One Piece

Over the years Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has introduced many mysteries in the series that are yet unanswered and fans have been trying to solve these mysteries for a long time. These mysteries can range from the origin of Devil Fruits to the secrets of Joy Boy. Among those mysteries, one of the biggest is of the Void Century.

The World Government forbids the study of the Void Century, a century-long absence in historical accounts and archaeological findings. It is stated that learning about the events of this era makes one aware of the truth about the past of the world because they are so significant and necessary for the conclusion of the story. However, a theory explains that the Void Century reveals the reality of the World Government and how they are from a different planet.

The One Piece Moon Theory

According to a theory put out on Quora by Atrik Das, the ancient civilization that Robin found in Shandora in the previous chapters was a civilization that lived on the moon and later came down from the moon to the Earth. The theory also states that these people were called Mooninites and they were technologically more advanced than Earth.

The moon people were however driven out of their homeland thousands of years ago by space pirates because of their great wealth and technological advantages. Nonetheless, a few of them and the Poneglyphs that preserved their past withstood the assault. They relocated to Earth and established a settlement here but they were eventually killed by the space pirates that pursued them.

The Several Moons in One Piece

The Space Pirates almost destroyed every one of those who came down from the moon to take control over their technology and they did this for almost one hundred years. The Void Century was the term later coined to describe this time frame and was removed from history. However, the theory also proves that the World Government is not from Earth.

The Void Century Reveals The Truth About The World Government

As previously stated, the theory explains how space pirates were responsible for forcing the Mooninites away from the moon and onto Earth. It further claims that the Space Pirates overthrew the world government and carried out a vast genocide in which they methodically exterminated every Mooninite on Earth.

The Moon Civilization

If the world had known about the genocide, it would have led to chaotic circumstances since it was so heinous and horrible. That’s why it’s forbidden to conduct studies on the void century or the Poneglyphs, which are created using Mooninite technology, as it may expose the people to the reality of the World Government.

This would explain why Eiichiro Oda introduced the civilization at the beginning of the series and then left the significant clues concerning a long-lost lunar civilization undiscovered or untouched for such a long time. It can be said that he might reveal all of it and connect it to the hint.
