Why Do One Piece Characters Have D in Their Names

What does the D stands for in One Piece?

Devils are seen as enemies of god, and so the middle initial, D, stands for “Devil.” An interesting note here, would then be how Zoro addresses Luffy in the beginning of their adventure; he calls Luffy the “son of the devil” (I’ve also seen it translated to simply “devil”).

What is so special about D in One Piece?

The people carry the letter D in their name and are said to appear from time to time, bringing great catastrophe with them. The D is also known as the natural enemies of the Gods in One Piece; the Gods likely being the rulers, known as the Celestial Dragons.
