Was Dr. Clover’s Brother Killed by CP? | The Theory of Clau D. CloverSection heading: The Theory of Clau D. Clover?
Dr. Clover’s full name was Clau D. Clover, but in the end, he likely didn’t discover the true meaning of the “D” or the will it represents…
However, considering his reputation as a genius and his determination when he asked Vegapunk to collaborate with him, it’s highly probable that he formed some kind of hypothesis about the “D.”
Perhaps it was an instinctive hypothesis, with no concrete evidence to support it, but one that he could only form because he was also a “D.”
While it may not be considered a hypothesis in the strictest sense, if he did have a theory, it’s likely that it was close to the truth.
Personally, I think if he had a hypothesis, it might have been something akin to an ancient promise made in the distant past—a promise that had to be fulfilled…
Looking at the “D” bearers, there’s an image that comes to mind: a will that insists on freedom, on not being subjugated or controlled by anyone.
Reading ONE PIECE, I get the sense that beliefs are not something you hold for yourself, but for someone or something else. Such beliefs are far stronger than those held for one’s own sake.
There’s also significance in the fact that those who hide their “D” continue to bear it, despite hiding it.
I believe the “D” represents an unbreakable will to uphold a promise made in the distant past—a promise to never abandon it.
Dr. Clover, despite seeing his brother killed for revealing his “D,” never abandoned it, indicating that the “D” is something they instinctively cannot let go of.
From Roger’s conversations about the “D,” it seems that the World Government might have misunderstood the meaning of the “D.”
While Im-sama and others might see the “D” as a symbol of rebellion against gods or rulers, in reality, it might represent the will to fulfill a certain promise, which aligns with Roger and his crew’s discussions.
This could explain why Roger’s crew didn’t take any further action—they might have believed that the time to fulfill that promise was not 25 years ago, but now.
Luffy’s journey essentially began with a promise to Shanks, which aligns with this idea. Perhaps that’s what the “D” truly represents…
Vegapunk seemed to know something about the meaning of the “D,” and if he knew, it’s highly likely that Saul knows as well.
Saul, being a “D,” might be the only one fully aware of its significance, making him the only current “D” with that understanding.
I believe Saul might provide answers to some of the mysteries left by Vegapunk, including the circumstances of his brother’s death, in the upcoming Elbaf arc.
