As the Egghead Island arc of One Piece approached its end, the manga was delayed, leaving fans on a cliffhanger. However, spoilers for chapter 1114 have been released, and it diverges from the expected finale. Instead, it reveals new information about Dr. Vegapunk’s message and Luffy’s connection with Joy Boy.
Dr. Vegapunk’s Message About Joy Boy
As per the spoilers of One Piece Chapter 1114, Dr. Vegapunk reveals that a young man named Joy Boy existed 900 years ago in the Ancient Kingdom. Moreover, he claims that Joy Boy possessed the unique ability of stretching, which has led fans to draw similarities with Luffy.
The confirmation of Joy Boy’s existence at the beginning of the Void Century is equally thrilling as it hints at the possibility that Luffy and Joy Boy might have shared the same powers.
Did Joy Boy and Luffy Eat the Same Devil Fruit?
Chapter 1044 introduced an intriguing development when Zunesha claimed to hear the ‘Drums of Liberation.’ During this time, he also declared Joy Boy’s return. To everyone’s surprise, the drums of liberation were in sync with Monkey D Luffy’s heartbeat, resulting in the awakening of his Devil Fruit power.
The Five Elders revealed that Luffy’s Devil Fruit was not a Paramecia type but rather the Human-Human fruit, a mythical Zoan fruit that allows the holder to transform into and gain the attributes of the legendary Sun God Nika.
Whoever possesses this power becomes the embodiment of the warrior of liberation and gains unparalleled freedom, limited only by their imagination.
It was clarified that Joy Boy is not a reincarnation that would come to life after 800 years. Instead, Joy Boy is a title given to individuals who aspire to change the world. Monkey D Luffy acquires this title after his devil fruit awakening and triumphed over the seemingly invincible Kaido at the end of the Wano saga.
In conclusion, while Luffy and Joy Boy share a connection in terms of their roles as liberators, they never ate the same Devil Fruit.
Is Joy Boy Related to Luffy and The “D” Clan?
Joy Boy is closely associated with the Ancient Kingdom, and the discovery of his poneglyph at Fishman Island has further solidified this link. There are speculations that Joy Boy was not only a member of the Ancient Kingdom but also its king and a founding member of the “D” Clan.
Shortly before the Ancient Kingdom’s downfall, Joy Boy sent his apologies to the Mermaid Princess for not fulfilling his promise. He had promised to guide “Poseidon” towards the right path, which would have led to significant changes in the world. He had planned to take the Merfolk to the surface to live alongside humans and put an end to slavery.
Despite his failure, Joy Boy entrusted this duty to someone else, and it’s pretty evident by now who that someone is. Comparing Joy Boy’s actions as a “D” Clan member to Luffy’s, they are remarkably similar, perhaps for good reason.
According to a popular theory, Joy Boy’s will is the “D” Clan’s will itself. Luffy is the inheritor of this will, making Luffy’s promise Joy Boy’s promise, i.e., to take Poseidon, aka Shirahoshi and the fishmen, to the outside world to stand as equals with humans.
However, this theory is probably incorrect in the aspect that Luffy bears Joy Boy’s will since it has been stated several times that he carries Gol D. Roger’s will.
