The Ancient Kingdom was said to be vast, proud, and powerful. All mentions of it and its history have been erased, with even its name remaining a secret. The name of Ancient Kingdom is still a mystery, author Oda has never mentioned it, but fans have made many different speculations. In this post, we will also make an interesting speculation.

Oda revealed that he is looking forward to drawing a pirate wearing an eye patch. Many theorize that he will be Luffy, but what if he is actually Joyboy? The first pirate of the seas.

Joyboy was born in an advanced kingdom and possibly injured his left eye, just like Luffy. Luffy wears a T-shirt with the word “Anchor” written on it. In nautical terms, an anchor is a tool used to secure a boat to the seabed, in a harbor or bay, preventing its horizontal movement. It must be strong enough to keep the boat anchored and easy to hoist when the ship needs to set sail.

Could the name of the Ancient Kingdom have been Anka アンカ (Anchor)? The Advanced Kingdom where the protagonist of this Laugh Tale was born.

The Japanese translation of “anchor” is いかり (Ikari), which resembles Icarus, the character from Greek mythology who flew too close to the Sun, had his wax wings melted, and fell into the sea.

Could Vegapunk be making this association, as he is soon to reveal the name of the Ancient Kingdom? Anka, like an anchor, was a mobile Kingdom that functioned as a ship or even as a flying vessel, and is now at the bottom of the sea.

It always caught my attention that at the end of the One Piece logo there is an anchor. If this logo represents the Grand Line, then at the end of the story do they need to reach Anka (anchor)?
