In the vast universe of One Piece , there's one mystery that has intrigued fans for decades: the Will of D . Since the very first episodes of the anime and manga, characters like Monkey D. Luffy , Gol D. Roger , and Trafalgar D. Water Law have carried this enigmatic "D" in their name. But what does it really mean? In this article, we explore the clues left by Eiichiro Oda and the most popular theories about the meaning of this legacy.
The origin of the mystery of the "D"
The first significant mention of the Will of D appears in the story when Doctor Kureha reveals the Pirate King's true name, Gol D. Roger, instead of "Gold Roger." Since then, the series has dropped hints about the significance of this letter, associating it with individuals of great determination and extraordinary destiny.
Characters with the "D" and their role in the story
To date, several key characters have carried this initial in their name, each with a significant destiny or purpose in the plot of One Piece:
- Monkey D. Luffy: The protagonist and future King of the Pirates.
- Gol D. Roger: The only pirate who has managed to conquer One Piece.
- Trafalgar D. Water Law: An ally of Luffy with a mysterious past.
- Portgas D. Ace: Luffy's adoptive brother and son of Gol D. Roger.
- Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard): A villain who challenges the destiny of the D.
- Jaguar D. Saul: A giant who helped Nico Robin in her childhood.
What's most intriguing is that all of these characters seem to share a connection to the concept of "heirs of the will," as if they were part of an ancient prophecy within the world of One Piece.
The most popular theories about D's Will
Over the years, fans have formulated various theories about the "D." Some of the most popular include:
- Heirs to an ancient lineage: Bearers of the "D" are believed to be descendants of a lost civilization that challenged the World Government.

- The Will for Freedom: All characters with the "D" have shown a strong desire for freedom, opposing tyranny and fighting for their dreams.
The relationship with the Void Century and One Piece
Another key aspect of the mystery is its possible connection to the Void Century , a period in history forbidden by the World Government. It has been speculated that the bearers of the "D" could be related to the ancient civilization that fought against the Government during that lost time.
