas D. Rouge, Portgas(Gol) D. Ace, Marshall D. Teach, Jaguar D. Saul, Trafalgar D. Water Law

The D was a thing before like Roger nothing to do with luffy

Raphael Lyons

The D isnt anything to do with luffy's family, theres been plenty of people already shown that have the initial D 😁👍

Gazille

Jaguar D. Saul was name of the giant who helped Robin when her island was getting Buster Called and he was froze to death by Aokiji. He, Ace, & Roger all have the middle initial “D.” as they are all members of the the will of D and aren’t directly blood related to Luffy.
