The question
Who is “the man with the burn scar” — Hinokizu — the unseen holder of the fourth Road Poneglyph, and is he the same World Government figure said to sail an all-black ship wielding a vortex-summoning Devil Fruit?
Leading theories
Community theories only — none of these are supported by anything on-page in this vault’s corpus; they’re recorded here as attributed public speculation, not vault claims.
Theory A — Jaguar D. Saul survived Ohara
- Claim: the burn-scar man is Saul, presumed dead in the Ohara buster-call 22 years ago, having survived carrying visible fire-scarring from the attack.
- Evidence leans on: nothing on-page in this vault’s corpus; a widely-circulated public read (per ScreenRant, GGcorp coverage).
- Confidence: low.
Theory B — Scopper Gaban, the missing Roger Pirate
- Claim: the burn-scar man is Gaban, the Roger Pirates’ crewmate whose fate was never confirmed on-page for decades.
- Evidence leans on: nothing directly — and this vault’s own open Gaban prediction already places him alive on Elbaf under the alias “Mr. Ya,” functioning as a knowledge-handoff conduit rather than a ship-sailing Poneglyph holder — a real tension this theory would need to resolve, not evidence for it.
- Confidence: low.
Theory C — Monkey D. Dragon
- Claim: the burn-scar man is Dragon, leveraging the Revolutionary Army’s reach and secrecy to sit on a Road Poneglyph unseen.
- Evidence leans on: nothing on-page; a public read (per ScreenRant, GGcorp coverage) built on Dragon’s established pattern of unseen influence.
- Confidence: low.
