Inspired by Gol D. Roger’s last words before his execution, Luffy and his crew, like many other pirates, hope to locate the elusive One Piece treasure in order to realize their dream of becoming the next Pirate King. The whereabouts of the treasure are still unknown despite the Straw Hats’ best efforts.
There is a widely held belief that the solution has always been obliquely present in the series. Eiichiro Oda’s propensity for giving away spoilers lends credence to this theory, which also fits with the humor and irony that define the series.
This intriguing theory holds that the world of One Piece was once sideways tilted, essentially flipping the positions of the North and South poles, due to a historical shift in the planet’s axis that resulted in a 90-degree rotation. Important changes resulted from this shift, such as the reversal of sea currents.
If this theory is correct, it could solve a lot of the series’ mysteries and reveal where the last treasure is, which has been long suspected.
The location of One Piece was already disclosed by Eiichiro Oda in the first chapter.
One Piece has a very interesting theory put forth by a YouTuber by the name of Drop the Pizza. This theory suggests that Polestar Island and Lodestar Island should be switched, with Lodestar serving as the starting point and Polestar as the final destination.
Reverse Mountain may have once been located at the North Pole, based on the names of the islands themselves.
The centrifugal force may have contributed to earlier, lower water levels near Reverse Mountain, according to the theory. This may then have formed a link between Loguetown and the underwater landmass on the other side of Reverse Mountain.
It’s a fascinating theory that Laugh Tale and the One Piece treasure could be underwater, maybe even under Reverse Mountain. If this theory is correct, Roger may have found the treasure close to Polestar Island, Loguetown, where he grew up.
This reading is consistent with what Roger says in Chapter #1 when he says he left his treasure “there.” The Japanese word “there,” “Soko,” means “right there” or “close by.” This could explain Roger’s chuckles and his caustic remarks about Laugh Tale being the “last island” to remain uninhabited for eight hundred years.
Uncovering the Secrets of One Piece Using the Pole Reversal Phenomenon
It’s possible that Laugh Tale is hidden underwater, which would account for Roger’s crew’s early arrival. The manga panel’s reference to coating ships at Sabaody may be significant, implying that bubble coating may be a necessary component to reach Laugh Tale.
This idea makes one consider the other underwater islands that the Straw Hats came across, including Wano, Water Seven, Impel Down, and Long Ring Long Land. According to the theory, Laugh Tale might only show up every few decades when water levels drop.
It makes readers wonder if the first chapter of One Piece revealed the biggest secret in the series. In the end, no one knows what will happen in the epilogue except Oda. Whether or not the theory holds water, One Piece’s resolution is expected to be remarkable.
