One Piece: Voice of All Things Explained – What It Means and Who Can Hear It

The Voice of All Things has once again come into the picture after its usage in One Piece Chapter 1164. It also marks the first time humans were shown communicating with each other using it. It shows that the Voice of All Things isn’t limited only to animals, objects, or Poneglyphs. Let’s break down how it works.

What is the Voice of All Things in One Piece?

The Voice of All Things is one of the most mysterious powers in One Piece. It allows the user to hear voices and messages from beings that cannot communicate in normal speech, such as animals, inanimate objects, or even ancient Poneglyphs. This is not just hearing sounds, but more of a telepathic connection that transcends language.

It is an extremely rare gift, one that only a few people in the world possess. The Three-Eye Tribe is the only known race to be born with the potential to awaken it naturally, and even then, they must train to access it fully. For others, like Luffy, Roger, and Momonosuke, it manifests unexpectedly, often during moments of high emotion or crisis.

When someone with this ability is nearby, anyone else who uses the Voice will hear a strange, powerful sound that feels alive on its own. Its strength and clarity vary from user to user: while Gol D. Roger had the power to sense the “voices” of the Poneglyphs and the Sea Kings, he could not read the ancient text itself. 

However, Kozuki Oden could clearly understand these voices, and later, his son Momonosuke inherited this same ability. He could hear Zunesha both in Zou and during the Onigashima battle.

In contrast, Luffy’s experience has been similar but less controlled: He first heard the Sea Kings near Fish-Man Island and later Zunesha at Zou. Recently, he even heard the Iron Giant, Emet, during the Egghead arc, proving how this ability connects him to ancient forces beyond human understanding.

While Luffy struggled to hear Zunesha’s voice back in Zou, he was easily able to talk to Emet at Egghead Island, showing that he has now fully mastered the Voice of All Things.

Only a few individuals are known to hear the Voice of All Things, which includes: Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Luffy, Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Momonosuke, Zunesha, Emet, Joy Boy, and even Rocks D. Xebec

He used it in his pleading with Roger and Garp before his tragic death at God Valley. What’s even more surprising is that both Roger and Garp could hear Rocks’ final plea, showing that this mysterious “voice” can transmit raw emotion across impossible distances.

Big Mom once claimed that this power could awaken in members of the Three-Eye Tribe once their third eye opens, such as Charlotte Pudding. But since she is half-human, her ability may be weaker or dormant for now.

Why Is the Voice of All Things Important?

The Voice of All Things is more than a rare gift; it is a key to communicate with beings of the Void Century, such as Sea Kings, Zunesha, and Emet. Even Rocks D. Xebec used it in his last moments to reach out to Roger and Garp, pleading to be released from his torment.

As One Piece is now in its Final Saga, this mysterious ability might show how the world itself “speaks.” The Voice of All Things connects hearts, history, and destiny, a power that may ultimately lead to the truth behind the Void Century.
