Darren Watkins Jr. (better known online as IShowSpeed) surprised fans when he suddenly announced during a live broadcast on March 4, 2026 that he would search the ocean for the famous treasure from “One Piece.” The moment came when he played a video on his YouTube channel titled “IShowSpeed Beats Resident Evil: Requiem.” Streamers reacted to a special video posted by the official One Piece YouTube channel on March 2, 2026. The video celebrates the comic’s global sales of 600 million copies. In the video, series creator Eiichiro Oda writes the secret of One Piece’s treasure on a piece of paper and seals it in a small box. The box was then thrown from the ship into the sea.This simple act quickly turned into a huge mystery online. Fans began speculating where the box might be. Some people even try to study the video frame by frame. During the live broadcast, IShowSpeed watched the clip and was excited by the idea of finding it.At 15:35 of the live broadcast, he told viewers:“We gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta find One Piece, bro. I gotta find One Piece. Chat, I gotta find One Piece, bro. Chat, I gotta find it. Chat, what part of the ocean did they dump it in? Should I do a stream to try to find it. Chat, Pacific? Atlantic? Arctic Ocean? What? Chat, which ocean?” The video quickly went viral on social media, with fans laughing and wondering if the streamer would actually attempt such a crazy live streaming adventure.

The mystery grew even bigger the next day when a Reddit user named XilLive posted a lengthy analysis on the Reddit subreddit r/OnePieceSpoilers on March 3, 2026. The user took a closer look at the official video and shared several clues that may reveal where the chest dropped.According to the first clue, this drop is likely to occur near Japan. The user stated that the Japan Coast Guard generally does not allow dumping of objects into the sea unless special permission is obtained.They wrote:“Clue 1: We assume it’s off the coast of Japan, on Japanese territory. Judging from the ship, the crew, and the fact that dumping it in the ocean is illegal, I’m guessing Oda has permission from the Japanese Coast Guard and the treasure is tracked so they can find it later.”The Reddit user also noticed something about the sunset in the video. They said the camera appeared to be facing southwest, with no land visible on the horizon. This detail indicates that the ship was some distance from the coast of Japan.Another observation focuses on the seafloor shown briefly in the clip. Users speculate that the box may be located about 600 meters underwater, where the seafloor has soft sediment and calm currents. The user came up with his final guess after considering all the available evidence. They believe the treasure may be located in Suruga Bay, a deep bay near Tokyo. The site is also famous for the research activities of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.Still, the Reddit user admitted the theory might not be perfect. They wrote that the video could even be staged and said fans should take the clues carefully. Currently, the true location of the One Piece Box remains unknown. But between fan speculation and IShowSpeed’s wild idea of scouring the ocean live, the mystery has only made fans more curious.
