Weatheria's return in One Piece may be linked to an Ancient Weapon

Modified Nov 04, 2024 12:30 GMT

After the resurrection of the dead Vegapunk satellites in One Piece, their combined bodies, called Weatheria for some purpose, were unveiled to the fandom. Weatheria's return, through Emeth's knot, hinted at the importance of this sky island, which extends further, such that the island's residents might be crucial in taking down an Ancient Weapon.

Uranus, speculated to be in the hands of the World Government, was a weapon used through the sky in the Lulusia Kingdom. So, Weatheria, also being in the sky, might see these two as destined enemies. But how would this sky island compete with the power of Uranus? That is where Weatheria's old ally, Nami, would enter with Zeus' thunder powers.

One Piece: Exploring Weatheria's entry as a counter against Uranus

During the last part of Vegapunk's speech in One Piece, Emeth was cornered by the Gorosei and was about to meet his end. However, before that could happen, the Iron Giant pulled out a rope that had a knot tied to it. As Emeth untied the knot, a Haki was released, which sent shockwaves to the end of the Grand Line. This Haki belonged to JoyBoy.

This Haki release was a throwback to the time skip when Nami trained at Weatheria Island and learned of something similar. The scholars at Weatheria showed Nami the power of storing wind inside a rope's knot, similar to the knot that had JoyBoy's Haki inside. Not only this, Weatheria also received a direct mention after the Egghead arc concluded.

After the death of most of Vegapunk satellites, their bodies combined into a single being and rose to the sky. After a little conversation, this combined being called Herades to ask for something, but that certain something wasn't revealed. So, what could this call for help be?

In Vegapunk's message, the scientist also revealed that the World Government has an Ancient Weapon, presumably Uranus. This Ancient Weapon was shown in action when it blew apart the Lulusia Kingdom to erase it from existence. It worked like a cloud machine as it approached the Kingdom from the sky.

So, the best bet to stopping this Ancient Weapon from carrying its destruction would be to use another sky weapon, possibly through the assistance of Herades and the Weatheria Kingdom's Weather Ball. However, as the folks at Weatheria have hardly ever used these balls for combat, there is no way for them to use them against Uranus.

So, this is where Nami would enter, as she is well aware of everything on this sky island (as she has spent a good amount of time on this island). Moreover, she also got her hands on the strongest thundercloud, Zeus, making her the perfect fuel for the clouds of Weatheria Kingdom to stop the Ancient Weapon Uranus.

Analysis and final thoughts

This theory makes sense in more than one way, considering how Weatheria's input in the plotline is increasing and the combined Vegapunk satellites called Haredes immediately after getting resurrected.

However, this theory seems amateurish because it is too good to be true. It ties obvious elements, and that's not how One Piece works. So, take this theory just as a form of entertainment.
