Gecko Moria’s Secret Lineage Reveals Him To Be A Poneglyph Reader

Affiliation: Cross Guild, Blackbeard Pirates

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 449, “The Mysterious Four of Thriller Bark”
Story Arc	Thriller Bark

Moria was recently revealed to be from the Kozuki clan.

Unexpectedly, it emerged that Gecko Moria was actually a covert member of the Kozuki Clan, earning the title of Ringo’s secret warrior who engaged in combat with Kaido. Given the Kozuki Clan’s significant power and their initial creation of the Poneglyphs, this ancient wisdom for deciphering and comprehending their written language has been preserved through generations. As a result, there’s a chance that Moria too possessed such knowledge.

I shall have the Pirate King’s throne!

It’s evident that Oden and Sukiyaki had mastered this language, with Sukiyaki even teaching it to his grandkids. Given that, it’s likely that Moria received similar education in his youth. In modern times, Moria was initially captured by Blackbeard, only to be later rescued from Hachinosu by Perona. Some speculate this rescue was part of a plan to recruit Moria into the Cross Guild, due to Perona’s connection with Mihawk.

Charlotte Pudding Is A Member Of The Three-Eyed Clan Who Can Read Them

Affiliations: Blackbeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 651, “A Voice From the New World”
Story Arc	Fishman Island

Pudding is a member of the Three-Eyed tribe.

Charlotte Pudding is a significant member of Big Mom’s crew, not just because she is the 35th daughter but also due to her affiliation with the Three-Eyed tribe in the world of One Piece. This unique tribe possesses an innate ability: when they reach their full potential, they can supposedly hear the Voice of All Things. With this power, they are capable of fully comprehending and interpreting the ancient scriptures known as Poneglyphs.

I’m not a puppet, mama…

Currently, Big Mom had arranged for Pudding to undergo an awakening, but upon her departure to Wano, Totto Land was invaded by the Blackbeard Pirates. Consequently, Pudding was captured and now finds herself imprisoned in Hachinosu’s dungeons, destined to serve as the designated Poneglyph reader for the Blackbeard Pirates. However, she has yet to unlock her hidden power, but once activated, it will guide her crew towards the One Piece.

Nico Robin Has Spent A Lifetime Uncovering The Secret History

Affiliations: Straw Hat Pirates

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 114, “The Course”
Story Arc	Whisky Peak

One of the smartest characters in the world.

In the expansive realm of One Piece, few characters have faced such a tumultuous journey as Nico Robin. Much of her hardship stems from her relentless quest for knowledge, particularly the secrets concealed within the world’s history. This insatiable curiosity has made her a constant target for agents of the World Government who aim to apprehend and eliminate her, resulting in numerous instances of deceit and treachery from all walks of life.

Fool who don’t respect the past are doomed to repeat it!

Over time, Robin navigated towards the Straw Hats, a group that has allowed her to realize her dreams completely. At a young age, Robin mastered reading Poneglyphs, making her one of the world’s foremost experts on the Void Century. Given her prominent role in the series, it is highly likely that she will be the one who ultimately reveals the truth about everything.

Kozuki Oden Was One Of The Greatest Characters In The Entire Story

Affiliations: Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 920, “I Love Oden”
Story Arc	Wano

Oden is the only one who could read the Poneglyphs and had the Voice of All Things.

Among all the characters attempting to find the elusive One Piece, it is likely that Kozuki Oden would occupy a prime position on the list. This assumption arises from his connection with the Kozuki clan, founders of the Poneglyphs, and his lifelong dedication to understanding their language. Additionally, he was graced with the unique ability known as the Voice of All Things, which allows him to comprehend not just words but even inanimate objects.

My name is Kozuki Oden! And I was born… to boil!

To date, Oden stands as the sole individual capable of accomplishing these two tasks, explaining his status as the greatest interpreter of the Poneglyphs. While Roger was graced with the Voice of All Things from birth, he failed to utilize it effectively compared to Oden. Moreover, it was Oden who orchestrated the discovery of the One Piece treasure by the Roger Pirates, elevating his importance within the franchise’s narrative.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
