At the same time as the latest One Piece 1114 spoilers have landed online, many of the assumptions that readers have formulated over time about the manga Eiichiro Oda seem to have shattered: both for what they suggested regarding the fate of the world, and for the naturalness with which they conveyed unexpected information about Nika And Joy Boy.
Even before reading the previews, it was logical to think that the message spread worldwide by Vegapunk would not only lead to a “revolution” in autarchic status quo founded by Im ei Gorosei – and therefore in the very daily lives of individual citizens located in various parts of the world – but which would have taken on a historical valueabove all for the radicality with which he promised, from the beginning, to reconfigure the “mythological” past of the manga. And starting from some precise words of the scientist, it seems that what is being remodeled here is the History (the one with a capital S) of piracy, since Joy Boy, according to the revelations outlined by the brilliant doctor, is to be considered as the first warrior to have taken the sea route: but above all as aseparate entity from Nika.
In the past we wondered, in fact, if in the story of One Piece Joy Boy had been the only owner of the Nika Fruit, without his identity necessarily having to overlap with that of the divine being from which he drew his powers . And from this point of view, precisely there phrase uttered by Vegapunk referred to at the beginning of the article, may have confirmed an important assumption, on which until now one could only speculate: or that Luffy’s predecessor is a “mere” living embodiment of Nikato be considered therefore as an “other” figure e independent from the God of the Sun, whose properties it replicates, and perhaps also the libertarian spirit.
The joke with which the scientist begins his speech, that Joy Boy is a “figure with properties similar to those of Nika, the Sun God of Elbaf” seems to suggest, in the absence of further confirmation or denial, that the legendary warrior had simply embodied the image of the divine being, whose origin dates back, in all probability, to a time prior to that in which Luffy’s predecessor existed. But the sentence in question, if we think about it, offers the opportunity to other important reflections relating to genealogy of the mythological pirateand in particular to the race in which he wrote his genetic code: that of the Giants.
Moreover, the historical complicity that linked the Warrior of Liberation to the mammoth beings is known: a relationship that could be further endorsed from the scientist’s assertion, according to which Joy Boy, as an “image” and mirror of a divinity from the island of Elbaf, he would also be considered a giant. This reflection would also explain the gargantuan dimensions of the straw hat seen during the Reverie: especially if that object had truly belonged to a “pachydermal” figure like Joy Boy.
