Haki can be transferred to a weapon, think of Reighley vs Kizaru or the Amazon Lillys' warriors arrows.

Also a quote from One Piece Wiki:

"Naturally this "invisible armor" can be used as a weapon to strike others with. It can be used to augment the user's own attacks, projected ahead of the user as pure brute force, or imbued in weapons to increase their effectiveness. Any attack enhanced by Busoshoku Haki hits immensely harder than it would normally be without it. The Kuja's Haki-imbued arrows, for example, are capable of penetrating solid stone."

thanks for the clarification.

having just re-watched that scene in the auction house, Rayleigh didn't transfer it into an object, he just looked at the crowd and they all fainted.

The reason why I do not think you can transfer haki into an object is simply because the object (sword) would break, and then your fist or whatever you used to hold the sword would block the attack through your haki instead.

And when the owner of haki is able to control the power in a weapon, so that the one cannot break? I give both Rayleigh and shanks credits to concentrate so much power in a sword as much as is necessary.

By the way I meant the scene in which Rayleigh use haki to break a lock on a mermaid which was equipped with a bomb? no doubt, that was an object.

Ah, you are absolutely right! thanks for hint!

here is another one:

Jewellery Bonney was previously a captive to the world government and she uses her powers to keep the gorosei young. A bit of evidence to suggest that she was a captive to the WG (watch the last 30 secs or so):



A less likely theory that I pulled out of the blue that relies on this to be true:

doflamingo = Sabo. However doflamingo appears too old so he must have had his age accelerated by Bonney whilst bonney was being held captive. Chances are he had his memory wiped too.

There is a remarkable similarity with regards to their style of clothing and hair colour, but facial features are quite different... take a look:




Also assuming Sabo is alive (check post number 11 in this thread).

Let me know if I missed anything

That would be a true sensation, if that is really true. But why not? there is a quite similarity between flamingo and Sabo...

About Bonny I have no Idea really, there isn't enough known about her yet for me to make my decision on what I think she could be apart of, but we definitely know she had something to do with the marines the idea. The of her making the Gorosei younger could be true, but I have read other theories saying the Gorosei are old enough to be from the void centuary, if that was true, I don't think bonny is that old even if she can change age. (We know the Gorosei atleast know information about the void centuary from what they said when ordering the death of Professor Clover).

But I can definetely poke a hole in the 2nd theory ^^ If Sabo was saved by Dragon, a revolutionist against the World government, how/why would he leave what that to become a pirate working for the government. Secondly in the Strong World episode 0 you can see Doflamingo at Rogers execution, 20 years before Sabo would have been born

Just had a look at the wiki to comfirm it too

"Very little information is known about Doflamingo's past, but he was present at Gol D. Roger's execution in Loguetown."

[Supertoaster]

Something else I feel could be true is that One Piece is the Rio Poneglyph which I believe to be located on Raftel, the island at the end of the Grand Line that only Roger and his crew are known to have made it to. With the Rio Poneglyph supposedly having all the information about the Void Century, what ever secret the World Goverment are keeping will be out and like Whitebeard said "the world will be turned upside down when One Piece is found".

If what i'm thinking is true, the question for me is - why didn't Roger carry all of this out? Did he just no have time because of this illness he had, or was the timing not right (thinking about what he said before his execution - "Inherited Will, Destiny of Age, Dreams of People. As long as people pursue the meaning of freedom, these will never cease") may be it was just meant to happen at this time?

well, why would he want to carry the treasure out? it is all tucked away safely in an Island that is extremely difficult to get to, to me it makes sense to leave all his treasures in Raftel.

With regards to one piece actually being the Rio poneglyph, I think it is a possibility. But one problem is that, how does one 'use' the Rio poneglyph? if the rio poneglyph = one piece, then how will Luffy 'use' the rio poneglyph to become pirate king? (chances are it is just another block of text). I think a better theory is that Robin deciphers the rio poneglyph and then gives this information to Luffy; then luffy somehow uses this information to become pirate king.

Lets not forget, Rayleigh knows the True History and his captain was the Pirate King too, so perhaps becoming the pirate king and knowing the true history go hand in hand.

I meant metaphorically, not actually carry out the Poneglyph (if that is what One Piece is), but carry on and tell the world what he found on this island.

I have thought about the (possible) fact that Sabo may be Flamingo. I don't think so! if he would be Sabo, I guess he would have prevented Ace's execution instead off support the marine. Sabo and Ace were best friend at least. Why he should be loyal to the marine in a war with such impolite behaviours?

I have read the post #26. I know that he was at Gol D. Roger's execution in Loguetown. But what does this portend in view of the speculation that Sabo is Flamingo in fact?

Because Sabo was only 10 when we first saw him, and roger was executed well before he would have been born.

Yes Bonny could have made him younger, but unless Sabo's parents aren't really his parents (which just makes this theory even less likely) it is impossible for him to be Doflamingo as he wouldn't have been born before Rogers death, grown old enough to see it in Loguetown, then go to Oushi Island, meet Bonny, be made younger, find fake parents. Do you think that is a plausable theory?

I think the facts argue against the speculation that Flamingo is Sabo, even if Bonny has Flamingo rejuvenated. Sabo was eliminated by an aristokrat when he set sail to be a pirate. Do you have forget that? perhaps Sabo was able to survive? I don't think so. Furthermore the characteristic is another aspect which argue against the supposition. Sabo is too friendly in contrast to Flamingo who has a wicked personality. And he was born when Gol D. Roger was already executed. In my point of view its unlikely that Sabo is Flamingo.

[Supertoaster]

I think we have got our wires crossed, I was trying to say that Sabo is definitely NOT Doflamingo

I'm up to date! . I just say: Punk Hazard. But Ruffy will fight against an other emperor? Blackbeard for instance?

Im up to date on the anime (half way through fishman islands arc) but after reading the first few words of the spoiler i realized that it was from the manga. I just wanted to ask, does the crew get a new member at the end of the arc? Also, should i read the manga instead of waiting for the anime ?

They don't, he was invited and just said he would like to when things are sorted.

Pretty much everything in the manga is in the anime, just the anime is about 40 chapters (around 20 episodes) behind. If it is better or not that is just preference, I watch/read do both.
