Monkey D. Dragon Was a MarineThe Theory Gauntlet
Community theories, adjudicated. Each one is taken from where it actually lives — the forums, the subreddits, the video essays — presented in its strongest form, then run through an adversarial court: dedicated skeptics attack it, an advocate rebuts, and judge panels score what survives. Their theory, our verdict — every claim chapter-cited.
