Fans know that books are extremely important in One Piece. Oda has emphasized time and again how much value he puts on books, such as with the scholars of Ohara, and many other instances.

It is these books that actually go on to connect the dreams of Sanji, Nami, and Robin. All three of them acquired their dreams by reading books. For Nami, reading books and learning cartography is how she got her dream. Robin became a young scholar at 8 and had her nose buried in books at all times, fascinated by the history of the world. Sanji, while in captivity, read all sorts of books, be it about cooking or Devil Fruits, and of course, it is through these books that he found out about All Blue and made it his goal.

Laugh Tale Holds The Key To The Dreams Of Robin, Nami and Sanji

Laugh Tale Will Fulfill The Dreams Of All Three

Fans know very well that by the time Luffy becomes the Pirate King, the vast majority of the Straw Hat Pirates will have fulfilled their goals. But, some of them will absolutely need to go to the Final Island to accomplish their goals. Nami, Sanji, and Robin, in particular, will be very important at Laugh Tale. For Robin, Laugh Tale Will be about the Rio Poneglyph, which holds the true history of the world. For Nami, reaching Laugh Tale is about being able to draw a map of the whole world, including places that nobody can reach.

And for Sanji, reaching Laugh Tale means finding out the truth behind the wonderful sea that is the All Blue. All three of them will have their dreams realized here in one way or another, or have the path paved towards it. Sanji will know how to find the All Blue, Robin will know the true history, and Nami will know what she needs to do to finish the map of the world. It is through books that their dreams are connected, and it might just be through a book, possibly left behind by Joy Boy, that they will find out the biggest secrets of the world.
