During the Fishman Island Arc, Madam Shyarly's in Coral hill predicted that a
man with a straw hat is destined to destroy the Fishman Island. They say Madam
Shyarly's prediction never failed. I can't think of any other besides Luffy
that is wearing that hat.

How can Luffy possibly do it? Because in the first place, he saved that island
and he's not that kind of guy who will do such a thing. Also, Fishman island
lies right underneath the Red Line and Mariejois. So destroying Fishman island
means destroying the capital of World Government, Mariejois.

Questions:  

  * How can Luffy possibly do it? (if he is the destined one because it lies beneath Mariejois and Red Line)
  * Could this be another straw hat guy? or her prediction is just wrong?

Straw Hat Luffy gonna destroy the Fishman Island?


According to this [wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Shyarly):

> She (Madam Shyarly) is also very accurate in her predictions as she
> predicted the Great Age of Pirates as well as Whitebeard's death. **She
> recently made a prediction that a man in a straw hat, who she presumes to be
> Luffy, will destroy Fishman Island. However, Luffy left Fishman Island
> without destroying it so that prediction has not come to pass. But since
> events that Shyarly foresaw can happen anytime from a day to a year later,
> there is still a possibility that Shyarly's prediction is not wrong yet.**
> By breaking her own crystal ball, Shyarly has given up on her scrying
> abilities.

I used spoiler tag because I think you are not finished to watch or read until
the end of Fishman Island Arc.

Strictly speaking there are at least 4 possibilities which are all possible:

  * Luffy's actions could bring about the destruction of Fishman Island due to his risky behavior. For instance: he claimed it as his own and challenged Big Mom for it so she could destroy it and it would be Luffy's fault.
  * Someone could destroy it impersonating Luffy in order to turn his rapidly growing group of allies against him.
  * Luffy could change the island so much that it could seem like destruction. He could, for instance, bring it to the surface or promote desegragation of the world so an island inhabited by just Fishmen/Merfolk is no longer a thing.
  * Finally, Luffy could be forced to destroy it for strategic reasons such as might be required in the "alter the Red Line so there is just one Giant Ocean and the world can be easily transversed" fan theories.

Ulitmately though, we don't know what will happened and any theories are
speculation. The residents of Fishman Island have been convinced that Luffy
will do them no harm, even though that is foolish, as Shyarly's prediction are
reportedly never wrong. We can assume from his character, however, that he
will not intentionally do anything to harm Fishman Island without suitable
recompense. We can also assume, however, that this important plot point will
not be forgotten and Oda will provide an explanation in the plot at a later
date.

Luffy does not destroy Fishman Island. However, it is a possibility that it
could happen considering that the islands of Raftel (where One Piece is
located _supposedly_ ) and Mariejois (the tenryubito homeland) are possible
arcs that could bring about a calamity strong enough to make that happen.

Right now it's simply too soon to say.

There are many things needed to be considered to answer this.

  * First is the unfulfilled promise of Joy Boy to Poseidon, this promise includes transportation thus they created the Ark Noah. Ark big enough to carry all Fishmen. The Fishmen kept on protecting the Noah believing that one day Joy Boy would fulfill this. In my speculation this Joy Boy is actually one of "D." Luffy's ancestor, this would make sense why Roger and Luffy was able somehow to hear Sea Kings. Leaving Luffy to fulfill this.
  * Second is the fact that Luffy accepted Fukaboshi's wish to "bring them to Zero" or surface of the sea because they're friends, as how Luffy said.
  * Third is the fact that the Straw Hats made a pinky promise to show Shirahoshi around the surface to see the real forest, racoons, etc.

All these facts "may" lead Luffy and his crew to bring the Fishmen to the
surface and this could be the very reason for Luffy to destroy the Fishmen
Island for some reason like the fishmen might refuse to leave their island
leaving Luffy no choice but destroy it would be a possibility. Because no
matter how I look at it an island kept at the dark bottom of the sea isn't
something nice, something Luffy might think himself. But since the species of
Fishmen are discriminated by the world, Luffy requires power before doing this
to carry and protect the species under his name like how Whitebeard protected
the island as a Yonko.

As for how to destroy the island. You could come up with many possibilies like
maybe popping the bubble that is keeping it afloat, or use force to the center
of the island enough to destroy it, or somehow talk to the Sea Kings, or a
fierce battle, etc...

Here's my speculation on why Luffy will destroy fish men island. It could be
because that fish men no longer has the need to live under water and they can
live amongst humans so luffy simply destroyed fish men island as it is not
needed.

Since Madam Shyarly predicted that a man with a straw hat would destroy
fishman island in the future, it cannot be ascertained from this statement
only what would be the state of fishman island or the world when this would
happen. Assuming the man was straw hat Luffy, it still opens up endless
possibilities. One of them could be and I personally prefer this one, the
fishman island is taken over by an enemy, either the world government or a
yonko and killed all the fishermen who were there and weren't able to escape.
Doing so has shifted the balance in power and if something isn't done
immediately, the world would come to ruin. This could be during the great war
which might happen at the end or before that.

These all are just theories and it all finally depends on Oda and well Oda
never takes the obvious way out.
