Albanese

Sum Ting Wong

So the only 2 people with devil fruits fall ill as we are reaching the last island?, and shanks purposely does not keep any devil fruit user in his crew... Coincidence??, i think not!!!

Bootyman555

The one piece is real!!! I think I can say pretty confidently there are people in this community who have been waiting for this episode since the very beginning, wayyy back three 3 ago when you first started. Can you believe this all started with a boy in a barrel? Also I went back and checked and ep 1 of the LA was posted on yt almost exactly 3 years ago today, on September 21, 2023

King Cy

One PEAKKKKKK

Matt

Valid to wait on posting an extra one lol! I think you saw why we all REALLY wanted to watch the reaction for this one

King Tut

Great reaction and if you go back to when Sengoku was talking about the pirate group rocks it was mention that Captain John was part of the crew, I don't know if that changes anything but he wasn't just a random pirate

Sum Ting Wong

one more thing, oden wrote that after reaching the island, they got all the answer, like what is the D clan, void century, ancient weapons... etc, also that wano was once connected to the world before, so this is also something that is Learnt on top of the treasure or is the treasure

Artemis

If you had the eng subs turned on when you were watching the live action. The entire thing would have been spoiled. Luckily you caught only that this was the phonetics of the word laftel, as opposed to the actual context of the name "laugh tale". You dodged a massive bullet there.

Artemis

(rafuteru), which was rendered "Raftel" by localizers, was obscured in meaning for 20 years, due to it being written entirely in katakana as ラフテル (Ra-fu-te-ru). Because Japanese phonetics blend the English "L" and "R" sounds, and vowel endings are attached to consonants, the English words "Laugh Tale" are pronounced exactly as Ra-fu-te-ru by a native Japanese speaker. The connotation of the name of an island, it self was never given by oda, so no one really knew what Oda was trying to imply abroad. Even though the Americanized dub tried to trivialize this as something we have always known. THIS IS THE WAY you were meant to experience it.

Rising Kar

Heres my thought why would you laugh in front of the One Piece we know roger could hear the voice of all things but I think when they got there everyone could hear it and I think they heard a story of potential doom about their current time but also heard hope and that hope or requirement being ridiculous is what made them laugh. Joyboy mustve have done something during the void century that affects the current time line

Michael Clark

I agree with you about the SBS. I feel like Oda doesn’t answer honestly because of how fans will react

Weiyi Zhao

he laugh😭🥹😂😂😂

Sceeze 1

One of the best... Wow

Hiren Patel

Missed a crazy line 25:07 in this video O:

Sammy

One of the most iconic moments in the series. One of the best page turns into one of the most legendary singular panels. And the anime nailed it. Bringing back an updated version of Memories, which you are correct is ED 1, is just the icing on the cake. For some added meta confusion we have no idea if Laugh Tale was supposed to be a reveal or not. The Katakana reads as Rafuteru, and Oda obviously never went on record with a Romanization until this point. However, the Live Action uses Laugh Tale instead of Raftel making it seem like it isn't supposed to be a reveal. Also the romanization of Laugh Tale was used in a movie before it ever even happened in the manga, which makes it really seem like it wasn't supposed to be a reveal, as it spoiled us! But at the same time this moment is still absolutely a reveal for Japanese readers as well as English. It's just left the fanbase largely confused. Luckily, the majority continue to use Raftel to avoid spoiling this reveal, for which I am glad.

Sammy

There's evidence against it having always meant to be a reveal. Namely that a certain movie used Laugh Tale before it ever appeared in the manga, spoiling it for manga readers in Japan and abroad. As well as Oda's involvement in the LA and the LA using it form the jump. Yet at the same time it does feel like it's supposed to be a reveal here. It's perplexing, and there's never been a comment on it.

ideo

i cried so much from excitement when Roger laughed with the ED playing. Literally my favorite scene of all fiction..

Martin Hagen

WE MADE IT!! I think Laugh Tale comes not only from the treassure but everything we find there combined. The truth about the void century, the Will of D, the ancient weapons AND the One Piece are all the elements which makes it a funny story. As for if Oda ever changed what it could be because he was afraid to let people down, or rise to people's expectations, he said in a recent interview in 2022: "I'm on my 11th editor now, but I make it a point to tell every successive editor the entire story from beginning to end. Though it's become a bit of a pain lately, so I've been breaking it up into parts haha. Although some of the particulars change from time to time, the goal remains the same. There have been some outrageous plot twists during the serialization, but the flow of the story has been so rock solid that past editors are surprised. They ask me: “Are you sure you can just do that?”, but then they don't remember anyway, hahaha." Also from 2019: "One Piece is not 'the bonds of the Straw Hats.' I hate that kind of thing. When I was a kid, I was not happy with the ending of 'The Wizard of Oz'—that the adventure itself is the treasure. That story was unacceptable. Luffy has had a great journey, so give him a proper treasure!"

FreshFire

The One Piece is a one piece banana hammock, trust.

Sanji Joestar

You know it's a good episode when the INTRO is long♥️

Daemedeor

We have been discussing the one piece for decades at this point but it went into overdrive, we don’t know too much more than what this episode reveals even still yet. The Raftel / laugh tale reveal was really blowing a lot of people’s mind though. But even more so, there was lots of places that started revealing / fixing all of the Raftel stuff after. Even season 2 of the live action technically spoiled it. But it’s been argued about whether it’s a spoiler or not because you could probably infer it but yea. And the fun thing is, despite this being a peak, we continue to climb. There’s a lot more journey to be had. But I do think this is emblematic why one piece continues to be heralded as one of the best stories ever written.

Artemis

I know alot of people interpret this as Laughing because its funny or hilarious or its just some joke but there is also the possibility that Laughing so hysterically that you start forming tears is because its something so unbailable that what ever the discovery is, it completely shatters your perception of it. In a sense it could be some form of technology that is hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of the current one piece world. Which is why Roger said "its a funny story" because pirates perception of "treasure" would be jewels, gold, silver lining there pockets, etc. They would have no idea how to process the information. So Gol D. Roger upon his execution, made up a story about "treasure" that exists in the world which started the great pirate age, but the real identity of one piece is something far different on a much larger scale that can reshape or change the course of history and the world. Do you think Roger would ever openly reveal the true nature of the One Piece to the world? Absolutely not. Because just like the cynics in Mock Town, the world wasn't ready for the truth and they would have simply reduced his greatest discovery to a silly bedtime story, laughing it away as a meaningless myth. So anyways thats my interpretation and prediction of why roger laughed.

lionstooth

Ok we're at that point i can kinda say what my theory is without spoiling anything really. Maybe im taking the funny aspect too literal but i think the one piece is a reference to Piero Manzoni’s "Socle du Monde". It's basically a Giant cube obelisk(sound familiar?) that says "Base of the world" but it's upside down. Total meme theory but i mean Whitebeard said, "this world will turn upside down when someone finds that treasure" Most importantly Roger said essentially "I left everything the world has to offer in that place". So i imagine its just a giant Poneglyph that just says "The world" upside down or something to the same effect. "Joy Boys greatest treasure" or something.

Artemis

The one piece is binke's Sake

Artemis

This is also confirmation that Joyboy was the original possessor of one piece, not Gol D. Roger. he just found what he left behind. Now that is not to say that the beginning of the story is contradicted when Roger says "I left everything I have in one place". He probably procured many items along his journey as well and left them there for who ever finds laugh tale again. But the actual ancient treasure it self was joyboys.

millecamps

the reveal that "raftel" is actually named "laugh tale" is one of my favorite reveal in all animanga, and i am so happy you never got spoiled on it, so many reactor got spoiled on it by people calling it laugh tale in the comment without realizing that they just got spoiled and that it's not a mistranlation like "alabasta" "arabasta"

Albanese

Personally I also hope the treasure is something silly. And I personally believe that something silly or funny can be, in the right context, "wealth, fame and power"

millecamps

my personal theory is that the one piece is litterally "one piece" like the story of luffy, but there it's the story of joyboy and that's why they laughed and why rger said "joyboy, i wish i lived in the same era as you", just like we laugh watching "one piece" the story of luffy which explain why it's called "laugh tale"

Sanji Joestar

Going to deliver Binks' Sake! 'Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo' Let's all sing it with a Don! A song of the waves 'DON to icchou utao, unaba no uta' Doesn't matter who you are, Someday you'll just be bones 'Douse dare demo itsuka wa hone yo' A Never-Ending, Never-disappoointing, laughing tale! 'Hatenashi, atenashi, waraibanashi' ❤️

Sanji Joestar

My take has always been WHAT the One Piece IS doesn't matter truly. It'll hold importance for sure but I think back to Orange Town and East Blue as a whole, the prologue. A treasure changes definition depending on who you ask. To Buggy it's gold To Luffy it's his hat To Chouchou it's his pet shop To Nami it's her village To Zeff his restaurant and Sanji To Usopp his village To Zoro his sword/memento of Kuina Etc

Fabulous

i feel like Carson has admiration for Oda as a writer

beannie

he laughed.

Sanji Joestar

'' He Laughed '' Hands down one of the greatest page turn, greatest panels, greatest moments in all of One Piece The pure joy that radiates from Roger is heartwarmingly contagious ♥️

Artemis

yeah people that say its a pair of panties for brook or some ridiculous 'inside joke' is just truly undermining what oda has built for 25+ years of history. That would be the largest betrayal to the fandom that I can think of so i really don't align with the idea that One piece is just some silly nonsense throw away, haha moment. If that were the case, then why did roger tell the world about a treasure. If it was a simple joke he would have just let it die. He would not start the great pirate age. He did that because he lied about it being "treasure" or it is a treasure just not in the way citizens of the world think of treasure, because the real identity of it would have just caused everyone to laugh it up like some myth. I think honestly mock town is kind of a reflection of one piece in a way like the legend of mont blank noland the liar and the golden city of shandora. After all a primitive pirate society can't possible comprehend something that supersedes there reality.

Sanji Joestar

To be fair, that movie revealed it like only a few months before this chapter dropped(August 2019-January 2020). It's not like it happened years before that. By the time some watched it we were already here. I think it's one of those things where it's meant to be okay to reveal it now whether through the movie or this flashback. It's infinitely better it was through this flashback tho.

Dreamknight942

“At that moment Roger was laughing” with the OST full body chills

Zach Reyes

Credit crew caught in the wild??

King Tut

Lol you found me bro, I got to get my one piece fix some way

Sanji Joestar

Thankfully the comments also didn't dig too much into that whole conversation either.

Allain Gumapon

This is why I think that the One Piece is only significant in symbolism and context and not in reality. Like Luffy's hat is his treasure even though it literally is just a straw hat, nothing special to anyone but those who have interacted with it and know of its history and context. I have zero qualms with the One Piece being something literally insignificant but I bet within the context of the history of One Piece, it's big. If anything, having the One Piece be something stupid makes sense considering it's suppose to be something funny. I personally think it's just a poneglyph that tells the story of the 100year void and it was just a stupid reason that cascaded into something horrific.

2026-09-30 03:00 I remember hearing this theory so much I just assumed it made sense but after watching it again, it doesn't at all. Toki got sick before they went to wano and zou. Roger had no clue that Buggy would get sick so he didn't plan on having a crew without devil fruit users and if he found out after Buggy left I doubt they would have told Shanks. Doesn't really fit Oda's story rewriting to not give any hints besides two people getting sick but using the same plot devices to get two different characters to leave doesn't fit him either.

Mellorine

This episode unites so many theory videos, treasure is there certainly, it seems that everyone finds what they look for to some degree, but One Piece itself must be something goofy and my all-time favorite theory is that One Piece is an Afro and Laugh Tale is the ancient city of the old kingdom that Clover mentions, so it must be fun to explore, I don't want us to just skip the island in one episode, I want Luffy to explore it.

Sanji Joestar

The most credence we can give it is Usopp's 'I'll Get Sick If I Step On This Island' thing. But even then it doesn't sound right taking in count when Toki got sick etc. And the idea that Shanks chooses to not have Df eaters on board is also not anywhere in the story really.

I LOVE JOJO

To be honest, the fact that both Buggy and Toki fell ill and didn't make it to that island was ultimately more for the sake of the plot—so that Buggy, Shanks, and Momo wouldn't find out what One Piece is.

Lonestar

I agree with the idea that if the One piece is like a weapon or technology or even a power it would be very disappointing. Something that can eventually be created if humanity just progressed enough they would be able to recreate it. I have a idea of what it is but cant say my theory due to still having some slight spoilers. even as someone who just started watching OP for about 3 years when that ed starting playing with the sight of Roger and his crew laughing i couldn't help but tearing up. This is when i truly started to feel that we are getting close to the end.

Kevin Senior

There was a youtuber that figured out the word play on reverse mountain when it was introduced by using how japanese pronounce english words, mamadrawk

Oussama Essamadi

Episode 968, coinciding with chapter 967 is my top two favorite episode of One Piece, released on January 4, 2020, however I remember reading the scans/leaks before the new year and catching myself shedding a tear. Man, such nostalgia times already and what a wonderful love story to the fan, that last 4 minutes was. He laughed, we cried.

Oussama Essamadi

I feel like it coincidentally ended up being played in the best light, sounding an in-verse World Gov. propaganda to try to distract and make people forget about what Roger really found. Although, it wouldn’t make sense for Crokus to tell the Straw Hats a purposefully misspelled name.

Mister Kap

I so bad want it to be like the actual manga of One Piece, I had seen that theory years ago and it stuck with me ever since. 'Its such a funny story', as if commenting on the story we are currently reading/watching, which is indeed a funny story. That feels like an idea that Oda could have thought as the premise of the story, 'what if I wrote a story where they search for a treasure, and the treasure is just the story of them searching for the treasure'.

David

This single moment for me defines one piece, not action and not sadness, but joy. This man just knows how to create magical feelings in his art.

Desdinova

World Peace does make sense because Roger's goal theybkept secret caused Whitebeard to called it a child's dream. It seems to elude to King of Pirates but I dont think they would have kept it a secret. It fits Roger wanting to be in Joy Boy's Era since they both had simular dreams. Not sure how they learned all the secrets of the world, I got theories but Spoilers to why I think this fits.

myridiann

its such a funny story

JoshVPlays

I remember when I first read this chapter. Even watching it, and every reaction I’ve watched subsequently. I get a little misty eyed. It’s weird but for me this moment signifies the end is on the horizon. I’m excited for it, but a part of me is still sad it’s within reach. Also for everyone who didn’t make it to this point. This one’s for y’all!

Ty

I agree with you. Oda kind of had to write them out otherwise we would have known what the one piece is (buggy would not keep his mouth shut)

Ty

I agree with you. I feel like there will be some lore by finding the one piece but the actual treasure will be something mundane.

SomeoneElse

It's probably worth mentioning/remembering that piracy wasn't as big of a deal back during Roger's time. The pirate era boom was largely caused by his dying speech, so it probably was easier to just go and grab the poneglyphs. They're much more contended for now.

SomeoneElse

I wanna give my theories for what the One Piece is so badly but it's too soon 😂

SomeoneElse

I really like the wordplay that Oda uses. Like it's not just wordplay, I think it's a very natural telephone game phenomenon. As a story is spread around, details change or aren't stated correctly, including names and pronunciations... We heard the name Raftel a long time ago. I think Crocus said it. You could argue he did say Laugh Tale, it was just not said clearly and the translation interpreted it incorrectly in a canonical way. I'm just yapping 100%

SomeoneElse

I'm glad you guys picked up on ED1 being used. Honestly I don't think any other reactor picked up on that from what I can remember. So that was nice. Very well done :D

Zoodinger

To me it looks like it's something they can't use themselves. Maybe JoyBoy is the one supposed to find it. And my theory is that the straw hat is somehow required, which is why Buggy getting sick and Shanks staying behind to help him prevented them from using it. And part of why the whole thing was funny.

myridiann

same. i feel like i cant tell my theory yet 😂

Alma

LAUGH TALE TRUE NAME REVEAL

LaDarius

I don't think the One Piece will be underwhelming. Of course there's going to be people who won't like it, there always will be. Be whatever the One Piece is I think I'll be satisfied, because the show has never really been about finding the One Piece (Well it is) but it's really about the adventure.

Alma

When they hit you with the first ED you know it's peak

Gogul Prasad

The one piece were the all the funny tales we had while we travelled through our lives

Skele

You know what I think???...... To be continued.

klairvoyage

I don't think most people point to that SBS (or interview or whatever it was) cause they want to reaffirm their personal belief, that it will be some grand weapon or artifact, but as more of an incentive for y'all to share what you think the silly thing Joyboy/Oda left behind on that island (beyond the thematic elements it will likely represent) may be, since the Roger Pirates were looking at 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 here at the end of the day (unless it's literally just a cardboard cutout of joyboy & a tone dial playing "it's just a prank bro" on repeat) Most community theories, especially post-968, lean toward some pretty absurd items and/or concepts

Javier

My bet is that the One Piece is a spaceship, and Roger's dream was to continue his adventure in space,. That's why they laughed, and why Roger said he wished he had lived in the same era as Joy Boy. The D. Clan are aliens from outer space.

DaniP

Yh its hilarious Rogers reaction, but that we also know it provides info.My theory at this time, and even now - is that it's a comic book or cartoon or something going through the ancient history, on like a 1970s cube TV or something, but the story is so ridiculous, and so ridiculously depicted, that you can't help but laugh. Considering oda said he started one piece due to a vikings/pirate cartoon , idk

DaniP

don't really think its a betrayal - would be MORE of a betrayal if we see the treasure and there's nothing funny about it. The treasure has to be effective in a way to contibute to the "war" whitebeard spoke of, and enough to make the WG scared, but ridiculous enough to make people laugh, think, a reimagining of the history of WW1/WW2, but everyone finds out it all started because of something so so ridiculous it defies reason and becomes comical. Just because its funny, doesn't mean its useless bro

DaniP

best response, i mean literally thats been a theme from the start. To robin, the treasure is knowledge, to nami, it would be gold, or perhaps, something to help with drawing the world, to franky - adam wood is a treasure, but if you give any of these to luffy, he'll ask for meat.

ignorantWeed

Whitebeard said that someone will found the One Piece and uncover the world's hidden history and turn the entire global order upside down. It doesnt make sense if its only a silly joke and nothing else and i wouldnt like it. I understand your perspective tough

myridiann

also when we were in post sabaody arc , we saw how roger recruit rayleigh and said "wanna turn the world upside down with me?" or something like that

Domi No

I think your discussion about what the one piece is led a little astray. To me it seems it is clearly portrayed here that there are 2 different things at the last island: Firstly: "How could leave this stupendious treasure joyboy?" the actual thing or treasure -> not funny but stupendious And secondly: "it's such a funny story" -> the knowledge and the story about everything that happened in the void century, that's what they are laughing about. I think you were mixing that together and only considering the treasure to be funny. What is also super weird is that they laughed when they heard that story, considering the state of the world one would imagine that the whole void century story is super tragic and everything went horrible wrong, but not be funny.

Domi No

I don't know why people mix this up so much, to me the episode clearly portrays 2 things that are there at the last island: First: "How could you leave this stupendious treasure joyboy" -> clearly some form of thing or actual "treasure" that is not funny but stupendious And secondly: "It's such a funny story..." The knowledge and story about the void century and what happened with joyboy -> funny (weirdly because considering the state of the world and everything one would suspect the story to be tragic and horrific)

Lovis999

Oda already told, that the One Piece wont be such a thing as the simple world piece or something like that

Albanese

Super cool discussion sparked from one of the best episodes

Stick Haul

he just did the same kind of perplexing “is this a reveal or just a reveal for english speakers” reveal in this week’s chapter 1194 lol

Desdinova

In Japanese the word Roger used is better translated as "Unbelievable" which doesn't mean it is physical or worth anything. The treasure could be funny, but you are right that he said that Joy Boys story was a Laugh Tale, so the treasure isn't necessarily funny.

Veritas

He can lie

Artemis

Its not that it wasn't fully revealed years before, but rather there was no translated name for an island back then in oda's scripts so localizers had to name it something but since it was written in Katakana and not Hiragana, it had no actual name (noun). He withheld the official English Romanization until One Piece: Stampede and Chapter 967. The idea that oda knew all along is probably accurate considering laugh tale is tied directly to 'one piece' and he has already claimed many times that he is fully aware of the ending of the story and that even as a child he knew what one piece was. Of course we can never 100% verify this but he kept it as a 20 year long mystery which is pretty awesome.

Lovis999

He sure lies to his fans and disappoints them with the biggest mystery. Fans who waited years to finish the series XD

Michael DeArmas

I personally would not be underwhelmed if the One Piece = One Peace. Obviously it would depend somewhat on how it's executed, but I've always liked the idea that in one way or another finding the One Piece will lead to peace in the One Piece.

Artemis

You know this is a monumental historic moment in the series, when this post has 96 comments. LOL All of us want to know about "One Piece".

PeachBrune

I often just think the one piece is what would make luffy laugh like you said. The meaning behind it certainly wont be the nature or use of the “object” itself but the way its viewed or believed in if it is something physical. I also think it could still very much be the friends made along the way lol, mangakas lie and misdirect all the time but who knows.

Cheddah Slammer

Ive watched lots of reactions to One Piece. The issue is people have different thoughts on what they want it to be. Ive see people say that if it isn't a treasure and its the friends you made along the way that would be lame, and then Ive seen others say that if its just a big treasure it would be lame. So everyone has their own personal idea on what they want it to be.
