One Piecehas had a lot of mysteries and lore that still capture readers' interest now. From the Will of D, Devil Fruits, Void Century, and more, the final saga is continuously dropping hints, fueling the theories and answers to the questions. However, one of the earliest and most important plotlines might be close to being resolved:the mystery of the Poneglyphs.

In chapter #1122, as the Strawhats and Giant Pirates were on the verge of losing to the Five Elders, the Iron Giant, Emet, emerged from the sea andunleashed a huge wave of Hakithat undid their transformations and sent them back to Mary Jeoise, and knocked out every marine below the rank of Admiral.

It was revealed that this was Joyboy’s Haki, proving thatHaki can actually be stored in an object, expanding the scope of the power system. This development gave credibility to the theory that thePoneglyphs are indestructible because they were imbued with Hakito eliminate all possibility of them being destroyed.

The Poneglyphs Have Been Imbued With Haki By Wano Artisans To Make Them Indestructible

The Relics of the Void Century Are Still a Huge Mystery

The Poneglyphs are ancient indestructible cube-shaped stones created by the skilled craftsmen of the Kozuki Family in the Land of Wano. These stones were used to record coded messages about the history of the Void Century. Imu revealed thatNefertari D. Lili played a role in scattering the Poneglyphsaround the world, although it is still unknown whether this was intentional or not. The existence of the Poneglyphs posesa significant threat to the World Government. Despite their desire to destroy them, it is seemingly impossible to do so. One possible reason for their indestructibility is that they are imbued with Haki.

This concept is in line with established facts in the series, withthe Black Blades being the best example. These legendary swords are nearly unbreakable because of the constant imbuing of Haki, which permanently gave them a black color. It has already been revealed that the people of Wano have knowledge of Haki, which they refer to as Ryou. Furthermore, Boss Hyoguro demonstrated that the people of Wano have other applications for Haki, making them very proficient in Haki and possibly being able to seal it into objects.

Although the actual contents of the Poneglyphs are more important, the process of how they were created is also very interesting. It seems that the creators of the stones foresaw the censorship of the Void Century and Imu’s erasure of history. It could also give readers an idea of just how advanced the ancient Wano, known as the Country of Gold, was, since leaving a permanent message on an indestructible tablet is very hard to do.
