Eiichiro Oda Explains the Meaning and Figure of the 'D' Name Who Has Appeared in One Piece

The bearers of the D name in the One Piece universe, have not all been shown by the mangaka Eiichiro Oda.

The bearer of the name D, previously did not pay much attention to the fans in the early chapters of One Piece.

The first character that aroused the curiosity of fans for the person with the name D, was Doctor Kureha.

It was at the end of the Drum Kingdom saga, Tony Tony Chopper's teacher mentioned one of the most legendary D names, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

After that, the Straw Hat pirate crew, the archaeologist Nico Robin, questioned the purpose of the people with the D name after Luffy was defeated by Crocodile.

Nico Robin was previously known to have a giant friend named Jaguar D. Saulo, who had saved his life.

Later, Robin was also briefly involved in a discussion with the Sky Knights Gan Fall in the Skypiea saga about the initials D in Roger and Luffy's names.

The archaeologist in the Straw Hat Luffy crew is, by far, still the person who most often mentions about the D clan.

Robin is known to have talked about the determination of D (Will of D) with Roger's former right-hand man, the Dark Lord Silvers Rayleigh on the island of Sabaody.

Rayleigh also seemed to know exactly what Will of D meant, but Robin and the Straw Hat crew refused to be told at the time.

What is certain is that this is related to the World Government's move to hide information regarding the person named D.

They even hide the original name of the Pirate King by connecting his name, so that it is known to the world as Gold Roger.

The bearers of the name D seem to have been intended by Eiichiro Oda as one of the surprises at the end of the One Piece saga.
