One Piece Chapter 1119 reveals the first words from Joyboy

For a considerable amount of time, Joyboy has remained a mysterious figure, but in One Piece Chapter 1119, his first words in the story are finally revealed.

As the manga delves deeper into the Final Saga, the lore of One Piece continues to expand. In the Egghead Arc, a startling revelation about Joyboy, the enigmatic figure from the Void Century, was uncovered in Vegapunk’s message.

Initially introduced during the Fish-Man Island Arc, he has remained a prominent figure throughout the story. He shared a significant connection with the fish-men, who have been eagerly anticipating his comeback for 800 years. They view him as a savior who will bring about liberation to the world.

During the Wano Country Arc, his role in the franchise became even more significant when Luffy activated Gear 5. Zunesha, the colossal elephant that has roamed the seas for centuries, detected Luffy’s Devil Fruit awakening and proclaimed the return of Joyboy.

Despite this, it is only in the Egghead Arc where we are able to gain a better understanding of the historical figure. In Chapter 1115, Joyboy makes his first appearance as a silhouette and we learn about his close connection with the Iron Giant in this particular arc.
