Hello! I’m KENTA, a manga lover from Japan. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at seven unresolved plot points in One Piece. There are countless plot threads scattered throughout the story, and I’ve picked out the ones that seem particularly significant. Let’s dive into these mysteries and see how they might be resolved in the future. Exciting developments ahead!
1. Zoro’s Left Eye Scar: What’s the Connection to Mihawk?
Zoro’s left eye scar has been one of the biggest mysteries in One Piece. How did he get this injury? Many readers were shocked when they first saw Zoro after the time skip. My personal theory is that Zoro might have gotten this scar during his battle with Mihawk. Mihawk is on the island where Zoro was training, so it’s plausible that Zoro suffered this injury during a fight with him.
If Zoro has indeed lost his eye, will he continue to fight without opening it? Of course, fighting with one eye closed could put him at a disadvantage, so I’m really looking forward to the moment when the truth about his eye is revealed. If Zoro inherited Mihawk’s “Guruguru no Me” (the ability related to the spinning eye), that would be insane!
2. Sanji’s Flaming Legs: A Link to the Lunarian Tribe?
Sanji’s flaming legs remain a mystery as well. Initially, I thought this was just an anime exaggeration, but when the “Lunarian Tribe” was mentioned during the Wano Country arc, I started wondering if Sanji might have blood ties to them.
The Lunarians are known for their fire-related abilities, and Sanji’s flaming legs could very well be connected to this power. Perhaps the manipulation of the “failure” gene by Judge awakened Sanji’s Lunarian blood. It’s also possible that Sanji’s mother, Sora, may have had Lunarian abilities, regardless of Judge’s intentions.
3. Nami’s Hometown: The Mysterious “Oykot Kingdom”
Nami’s origins are still a bit of a mystery. While we know she grew up in Cocoyashi Village, her birthplace was the “Oykot Kingdom,” and we’ve yet to learn any details about it.
The name “Oykot Kingdom” appeared on a Vivre Card, and little is known about Nami’s family before she was adopted by Bell-mère. When this plot thread is eventually explored, it could reveal some huge secrets about Nami’s past and her background.
4. Usopp’s Lies Coming True? The Fate Born from Lies
Usopp is famous for being a liar, but what’s truly interesting is how some of his lies seem to turn into reality. One notable example is the lie about pirates attacking Syrup Village, which eventually came true.
There are other instances as well, such as the tales of a giant goldfish and a country of little people, where Usopp’s lies manifest in reality. It’ll be intriguing to see how these “lies” continue to impact the story.
5. Zoro and Sanji’s Relationship: The Rivalry That’s Still Unresolved
There’s still unresolved tension between Zoro and Sanji. Both are highly competitive and have a strong sense of pride—Zoro as a swordsman and Sanji as a chef. Despite being crewmates, they’re also fierce rivals.
It’ll be exciting to see how their relationship evolves and when their misunderstandings and rivalries finally come to an end. The moment when these two characters reach an understanding will be a significant turning point in the story.
6. The Mystery of Luffy’s “D” Clan
Luffy’s connection to the “D” clan is still shrouded in mystery. There have been several characters from the “D” family introduced, but the true nature and secrets of this bloodline have yet to be fully explained.
How exactly is Luffy related to the “D” clan, and what does it mean for the future of the story? This mystery is bound to be revealed as the plot progresses, and we can’t wait to learn more.
7. The Ancient Weapons and Nami’s Weather-Sensing Powers?
Nami’s ability to sense weather might not just be about weather prediction—it could be tied to one of the Ancient Weapons. If we look at the events in the Drum Kingdom arc and the changes in Nami’s condition, it’s possible that she possesses some kind of special ability.
If Nami turns out to be connected to one of the Ancient Weapons, it would be a major plot development, potentially making her a key player in the story’s larger conflicts.
The seven unresolved plot points mentioned here could have a huge impact on the future of One Piece. There are still so many mysteries to uncover, and I can’t wait to see how they all come together in the upcoming chapters.
