[Discussion] Why do yonko not care about One Piece?

[Bogard]

Whitebeard - Wanted family more than anything. Even refused Roger's proposition to tell him where One Piece is
Shanks - Should know where the one piece is. Yet doesn't try to get it for some reason.
Kaido - Just looks for a place to die

They reign in the new world and are probably the closest pirates to the One Piece, yet they don't seem to care about it when other pirates try to surpass them and discover the tresor

Why did Oda decided to make major antagonists like yonko not caring about one piece?

It makes Luffy's ambition really odd if you ask me, to surpass guys who don't even care about what you're trying to look for

 

[OG sama]

Damn your right, Big mom most definitely doesn't care either.

Where's the tension? They might as well just let Luffy by.

 

[A v i]

At least BB cares about it. And Luffy needs to throw then out of their thorns to prove himself to be the ruler of the seas.

 

[Skylar Knight]

A varity of dreams and ambitions makes the world of One Piece much more intriguing. While there are people who's looking for the treasure, like Blackbeard, Luffy, and a handful of the Supernovas; there are also characters with a different set of goals.

What good does becoming Pirate King do them? It's mostly a title that signifies the one with the most freedom to sail, but the Yonkos are pretty much free to sail just as much. The purpose of Luffy becoming Pirate King is because he wants the adventure of becoming the one who is symbolically most free. Surpassing people isn't a core/inherent part, it just happens to be a part because many people want to do it too.

 

[GreyWizard93]

It's cool to have people know where it is and not go for it. Makes them more interesting as to why they don't want to.

None of them knows the route of raftel, roger told Wb that whether he wanted to know the way to go raftel or not , that indicates that there is no normal way to go there or you cant find Raftel on your own, you might need someone else thats why younkous dont acquire territories in grand line bcoz they want new comers to find a clue or a way out of new world which leads to Raftel.
Well WB is a special case, he never became a pirate for one piece all he wanted was family but for others one piece is the reason why they became a pirate.

Every pirate has a different dream and ambition, and even those who look for the same thing, have different benefits of it or rather, they have different reasons as to why they want it. The idea of having the main 4 antagonists look for the one piece itself is silly as they currently have no reason to do so. As for why Oda didn't, I think it's because he would have no explanation for why they haven't founded it already(they have what it takes to find it imo), and if he did actually have a reason as for why only luffy was able to find it, then that would make luffy too special IMO and that's one thing oda was careful about.

 

[nandachikara]

because they already know what onepiece is all about and what it is...maybe

Buggy is treasure lover, then why he never looked for it. If it is that easy then why he came back to East blue???

He simply did not have what it takes to be in the new world nor did he have enough dedication to begin with.

He is rite now in New world and was on the PK ship. He knows about New world better than anyone. But he still chose to chase small treasures instead of big ones.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

He is rite now in New world

?

and was on the PK ship.

Ok so?:lol that doesn't give him the same power,dedication,will and ambition roger had.

He knows about New world better than anyone. But he still chose to chase small treasures instead of big ones.

Knowing about the new world alone doesn't qualify people to actually be in it as pirates or outlaws.

 

[Relostar Devil]

?

He is in new world, every character in shonen moves with main protagonist

Ok so?:lol that doesn't give him the same power,dedication,will and ambition roger had.

Atleast he can try plus he should be infamous but oda messed up. Same for Shanks, he has everything but can't reach to Raftel

Knowing about the new world alone doesn't qualify people to actually be in it as pirates or outlaws.

But having strong crew can really help you there.

 

[kageking]

Not all pirates believe in/care about One Piece. As whitebeard said his interest is in having family, Shanks is probably similarly uninterested, Kaido just wants to watch the world burn and big mam values candy over treasure.
We also don't know the secret of Raftel, why is it hard to get to? This may also be a huge detterant in looking for One Piece.

 

[Love Cook]

Sanji is a pirate - Check
Sanji's has a dream - Check
Sanji's dream is to find One Piece - Nope

Not all pirates dream about finding One Piece.

What the hell are you saying numbskull, You posted three times and every time you posted it made less sense.

So what Buggy was on Roger's ship, he was clinging to Rayleigh's leg when the fighting started. There is also no proof that Buggy made it to the New World so far. Buggy's crew consists out of Alvida, his east blue gang and Mr. 3 (Not exactly what you call strong). He has interest in fortune, yet One Piece might not be a financial treasure. It's been hinted that only people with the will of D. can travel there. Roger might not even have been to Raftel with Buggy.

There are a million reasons why Buggy and his crew of weaklings can't or won't make it to Raftel and all you claim that Oda has messed up.

Get your facts straight.

 

[hixa kuogame]

Does anyone in One Piece actually care about the one piece? No one is actually hard pressed to find it.

 

[YellowFang]

Because they are already emperors...?

 

[giostep]

Well, truth is, one piece might not be worth the trouble.
For higher tiered characters you have to ask how much is that extra "Whatever" worth.

 

[ArabianLuffy]

Getting One Piece requires having a lot and a LOT of allies in case World Government went all out. Probably Marineford, the Navy's army were small compared to what so-called "the great war of century".

or...

Spoiler

Whatever the nature of the ultimate treasure, One Piece, it obviously involves Poneglyphe which requires someone who can read Poneglyphe, and Oda showed that there are very few who can read Poneglyphe. Ever since the destruction of Ohara probably it became impossible to find Poneglyphe reader.

Probably of all places, Ohara was the only source of knowledge of Poneglyphe and it would be too hard yet dangerous to spread this knowledge even secretly due to how World Government label anyone know the least of Poneglyphe would be considered a criminal and probably would be sentenced to death.

If the public know that, they wouldn't dare to even mention Poneglyphe. They would forget about it and live on in the dark ages of World Government. But even if we assumed One Piece doesn't involve Poneglyphe, there is that 800 years fallen country, and it would be obvious it won't mean anybody's business, but only few people who are still alive and haven't revealed themselves and are waiting for that day to come.
