One Piece has many hints, and one of its charms is to consider them. In the world of One Piece, there are weapons called ancient weapons that are said to have the power to destroy three worlds. So, this time, we will introduce what we know about the ancient weapons in One Piece as of June 2019, as well as the existence of ancient weapons that we do not know yet and what will happen in the future.
What are ancient weapons?
The ancient weapons in One Piece are weapons that have existed since ancient times and are said to have the power to blow up an island with one blow. In reality, they are not easy to use and may be human abilities, but in any case, they are powerful depending on how they are used. There are said to be three ancient weapons in total, and their existence is recorded in the "Poneglyphs". The names of the ancient weapons have already been revealed: Pluto, Poseidon, and Uranus. All three of these ancient weapons are named after gods in mythology, and are said to be related in some way. Let's introduce each ancient weapon.
Ancient Weapon Pluto
The ancient weapon Pluto was the first to be mentioned. It was something that former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile, had been searching for by creating a dark organization called Baroque Works in order to obtain its power, and it is said to be able to blow up an island with one blow. It is known for certain that this ancient weapon, Pluto, is an artificial object, and the blueprints exist. The blueprints for Pluto were in the possession of Tom the fishman, who was also Franky's former mentor. Iceberg later protected it from the World Government, but Franky incinerated it. The location of Pluto is of course recorded in the "main text of history (poneglyph)," and Crocodile believes it is somewhere in Alabasta. The name Pluto comes from Pluto, the god of mineral resources in Greek mythology, and it is believed to be hidden underground.
Ancient Weapon Poseidon
The next ancient weapon to be introduced is Poseidon. The location of the ancient weapon Poseidon is written in the "main text of history (poneglyph)" of Sky Island, which is at the bottom of the sea, on Fishman Island. Poseidon is also the name of the king of the deep sea, so it has abilities related to the sea. There was actually an ancient weapon Poseidon, but it was a mermaid, not a weapon. Also, when I say mermaid, I don't mean an ordinary mermaid, but Princess Shirahoshi, the beloved daughter of King Neptune, the king of Fishman Island, who has the power of the ancient weapon Poseidon. The ancient weapon Poseidon refers to the ability to freely communicate with and control sea kings. Princess Shirahoshi is a large mermaid similar to King Neptune, characterized by long pink hair and large eyes. She is very timid and a crybaby, but also kind-hearted. She was once targeted by Vanderdecken and imprisoned underground. Therefore, she knows nothing about the outside world and is naive.
Ancient Weapon Uranus
The last ancient weapon I will introduce is Uranus. As of June 2019, Uranus is a being by name, and it is unclear what kind of weapon it is. Uranus is said to be inspired by Uranus, the god of the sky in ancient Greek mythology. Since Pluto was underground and Poseidon was in the deep sea, it is believed that Uranus is in the sky, that is, on Sky Island. This has been corroborated by various websites, and there is also a depiction in the side story on the front page of One Piece that is thought to be related to Uranus. This is "Enel's Great Space Mission," which depicts Enel's life afterwards. In this side story, Enel leaves Sky Island and heads to the moon. There is also a depiction of him interacting with the natives living on the moon and finding a mural.
Considerations on the ancient weapon Uranus
So far, we have introduced the ancient weapons that appear in One Piece. However, there are still some parts that we do not know, and many hints have been laid out. So, this time, we will introduce several theories about the true identity of the last ancient weapon, Uranus, which is deeply involved in the history of One Piece. Of course, we do not know at this point whether these are true, but there are many that are highly credible, so please refer to them.
Is Uranus really the moon?
Earlier, I mentioned that the side story depicting Enel's future may be related to the ancient weapon Uranus. At that time, he goes to the moon, but it is also possible that the moon itself is the ancient weapon Uranus. The moon has naturally existed since ancient times, and while it illuminates the earth, it has the power to destroy the earth if it falls. Also, we know that the natives live on the moon and have some information about it. Therefore, it is possible that the moon itself has some special power.
Is Uranus Zunesha!?
Zunesha is a very huge elephant that slowly moves through the seas of the New World. The Mink tribe lives on Zunesha's back. Since it is such a large elephant, we know that it has been alive since ancient times. In addition, it has the power to destroy a battleship with one blow, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is an ancient weapon. Furthermore, Zunesha can only be controlled by certain people. In the story, Luffy and Momonosuke hear Zunesha's voice. And since Momonosuke was able to give orders to Zunesha afterwards, it may be that Momonosuke is a special person who can control the ancient weapon Uranus.
