One Piece fans question Luffy’s Haki feats after latest Joy Boy info reveal

This week, unofficial sources released the latest alleged spoilers for One Piece’s upcoming chapter, revealing what seems to be the conclusion of the Egghead arc. However, fans were primarily focused on a remarkable feat performed by Emeth, also known as the Iron Giant or Ancient Robot, in which he utilized Haki that had been stored within him by Joy Boy.

Despite some One Piece fans not delving too deeply into this matter, there has been a heated argument among others regarding the use of Joy Boy’s Haki by Luffy after awakening his Devil Fruit in Wano. While the manga has not provided any clear answer at the time of writing this article, fans continue to passionately discuss the topic online.

One Piece’s Latest Spoilers Spark Controversy within Online Fandom

According to the latest spoilers for One Piece chapter 1122, it is revealed that Emeth unleashes a powerful Haki attack which was previously sealed by Joy Boy. Although the specific type of Haki used is not mentioned, it is likely to be Conqueror’s Haki. This is reinforced by the fact that this attack causes all of the Gorosei members, with the exception of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, to be forcefully returned to their rooms in Mariejois.

Although it is understandable that fans are focused on the act of mastering Haki, there is also a strong interest in how this affects Luffy’s accomplishments in the New World. This has resulted in many online discussions and debates about Luffy and his possible use of Joy Boy’s Haki, despite the lack of confirmation on this matter.

Nevertheless, there have been instances in One Piece that could potentially serve as proof or foreshadowing for this revelation. A notable example is the anime’s depiction of Luffy’s Gear 5 Awakening, where the clash of gold and black Haki can be seen as Luffy attains the form for the first time. This is further reinforced by Kaido’s subsequent remarks, as he fails to recognize this Haki even after just having battled Luffy and experienced his Haki abilities.

Despite the speculation and beliefs of many, it should be noted that there is no confirmation that Luffy has been utilizing Joy Boy’s Haki instead of his own. As of the writing of this article, the manga has not officially confirmed this in any way.

Fan Reaction

Despite being disproven, some fans of One Piece continue to insist that Luffy has been utilizing Joy Boy’s Haki throughout the series. This misconception has sparked discussions and comments among the fandom.

“Y’all remember when Luffy’s Haki ran out during his last defeat against Kaido. We were surprised by where he got this Haki from; it turned out to be the Conqueror’s Haki of Joy Boy.😭😭😭😭,” posted one fan.

“So Luffy been using JoyBoy’s Haki all this time 😂,” claimed another.

“”Real one piece fans” gon have to explain this to us now, are we sure that Luffy is able to be in the top tier convos now?,” questioned a third.

Some are also quick to mention that nothing has been fully confirmed or proven, while also highlighting the potential flaws in the theory that Joy Boy stored his Haki within his own Devil Fruit.

“Haki is literally the counter for devil fruits, what sense make to you that a devil fruit has haki? Use ur brain please,” asserted one netizen.

“Kaido was just surprised cuz Luffy was dead, everyone else recognized Luffy’s Haki,” pointed out another.

“#ONEPIECE1122 anyone that actually thinks luffy has Joyboy haki is insanely slow

Joyboy would have to seal haki before he ate the devil fruit. And this isn’t proven so idk why people are acting slow on purpose..,” posted a third.

Undoubtedly, the origin of Luffy’s Haki while in his Gear 5 state will continue to be a highly discussed subject among the community. This will only intensify due to the upcoming hiatus in the series. It is hoped that upon the manga’s return after the Obon holiday break week, fans will receive some clarity on this matter.
