We know that One Piece is the goal for Luffy to become pirate king, but I want
to know about One Piece itself.

Did One Piece named after Gol d. Roger discovered it or its already One Piece
when he discovered it?

Is One Piece named after Gol D. Roger discovered it?


I always believed that he said he left his treasure in "one piece" (which is a
phrase that means intact/complete/undamaged/undivided). As so little is known
and that is the only decription, it became the defacto name.

This implies that the popular name was created after Gol's death.

However, the nature of the One Piece treasure and specifically what he meant
is not fully clarified yet. This means we don't know if he said "one piece"
(intact) or "One Piece" (name for something or a play on words).

To fully answer this properly if this is a pun, you may need to find the
original untranslated wording and someone who understands English and Japanese
well. Alternatively, wait until it is revealed (in several years hopefully).

The whole story wouldn't be if it wasn't for the Gol D. Roger's assurance that
he really has his treasure unharmed and out of danger. He let people know that
if somebody wants it, he can has it as long as he finds it. It's assumed that
it is in the last island,Raftel, (so the "King of Pirates" could only have it
I guess) having in mind that he surrendered voluntarily so he could have
hidden it anywhere but the most difficult place, is the one that's hard to
reach.

From [One Piece](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/One_Piece)'s wikia page:

> One Piece (ひとつなぎの大秘宝（ワンピース） Wan Pīsu?, kanji read as "Hitotsunagi no
> Daihihō", **translating to "The Great Treasure of One Piece"** ) is a
> legendary treasure said to be of unimaginable value.

It could be either the treasure itself, or the place that treasure lays. Both
occasions leads that One Piece is something that Gol D. Rogger created by
gathering his treasure and leaving it somewhere.

So One Piece is just another big treasure (probably the biggest) of the seas,
but **Gol D. Roger gave it's name since he is the one who made it**.

One Piece could also refer to the Pony-glyphs, being the Pony-glyphs main
piece that connects all the others and makes sense out of all the others.

We know that Roger could read the Pony-glyphs as he signed the bell fry in
Skypeia. Robin comes to the understanding that all of these are connected,
some with information, some telling the location of the ones with information.

This could mean that One Piece is either a Pony-glyph, one of the great
weapons mentioned in the Pony-glyphs, or it could be whatever the person who
found it wants it to be.
