One Piece has prompted numerous theories; some of which have even come true. The identity of a certain man is one of the best-kept secrets in the One Piece universe. One of the leaders of the Underworld, “Big News” Morgans was revealed to be the owner of the One Piece world newspaper, the World Economics Journal.

He is the media’s ruler, the brains behind every tale that the people of All Blues read. Morgans is in charge of the One Piece World Press. And since he is the person behind every story, true or false, that power should not be undervalued. But there’s more to Morgans than this.

Morgans Might Play An Important Role In The Near Future

Morgans first appeared in the Whole Cake Island Arc when Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom, invited him to her tea party. As indicated by his appearance, Morgans looks like a tall human-Albatross hybrid with a long beak and small eyes. He has a lengthy tail and wings that are almost like human arms.

Morgans is expected to play a crucial role in One Piece in the upcoming future. A recent fan theory on Instagram by @1pieceop speculates that Morgans is actually a former crewmate of the infamous Gol D. Roger who might be secretly helping the Straw Hat Pirates.

This connection stems from a fan idea that has been gaining traction recently on several One Piece-related social media groups. According to this fan theory, Morgans was invented by MrBushido56, a Reddit member, and was once a Roger pirate.

According to the theory, everyone in the One Piece universe knows that Gol D. Roger was the first to sail and investigate every island on the Grand Line, even the final island, Laugh Tale. He even discovered Joy Boy’s long-lost One Piece treasure on Laugh Tale.

Hence, he was crowned the King of Pirates, but where did the evidence come from? This is where Morgans comes in. According to the theory, Roger was certain that he and his group would undoubtedly visit Laugh Tale and locate the One Piece. So he hired a journalist who was attempting to advance in the journalism field, and it was Morgans who accompanied Roger on the later trip to Laugh Tale to verify the veracity of the spectacular conclusion to Roger’s pirate life.

What Is Morgans’ Real Identity?

Morgans is a user of Devil Fruit who has consumed the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Albatross, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, according to Eichiiro Oda in an interview. Additionally, Morgans is always in his Human-Albatross hybrid form, according to Oda. With the help of this Devil Fruit, he can gain strength, the ability to change into a hybrid form of a human and an albatross, and other talents.

Oda has kept Morgan’s human form a secret for a very important reason—to surprise fans with a major reveal later in the series. Morgans’ hybrid human-albatross form is thought to resemble one mysterious member of Roger’s crew. But this is only a theory about the One Piece world’s news mogul.
