There have been countless theories surrounding the One Piece. No one knows what Eiichiro Oda is hiding in Laugh Tale. Whatever little information the Roger Pirates provided was all vague. While the fans have been scratching their heads regarding the ultimate treasure, the mangaka hid a simple hint in plain sight. The One Piece logo seems to be a simple logo depicting the anime.

But it is hiding a massive secret that most have overlooked. The 1100+ episodes could be summed up with a word. The logo is itself the biggest clue, and there was never any need for the countless theories for the past two decades.

It is interesting to think that Monkey D. Luffy always had luck in his favor. First, Shanks gave Roger’s Straw Hat to him, which made him a recognizable individual among the old-generation pirates. Second, he always seemed to come out of dire situations. Lastly, his oratory skills can even change a politician’s mind.

While it seems to be the ‘luck factor’ that rescues him in every scenario, Eiichiro Oda might have used the ‘fate factor’ to bind him to the One Piece. Since Eiichiro Oda designed the One Piece logo, fans believe he is hiding something in plain details. After much research, they theorized that the logo defines the plot’s world. The ‘O’ with the Jolly Roger explains Luffy’s start.

The ‘NEP’ signifies the first half of the Grand Line, known as Paradise. The red ‘I,’ designed in Luffy’s stature, means the Red Line. The ‘ECE’ is the New World. Above and below the logo are two blue lines. It represents the calm belts. The ‘E’ at the end of the logo is anchor-shaped. People can notice the anchor is tied with a rope.

The other end of the rope is held by the skull at the beginning. The rope could justify Monkey D. Luffy’s journey, with the anchor being the end. Oda has a habit of foreshadowing. Designing the logo might have been one of the tricks to fool the audience into thinking something deep while he had painted the entire picture pretty early.

Since Monkey D. Luffy is one of the main participants in the war, it looks like the theory might be true. He might be fated to be the Pirate King, especially after Gol D. Roger said he was 20 years earlier. The logo theory has everyone thinking again. More than the theory of the logo, it is the mangaka’s geniuses that have everyone spellbound. Mysteries have become a part of the One Piece fandom.
