One Piece: Joy Boy and the Mysteries in the Story

Although Joy Boy has been frequently referenced in the story, the exact nature of his involvement with the Ancient Kingdom remains unspecified. Considering his importance to the plot and his connections to key characters, it is plausible that he held the title of king in the once magnificent and dominant Ancient Kingdom.

The reason for the World Government’s attack on the nation remains unknown, but it is plausible that the animosity of the 20 allied kingdoms towards a single powerful country led to the formation of the World Government.

Among the most coveted artifacts of the Great Kingdom are Uranus, Pluton, and Poseidon, alongside allusions to Joy Boy and a curious “commitment,”indicating his significant standing within the kingdom.

Joy Boy may have also been responsible for the emergence of pirates and the iconic title of “Pirate King.”In the story, piracy is closely linked to the pursuit of freedom and rebellion against oppressive rulers, so it is possible that Joy Boy was the pioneer of this movement, setting sail after the downfall of his kingdom.

The evidence that Joy Boy was an early form of Nika and a carefree, adventurous individual strongly implies that he could have been the original pirate to explore the oceans.

The mystery surrounding the D. clan may be attributed to their connection with Joy Boy, as they are often referred to as enemies of the gods, who are represented by the powerful Celestial Dragons. It is believed that Joy Boy’s kingdom was destroyed by an alliance formed by the Celestial Dragons.

Despite Joy Boy’s strong opposition to this oppressive organization, it is likely that numerous clans or families rallied behind him in support. The use of the “D”moniker by his comrades could signify their unwavering loyalty to Joy Boy and his cause.

It is believed that the song Bink’s Sake was possibly created by Joy Boy, a pirate who took on the name “Bink”as his alias. The song’s strong themes of loyalty, hope, and perseverance are thought to have originated from Joy Boy’s desire to keep his message, cause, and spirit alive. He may have used Bink’s Sake as a means to inspire future generations of pirates to rebel against the World Government.

The true treasure, One Piece, could potentially contain a strategy or knowledge that could aid his chosen successor in overthrowing the oppressive World Government and liberating the world.
