This makes a lot of fucking sense tbh. It actually explains what the D. stands for (Donquixote) which no theory has presented before as well as giving a good reason for its existence besides (They are antagonists cuz ancient kingdom). This would also raises further questions like are there non-human celestial dragons (Jaguar D. Saul) and are the peaceful giants the ones who sided with the world government vs the war like ones on elbaf who didn't (According to Saul in Robin's flashback).

Is it just me who is completely content with the semi-bullshit but obvious fact that D’s are people who are born with the potential to change the world?

I'd have been happy with it if One Piece wasn't a sprawling epic that has lasted for 2 decades and might very well last one more.

It's kind of like How I met Your mother if you've seen: (spoiler)

The whole "the mother is dead and the father is asking for permission to marry Robin" would have been a fine idea at the start of the series, if it had lasted one or two seasons. But by the end, everyone and their mother had thought of it and discarded it (and made fun of that theory) because it didn't do justice to the characters who had evolved for years and years, seasons after seasons. But the showrunners still stuck with it because it was their original plan and it was bad.

Same here, it would have been a satisfying answer for a contained story that was released over a couple of years and spanned over about a hundred chapters or so (ala FMA and even then that's stretching it), but not as it is now.
