In the series we have come across people that carry the middle initial D. So far we know that most people with this ''D'' have always fought in a certain way. The clue's we have gathered for now are:

* The Will of D is carried by a whole family. Each member of the family has the D in their names. The clue that was left behind by Jaguar D Saul. He specifically said that he didn't know anything about the D, except that only knew that everyone in his family carried it in their names. The confirmation was given by the Monkey family. Everyone in that family carries [ From the current members we know ].

*So far every person with the D smiles before they die. So what does it mean? This means that they were grateful for their lives. Ace/Luffy/Gold Roger/Rouge/Saul have shown this before they died. Luffy showed this at Loguetown for people wondering why I added him.

Let's move on to Whitebeard's words:

''The man who Roger was waiting for... was not you Teach, at the very least..
When somebody finalls finds that treasure.... the world will be turned upside down.....!! A man will come foarth to challenge this world''. Of that great battle that someday will engulf the entire world''

We have gathered a lot of information over here, but we still need to figure out what this D is. So people that will always fight... people that can change something in this world. I tried to search for this word and came to a word called ''Defiance''. But Defiance sounds a little weird, so lets call it for now Defy. ''The Will to Defy''.

So I took some time to think and came up with the following:

I think that everyone's life is set up by fate in the One Piece world. These people are just following the path the fates laid out for them. Except for the D's. They are the ones that can defy their fate.Those with the name of D are free to make their own decisions, create their own paths. That's why their lives are generally harsher than others. But they are truly free, not governed by this world of the next's laws and that why they can smile at death. Because they have no regrets. They are also capable of liberating others. Those they care about, that they befriend, are freed from their paths. Not actually the same way, but still free. Their paths created by the fates are still there, but they are able to branch off to make their owns paths.

So how did the Will of D start? This answer lies in the Void century, even i can't answer this one. But if I had to make a theory about this then I would say that the first D was born as a regular man. but somehow was able to escape his path and the fates.

This makes sense. The fact that Garp's grandsons both became pirates instead of marines supports your theory.

Although i don't like the whole concept of everyone except the D's lives are fated. Thats probably because i don't like the whole concept of "fate" Lol. I don't like the idea that my life has already been decided for me and that i can't do anything about it. This is a manga though, i probably shouldn't be putting my personal views on life into a manga discussion.

tbh I dislike the idea that everyone but the Ds can't do anything about their fate, that would kinda make jorney of the majority of OP characters pointless

but than again if it's done the right way it could work well

unless those who are directly involved somehow are able to defy it to because of the presence of a D..

Law stated ''The D will make a havoc'' or something along those lines. If you take this into credit, then the whole ''fate'' system would make sense. And yes. ''D'' are the only ones that can change this world. Whitebeard said: ''Teach you are not the man, that roger is waiting for''. The camera switched to Luffy, another D. This is probably another clue.

I'm kinda torn I dislike the idea that the lives of most OP characters were set in stone up until now but on the other hand I like the concept of a D being someone who can change the world and grant freedom to everyone

well that would mean that a D is the only one who can change the world, maybe free the entire world
yes what's interesting is that D appearently does not die out like Wb said so it's not related to bloodline only, a new irregularity in the matrix will just appear again

'Ds' are very charismatic, can befriend anyone and has no fear of death. They don't believe in fate and live how they want to live.

Blackbeard is a heavy believer in fate and coward and screamed at his potential death at the hands of Whitebeard.

There can be a black sheep among the herd sometimes

Blackbeard could also be a fake ''D''. Or a corrupted one. Whitebeard saw the pitiful Blackbeard and thought that he isn't a true ''D''. So he said to him: That Roger isn't waiting for him. Roger is waiting for someone that can turn this world upside down.

The family of the Marshall Ds are cowardly, double-faced people who will lie, cheat and steal to save their own hides. Don't you find it strange that the Ancient Kingdom, who was so florished and superior to everyone else in technology, lost to the 20 kingdoms? The family of Marshall Ds betrayed them.

Luffy and Teach are complete opposites(even their taste buds). The only thing they have in common are their charisma. Blackbeard is a real 'D.', but his cowardly nature and wiillingness to betray his own nakama is revolting to the other Ds. The 'Ds' chase after freedom.

Luffy and Roger wanted to be the freeset man in the sea
Garp remained a VA because it gave him more freedom to do what he wants
Dragon created the RA because he wants to free the world from the WG
Ace wanted the freedom to live his life his way so that he can figure out his self-worth
Saul defected from the marines because he believed the Ohara scholars were free to study and learn as they please
Joyboy wanted all life on the planet to be free and live together in harmony
Teach gave up his own freedom so that he could gain power(Yami fruit from WB's ship)
