Usopp has the voice of all things.
Zoro has the voice of all things.
Hell anyone can have the voice of all things.
You might not believe me now, but just wait, by the end of this video, you will see one
piece like you never have before.
(Welcome back sunlight alliance, this is your captain speaking) - lower third SUB CTA
In life, we have language.
Language acts as a communicative device that differs between cultures and groups of people.
However there are other ways of communication that override the limitations of speech like
Telepathy; the ability to communicate through thought.
It is not a proven form of communication, but in theory exists on a wavelength that
only some with the ability, are ablea to sense.
This wavelength grants communication between animals, plants, and people of different languages,
unconfined to the limitation of language or sound.
Why does this sound so familiar?
Because you already know what this is within the story.
THIS, on a surface level, is the voice of all things.
However the “voice”, so commonly referenced in the story, goes much deeper than that.
Another thing I’m going to bring up a lot today is Souls.
These two things go hand in hand, and can be hard to differentiate.
Consider souls, the energy or spirit of living beings.
Each soul has a distinct personality, and a specific voice.
Souls can be ingrained naturally within inanimate objects like swords, boats, poneglyphs, or
trees; granting them the voice of that soul which can be heard via the ability of the
voice of all things.
Okay so the whole Zoro thing at the beginning probably caught you off guard.
You probably think I’m crazy.
Zoro has never been shown to hear zunisha or the sea kings like luffy!
Well, before you cut my head off, let me explain.
Did you know, the voice of all things, was actually introduced by zoro?
Yup, all the way back in alabasta when Zoro fought and defeated Mr.1 of baroque works.
“The rocks, I could feel something alive in them, Breathing.
Trees with heart beats of their own.
I can hear it, the breathing of his steel” These were comments made directly by Zoro.
So what does this mean?
This tells me that there are levels to the ability.
Let’s refer to this as level one, the ability to sense.
This first level is able to be achieved by those who are more in tune with nature, or
those who have an innate talent for observation haki.
Examples being Koby, and Aisa from Skypiea, who both wept while the voices in their respective
battles’, disappeared.
They didn’t quite know what was happening, but they could sense voices.
Usopp, who was able to sense the soul of sugar, is another great example.
Even Fujitora in that same arc, was able to sense the souls and emotions of those around
him through this ability, which makes sense given his condition.
This is why anyone can learn the voice of all things.
Because the voice of all things is not purely an inherited ability.
The “Voice” is a wavelength that is perceivable to those all who have reached this level.
Zoro was not the only one with the ability to hear the voice of all things earlier on
in the story.
Luffy, before even becoming aware of Haki, was able to use this first level as well,
even if he didn’t know what he was sensing.
During Jaya, when we are first introduced to blackbeard, luffy and Zoro point out something
that has been discussed and debated for over 15 years in the community.
There’s more than one.
There is nothing in the story that explains their ability to sense blackbeard's abnormality.
It makes perfect sense because Blackbeard has more than one voice, or rather more than
one heart.
I’m not going to go too deep into this theory, but I’ll link the full blackbeard theory
by 333vil in the comments below if you want to check it out.
A part of that theory is that because of the mythical zoan blackbeard consumed, he has
three hearts, which is why he is able to consume three devil fruits.
Yes three, not two, just watch his video after this one.
We already know the hearts of people in one piece are directly correlated to the soul;
as demonstrated by law in punk hazard.
Thus, Luffy and Zoro were sensing the voice of the other souls or hearts within Blackbeard's
body.
This isn't even the only connection to the voice of all things in skypiea.
Skypiea actually gives us more exposition on the voice of all things then any other
arc in one piece prior to wano.
Once the straw hats reach skypiea, Ussop encounters a spirit aboard the Merry-go.
This legend is known as Klabautermann.
Also described as a manifestation of a ship's soul that appears when a ship is loved and
cared for to warn the sailors of a danger.
What happened here is that Usopp's will to protect merry, amplified the will of the soul
within merry, which led to the manifestation of klabautermann.
That is also how the legend was born, because anyone with an immense will, is able to affect
the will of other souls.
Why do you think Zoro is always talking about bending the will of his blade?
He’s not just a crazy lunatic who talks to swords.
Each of his swords has a will, and a voice.; just like merry did.
What do you think that Grim Reaper was?
It was the manifestation of Enma, the blade literally named the god of death; just like
klabautermann was a manifestation of merry.
Okay okay sorry I’m getting a bit ahead of myself.
Back to skypiea, where we get two more obvious hints to the voice of all things.
The first being Aisa as mentioned earlier, the second being the ancestor trees.
What did we establish at the beginning?
That souls can embed themselves within things like trees.
What do souls have?
A voice.
What types of trees were these?
White trees.
What are white trees, like the whale tree stated to have in the story?
Voices.
See what I mean?
The connections are planted everywhere, you just have to look hard enough to see them.
Now to finish this segment off, let’s do a little trivia.
What else in skypiea, that we haven’t established, has a voice?
Is it A. Choppers screams of agony as he fights the dumb guy with candle hair?
B. Enel as he makes his surprise face?
Or C. The poneglyph?
The Kozuki are said to be the creators of the poneglyphs.
Somehow, when Roger visited the poneglyph in Skypiea, he was able to hear a strong voice
emitting from it.
Another youtuber best generation, who actually inspired me to finally put this huge video
together, brought up a great point in his video about the voice of all things which
I would like to highlight here.
The souls of the kozuki, are now residing in the poneglyphs that they made, just like
the shandoran ancestors' souls resided within the white trees.
This is what Roger heard, the voice of the kozuki souls, lingering, waiting, guiding.
“I hereby guide this document to its end”.
Have you ever considered what the poneglyphs were made for?
They aren't there just to be a historical puzzle.
They are there to preserve erased history, and to guide the right people, to the right
place, at the right time.
They were made to guide those who will bring the dawn upon a world of darkness.
But wait, roger and oden weren’t the ones meant to do that, luffy is!
Well yes, but no.
Each generational shift, there are those born with the potential to be those people.
However the true dawn can't come unless certain pieces are all in place at the same time,
which is why roger and oden, were too early.
They were missing fundamental pieces to the puzzle.
The three ancient weapons.
Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus.
The three ancient weapons, surrounded in mystery.
Let's explore what we know as fact.
1) Poseidon is Shiroshi, who can control the sea kings. 2) Pluton is a ship capable of
destroying islands.
3) The poneglyphs in alabasta and skypiea share the location of pluton and poseidon
respectively.
How can we use the voice of all things to determine the other ancient weapon wielders,
besides shirahoshi?
Let’s start with the most obvious example, momonosuke.
Who, like his father, has the voice of all things.
However there is a striking difference between the two.
Momonosuke was able to command zunisha, JUST like shirahoshi is able to command the sea
kings.
With this power, momonosuke could order zunisha to replenish wano, destroy parts of the red
line, or even walk for another 1000 years…
Momonosuke probably wouldn't do that though...
But because of this I think it’s safe to assume that momo is most likely one of the
remaining two ancient weapons.
So who is the other?
I, like most people, am putting my money on Vivi.
There are a multitude of reasons why people have speculated that vivi is an ancient weapon,
but the one that does it for me is this scene.
Vivi, on top of the clock tower, tries so hard to stop the war happening below her,
but her voice doesn’t reach.
Oda himself has pointed out how hard this scene was for him to write, and how important
it is to the story.
What does the voice of all things allow people to do?
Well as we saw luffy do in wano, it allows those at a higher level to telepathically
speak to others without using speech.
If Vivi had the voice of all things, her struggle to tell the people fighting below, that the
war is over, would no longer be an issue.
Next to vivi being a part of royal lineage that dates back to the void century just like
momo and shirahoshi, plus all the tie ins to pluton during alabasta, the voice of all
things being introduced in alabasta, and this heartbreaking moment during the final act;
it almost wouldn’t make sense if she wasn’t revealed as an ancient weapon.
Later on in the story, she or luffy will use the voice of all things to stop a great battle,
and this moment will come full circle, with one of the most satisfying payoffs in one
piece history.
So what’s up with this eye?
And what does it have to do with the voice of all things?
Like I’ve stated before, there are different levels of the voice of all things, just like
there are different levels of haki.
Being more in tune with the voice’s wavelength, means one has become more intune with the
core at the heart of everything, that links all things together.
The First level is the ability to sense and feel this wavelength.
Zoro in alabasta, Aisa, Koby, these are examples of that level.
Level two is the ability to listen.
Luffy and Roger both demonstrated this level at fishman island, plus roger at skypiea.
The third level is the ability to communicate.
The only example of this being luffy, after he was knocked off onigashima.
The next level, level four, is the highest form of the voice of all things one can have.
I will refer to this level as enlightenment.
The only other level there is not really a level at all, but a lineage based ability
to control ancient creatures, held only by the ancient weapons.
Back to enlightenment.
Why did I use this name?
Because this eye is actually a reference to buddhism.
The enlightenment stage of Buddishm, grants the enlightened person the knowledge of all
things.
This is also what heavily influenced the rinnegan in Naruto, which looks eerily similar to the
eye we see in one piece.
I suspect that people or elephants, with this eye have reached the highest form of awareness
of this wavelength.
They can see souls, and talk with the voice of trees, ships, and swords with ease.
This is also how I believe a black blade is forged.
In order to turn your sword into a black blade, you must first understand it’s voice, and
influence it’s will, bending it to match your own.
This can only be achieved by building a bond with the blade over countless battles.
Now before we get into the crazy revelation I have planned, we need to talk about one
more thing, or rather one more person, who connects all of these dots together.
Monkey D. Luffy.
Why is Luffy so important?
He’s not an ancient weapon.
He’s not god.
He’s not an enlightened, or royal being.
Luffy is important, because he’s luffy.
There is no one else in the one piece world like him.
And although there are others who have also shared characteristics with luffy, none of
them were born at the right time, nor did they wield the right power.
Now I want to state that no, I don’t think roger had the gum gum fruit.
I think that every generation, there is one person born with the same ambition, the same
will as the one who came before in the previous generation.
However, Luffy's devil fruit is very important.
It’s stated by the gorosei that luffy's fruit is a legendary fruit that has not been
awakened for centuries.
What is this awakening?
I have a million ideas.
But that’s not the point of this video.
What is important is that Shanks stole this fruit from the government, gave luffy his
hat AFTER luffy ate the fruit, with the objective to surpass him, and is just now starting to
make moves in the new world, at the same time luffy became an emperor of the sea.
Why would luffy need to surpass shanks?
Why does King tell Kaido that as long as he’s the strongest, he will become the pirate king?
Why does Luffy always say, I need to be the strongest?
Why did A VOICE tell Roger that one day, someone would come to surpass him?
Shanks’s plan, Roger's will, Luffy's will, it all ties back to the voice of all things.
At the end of the series, there will be a war.
Currently in the story, we are knocking down the dominos that will eventually lead to this
conflict.
Luffy will have probably the biggest army the world has ever seen, and they will be
facing off against the world government.
Still, things had to be put in place, for this revolution to happen.
A plan was set 800 years ago by someone who was knowledgeable of the connection between
time, souls, inherited will, and voices.
This plan was created because the joyboy of that time could not accomplish their dream,
but knew that someday, someone would.
Someone predicted that a certain person, with the disposition of a king, the will of freedom,
and a heart of solid gold, would one day be born and earn this title once again.
They would be born at the same time the ancient weapons resurface, and they would be the only
person, capable of using their power for good.
In order to aid that person, they left behind a map to guide them, forged into unbreakable
stone, so that the plan could never be erased.
The voices of the Kozuki reside in the stone, constantly speaking of the importance of this
person, so that even those who come too early, are also guided in the right direction.
When the time comes, the person of promise, will have to become the strongest.
Of course they knew that he would want to, since his dream would be the same as those
who came before him.
And in order to accomplish that same dream, one would need to be the strongest.
During his journey to find strength, he will find knowledge.
This knowledge, this strength, and his ability to gather comrades, is what will lead to him
commanding the biggest army, and the world's most powerful creatures.
Once he accomplishes what the ones before him could not, a dawn will arise upon the
world, and their shared dream can finally be attained.
Oda used Zoro, blackbeard, ussop, Aisa, koby, momo, shirahoshi, vivi, riger, oden, luffy,
to show us that there is a wavelength in this world that connects everything.
It hasn’t given us all of the answers yet, but the voice has guided us, the fans, clue
by clue, to the eventual conclusion.
One thing that I know is a huge question mark in the community right now is Shanks’s true
role in the story.
I have some ideas that might twist your brain so I’m gonna give you until the time this
sentence ends to click, this, video, right, here.
