WORLDWIDE — Anime fans are buzzing after reports claimed that Eiichiro Oda, creator of the long running manga One Piece, sealed the secret behind the series’ legendary treasure inside a container and dropped it into the ocean. The claim quickly sparked viral speculation online, with fans joking about a real world treasure hunt involving popular internet personalities such as MrBeast and IShowSpeed.
Oda seals the secret of the One Piece
According to circulating reports, the concept was revealed through a promotional video celebrating the manga reaching 600 million copies in circulation. In the video, Oda is shown writing the answer to the decades long mystery of the One Piece treasure on paper, placing it inside a small chest, sealing it within a pressure resistant capsule, and lowering it into the ocean at an undisclosed location around 650 meters below sea level.
The scene symbolizes the idea that the truth behind the One Piece treasure will remain hidden until the story reaches its conclusion.
First serialized in 1997, One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates as they search for the legendary treasure left by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. The true nature of that treasure has remained one of the most debated mysteries in anime and manga for nearly three decades.
Online jokes and speculation
The concept quickly spread across social media, where fans jokingly suggested launching a real life expedition to recover the capsule. Names such as MrBeast and IShowSpeed began trending in fan discussions due to their history of viral large scale challenges and treasure hunt style videos.
Although neither creator has announced plans to pursue such a stunt, the speculation fueled memes, fan theories, and playful attempts to analyze the promotional material for possible clues.
A symbolic moment for the final saga
Many observers view the underwater capsule idea as a symbolic promotional moment tied to the series’ ongoing Final Saga. Oda has previously confirmed that the One Piece treasure is a real reward within the story rather than a metaphor, which has only intensified curiosity among readers.
As the manga moves closer to its ending, anticipation continues to build among fans worldwide. For now, the legendary secret remains hidden beneath the ocean, waiting for the day when the story of One Piece finally reaches its long awaited conclusion.
