Warning: Contains spoilers for chapter #1096 of One Piece. Joyboythe identity of A piece has eluded fans for many years, however, the revelation of Kuma’s tragic past as well as the legacy and persecution of the special race to which he belongs, the Buccaneers, may be the subject that finally fans need to piece together not only Joyboy’s identity but also a mysterious large devil fruit.
Recent chapters of One Piece have revealed the existence of a curious race of Buccaneer, who have a surprising connection to the Sun God Nika, who may hold the key to several mysteries. In particular, Chapter #1096 reveals that, in addition to the serious crimes they are said to have committed, the Buccaneer race may have been wiped out because they shared Nika’s rebellious ideology of equality and freedom .
While this information may seem modest on the surface, the history of the Buccaneers as well as the nature of their crimes against the World Government could have serious implications and could even explain the origin of the fruit. Nika and Joyboy’s identity.
Joyboy could have belonged in the Buccaneer race
As user Joyboy becoming a Buccaneer also solves several mysteries including the racial cleansing of the Buccaneers as the Government may fear the race will create a new Joyboy, as the story of Nika has been passed down between them over many years. generation.
What’s even more interesting is that Joyboy’s Buccaneer identity could also explain the mysterious giant straw hat seen in Marijoa that has been puzzling fans ever since it appeared. While the large size of the hat led fans to suspect that Joyboy might be a giant, the straw hat appears to be too small to fit a normal giant, suggesting it would be more suitable for a giant. Buccaneer, at least based on Kuma and his size. dad.
Furthermore, as Saturn suggests in Chapter #1096, the tragic fate of the Buccaneers has been determined by history. If history is truly written by the victors, in this case the World Government, one could argue that the Buccaneers may have once sided with Joyboy and the Great Kingdom during the Void Century. Unfortunately, they ended up losing and had to suffer the same lifelong punishment as Zunesha, who was known to be Joyboy’s companion. That said, it’s possible that the Buccaneers’ true crimes may run much deeper than simply following Joyboy’s ideology or having created him.
Nika is essentially a legend brought to life by The Buccaneers
The Buccaneers’ true crime may have been bringing the troublesome Sun God Nika, the liberator of slaves, into existence through his Devil Fruit. It is implied that the Buccaneers may have made up the original legend of Nika considering how the legend has persisted through many generations of them. According to Vegapunk in Chapter #1069, the devil fruit represents humanity’s evolutionary potential with all power stemming from the desire to obtain it. Therefore, although it is unknown whether the Buccaneers created the Nika fruit, their strong desire for a savior may have unintentionally made the existence of the Nika a reality by causing the fruit to be born. .
As Vegapunk points out in Chapter #1069, the possibility that the fruit is a manifestation of desire also defeats the purpose of arguing for the existence of a god, since anything is possible. In fact, the Sun God Nika may have been a myth for a long time. The term ‘god’ is said to be a very widely used term in One Piece and is used not only to refer to Nika but also to refer to the Five Elders, Enel and the Heavenly Dragons. The term often denotes dominance or power rather than supernatural omnipotence as seen most clearly in the case of Enel and although various deities have been mentioned throughout One Piece, their existence is always a question.
Furthermore, the simple fact that this fruit is classified as a ‘Mythical Zoan’ shows that, like all the mythical creatures that the Mythical Zoan is modeled after, Nika is exactly that— a legend. Of course, it’s still possible that Nika did exist, but he could be a human who was canonized into the legendary Nika. This ability could also explain why Saint Saturn was able to call Luffy Nika instead of Joyboy when he first witnessed the Gear Five on Egghead in Chapter #1094.
The pirates were destroyed to erase Nika’s existence
One of the recurring themes of One Piece is the idea that a man truly only dies when he is forgotten. The possibility that Nika comes from a legend created by the Buccaneers could not only explain why the World Government wiped out the Buccaneers, but also why they so recklessly erased Kuma’s individuality as a living person. the last remaining remnant. Doing so could be an attempt to end Nika’s legacy and erase Nika from existence by erasing knowledge of him. Although Who’s Who has previously mentioned other slaves having heard of Nika, the Buccaneers may be the only ones left who truly believe in his existence, and their eradication would transform Nika effectively into a forgotten legend.
Overall, Joyboy’s identity is definitely connected to the Sun God Nika and the Buccaneer race, and this fact has the power to shape Luffy’s fate in the future. Having said that, although inferences are drawn regarding the Buccaneers and JoyboyIts identity is speculative at best, the Buccaneer race actually has the best explanatory potential A piecethe biggest mysteries.
