Ever sinceOne Piecebegan, the Navy has been majorly portrayed in a negative way to make the perspective of the pirates look right. Be it the Navy villains before the time skip or the Admirals after the time skip, the Marines have always had an antagonistic aura around them, which made fans hate the entire organization for crushing the dreams of the pirates.

The biggest authority in the villainous Navy right now is the Fleet Admiral and his Admiral subordinates. Akainu holds the position of Fleet Admiral, which he won fair and square from Kuzan in a battle that lasted for ten days. After losing, Kuzan chose to leave the Navy and joined the Blackbeard Pirates, making fans hate him even more.
However, a recent revelation by Eiichiro Oda has prompted fans to believe that the Navy might not be evil at all. Instead, they are just trying to do what’s right for theOne Pieceworld, which essentially makes them the neutral side.

TheOne PieceTwist That Might Change Everything
Recently, during the Q&A ofOne PieceSBS Volume 110, Oda was asked about the food that mysteriously appeared in front of Luffy and saved him during the battle at Egghead. While the manga creator did not directly reveal the name, he hinted that it was Kizaru who helped Luffy, prompting that he might not be evil at all.

Kizaru has always been a stickler for rules and has followed his orders with absolute certainty. This gave a wrong impression to fans who believed him to be an antagonist. However, withOda revealing Kizaru’s true intentions, he has given a deeper understanding of his character, which essentially clears him of all the allegations that were placed on him inOne Piece.
This twist also proves that with Kuzan joining Blackbeard and Kizaru secretly helping Luffy, Akainu is the only one left alone inOne Pieceto fight truly for justice. He will be the one representing the Navy in the finalOne Piecewar that will change the world completely.

One PieceTheory Hints That Kuzan Didn’t Fight Akainu
With the shocking revelation about Kizaru,Eiichiro Odahas cleared the Admiral from all the allegations against him. However, the twist has also prompted a newOne Piecetheory, which states that the Admiral was never evil to begin with. They are just doing what’s right for theOne Pieceworld, and even the fight between Kuzan and Akainu was an elaborate ruse.
The theory was posted by <a href=“http://Comment byu/Fimz6 from discussion inOnePieceu/jemrax on Reddit, and it states that the three powerhouses of the Navy: Akainu, Kuzan, and Kizaru were never evil to begin with. They even planned the alleged battle between Kuzan and Akainu to make him earn the trust of Blackbeard in order to infiltrate his crew.

If the theory holds any ground, it will also give rise tothe possibility of the Navy eventually betraying the World Governmentand fighting them in the final war. Furthermore, it will makeOne Piecefans forgive Akainu, Kuzan, and Kizaru, who have been portrayed as terrible characters from the beginning.
