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.
Monkey D. Luffy’s Journey Was Decided The Moment One Piece Was Serialized
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.

This rope might be more important than we think pic.twitter.com/BggsQQgd4G
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.
Eiichiro Oda Is Preparing For The Final War
Before the Egghead Island arc, Eiichiro Oda promised his fans to draw the biggest war in One Piece history. With the Elbaf arc a few episodes away, everyone is pretty excited to see which side ends up victorious. Dr. Vegapunk’s message mentioned the winner of the upcoming battle would reign supreme. Every major character will make an appearance. Moreover, the fans will get to know about the giants.
Oda said it himself that the secret is in the logo

Okay, I'm no longer believing oda planned to end one piece 5 years after he started. At no point in time has oda actually planned for one piece to end before 2025😭

The fact that it ends on anchor, and luffy was seen worn anchor shirts during his flashback when with shanks.

Oda said that the logo had a hint on the one piece, if you look closely, the jolly roger is the reverse mountain, luffy is the red line, the last island is connected to the reverse mountain by the rope. So the rope has a lot of meaning

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.
One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll, and the manga is available on Viz Media.
