![]() ![]() One particular group of humans formed an actual religion around the Lunarians, going so far as to wear ornamental wings much as real-world religious people wear the Cross, Star of David, or other symbols of their faith. This, along with their powers of flame, led to them being revered as gods and were mistaken to have come from the moon by humans. I believe that the Lunarians evolved on Earth, same as the humans, Fishmen, Minks, etc., but using their power of flight, they were capable of reaching the moon. The name "Lunarian" seems to have come from the Blue Sea, implying that the Blue Sea people also came to be under the impression that the Lunarians came from the moon. Personally, I'm inclined to think the latter. ![]() This brings up an interesting question: were the Lunarians only ever from the Red Line and were mistaken to have been from the moon because the Sky People couldn't have known about the Red Line, or did they actually live in both places at different points? We know that he was talking about the moon, but from the perspective of someone not of the White Sea, there's only one place in the Blue Sea that fits the description of Endless Earth: the Red Line, a supercontinent that perfectly encircles the planet. Their ability to fly could also explain why they seem to have once been considered gods, as evidenced by Whitebeard's conversation with Marco about a Land of Gods distinct from Mary Geoise that used to be atop the Red Line. This could also explain why their name implies that they come from the moon we've seen both from Enel's Maxim (ch.300) and the Automata's balloons (ch.453) that powered flight and flotation are both sufficient for traveling to and from the moon, so a race with functional wings could easily be seen making that trip provided they have the stamina for it. Furthermore, it would seem strange to me for Oda to give King functional wings and establish that he is a member of a unique race without connecting those two facts. ![]() What's more, the word "Lunarian" has been used in fiction to refer specifically to the denizens of the moon, implying that the Lunarians of the One Piece world may have originated from or migrated to the moonīecause King is our only confirmed example, we can't guarantee that the Lunarians are all winged, but given the fact that they once lived atop the Red Line, it would make sense for them to have wings, as that would allow them to easily travel between the Red Line and the Blue Sea. As this statement catches King's attention and Lunarians are ostensibly the only race naturally capable of igniting their bodies, we can safely conclude that King's self-igniting race and the Lunarians are one and the same.Īfter establishing that King is in fact a Lunarian, the first thing that should jump out about this race is their name: with the root word "lunar," it's immediately clear that this race is in some way related to the moon. ![]()
