There hasn't really been much discussion on this likely very important artifact on this forum, so I decided to make a thread in order to see what you guys think it is. I personally believe it is the Ancient Weapo, Uranus.

Well, the revelation of the National Treasure is supposed to shake the world. Doesn't the world already know about the general existence of the ancient weapons?

Doflamingo also said it would allow him to take over the world, so it has to be something powerful. Besides, we don't know what Uranus can do.

That's true. Though it could be indirect control. If he could get his hands on it, could bribe the Nobles into following him.

That wouldn't make any sense. How would pirates and revs get DFs if they are produced from one tree located at Mariejois and why did Smiley's DF reappear in the nearest fruit when Smiley died?

It makes perfect sense alp the fruits in the world are just reincarnated and recycled they aren't "new" this tree makes new fruits not recycles old ones

You've misunderstood

It's where they were originally from, they regrow on any tree when a user dies

And this one makes new fruits

But it still doesn't make sense. This National Treasure would shake the world, but how would the WG having custody over the tree that produces DFs be a bad thing to the citizens? The WG gets new DFs instead of the pirates or revs, how would that make the citizens revolt against the WG?

a) the origin of devil fruits
b) gives the WG a huge advantage over the revolutionaries
c) pirates will start to target Mariejois and joining the revolutionary cause

That wouldn't be shaking the world since only the pirates and revs, who are already enemies of the WG, would get mad at this news and the citizens of One Piece wouldn't care.

Pretty sure the citizens of the world would care if their governing body was under even greater threat

The origins of devil fruits is really earthshaking news, it'll have a similar effect to the discovery of the Higgs Boson, it changes everything

The National Treasure is supposed to make some of the citizens revolt against the WG, and they aren't going to revolt to the idea of their precious WG having access to new DFs instead of pirates and revs. What are the pirates gonna do? Unanimously unite just because the WG has access to more DFs?

When was it ever said that it would cause mass revolts and protests?

If the WG is hoarding information and secrets from regular citizens it creates an air of great distrust and dissatisfaction

Yes, probably, that's what will happen when the revolution happens.

Just give up, I have an answer for everything

That's kind of what shaking the world means.
Or they could just believe that the WG didn't tell them so that people wouldn't try to steal the DFs for nefarious purposes.
"OMG the WG has access to more DFs! Lets put our differences aside and unite against them just because of this!!"
Doesn't mean you have good answers for everything.

World shaking just means it would probably effect everyone.

It's more a case of greater unity of Government Opposition Groups that is of their own concern.

The WG having access to more DFs is a pretty weak reason for the final war to happen though. Also, Kaido is using SMILEs, but the other pirates aren't all uniting against him.

I also think the National treasure is Uranus(mainly because we have nothing else to go on). If not the weapon, then its a mini tree of DFs like the others are saying. The WG have a monopoly of strong DFs and that's no coincidence. All those strong DFs have to come from somewhere and if word gets that the Gorosei has something like that or Uranus in their possession, marines will defect, countries will rebel and pirates will attack to get their hands on it.

The WG is the largest organization on the planet, so they find DFs more often than everyone else.
