The phrase ‘History is written by the winners’ is a theme One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has been weaving throughout the series for some time now. Legends often fail to capture the full truth, even for the most influential figures in this world’s complex history. Oden wasn’t a foolish showman dancing through the streets of Wano; he acted out of honor and principle. Kuma wasn’t a ruthless villain who separated the Straw Hats, either; he was doing them a favor. Likewise, Davy Jones meant more than a pirate’s game in pursuit of flags and crews.

This is an interesting take on the theme of history in One Piece. It’s fascinating how Oda weaves these deeper messages into the storyline, challenging our perceptions of legends and truth. Looking forward to seeing more discussions about this!
