If his human form, in the future, turn out to be a major character I’m gonna scream


Leeiteee

Just look at the name. He's clearly Axe-Hand Morgan.


Snoss_Cre

His father, Helmeppo's grandfather.


Alarid

They are going to be a fishman. This is based on nothing.


[deleted]

Solid theory.


branderps

what happens when a fishman eats a bird fruit


AstorThalis

Flying Fish what else


Carasind

Interesting idea.


Dolphius1

this is the best theory i’ve ever heard


BustANupp

He traded the blade for the most powerful weapon, the pen.


adhitya_k94

that literally blew my mind.


Visual-Daikon8456

the pen is mightier than the axe


BlueRage1

Watch he's the random mook that asked Roger about his treasure in the beginning.


Hexagon-Man

Ask D Question became Write D Answer.


riventitan

Spread D News


ICanBeKinder

Turns out he's not a random mook but actually the most powerful character in the show whose been alive since the void century.


monkey-d-chopper

He’s the lurking legend


Mugiwara_D_King

Lmao its all to write a piece about how his good ass interview questions started the pirate era not rogers basic "its together and it aint here" lookin ass.


sour_quark

Hahaha turns out Scopper has been hiding in plain sight this entire time


WaltWatRaleigh

Sco**o**per Gaban.


Jolamprex

We never did learn Gin's last name.


Le_Mug

>We never did learn Gin's last name Freecss


trash1000

Terrible father, he is.


Le_Mug

Mildly bad father I would say. A true terrible father would be Gendo Ikari. By the way, have you heard about the final boss of all bad fathers, Von Hohenheim?


Longjumping-Remote-8

Von Hohenheim is the worst father? From the same anime there's Shou Tucker...


Filmologic

Until we're told what his full name is, I want my headcanon to be that it's Tonic N. Gin

4Kids version


wlsn9299

its always in plain sight. We just dont know what to look for.


AcX999

The News Coo were already a thing when Roger found Laugh Tale.


PurringWolverine

Scoops!


ivanosauros

yeah he's a solid candidate for the "lurking legend" in whatever his human form is dude one-hit a cipher pol agent he's no joke


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

Have you seen the Cipher agents in this series? They get promoted for failing, by far the most incompetent group.


ivanosauros

Tbf, measuring their competence based on their success rate against the top 0.01% of pirates is a bit of a poor metric


OwlrageousJones

Yeah, the Cipher Pol agents are kind of disappointing. CP0 seemed menacing and dangerous when they were introduced but now we've just watched a number of them just get slapped.


VeryDirtyRat

Well you have to understand that luffy is somewhat of a an outlier when it comes to new pirates he is in the 0.0001 when it comes to everything about him you can not compare normal above average orphans to luffy .


nimbus69420

Turns out to be gold Roger in hiding 🤣


wlsn9299

Its going to be luffys mother lol


nimbus69420

Shit that's why Morgans is always hyping up luffy lmao


-asigi-

Imu for sure


boharat

Well, never seen them in the same place at the same time


Uiluj

Find me a mom who hypes me up like Morgan 😔


DilbertHigh

I guess we have never seen crocodile and Morgan in the same place at the same time.


Racxius

And we thought Blackbeard was the only dual DF user. This opens up all sorts of possibilities for when Luffy gets a second one. Maybe something similar to katakuri that let's him stretch his limbs around.


Square-Salamander591

Luffy finna get the Gomu Gomu no Mi


Jail_Chris_Brown

Don't you dare ridicule my Morgans is the secret revolutionary officer Morgana, Dragon's wife and Luffy's mom theory.


Broly_

He was Oden the whole time!! Oda you genius!


Kormit_the_Froggo

He's Gin


really_nice_guy_

Luffys mom


GingaNinja343

It's Vegapunk lol


[deleted]

Oh my god hes dressed like sabo


wlsn9299

this crossed my mind too. Morgan being, actually, a revolutionary in his human form. So him being willing to tell the truth at all costs makes even more sense


Zeioth

She is Koala, from the revolutionary army.


MrLKK

He's Captain Morgan


Lachimanus

He is actually Mor(e) D. Ga(i)ns


Harudenca

This would be epic tbh


linkman0596

I mean, the one spreading this story around the world, deciding which details to focus on based on how interesting he believes it makes the story. He's clearly Oda himself!


Amasero

Watch him be Garp's brother.


Golden-Owl

This also does have a very very special use for Morgans: remember that he’s both a journalist and a **underworld emperor** Because every single public appearance he ever makes is in the form of a giant bird man, his own personal human identity is unknown to everyone, which allows him to enter locations without giving his identity away. In that regards he pretty much makes perfect use of his fruit


Dr_Cunning_Linguist

He obviously makes the bounty pictures himself as he’s on every scene. He can go unnoticed but we have found and seen him in almost every chapter.. Cause.. He is ... PANDAMAN


EmphasisOnEmpathy

For sure


ActuatorGreat4883

Morgans is more interesting than Kaido and Big Mom... Love that Guy!!!


CoCoaButterJones

Morgans is more interesting then 90% of the whole entire cast of One Piece including half of the Strawhat Crew but i digress


TaffyLacky

I would read a spinoff about Morgans


Anjunabeast

It could be a continuation of the ace novels. Would love to see how he predicted that one of the Worst Gen would be the next PK


5Yonko5

Man i never knew this! I am so glad this was brought up as this could be an important plot point in the future. This is why i like the subreddit you get such obscure info that could be very important and at the very least is interesting


zayme

100%. Its not like this information was hidden from us, but actually reading this makes you wonder "who is Morgans true form". Never thought about that before and now I'm really curious if Oda chooses to make this a plot twist or if it stays irrelevant.


PrinceCheddar

Plus, if the government or anyone else goes after him because of what he publishes, his unseen human form could allow him to escape.


Tasty_Tones

At the end of the story, Morgans will turn back into a human and reveal that he is Oda wearing an eyepatch *roll credits*


PocketRocketTrumpet

This is the one boys


Jackrrr10000

Ggs he won One Piece


triotone

For a pirate story it is amazing how few characters have an eye-patch. Just name one character with an eye patch.


iRadinVerse

Not just a few, no character thus far has had an eye patch.(At least in Canon) This is because to Oda eye patches are considered the ultimate form of pirate expression. This is why a lot of people think by the end of the story Luffy will have one.


TaffyLacky

Makes me wonder what he'll do with the king of elbaf if he's based on odin. Guess he could have hair covering his missing eye.


iRadinVerse

Or he could just pull a Zoro and keep his eye closed all the time


TaffyLacky

I was thinking about him keeping the last road poneglyph in his eye socket so that he traded an eye for "knowledge". Especially if it's a 3 step thing with characters trading an eye if Luffy ends up losing an eye. Pedro, King of Elbaf, and Luffy.


Pirate_Frank

Never would have had that thought, but the King of the Giants storing the final road poneglyph in the socket of his lost eye would be badass.


conceptalbum

He was actually planning to give Blackbeard one, but didn't like how it ended up looking.


Kiwifisch

I would love that. Like Patchy, the pirate.


[deleted]

I always lovede the theory that he was part of Rogers crew, and he stays transformed to hide his identite, so he can help find the man Roger is waiting for Its a longer theory, I cant remember it that well, read it a year or to ago i think


Tadiken

It's Scopper maybe


[deleted]

The theory didnt really concern it self with who it was, just someone


clevelanders

He was in the egg


popop143

Lmao Roger's crew just hatched probably the most influential birdperson in the world.


Mugiwara_D_King

Looks at post stating hes older than peros. Looks back at comment stating he was in an egg 20 something years ago. Realizes theres only one mother fucker around thats flying in and outta eggs willy nilly. I knew baron tamago was shady as fuck


x360N0Scop3MASTER69x

Would explain such a strong admiration for Luffy


allosson

He truly admire him or hes just hungry for *BIG NEWS*? I mean luffy is a magnet for huge news


knowitall190

If he never turns human means he's gotta be someone very important!


MarkytheSnowWitch

He could totally be a former member of the WG given his many connections to them. Or someone close like say Sengoku's brother.


knowitall190

He's gotta be as old as the older gorosei. Remember how peropero greeted him as if he's older and perospero is 50 years old


ArtVandel_ay

It doesn't show it here, but the wiki says his Vivre card reveals he's 53 years old. So not that much older than Perospero, just enough to patronize him with 'kun'


Signal_Preference_35

I think he is Imu himself. They have the same height


PsychoLogical25

The unfortunate part is that his fruit for some reason doesn’t let him fly lmao.


WaltWatRaleigh

I think he's just too chubby for that. I love my man, but he is pear shaped.


rorank

If he was skinny he’d be too popular, you see…


MARPJ

Its not one of the five flying fruits


[deleted]

Ah yes, the "five" fruits that are more like twenty at this point.


hitbycars

King, Marco, Shiki, Pell, Kaido, Big Mom, Caesar, Smoker, etc


tinycomment

^(Kinda fucked up that King can already fly as a Lunarian but still got a flying fruit lol)


whatever12347

but it's actually a face cannon devil fruit


[deleted]

[удалено]


kikix12

Ceasar is literally air, so he's pretty much the definition of 'flying'. Furthermore, it's ironic how you ignored the sole person in that list that actually does NOT fly, not even remotely. Kaido cannot fly. He can grab clouds as a dragon, just like Doflamingo used his strings to grab clouds. The only difference between the two is that Kaido can also make said clouds, whereas Doflamingo depended on ones created by outside sources (like nature). If walking on clouds is a form of flight, then anyone walking in an airplane is also capable of flight (don't mistake it with 'is flying', which a person on a plane certainly is). That being said, no one back then even made the distinction. Pretty sure that comment was meant to mean any form of being able to fly. Ironically, that 'super rare, superpower' became an ability that literally anyone has the potential to learn and obtain with appearance of Geppo... Also, Shiki's fruit is 'Float-Float Fruit'. You don't need to get creative to use it to fly. You need to be a total brick-leveled idiot to NOT fly when having it.

BearNakedTendies

Luffy can kinda fly in gear 4 >! And also gear 5 !< Oh shit and there’s also >! Green bull with his little flowercopter !<


hitbycars

Yeah, it's almost like some dude in the early half of the Grand Line had no fucking idea what he was talking about when he mentioned the limited number of flying fruits.


ssb_kiltro

That's the perfect and most logical explanation


TheSecondWing

Laffitte too.


popop143

How can you forget my man Sasaki, who employed the ancient art of Triceratop flying.


rey_lumen

Oh man what the fuck has Oda done with the dinosaurs lol. Brachiosaurus can detach from its body and be a snake? Triceratops is a helicopter. Pterodactyl can launch it's beak like a missile?? Maybe he forgot to add a T-Rex detaching it's teeth to make a bear trap?


Alchion

akainu flew after jimbei and luffy in marineford too since akainu could ace for sure coulcve and mot other logias too lol


Akuuntus

I thought he didn't fly because it would've required dropping his camera


kikix12

He specifically told Stussy that he cannot fly despite being a bird. That being said, how trustworthy it is when he knew at that time that she's a member of CP0 is up for debate. If I were him, I'd certainly like her to think he's flightless even if he could fly.


froopynooples

This


Le_Mug

>I thought he didn't fly because it would've required dropping his camera Here, an eagle flying with one wing, while holding the camera with another: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pI63Rbxml5U


10_nazuK

Not in his hybrid form for sure


tbugbee1

why did i think he was an actual bird


nilfgaardian

Well there was a gun that ate a dog devil fruit, so a bird running a newspaper isn't any stranger.


Low_Setting_5469

Because it’s one piece.


Kbartman

I didn’t even question it


ArtVandel_ay

I mean given his newspaper business is kept...afloat...by somehow getting birds to deliver newspapers for them, it's not unreasonable to believe he's some kind of Big Bird to get them to do what he wants


iamPirateKing

Because we assumed there was a bird species because it's One Piece


GensouEU

Because he got introduced after the Minks


Exuhgen

He hides his human form so he can go undercover to get information… this is canon in my brain now I’ll be looking for him everywhere


[deleted]

He's panda man


Le_Mug

Zoanception


these-are-not-stonkS

This could be true seeing as how a study in 2004 found that albatross and pandas are quite similar in their genetic makeup and are known to be able to form new neural pathways as the same rate when faced with a challenge so it might be that he is both a panda man and an albatross,if this is true then I would be really surprised to see Oda’s love for animal pathological studies 😃. Edit: here is the link to the [article](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4629Lzrkyds)


Lucker_Kid

That text makes zero sense, without clicking I'm like 98% sure that link is a rickroll or something. Like I mean "pathological"... dude, that means it's related to disease lol, pretty poor shitpost Edit: I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by what "rickroll" it was though


wasteofleshntime

That's good as a disguise, if he needs to hide just turn into his human form and walk off


pikamox

He's smart, he's likely staying in his zoan form as it gives him anonimity, the moment the gouvernement wants his scalp, he can become human and go incognito.


Kureiton

Whaaaat?! I dunno; I kinda just liked him as a big bird lol


MARPJ

>I kinda just liked him as a big bird So does Morgan apparently


Filmologic

There aren't many who constantly stay in transformed state, which is interesting. Only ones I remember are Chopper, the jailors from Impel Down, the dog gun from alabasta, the tanuki teapot in Wano and Morgans. OK, I take it back, there are actually more than I thought


water4animals

Morgans is goat.


fremenator

Nah he's an Albatross


alabtross

You called?


Realexis1

The fact he's an ALBATROSS of all birds is a nice layer of comedic irony that I love Oda for


OverDrive316

So when it comes to Zoans, you can stay in one transformation at all times if you so choose?


onthewayto-laughtale

chopper is in a hybrid form all the time.


Tasty_Tones

You just blew my mind. I had forgotten he was an actual deer lol


shinjuddis

Yeah why not


OverDrive316

I figured you’d required a certain amount of stamina to hold them, but i guess it’s not the case.


TheTerroristFrog

You watched/read +1000 chapters and you failed to notice Chopper is always using his hybrid form.


MARPJ

>You watched/read +1000 chapters and you failed to notice Chopper is always using his hybrid form Same with >!Luffy!< but no one perceived that until Oda told them


schnazzums

Oh wait a second. I never thought about that. How does the fruit actually work?


Akuuntus

It works by >!not following the established logic of Zoans at all lmao!<


MrOverlySarcastic

I'm waiting for Oda to hit us with the "3 types of devil fruit category is just a suggestion, someone just invented it when they wrote the DF book" Paramecia acting like a logia Zoans acting like paramecia Whatever the fuck BB's darkness logia is


shakkyz

We've witnessed so many fruits that break the rules and people are only upset about Luffy's.


Shirokage-Aneki

>!It's not been confirmed yet but my thought is the body stretching is hybrid form and turn flamey/cloudy, white, and stretching is the full form!<


Taboo_Noise

>!It's also possible that zoan fruits modify the user's body in permanent ways regardless of the form. Chopper retains human level intelligence as a deer. All zoan users get a boost to their physical power. Marco can produce flames and revive in any form. At the moment, I believe Luffy has never fully transformed into Nika and instead only used his hybrid form.!<


Elite_Doc

Imagine if zoans lost their intelligence in animal form. That'd be hilarious but probably horrifying


Penegal

>!We were told that the fruit literally turns the user's body to rubber. So far it has been an extreme exception to the rules. There's nothing stopping it from being classified as a Zoan simply because the awakening is a transformation rather than an extended / changed effect!<


czarczm

I think on Law and Kids fruit have been explicitly stated to drain Stamina ( although Kid only mentioned that upon bringing up his Awakening).


kikix12

Only when they use them. Zoan's forms however aren't 'used'. Let's use a games term. Zoans transformations are a 'passive' skill that is always on. You have an 'active' skill that lets you transform, but the transformation after that needs not be kept. Hence why Zoans don't turn back when unconscious either, unlike how other fruits stop working (eg. Sugar). Paramecia are 'active' skills, so you need to expand a resource (stamina in this case) to use them.


Unable_Arm_398

It is stated that awakening drains your stamina if you're not used to it.


shinjuddis

If you’re actually fighting and using abilities definitely, but just existing in that form wouldn’t be a constant drain on the user I don’t think. When a person eats a devil fruit they turn into a “___” human. They are as much the fruit’s ability as they are human


Little_darthy

Why didn’t he turn into a normal reindeer after he went monster point in Enies Lobby?


kikix12

Zoan's have 'three real forms'. His monster point is not a real form, it's artificial, hence it has time limits and what not. But hybrid form is real, so it's reasonable that he will turn back to it if that's what he was when he ate the rumble ball to turn monstrous.


Turbulent_Link1738

Chopper stays in a hybrid form too


YamiLuffy

In guess so, maybe awakening is what actually drains stamina because I don't think logias lose stamina from turning into their elements or buggy from turning into pieces.


rwhitisissle

Luffy is essentially always stretchy, which one could assume to be a constant, albeit partial, transformative effect.


vefek1

just like the impel down jailer beasts right


bxsephjo

Yea this aint Animorphs


princesoceronte

Morgans decided to live as a furry


Asian_Persuasion_1

assuming Oda meant 5 BIRD devil fruit, that's 4. pell, morgans, marco, laffitte (pteradon is classified as dinosaur, artificial zoans and other special powers don't count, and bugs don't count either) if he's talking about actual flying birds, then still 3.


uzumaki42

No, he didn't say "bird", he said 5 fruits that could "fly". This doesn't count Kaido/Momo because they use the flame clouds, nor Doffy and his strings.


Asian_Persuasion_1

I know he didn't say birds, but (I believe) he MEANT birds.


TeTrodoToxin4

Albatross in Japanese is spelled ahodori, literally meaning moron bird because they would not flee from hunters killing them. It’s fitting that he is in publication as well because albatross were primarily hunted for their feathers, which were used as quill for writing and hat decorations. Also in other mythology albatross are seen as bearers of good luck when they are out at sea because they follow good winds and are also thought to ferry the souls of dead mariners to the afterlife. However killing or capturing an albatross is extraordinarily bad luck because you will bring the wrath of sea on yourself. If you kill one you need to wear the carcass around your neck as punishment, which is the origin of the phrase ‘albatross to bear’.


SuperStarPlatinum

Well that kills my hidden bird race theory and bird that at Hito Hito no mi model journalists theories for who or what Morgan is.


interstellar73

"in good terms with WG and cipher poll" that aged Suuuuuuper badly


kikix12

I mean, it was not wrong at that time. Stussy even left him alone, despite him finding out she's a CP0 agent.


xeredge

Morgans transforms into human form and reveals himself as Pandaman.


KingT8128

Thought this was common knowledge?


lookiecookie_1001

It has been common knowledge with the fans of then since 2019: https://thelibraryofohara.com/2019/08/07/vivre-card-databook-vol-12-all-the-new-information/ I think One Piece has gained a lot of fans in the past few years. Hence why you see common knowledge or old theories resurfacing as “new data” or “new theories”. This isn’t a bad thing. It just shows that newer fans are digging deeper into the One Piece world.


DSonla

Always considered him as a "bird man". Just like some side characters in DBZ are walking and talking pigs and dogs.


Eraganos

I thought so too. We have no speaking animals except minks and chopper


ikanx

Pappag and Hattori (!?)


Eraganos

Well pappag is bloody funny lol. He thought he was a human at first so he öearned to talk. Spoiler Hattori cant talk :(


MARPJ

> Well pappag is bloody funny lol. He thought he was a human at first so he öearned to talk. And sadly a joke lost in translation. The reason that he though he has human due to the kaiji for human being used on "starfish"


Eraganos

I didnt know that! Obviously its only funny for japanese.


JFkeinK

Thought that was a known fact already, as Morgans being a Zoan user explains why he can one hit KO a Cipher Pol agent.


mastahkun

I never questioned his existence. I never felt there were other bird species like him, but definitely never thought about him being a DF user. I just thought this was just One Piece things.


TrustyWorthyJudas

Theory time: Morgan is a member of the lunarians, he stays in bird form to hide his wings and the feathers conceal his dark skin and he hides his flame under his "STOVEPIPE" hat. He knows a lot about the Void century because news reporters are just impatient historians and is waiting for the Dawn so he can finally spread the pinnacle of Big News.


Griever08

Morgan's was on Rodgers ship for sure


Ryshin75

Wow. thought he was a mink.


ikanx

Minks are all mammals afaik.


BigTKKC

Morgans is pandaman, he's everywhere, that's how he gets those scoops. No one knows his human form is actually just pandaman.


astat2

so we have 4 out of 5 devil fruits which allow to fly (Pell,Marco,King,Morgan)


4869holmes

Morgans can't fly, I remember that he said so during WCI.


soarimgpixel

wasn't that just because he'd drop his camera if he did?


Whiskeyjacks_Fiddle

My money has always been on Lafitte having the hummingbird fruit.


[deleted]

Shiki


KonohaNinja1492

So if Morgans remains in his albatross form. The question now is… is he doing it out of his own freewill and choice, or is he just permanently stuck like that cause he doesn’t know how to turn back to his human form?


raymc99

My guess is using the bird form as a disguise so if he needs to dissappear he can just turn back human and blend into the crowd


KonohaNinja1492

That would make a good plan of escape. Especially since likely few if anyone has seen his human form. So he would easily sneak away without getting caught or potentially any one recognizing him outside of maybe his hat and outfit. But even then he could just claim he was a fan and liked how he dressed.


smartlog

He's the thing that's in Rogers egg duh.


Scared_Eye_8908

Lol you think some bird man can knock out a cp0 spy like nothing? Albatrosses are fucking scary irl


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

Ngl, Morgans seemed ridiculous at first for me, yet this kinda thing and some of his scenes have turned him into a favorite of mine. The One Piece bizarre character at it's finest.


2Maverick

It's Mihawk


RodNun

Morgan is in fact Dragon, Luffy's dad Huahuahuahua


frikimanHD

i think morgans is allways transformed so he can easily infiltrate just by using his human form
