In fact, speculating and theorizing is one of the best parts of being a One Piece fan. However, Oda himself isn’t particularly fond of this. Oda doesn’t like it when fans theorize about the future events of the story and correctly predict the future outcomes. This is something that the author has mentioned on multiple occasions.

Perhaps, this makes him feel like he has to do something differently. It could also lower fans’ excitement for the future of the story. Either way, Oda has made it clear that he doesn’t like it, and this has even led to some popular Japanese theorists to quit.
