One Piece remains one of the most beloved series worldwide, alongside its captivating storylines and cliffhangers, drawing attention to countless “secrets” that have yet to be revealed within the Golden Throne located in Mary Geoise. Today, let’s delve into the true significance of this throne. However, this is merely a personal opinion; readers are encouraged to take it as a reference.
The Golden Throne in Mary Geoise is viewed as the embodiment of the Government’s authority. It is understood to be the pinnacle of equality among nations across the globe. Only Im-sama is allowed to sit on this throne, while any mention of figures like the Gorosei or any Celestial Dragons is strictly off-limits.
It is situated at the center of the world, elevated on a platform that requires climbing three steep flights of stairs. If one were to consider the significance, there are 20 seats that include swords and shields placed right in front of the throne.
As we know, approximately 800 years ago, there existed a period known as the ‘Void Century.’ During this time, there was a World Government, where the entire world was under the control of the current government.
This kingdom still harbors many of the world’s secrets: including the origins of the ancient weapons, the secrets of the D lineage, and various incidents that have caused distress for the current Government.
However, due to unknown reasons, there has been a conflict and power struggle within this kingdom, where the 20 kings collectively decided to unite to oppose the ruling government at the time. Afterward, they formed the current World Government, which has since maintained absolute control over the populace.
This is why these 20 seats can be seen as representatives of the 20 “founding” kings at the time, who have risen to power and established their own governing bodies.
The throne itself represents a declaration of peace that no one will ever dare to challenge the absolute authority of the world government. When reaching Reverie, all royal families must pledge not to ascend this throne.
However, prior to this, we have come to know who has been seated on this throne – Im-sama. This is the only person who has been able to sit on the throne, and it is suspected that this character has been around for more than 800 years and is possibly a descendant of the ancient royal lineage that ruled the world at that time.
Somehow, the “secret” of this throne carries immense power and could potentially make any kingdom that does not comply with the current government face dire consequences. Ultimately, this figure has become the king of the world with absolute power.
Furthermore, let’s take a look at the design of this throne. The throne has a distinctly unique shape, with a very tall backrest, adorned with the emblem of the World Government along with many white dots on the upper backrest. It features two arms resembling the shape of a serpent. It’s hard to grasp the meaning of the serpent in One Piece, but we can simply understand it as a symbol of royalty, representing those elevated figures who hold the power of life and death.
The most notable detail is on the throne itself, where we can observe the white dots on the black background; this has led many to envision it as a map leading to the ancient islands, potentially operating as a code that cannot be deciphered. The number of islands can range up to 33, which could be the total number of islands in the Grand Line.
The five circular symbols beneath the main seat represent the four seas and the entire Grand Line. The two circles on the left and right symbolize the Red Line, while the two circles above and below represent the two ends of the Grand Line, and the circle in the center, intersected by the Red Line and Grand Line, symbolizes Mary Geoise.
We know that to reach the New World, one must cross the Red Line, with Mary Geoise located above it, before proceeding to the five points that lead to the final island. Referring back to the image above, we see five starting points and below it, the circular symbol represents one part of the Grand Line and Mary Geoise.
All these details suggest that the land of Mary Geoise is holding numerous secrets, and it is also the source of conflicts in the world. If we can uncover them, then every question within One Piece from the past until now could potentially be explained.
