EVERYTHING We Know About JOY BOY In One Piece Explained! 

Also can we talk about the Thousand Sunny being the ship for Luffy, definitely some ties to the Sun God Nika. As well as the Going Merry being the first ship for the crew, "merry" being a synonym for "joy".

😍 It is so adorable that Joyboy might be connected to music and would explain why Luffy was so obsessed with finding a "musician" even before getting a cook.

Oda is truly one of the greatest worldbuilder, and mystery writer. Roger, Xebec, shanks, joyboy... One can make entire spin off shows based on these guys alone and we would eat it up.

Now I understand why there is a big straw hat frozen in the basement. The original straw hat owner/Nika user, Joyboy, wasn't a giant but he enlarges himself to become as big as how luffy did, at the same time his straw hat also gigantified due to his awakened devil fruit abilities affecting other things besides himself. They managed to get his straw hat when it is still under Nika's affect and decided to freeze it in order to study the ability, most probably intended to replicate the devil fruit into a smile fruit or to find a way to defeat the Nika user.

After 24 years, I don't know how Oda is able to keep all this to himself for so long. I couldn't keep my mouth shut this long and with this many secrets like Oda is doing.

Thriller Bark also had some subtle hints! Lola's crew referred to Luffy as their warrior of hope and thanked him for bringing the sun back to them. It's a long shot, but in hindsight you can see the parallels.

My theory is that Joyboy was the Sun God Nika, not that he ate the Nika Nika fruit, but that he actually was Nika. After he died people wished for him and that is how the Nika Nika fruit came about, and the reason why Luffy is special is that not only did he eat the fruit is that he has the will of Nika

I like the theory that Joy Boy wanted to be young forever so he could keep making people smile but it came at a cost of losing his memories every time he comes back

I wanna know if Shanks knew about Joyboy or any of what would happen. He was the one who stole the fruit to begin with and he could’ve known the true origins behind it as to why he put himself in such a dangerous position as to steal it. Joyboy and shanks are the 2 greatest mysteries in this series and it would be insane if they both connected somehow when reaching laughtale

Honestly a lot of times in Shows, the author comes up with these crazy plot twists and gives the characters insane powers ridiculously to keep the show going. But it seems like in the case of One Piece, Oda actually took the time to develop the story over a crazy period of time. If so he really is amazing and One Piece is like the best show ever.

I still like the theory that Joy Boy will turn out to be Luffy who time traveled into the past 😂

Oars possibly being the original Joy Boy kinda blew my mind. We all know that Oda loves to hint stuff in the most random ways possible, most of you remember that scene were Oars Jr was having a flashback to were Ace made him a giant STRAW HAT to protect him from the elements.

I always thought of Zunesha’s “crime” as being straight cap 🧢. I believe he did not actually do anything wrong. But the bad guys 800/900 years ago forced him to walk the ocean forever to persecute him for being friends with Joy Boy. Or, they manipulated the situation somehow to where it would justify him being sentenced to this punishment. Something like those things.

I think the Straw Hat (given it's color and shape) is an abstract symbol for the Sun as well. And given that one wears a straw hat when the sun is out, it's safe to assume that's by default a crown -- going with the Ancient Kingdom + Joyboy ruler bit. Overall, I am still excited by OP lore bc the story keeps me excited.

I've been in LOVE with One Piece for, I dunno, 18 years? And when the story is coming to a close and these themes of freedom and liberation, which are so dear to me, become so much more apparent, I can only like it more and more. Thanks, Oda.

It’s funny how most ships represent something crucial about the identity of the pirate captain and his crew, and the straw hat pirates have literally been going around the sea in a ship with a sun motif “The Golden Sunny” for about 15 years now. Perfect boat for a sun god.

Roger couldn’t read the poneglyphs Oden translated them for him. Which also means Odens dad can read them and might teach Momo how

I think Kaido wanted to die, and the only person he believed could do it was a person who was given prophecies that he would do it. He even said “the person who beats me is who is going to be Joy Boy.” The entire time he was building up Wano, not as a means of exploiting it because he could have taken over other parts of the new world to do that, but because he was preparing himself to become a necessary roadblock for Joy Boy, and wanted the next shogun to be his offspring so he pushed her to be his enemy.

I think Garp knows more than we think. In episode 887 he says " He's not done yet" implies that.

The reason the rubber fruit is so powerful is because of the power of imagination. By imagining you can do anything just like how luffy changed the ground into a rubber. It’s sooo powerful because it alters the fabric of reality itself and changes it.

I love this theory, and I hate to be THAT person, but technically, Robin isn't the only person in the world who can read poneglyphs. I wasn't sure if you were trying not to spoil anyone or not, so I held my tongue, but Oden's father can not only read them, he can write them as (if my memory serves me right) it was a tradition passed down through the Kozuki family for generations. Sorry, it was just a minor thing I picked up on, still loved the video and the theory though! I look forward to when we get to the point where Oda explains everything surrounding the void century and who Joyboy was and what he meant (I was eating up the lore-packed chapters on egghead). It's so exciting!

Zunisha is DEFINITLY, a Zoan user in their awakened form. Possibly Joy boy's 2nd mate.

I think it's important to squish the Will of D in this theory too. *IF* Joyboy was the *FIRST* Pirate, he had to have a crew. A crew who was separated when the ancient kingdom fell, The 2nd coming of Joyboy would have been a reason for the D's to pass down the origin and maybe plant an idea of resisting the 20 kings (World government) It's been 900 years and the ideals didn't quite make it as we can see with Garp becoming a Marine. it is also possible for them to have been separated across The World. I'd like to think that the older generations of the D's tried to get back together to wait for Joyboy. It would also explain the bad reputation the D's contain for chaos when in reality they *were* trying to become "one piece." (if you can call it that.) with popularity (Although if I'm not wrong the D's as natural enemies of gods, were hunted and I'm sure more than a couple of bloodlines were lost in the unwritten history.) but maybe, JUST MAYBE the new generation of D's are unconsciously trying to find each other like they're limited edition collectibles.

I'm still very new to the story, but is it possible that Joyboy's hat is enlarged because Joyboy himself stretched it out to fit an enlarged version of himself? Could he have had similar abilities to Luffy? Luffy has shown the ability to stretch inanimate objects around himself- perhaps that's why the hat must be maintained at a low temperature- rubbery materials are usually somewhat stable at a cold enough temp.

You forgot to mention that the 3rd Eye Tribe also can read the ponegliphs and fun fact other than Luffy/Roger/Momo/Oden the 3rd Eye Tribe members are born with the ability to use and hear The Voice Of All Things. 👍👍

I’d have to go back and rewatch the episode but I believe Joy boy was referenced before that during impel down. I remember Ivankov called “Luffy” Joy boy saying he’s “their” Joy boy because they were slaves/imprisoned when Luffy freed them.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Nika is supposed to save oppressed people and arrive on the coming dawn. Luffy saved a lot of enslaved people while traveling the world on the Romance Dawn. This could be why Luffy was able to be Joy Boy reincarnation rather than Kaido or the others he fought, because Luffy and Joy Boy/ Nika all not only had the same goals but they also took very similar actions.

I don't think the second coming of Joyboy is a prophesy. I believe that it's a historical (?) record. That's how Roger knows he was too early, and how various characters with knowledge of Roger's trip to Laughtale know things that are going to happen decades before they happen, but they just don't know everything.

Drum of liberation who is ready for gear 5 its here guys on august 6 lets goooo

Nice video! I have a cool theory where shanks definitely knew about the Fruit's true nature, but I truely believe Benn Beckman was the person to set this all up and have Luffy eat the fruit. It doesn't blatantly show it in the anime, but on Episode 4, Benn is the only one with the odd reactions out of the group. When he ate it, everyone was shocked and surprised but him, when luffy got kidnapped into the ocean, everyone worried but him, he smiled actually. A few other instances where it only shows Benn right before he ate the fruit, like he was anticipating it slightly. Also, although shanks probably didn't want Luffy to eat it right away aswell, which i highly doubt sense they just had it laying down right beside him, peep how the fruits power is to do whatever you imagine, and you know how when kids get their ears pulled they think their gonna fall off or stretch? In this case, he was upside down being man handled by his legs, shaking him up and down. Luffy could've thought his legs were gonna stretch or fall off, and that's what happened. His initial reaction of his own new powers, plus Shanks initial explanation (which i believe was set up by shanks to purposefully nerf him because he knows in order to be a perfect candidate for the sun god, you must go through things that Luffy went through later on to perfect it.) which he quickly told and gave luffy the idea that he is a rubber man. Another thing, Luffy never actually fit the description of (not being able to move in water), he's moved in water before, by desperately trying to swim from something, which you shouldn't even be able to do that with a DF, he just imagined he wouldnt be able to swim properly because of what shanks said to him when he ate the fruit, there for giving him that though that he wouldn't be able to which basically mean't he couldn't. The ORIGINAL Devil Fruit, which is the one luffy ate, was the original, and the rest were copies which actually don't allow the user to swim, not the Nika Fruit Luffy ate. It might be a stretch but honestly it makes a LOT of sense from the stuff we know now in the story. Thanks for reading.

I don't make predictions too often when it comes to One Piece, but I have a feeling when we get Zuneisha's full backstory and what happened during pivotal events of the great war, it is going to be one of the most emotionally impactful character arcs we have ever gotten from Oda. You used the term "loyal", yet he was cursed as a punishment we can assume was more or less a betrayal. I beleive that our Mink-toting friend was either duped, manipulated, or blackmailed into some form of action, lack thereof, or betrayal by the enemy (Imu or one or all of the kings of alliance of Nations that became the world govt). I believe this and/or the possibility that false information about what really occurred would skew the perception of a huge turning point event involving Zuneisha. And think about this, Joy Boy is essentially Luffy in spirit, the one character we know inside and out. Can you picture Joy Boy (Luffy) cursing or allowing a curse or punishment to be placed upon one of his loyal friends/nakama/allies? Of course not. This outcome reeks of a trifling little ratscallion, perhaps even by the BB/Rocks of that era. A giant elephant unlike any other creature who was close with Joy Boy and the allies of the ancient kingdom such Wano and the minks, being cursed to wander the season carrying Zou, probably having saved it from a terrible fate once the outcome of the war was decided? I can almost guarantee the Zunisha story or character redemption arc in the great War about to happen in the current storyline will be a sheer Rollercoaster of emotions and Impeccable storytelling by Oda, and when the story ends, Zunisha will be looked back on as one of the most incredible characters in the entire story!

I used to think Joyboy( former Nika) was a giant but not anymore Oda showed us that Luffy could become a giant in his awakening Isn't that enough foreshadowing that joyboy could indeed be a normal human ? The gorosei said that the only one to awaken Nika (other than Luffy) was joyboy Hence, like Luffy joyboy could also enlarge Luffy always blends and become friends with people (no matter what their race) I think that Nika has the power to enlarge (gear 5) and shrink(after gear 2nd) so that Luffy could get to know giants and dwarfs even better By this way , neither Luffy is a normal human nor he is a giant or dwarf He is a savior and friend for all

Its interesting how joyboy and the mermaid princess are the only known reincarnated characters in the series and how well oda depicts free will and fate/destiny working in a intertwined fashion and what joyboys or luffys true dream would mean by the end of the series

Joyboy: The most ridiculous guy to exist Thumbnail: ....wait.. is that Gabimaru from Hell's Paradise wearing a Strawhat???

Joyboy can create devil fruits out of imagination

[06:08] "After all these years in the series, we finally learned that Luffy's Devil Fruit wasn't actually the Rubber Fruit, it was a Super Powerful Devil Fruit called The Sun God Nika Devil Fruit." Yeah... Tell that to the fans that still believed that Luffy has Rubber abilities... I've argued against them many times in the series already... They still think it's just a Rubber Fruit when it was literally confirmed in the Mangas, several times now...

If you ask me, the reason JoyBoy was apologising to Fishermen is because of what Shyarly saw "Luffy will destroy Fisherman Island" and same reason why he left Noah for them...... Luffy will destroy the island when he destroy Mary Geoise which is located above the island in red line, when he destroy it Fisherman island will be destroyed as well, the destruction of these will make all Seas from (West - East - North - South) meet in one location and that location will be called "All Blue" which Sanji looking for. As for Roger saying he is too early, One Piece to me is a "Gold Ponyglyph" that talks about the past and the future, Roger found all Road Ponyglyph that leaded him to there and when saw One Piecei just a Gold Poneglyph he laughed, it told him about Joy Boy and Ancient Weapons will be born, Roger saw an Egg over there which is Uranus and since that egg yet to be born he knew it wasnt him, he then asked Shyarly when Mermaid will be born and she said 10 years to confirm what he learned from One Piece, then heard the whales talking about their rulers will meet in which Roger knew someone will born and will suprass him and thats Luffy. As for Ancient Kingdom, what Whitebeard said is that Land of Gods was high at top I truly believe the kingdom consisted of 3 parts, Land of Gods (sky) + Mary Geoise (Land) + Fisherman (Sea) Island all connected on top of each other living in peace, now I have 3 theories where this Land of Gods currently is, First is that Imu used her power to destroy it, second is that 20 kings and Imu destroyed the path leading to it so it still exists, 3rd is that where the Pangaea Castle located which as you can see it sort of surrounded by clouds unlike other parts of Mary Geoise.

Oden told Toki about the second coming of Joy Boy so that's why she sent them twenty years in the future when Joy Boy would be grown up and could help them with Wano.

Honestly, this had me wanting to put in that for a while now i’ve been thinking that one piece= one peace. As in joy, liberation, and everyone living together in one peaceful world. Not to mention, they named the place laugh tale,, to me that just means there wasn’t really a big treasure materialistically and whats on the island is more a concept. I shall wait and see if my theory (which others have probably thought of too 😅) is correct in a few years.

came after ep 1070 seriously man i know now what getting chills is!

One Piece Theory: Joyboy was actually the creator of the Ancient Weapons because of previously owning the Hito Hito No Mi: Model Nika therefore letting his own imagination think up the ancient weapons which is why he was in control of them and had them in his possession. Not guaranteed that he owned the Hito Hito No Mi: Model Nika but if he did it would make alot of sense and hint at the Ancient Weapons being in his possession which would make the reason as to why the World Government was so scared of him that they decided to wipe him off of all history.

Toying with the idea that Luffys straw hat works as a vivre card and connects back to the bigger one in imus possession and is slowly working it’s way back to the larger one, it’s possible that something might happen if Luffys straw hat were to connect with the larger one being frozen

One thing that hit me that you did not mention is that Luffy's father, Dragon most likely knows of the history of Joy Boy, considering Roger and Dragon are brothers either by blood or closely like how Luffy is to Ace and Sabo. Dragon literally has a group called the Liberation Army. Zunesha says the drums of liberation marks the return of Joy Boy. Dragon, luffy's dad, liberation. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

This was a really enjoyable video, it makes me realize how wonderfully written one piece is

Got it. So joyboy is luffy who achieved the ultimate freedom and became the pirate king, then travelled back in time and gave shanks his hat and told him to give it to the man he thinks will become the pirate king (i.e. himself) The treasure is the time travel fruit. And Rogers comment "we came too early" signifies that he was the only one who knew the full story and realised that Joyboy's adventure was still at the beginning... but he didnt know who Joyboy was... so he told everyone to go after the one piece knowing Luffy/Joyboy will be the only one to actually reach it. And when you finish the series it will make rewatching it have a completely different feeling because all the hints throughout will make a lot more sense

My theory is that the all blue might be where the grandline is destroyed by joy boy and the Noah is to protect the fish men because they live under the grandline and that is why joy boy apologized because he couldn't destroy the grandline, he was betrayed by Imu for selfish greed for power.

When Zunesea said He returned Joyboy!! I got Literally Gosebumps

Wait. Because what if Oda actually paralleled joyboys background to Odens? I personally believe Oda has been telling us what happened in the void century this entire time, not only that but history has actually been repeating itself. But now it’s being done the right way with the right people holding the right powers.

What I think is that gear 5 allow’s luffy’s imagination to become reality. Luffy has rubber based attacks because he still think he is a gum boy. But I think the end of one piece is going to be when luffy finds out his powers.

Did anyone notice in One Piece film Red (2022) , when Luffy was fighting Tot Musica, Luffy awaken his Gear 5 but it was first shown one year later in Wano ?

Sukiyaki is still alive, so he, too, can read the poneglyphs as the kozuki were the ones to craft all the poneglyphs, which means that he can teach momo now too, because Oden couldn't teach momo.

Doesn't Kaido say "You couldn't be JoyBoy either" because he was referencing himself? We know that Kaido has tried and failed to kill himself, a man only seeking death. We know Momo confirmed Luffy died and I can't remember the exact chapter or phrase but there was some tale or song where the lyric or something was like "returns with ones last breath" or something. Kaido was trying to kill himself because he thought he was Joyboy or could be? When Luffy finally died, that's why he said it, he thought it would be instant.

I just want someone to tell me how the even though the poneglyphs were indestructible, Roger and his crew(specifically Oden) were going around making extra inscriptions dropping messages.

I think Kaido being behind the smile fruits that force a smile on peoples faces. Was him trying to force Joyboy's legend to come true.

My prediction: The One Piece will actually be a hidden landmass, a liberated country for Luffy to rule

The original silhouette of Joyboy in front of the moon was a normal sized person, the size of Luffy. So was Joyboy really a giant? Rather I think his awakening is what made him big to where he needed a hat that size etc... I think he awakened on Long Ring Long Land, seeing the island is basically his D.F. (Freedom, everything's bigger etc..) I think the original idea of the Nika fruit was to get bigger. First you stretch and then when it awakens you can be as big as you want. I think Joyboy was a regular sized guy who wished to be big and the wishing tree heard him. So the formation of the D.F. was from a wish of a normal guy who wanted to be big. I bet Luffy's dream and the original Joyboy's as well as Roger's was he wanted to make people laugh. That's why Laughtale is the laughing story. I think he accomplished that with his story.

The reason why Zunishka was punished to walk is because he betrayed Joyboy 800 years ago and just like Skar when he betrayed white beard Joyboy forgave Zunishka and his punishment was to take care of the Mink people on his back and walk the earth otherwise he would have been killed by the now World Government (Imu)

what if Zunesha's crime was helping Lili and Joyboy spread the poneglyphs? considering how strong the bond between Zou and the Kozuki is i think it's possible. the poneglyphs are huge ass stone blocks so a big elephant could haul them efficiently

I am watching this vdo when joyboy has returned in anime ep1071😂....i am still satisfied that I haven't watch this vdo for fillers

Zunesha is so funny and cute to me. The fact that he was doing time and then randomly, people decided to build an island on his back xD

12:43 hold up, isn't this 1114?

There's a reason why shanks gave up his arm to save Luffy, he knew about the fruit, joyboy, and that they had been searching for that fruit for centuries

Honestly my theory is that he would be a giant since his all his buddies were large but I think the best part of my suspicions is that somehow the straw hat they all wear is the treasure he found and that's why he was laughing. Maybe Joyboy knew his reincarnation wouldn't be a giant

Episode 1070 brought on the Drums of Liberation quite nicely, I could not believe what I was hearing.

I think joyboy left a note in a box saying " haha you thought 😂 "

What if Im-sama is an actual devil who was the opposite of sun god nika, and is currently in Joyboy's body? Joyboy received an eternal youth surgery back in the day from the previous user of op op nomi, then an actual devil fully takeover joyboy's body in order to live in the land of the living, we all know or at least most of us know that literal "underworld" has been mentioned a few times in the series, brook is a great example.

Luffy's isn't a Rubber Man.... He's a CARTOON MAN! It's like The Mask with Jim Carey!

man you spoiled the end but the information was pretty good so thank you, the whole one piece is starting to take place in my mind slowly

Will of Djoyboy Remember, English was never Oda's strong point

kaido was probably rescued by xebec and before that when he was a child he heard the tale of joyboy the liberator of slaves and thought he is the one after rescuing him. and that is probably the reason why he was in his crew. after xebec lost kaido lost his joyboy and went mad doing the opposite things of what he wanted and becoming evil and enslaving others thinking that the real joyboy will come stopping him so he will finally be able to meet him

nico is NOT the only one who is able to read the poneglyphs

I actually heard a theory that the first Joyboy was the one called Bink, as in Bink’s Sake/Brew.

Honestly I shouldn't love this as much as I do........ But really well done! *Straw hat off to you sir*

Kaido, the man that never laughs and brings literal disasters to people thinks he.... JoyBoy

Whos watching this after the animation of Gear 5?

Gold Roger was known as the "Pirate King," the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and execution of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece-which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame-and quite possibly the pinnacle of glory and the title of the Pirate King. Monkey Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate ransacking villages for fun, Luffy's reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder: the thought of an exciting adventure that leads him to intriguing people and ultimately, the promised treasure. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach the most coveted of all fortunes-One Piece.

I guess the story will go moreeee deep from now on knowing oda he just wouldn't bring reincarnation and all for nothing I'm really looking forward to see what actually happened in void century.

I started watching one piece recently because of the art work on the kaido fight and noticed anytime luffy is about to do something “liberating” the sun always shines behind him. Seems like it was always foreshadowed? You’ve probably already talked about it I’m new here so idk lol.

Wait.. HOW did you get the gear 5 animation from the episode (which aired just this week) into this video that is 6 months old..?! Are you from the future?!

10:47 the sun god who 💀💀

I'm pretty sure Uranus wil just be Joyboy's thousand sunny, stretched out to become like 100x as large with luffy's awakening, which would allow him to permanently manipulate the size of objects. The stretched out island and giants were probably created by an earlier version of joyboy. Explains why the hat in IM's place is so large as well.

At the first time when Luffy fought against CP0 there was a discussion on Luffy's health. They talked about how Luffy's Gear attacks harms his body. Since this time it was never a topic again. Doesn't Gear harm Luffy anymore? Or could this a problem at the end of One Piece?

Let me blow your mind. Imagine if there is no Joyboy in past to begin with, ancient civilization saw future and Luffy doing Luffy thing.

Hold on. If Kaido knew Joyboy brought smiles to people, do you think that explains why the Smile Fruits are the way they are? What if he was trying to force the prophecy to happen?

Ok, guys. I figured it out. Joy Boy was the ruler of the ancient kingdom. He's a giant who donned a giant straw hat. His nakama are Zunesha, Poseidon and Imu (this is what we know so far). Joy Boy rides the Noah, which is pulled by sea kings thanks to Poseidon's power. But Imu gets jealous, kills Joy Boy, and erases his existence from history. And this, my dear friends, is what we know today as the hundred-year void. You're welcome

I don't think robin is the only one left in the world who can read poneglyphs , momo's grandpa (Oden's father) can also read them and will most likely teach momo. I'm sure there are others too!

10:45 sun god what?

Perhaps the most compelling theory is that JoyBoy is the origin of the world government having led an uprising against the ancient kingdom, however with how he saw the world going after his uprising he swore to overthrow the new world in turn hence how his power eternally avoids the hands of the world government.

Personally, I believe Roger wasn't wishing that he was alive 800 years in the past, but that he could live long enough to see the return of Joyboy in the present.

either Joy Boy is sun god nika who's powers became luffy's devil fruit but that's unlikely as the gorosei talking about it seemed like it was always a devil fruit and Joy Boy may have been the previous user of the fruit and luffy is the current user.

Could Zunisha be the first character to receive the immortality operation from the Ope-ope fruit?

Oars was also called "Devil" and was known as the "continent puller", something that really makes me think of the whole destroying the red line thing (to unite the oceans). For the devil nickname, it is typical of those opposing the "gods" (world gov). Also worth noting that the ancient kingdom giant robot resembles oars a lot

The details is just mind blowing. The symbolysm of the strawhat and skypiea's panel just wow.

Little slip there at 10:47 😂

Makes sense why Luffy legit saved his whole Crew and is helping them achieve their Dreams

Its wild to think Luffy went from having a devil fruit that people said he made into a good devil fruit to the best devil fruit. It seems Luffy, Joy Boy, and Nika are like a reflection of the holy trinity

One piece theory: what if shanks already knew that the gum gum fruit was actually the nika fruit and he stole it for himself however luffy ate it b4 he got that chance to eat it himself and he told luffy he just ate a rubber fruit bcuz a kid holding that much power and being aware could be dangerous also thats y he gave luffy his straw-hat bcuz he knew luffy was the chosen 1 it would also explain y he gave up his arm so willingly to show the feature generation that even in moments if trauma and destruction u can still be happy and thats how he correlates to joyboy bcuz luffy has the power to bring people together and bring hope to the ones who had their morales shattered

I think Roger said he is to early because he is born at the wrong generation. Maybe it is Luffy's generation is the exact time.

FYI, this JOYBOY Oda created comes from Javanese legend about king named JOYOBOYO. He is a legend because he can look the future (prophecy), almost like nostradamus in recent year

I love the idea of a dyson sphere, if you combine it with the hollow earth theory (Agartha)it would make sense, you just cant see it, but its there. My thought is that the one piece world is the Dyson sphere, and the sun is at the center of the one piece world, inside it, at its core (cosmic egg theory which is surrounded by a snake and when it hatches its a sun/sun god). The one piece world would be the egg, red line Jormangander, and the sun inside the planet would be the sun inside the egg, maybe made of aether or dreams. In the hollow earth theory there is a sun or geothermal source like Vega Punk talked about. It would also be surrounded by a ring or the redline/maybe grandline. Dyson spheres models have some in multiple spheres each spins at varying speeds causing variances in electromagnetic fields, which sounds like the navigation problem and crazy storms in the one piece world. All the universal models of one piece world are geocentric not helio, which makes sense in the hollow earth theory due to sun at center of planet. If true this would explain the sun tree eve's power source which is the sun, but if this theory is true, then the eve tree would be absorbing an transferring light from the center of the planet to fishman island and out to the top of eve tree. It along with sabody trees seem to breathe shown by the resin bubbles which could also spreed its particles out to rest of the one piece world, making the breath/voice of all things that connect the world together, maybe haki observation. Enies lobby might also be explained if the hole goes down to this sun which would make sense why it is always daylight there.
