Kapanlagi.com - Since 1997, the mystery of the treasure in the One Piece series has continued to spark curiosity among readers worldwide. The question of what exactly "One Piece" is has become the biggest puzzle in the history of the manga.

Now, fans of Eiichiro Oda's work are said to be getting closer to the answer. A special project involving a Japanese marine research institution marks a new step in uncovering this mystery.

This momentum also coincides with the significant achievement of 600 million volumes of One Piece sold. The celebration is realized through a unique collaboration that is unusual for a manga franchise.

1. The Mystery of One Piece Since 1997 Continues to Hang

Since its first publication in 1997, One Piece has presented the main mystery about the legendary treasure sought by Monkey D. Luffy. For more than two decades, details about the true form of the treasure have been kept very tightly by Oda.

The creator has repeatedly emphasized that One Piece is not an abstract concept like friendship or loyalty. Nevertheless, he continues to limit descriptive information so that the tension continues to accumulate for over 25 years.

2. Special Project Celebrating 600 Million Copies

According to Oricon reports, Oda collaborated with the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology or Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). This project is held to commemorate the sale of the 600 millionth volume of One Piece.

In an official video released through the official One Piece YouTube channel, Oda recorded himself writing the answer to that legendary question for the first time. The question he wrote was, "What is the One Piece?"

3. The Answer Was Written, Then Locked and Sunken

The content of the answer was not shown in the released video. The sheet of paper containing the answer was placed in a small chest that was tightly locked.

The chest was then sealed again in a pressure-resistant glass ball. After that, the object was sunk to the seabed and will remain there until the last chapter of One Piece is published in Weekly Shonen Jump.

4. Special Advertisements and Half Answer Replica

To spread this project to fans, special advertisements were published in two major Japanese newspapers, namely The Asahi Shimbun and The Yomiuri Shimbun. In the video, Oda is seen tearing the page containing that information into two parts.

The lower part containing the answer was placed in the chest. Meanwhile, a replica of the upper part containing the question, "What is One Piece and who is Monkey D. Luffy?" was published through the advertisement.

5. Strict Supervision and Major Agenda of One Piece

In addition to JAMSTEC, this project also involves researchers from the Cabinet Office of Strategic Innovation Promotion Program Phase 3 (SIP). Both parties supervise the placement of the boxes to avoid disturbing the marine ecosystem of Japan.

On the other hand, the One Piece franchise is also preparing to welcome a number of major agendas. The Netflix live-action series is scheduled to return on March 10 with its second season, while the One Piece anime will air again on April 5, 2026, with a new arc "Elbaf".
