Summary
Dr. Vegapunk revealed that the One Piece world will sink into the ocean due to rising sea levels. The Ancient Weapon Uranus could potentially be used to destroy the Kingdom of Lulusia and could change history. The World Government fears rebellion, with Uranus potentially being used to maintain their rule.
The world of A piece boasts truly unique terrain, with islands not only dotting the ocean's surface but also floating in the sky and hidden beneath the waves. This diverse landscape is home to many races, from the Mermen who live in the sea to the Weasels who inhabit Zou, a living land. Despite this rich world-building, the origins of the series' world and how it got to its current state remain a tantalizing mystery to fans. Now, the latest chapter of One Piece finally gives fans a glimpse of why the One Piece world is the way it is.
In chapter #1113, “Stalemate”, Dr. Vegapunk finally delivers his message with a shocking revelation stating that the world of One Piece will sink into the ocean in the future. However, this reveal doesn't come as a complete surprise, as rising water levels have been observed in various areas of the One Piece world. In chapter #1089, the catastrophic destruction of the Lulusia Kingdom resulted in a global earthquake. One of the significant consequences of this devastation was a staggering one meter rise in sea levels.
This led to many islands being flooded, forcing people to leave their homes. While this is a disaster, Vegapunk's statement in the latest chapter suggests that it's just an example of what's to come. Vegapunk's statement, along with the catastrophic events witnessed in Lulusia, suggests a deeper connection to the existence of mysterious Ancient Weapons in the world of One Piece. The weapon's activation or engagement capabilities may hold the key to understanding not only the current state of the world but also its origins.
The ancient weapon, Uranus, explains the world of One Piece
The Imu weapon used on Lulusia was most likely Uranus powered by the motherfire
The sea level rose one meter because Lulusia was wiped off the map. Although not revealed, the ability to destroy an entire island implies the use of an ancient weapon. Since Uranus is likely owned by the government, it makes sense for Imu to use it to destroy Lulusia. However, evidence scattered throughout One Piece suggests that the use of Uranus to wipe out Lulusia may not have been an isolated incident, hinting at its wider historical use.
it is likely that the Imu or their allies deployed Uranus to stop the Ancient Kingdom and establish a World Government, reshaping history in their favor
After Lulusia was supposedly destroyed by Uranus, it created a hole in the sea reminiscent of the events shown in the Enies Lobby arc. This revelation confirms the historical use of Uranus, possibly in One Piece's mysterious Void Century that shaped the current world. For all fans know, it's possible that the Imu or their allies deployed Uranus to stop the Ancient Kingdom and establish a World Government, reshaping history in their favor. Surname.
Why do Imu and the five elders intend to sink the world?
The actions of the Straw Hats made the Government afraid because they realized the risk of a new rebellion
The appearance of Nika, the Sun God in Wano, along with the small rebellion in Reverie, may have caused Imu and the Five Elders to fear the possibility of rebellion. They may seek to purify the world to maintain their dominance, as hinted in chapter #908 of One Piece. Uranus, the Ancient Weapon, may have played a pivotal role in quelling rebellions, as it is believed to have been involved in destroying the Kingdom of Lulusia.
Ongoing events show that the World Government is seeking a transformative change where they stand at the pinnacle of power, once again shaping the world according to their desires. This recalls a historical event in the Void Century, where the World Government may have won, reshaping history in their favor. As the story progresses, it makes sense A piece will delve deeper into this story, possibly culminating in the final arc where Luffy leads a rebellion akin to Joyboy's defiance in the Void Century.
