The Will of D. has remained one of the greatest enigmas in One Piece. The true meaning behind this mysterious initial has been teased throughout the series, yet Eiichiro Oda has kept its significance hidden. However, One Piece Chapter 1138 finally sheds light on their history through the Harley Texts—an ancient script discovered in Elbaf that may hold the key to unraveling the Will of D. and the role of Imu in shaping the world’s past.
The Harley Texts: An Ancient Chronicle That Challenges Everything
In the latest chapter, Robin and Vegapunk’s Punk Records discover the Harley Texts, an ancient manuscript written in poetic form. These texts outline the world’s evolution and the existence of the Three Worlds, each tied to different deities—the Sun God, Earth God, Sea God, and Forest God. Many fans believe these stories hold hidden references to the D. Clan and their true purpose, a purpose that the World Government desperately seeks to erase.
A particularly striking passage refers to “the people of the half-moon,” which scholars believe may allude to the D. Clan. The theory suggests that the half-moon shape resembles the letter ‘D’, symbolizing the clan’s fragmented presence across history. This would explain why individuals like Monkey D. Luffy, Gol D. Roger, and Trafalgar D. Water Law have been at the center of world-changing events. It also raises questions about Imu’s deep-rooted fear of them and their connection to the lost history of the world.
If the Harley Texts are accurate, they fundamentally challenge the established narrative of the World Government. It suggests that the Ancient Kingdom, which was destroyed during the Void Century, may have been directly linked to the D. Clan’s ancestors—posing a direct threat to the rulers of today.
Breaking Down the Three Worlds Theory: A Cyclical War?
The Harley Texts divide the world’s history into three great eras, referred to as the Three Worlds:
The First World
The Second World
The Third World
Ruled by the Earth God, where mankind lived in peace until greed took over. The Sun God arose in response to prayers for salvation, sparking conflicts that led to death and darkness.
Introduces the Forest God, who attempts to restore balance. This era tells of the half-moon people dreaming, suggesting they played a role in resisting oppression. It ends with mankind overthrowing the Sun God and attempting to rule as gods, invoking the Sea God’s wrath. This is believed to be when Imu’s predecessors took control, marking the beginning of a tyrannical rule.
A chaotic age described as a time of “emptiness,” where those who remain “remember a promised day and follow the voice of the half-moon.” The Sun God is depicted as dancing and laughing, leading the world to destruction and rebirth—a prophecy eerily similar to Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation and perhaps the very event that Imu fears most.
This poetic depiction hints at a cycle of history—where the D. Clan may be destined to challenge authority and bring about a new era. If true, this aligns with previous implications that those carrying the ‘D’ are fated to oppose the World Government and its rulers.
Shamrock Figarland & Shanks’ Hidden Lineage: A Celestial Conspiracy?
Chapter 1138 also delivers a shocking revelation regarding Shanks. The leader of the Holy Knights, Shamrock Figarland, claims to be Shanks’ twin brother, both of whom were separated during the God Valley Incident.
While Shanks chose the life of a pirate and rejected his noble lineage, Shamrock ascended in power as a Celestial Dragon, standing as a stark contrast to his brother. This revelation suggests that Shanks may be more connected to the D. Clan than previously thought. If he was originally part of the D. Clan, why was he adopted into the Figarland family? Could his presence in Luffy’s life serve a larger purpose in the grand battle against the rulers of the world?
If Shanks truly has ties to the D. Clan, it could explain his intense interest in Luffy, his meeting with the Five Elders, and his potential role in the final war. The contrast between Shanks and Shamrock may set up a pivotal clash between two brothers—one embracing freedom and the other enforcing oppression.

Implications for the Final War: A New Dawn?
The revelations in Chapter 1138 add weight to the theory that the D. Clan are the remnants of the Ancient Kingdom, the civilization that the World Government sought to erase from history. If the Harley Texts are indeed a historical account rather than mere mythology, then Luffy’s actions as Nika, the Sun God, could be fulfilling a prophecy from thousands of years ago.
This would explain why the rulers of the world fear the return of the D. Clan, as they may hold the key to restoring the world to its original state. Could the “promised day” referenced in the Third World be the moment Luffy leads the One Piece final war against the Celestial Dragons?
Additionally, the parallels between the past rulers and current players suggest that history may be repeating itself, with Luffy unknowingly playing the role of the Sun God from the Second World. If so, his battle against Imu could be the final cycle that truly resets the world.
Final Thoughts: The Will of D. Unraveled?
Chapter 1138 deepens the lore of One Piece in ways that fans have been anticipating for years. The Harley Texts, the Three Worlds, and Shanks’ family origins all tie into a grand narrative that may soon reach its climax. With the battle in Elbaf intensifying, these discoveries could change everything we thought we knew about the world of One Piece.
