One Piece Fans Plan to Venture Seaward Seeking the Secret

Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, penned the manga’s secret on a piece of paper, placed it inside a small container, and submerged it to a depth of 651 meters. This secret will be revealed upon the manga’s completion, when the container will be retrieved, confirming the idea’s long-held existence. A promotional video showcasing this project was released on the One Piece YouTube channel on March 3. However, fans are already mobilizing to locate and retrieve the container. Following the video’s release, many One Piece fans shared their discoveries regarding the container’s possible location. These clues include images with the Japanese coast guard, suggesting it is in Japanese waters, and the sun’s position. The video also specifies a submersion depth of 651 meters. Initially, Suruga Bay in Shizuoka was suspected, but fans now lean towards Sagami Bay, near Oda’s Tokyo residence. This location aligns with the container’s apparent lack of nearby land and absence of strong underwater currents.

One Piece Fans Plan Unified Hunt for Hidden Manga’s Grand Finale

The search’s next phase involves assessing the costs to travel to the location and retrieve the container. Fans estimate expenses for renting a boat, hiring five specialists, and covering fuel, insurance, maritime commissions, and other general needs. Estimates shared on X (formerly Twitter) suggest approximately 100,000 euros per day, although some believe success is possible through a united One Piece fan effort. Content creator IShowSpeed is planning a livestreamed treasure hunt for the container. The fan who conceived the hunt clarified that the goal is not to win a prize, but to destroy the document if found, warning others against finding it. Some claim to have already pinpointed Oda’s hidden message. Adding to the fervor, Mr. Beast, another content creator, has expressed interest in joining the hunt. Before long, some fans declared they found Oda’s hidden message within 13 hours of the video release, speculating that Suruga Bay might be the location. On March 5, 2026, Mandatory.com and author Ankita Shaw revealed the secret to be the manga’s grand finale, contained within a glass sphere. As fans actively search, the One Piece community eagerly awaits further developments in this unfolding real-world treasure hunt.
