"That which cannot be stopped:

Inherited will, a man's dream, and the flow of time. As long as man continues to seek out the answer to freedom, these things shall never be stopped.."-Gol d. Roger

It's been since I've done a theory but recently I had a light bulb moment while watching pirates of the caribbean on stranger tides :bulb: :bulb: :bulb:

So basically for the people who have seen the movie. The movie is about jack sparrow and his journey with black beard to the fountain of youth. On the way they clash with England and Spain and fight mermaids and zombies. In order to use the fountain of youth they require two chalices and a mermaids tear.

The fountain of youth is a legendary water source that is said to grant eternal life and can cure sickness and disease. Legends of the fountain have sprung up all over the world but the most popular fountain of youth location is in Florida. Legends say that Pounce de leon was searching for the fountain on his last voyage to the NEW WORLD. On this last voyage pounce was said to have died due to a poison injury to the knee or thigh.

Now to the theory. I believe that the fountain of youth is the one piece treasure.

The pirate Gol. D Rogers has left us many clues of what his legendary treasure might be.

●First of all Rogers said that he left everything he owed in that one "place"

●Now we have to think what is it that Roger owned. He owned the pirate king title but we know that that isn't the treasure. Oda has said the treasure isn't just gold or the adventure so that ruled out.

●We know that Rogers wished to be the man with the most freedom. Just like monkey d. Luffy

●We know that the one piece Is at the end of the new world.

Now how does the fountain of youth match the legendary treasure?

The fountain of youth could have cured Rogers sickness and granted him immortality or a never ending adventure full of freedom from death. This would be Rogers ultimate treasure, a shot at a never ending dream.

More evidence could be shown when Gol. d. Rogers offered whitebeard information on the treasure. Whitebeard was sick so he could have also benefited from the treasure. In the end whitebeard might not have been interested because he wanted to grow old and die as a father for his son. All whitebeard wanted was a family not eternal life.

Now how is it that you use the fountain of youth? There's no way you could just easily drink it's waters. I believe that there is a special item needed for the fountain to work just like in the pirate's of the caribbean movie.

But where is this special item? I think someone who was on Rogers ship may know. That person is buggy the clown. Whatever it takes to access the fountain may be hidden in captain's Johns treasure stash.

Now let's talk about location.

The one piece and the fountain of youth are said to be in the same place actually.

In one piece the treasure is located at the end of the new world. The only people to reach this place was Roger and his crew.

In the real world the fountain of youth is also at the end of the ocean in the world. This place is of course florida. They say jaun pounce de Leone was looking for the fountain of youth in Florida. Many sailors died trying to make it to Florida.

Now I also believe that last island is not an island at all but a whole continent. The reason I say this is because of the fact the north America was discovered to be a continent and the fact that Rogers crew went missing on rafter for a year.

I believe Rogers crew spent a whole year exploring the continent. On the continent they found ancient civilizations namely the ancient kingdom. The ancient kingdom maybe based off of a great native American empire like the Aztec,Mayan,or Inca tribes. The kingdom even looks like an native American city.

It wouldn't be too far fetched considering the legend of El Salvador(city of gold) another American Legend was used in the series.

Also before I forget you may have noticed that the will of D. Is also present in jaun ponce de. Leone's name. I did some research and it turns out that "de." Is actually added to people's names to represent nobility and royalty. So the will of d. Could easily represent the will of kings. This would also explain the conquers haki or the conquistadors haki being given to characters with special bloodlines.

Devil fruits fit Into the lore of the fountain of youth very well also. In legends it was said that the fountain of youth had very weak water. It was said that nothing floated in its water whether it be wood or lighter objects they would all sink like stones in the water. It could be that the Devils fruits sinking side effect could also be connected to the fountain of youth. It can also be said that the reincarnation cycle of the devil fruits may be related the immortality effects of the fountain of youth.

Now how would the fountain of youth be great of a treasure when jewelry Bonney has powers that can due the same thing? I believe that the fountain of youth is not the only way to achieve immorality but it is the Most effective way. The gorosei have drank from the fountain of youth but they still need Bonney. The reason is that while the fountain grants eternal life it doesn't grant a younger body. The gorosei would need Bonney locked up forever after she makes them young so that nothing would happen to her that would result in her ability to wear off on them.

Now there is also the ope ope no mi.

The flaw with laws fruit would be that after the immortality surgery was used the fruit would be lost. After using the surgery the user would die resulting in the gorosei losing the fruit. The only other option would be having the fruit user switch your personality to a different body. The problem with this is that it would have to be done again once the new body got old.

Now doflamigo mentioned a national treasure possed by the government. I believe this treasure could either be one of the items needed to access the fountain of youth or maybe it could have been jewellery Bonney herself. The possibility of eternal life would be to shake the world.

The reason the celestial dragons don't want this fountain to be found is because they don't find commoners worthy of such a gift like eternal life. They feel that this is something that should be reserved for God's only. Of the world gained access to the fountain everyone would live forever. This was the will of the ancient kingdom they wished to make everyone immortal so that everyone could achieve their dreams without worrying about the flow of time.

The world government was against this and labeled this ancient kingdom Devils and demons. They destroyed the kingdom and erased it's existence history because of it's dangerous idea. They took it off the world maps so that no one would reach its lands and discover the fountain of youth. This is the reason why the planet looks so empty in the maps.

Rogers was the only one to reach the treasure but for some reason he didn't use the fountain. Maybe the reason is that he didn't have the items, he didn't want to, or he didn't think living forever was a good thing. He probably refused the fountain because it would ruin the adventure for him if he were immortal. When Rogers refused the eternal life he said this.

And now that's all for my theory.

Comment any questions or thoughts you may have on this theory below.
