CBR VIDEO OF THE DAY
15 Three of the living carriers belong to the worst generation
Three of the surviving Will of D bearers belong to the "worst generation". Those three are Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law, and Marshall D. Teach. All three are also captains of their teams, users of Devil Fruit, and have extremely high bounties if someone catches them. Morgans believes one of the members of the "worst generation" will become the next Pirate King, and many fans are divided on whether Monkey, Trafalgar, or Marshall have any chance of actually becoming that Pirate King.
14 One of the bearers is the only known survivor of Flevance
Trafalgar D. Water Actis the only airline that is the sole known survivor of Flevance. After many citizens of Flevance fell ill and died from the poisoning effects of amber lead, the royal family escaped with themthe world government's help and let their citizens die. Neighboring countries feared the disease could become contagious and quarantined the island. Any citizens who tried to fight their way out were killed, and the only reason Trafalgar survived was because he hid amidst a mountain of corpses and smuggled his way out of the border. It is not known whether there are others
13 One of the bearers is one of the four emperors
One of the bearers of D's will is one ofthe four emperorsMarshall D. Teaching. Notably, Marshall is also the only character to date to have the power of two devil fruits, the Yami Yami no Mi, which allowed him to create, control, and turn his body into darkness, and the Gura Gura no Mi, which gave him gave the ability to use shock waves and earthquakes.

Another thing that sets him apart, though, is that Blackbeard is the only person out of all the D carriers to show fear of death. This is unlike many other porters such as Luffy, Gol D. Roger, and Portgas D. Ace, all of whom were willing to accept death with a smile on their face (although Luffy survived his near-death before Buggy was able to shoot him).
12 Only one former carrier died in the present (so far)
Just one of the bearers of D's will,Portgas D. Ace,died in the present day of the series. The remaining four deceased known to be bearers of D's will, Gol D. Roger, Jaguar D. Saul, Portgas D. Rogue, and Rocks D. Xebec died in flashbacks. There could be more carriers of D who are still alive. However, there's also a chance that by the present day of the series, there are other carriers who are already dead or just died. However, how quickly these carriers will be revealed by D is a mystery to fans.
11 Only five carriers are known to be alive
There are only five carriers known to be alive, out of the ten carriers featured so far. These five known living carriers are Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Dragon, Marshall D. Teach, and Trafalgar D. Water Law. Interestingly, Marshall D. Teach and Trafalgar D. Water Law are not related to Luffy, but act as his enemies and allies, respectively. Fans suspect more bearers of the Will of D will be revealed later, but how soon that will be is unknown.
10 Its meaning is still a mystery
The will of D has been a mystery from the first chapter of the series. However, their meaning remains unknown. With that in mind, it must be noted that several references to this have already been dropped, and it is believed that D's will has something to do with performing something several centuries ago.

This could well tie in with the Old KingdomOne piece, whose story has also remained under wraps so far. The Wano Country arc is expected to contribute to everything we know about the will of D.
9 There are 10 characters associated with D
So far, a total of 10 characters with the letter D have appeared in the series. Although most of them are pirates, there are some, like Monkey D. Garp and Jaguar D. Saul, who are also in the Marines. Aside from these two, another member of the clan who has nothing to do with piracy is Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon.
Portgas D. Rouge is the only known member of this clan not affiliated with any major power in the worldOne piece. However, she gave birth to Portgas D. Ace, who inspired others to define an era as well.
Although only 10 members of the D-race have been revealed to us so far, there are likely many more who are alive but choose to remain hidden. This was confirmed by Don Quixote Doflamingo after his capture, and according to him the people who carry D's will are hidden and spread around the world.

As the tides of the era shift rapidly, more and more of their preferences are revealed. The latest character, revealed to be D, is none other than Trafalgar Law.
7 The truth of the D. is still a mystery
There is certainly a significant meaning behind the D initials inOne piece, however, Oda has chosen to keep it a secret until the time is right. When asked in an SBS, Oda revealed it's a mystery he'll unveil in due course.
According to him, the D will be read simply as D for now, but there will be more details on that in due course that will likely completely change the way fans see it.
6 The first mention of The Will Of D was during the Drum Island arc
Although the name "D" was introduced to the series from the beginning, "Wil of D" was first specifically mentioned during the Drum Island arc, which happens after the Straw Hats enter the Grand Line.

it was dr Kureha, who was the first to use the term "will of D". Interestingly, she did so while revealing the real name of the Pirate King, who went by the false name of Gold Roger thanks to the government's attempt to hide his name.
5 The most influential living character is Nico Robin
Although there are many characters who possess the dexterity to turn the tide of the era, such as Monkey D. Luffy or Trafalgar Law, the most influential character who holds the key to D's will is certainly Nico Robin.
This is because she is able to read the poneglyphs, revealing the true story in the process. Nico Robin has been actively searching for the meaning of the "Will of D". So far she has mentioned this term three times, first in Alabasta, then in Skypiea, and finally in the Sabaody Archipelago.
4 The Roger Pirates know their true meaning
Just as some search for the meaning of D's will, some have already accomplished this task. As revealed by Silvers Rayleigh during the Sabaody archipelago arc, the Roger Pirates have fully explored the Grand Line, found the One Piece, and found the world's true history.

In doing so, they found out what D's will really was. Unfortunately, due to some shortcomings, they seemed unable to execute the will.
3 The Roger Pirates are impatient and unable to do anything against D's will
As mentioned above, the Roger Pirates were successful in revealing the true history of theworld ofOne piece, and in the process also learned of D's will. Nevertheless, they could do nothing against it.
Although the reason for this was not explained by Rayleigh, he did say that perhaps the Roger Pirates and the Oharan were far too impatient. The Straw Hats, on the other hand, were encouraged by Rayleigh to go down the path unhurriedly. They might come to a different conclusion than the others.
2 The families carried D's will for ages
Among those who have the initial D in their name, no one knows what it means. As Jaguar D Saul confirms, most don't know what the name means. All they knew was that their families had been wearing it for ages.
Interestingly, many different families seem to be the bearers of this name, such asFamily "Monkey D"., and the 'Gol D' family. There are others like Law and Rocks, among many others, whose families bear that name.
1 D's will is closely related to power
D's will is closely related to the balance of power in the world ofOne piece. As Rocinante explains, the world nobles often instill fear of the D in their children. This is probably because they are associated with bringing chaos into the world and somehow getting closer to itMystery of the Void Century, sometimes even unconsciously.
Trafalgar Law also said something similar to Don Quixote Doflamingo when asked why he trusts Luffy so much. Those with a D in their name will certainly turn the tide again in the future.
