As an avid fan of One Piece, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Eiichiro Oda finally unveiled the mystery surrounding the last Road Poneglyph in chapter 1087. This revelation came just before Oda Sensei announced his hiatus due to an upcoming eye surgery. The holder of this highly sought-after artifact turned out to be quite unexpected. The Road Poneglyph plays a crucial role in the One Piece series, with several recent chapters focusing on the race to obtain these copies. These ancient stone relics, created by the ancient kingdom in the One Piece world 800 to 900 years ago, hold the key to reaching the last island, Laugh Tale. To reach this mythical island, one must obtain all four copies of the Road Poneglyph.
Fans already knew that the locations of the other three copies were in the hands of the new era Yonko in the One Piece world (excluding Buggy). However, when it came to discussing the location of the last copy, Oda Sensei had not provided any strong hints in the series. Nonetheless, in chapter 1087, the identity of the holder of the last Road Poneglyph was finally revealed. These Poneglyphs were carved by the ancient kingdom or the Kozuki Clan of Wano Country to preserve their history and ensure that their legacy would be passed down through generations in the One Piece world. While some Poneglyphs contain instructional information and guides to the existence of the Road Poneglyph, others reveal the locations of the Ancient Weapons Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus in the One Piece world. In addition to the Poneglyphs that narrate bits of history or the location of Ancient Weapons, some also depict the whereabouts of the One Piece treasure itself.
The Road Poneglyphs stand out from other stones, as they are red in color and there are four in total. Only by finding all four can someone in the One Piece world reach Laugh Tale. The first mention of the Road Poneglyph was during the Zou arc, where it was revealed to be hidden deep within the Whale Forest, guarded by the Mink Tribe. In chapter 1087 of One Piece, the location of the last Road Poneglyph was finally unveiled to fans. This revelation came in the form of a flashback involving Kuzan and the Blackbeard Pirates, with a discussion about a man with burn scars. Killer had previously mentioned that Kid needed to find a man with burn scars to reach the treasure island in One Piece. However, Oda Sensei did not provide any further details about the significance of this person in the pursuit of the Road Poneglyph in the One Piece world. In this chapter, Blackbeard finally revealed that the man with burn scars is the owner of the last Road Poneglyph. It is believed that he sails on a ship entirely black, and anyone who approaches him will be immediately engulfed by the sea due to a mysterious power in the One Piece world.
Now, the identity of the holder of the last Road Poneglyph is finally unveiled. So far, there is only one significant and powerful person seen sailing on a black ship in the One Piece world, and that person is none other than Monkey D Dragon. It is known that he also has a tattoo on his face, although this tattoo is not a burn scar. However, in future stories, it seems that Dragon’s connection to this person in the One Piece world will soon be revealed. So, Dragon is the one who possesses the last Road Poneglyph. What do you think, fellow One Piece Nakama? Let us eagerly await for Oda Sensei to fully unveil this intriguing fact.
