[WhistleBlower]

D Means...​

1. Myth:

was able to hear the dragon talking in the

Fact: The

was not

. Therefore everything in it (except for a few things like the

information) was not written in the manga by Oda. This rumor was originally created by a popular anime blogger who took a wild guess after watching the arc. Due to the popularity of said blog, others also pondered on the idea (though some fans came to this meaning on their own accord). However, it has been proven

has an important plot role.[SUP]

2. Myth: It is the first letter of the civilization name.
Fact: We do not know what the D. means at the moment. This comes from the significant actions of the

to stop

saying the name.

3. Myth: It is not a D it is

of a smiley! (example: :-D). Also, every D character that appeared in the series has smiled (even

).
Fact: This one stems from the act of smiling upon death.

4. Myth: It is the name of the royal family of the lost civilization or a clan within it.
Fact: We do not know anything about their culture or if they even had a royal family.

5. Myth: D. means "Devil".
Fact: This one is a nod to

. Fans tend to try and match the name to every word beginning with 'D'.

6. Myth: It means "Damashii".
Fact: This one is linked to the talk of spirits and "will" throughout the series.

7. Myth: It is half a circle.
Fact: This one comes from "One Piece", the speculation is that the D. is half a circle or patten/symbol. In other words, acquiring Roger's treasure will result in the symbol becoming "One Piece" again.

8. Myth: It means "Danger". One of the

said so in

!
Fact: One of the elders really said that, but that's due to the translation "D always means danger", meaning that all of the people with D on their name were dangerous people.

9. Myth: It is given to those who can

a new era. Such as Roger starting a new age of pirates, and Blackbeards's betrayal and Ace's capture leading up to the Marineford War.
Fact: Portgas D. Rouge's only (confirmed) significant act in life was giving birth to Ace.

What do you guys think? Which "myth" seems to be most probable?​

 

[WhistleBlower]

I personally like Myth 2 & 3

 

[Hexuze]

I personally like Myth 2 & 3

Same here.

Nice dude!

 

[Dr Strangelove]

I like the last idea.
That everyone with it is capable of starting a new era are helping to start it but not all choose to. They have the potential to though.

 

[Pekoms]

Okay, every spam post from here on out, like the ones just deleted, will result in an infraction.​

 

[Jellal Fernandes]

#9 is the one that's looking right to me. Good stuff

 

[Kirikoe]

myth 4 and 6 seem possible

 

[chopstickchakra]

I think it most likely has to do with the lost nation in some form.

 

[Itachi4days]

D = descendent , as in a descendent from the original civilization from the void era. IMO

 

[shon93]

The Initial D is the name of the ancient kingdom and all of the people wanted freedom thats why the WG see D's as a threat. The ancient Kingdom dream was to unite the seas and bring it into "ONE PIECE but they lost to the WG. Thats why they say the Will of D because its the will of the ancient Kingdom AND Roger inherites it but he was to sick to accomplish it so he passes it down to this generation hence Luffy

Why do you think the gorosei ordered Clovers killing before he could say the name of the ancient Kingdom

 

[cryhwks]

The theory I like the most is the one about the several moons and one of them being shaped like a D and the D's being dependents from that moon.

The funny one I like is D for Danger lol that means Austin Powers is a D too.

 

[ahmher]

i like 1 and 5 myths

 

[Aertes]

A combination of 2,4 and 6 seems the most plausible to me.
Being descendants of the civilization that was destroyed by he world government during the void century. It also makes sense to me if those descendants have a stronger or different spirit/will as all the characters that have the D. seems to be very strong and specialized in the use of CoC.

 

[Uchiha Samater]

d standing for a letter in the lost nations name is plausible

and the carriers of ''d'' now, are descendants of them

 

[Scorps]

I think D. stands for the name of the "family" that has its roots in the old civilazation. So far, all the ones with the D. in the name were strongwilled, special people that were important to shape the world. The "will of D." is probably this strong spirit and will power that is linked to that blood line.

The old civilization is a mistery but for some reaosn the world goverment wants to hide it and what it means and what it stood for. Its for me, the proof that those individuals are somehow linked in terms of background and ancestry to those of the old civilziation. The last remnants of it. Thus why they fear the will of D and why the D. will bring the end of the world or something of the sort.

Btw, all name relationships with english names shouldn't be taken into consideration that much... Its a Japanese mangan. Its true he uses many english names but we can't go and say its Dragon or its Devil... The Devil fruits aren't even named Devil fruits in the manga. although Dragon can be both Ryu and Doragon so its unknown. Still i don't think its that literal.

Why do you think the gorosei ordered Clovers killing before he could say the name of the ancient Kingdom

After seeing that, I will have to agree with the D being the kingdom that was lost
