JOYBOY is just Luffy from beginning to end (The truth about JOYBOY)

Currently, many people believe that Joy Boy refers to the first pirate from 800 years ago.

However, the Joy Boy I'm referring to is a mysterious figure from a legendary tale that transcends history.

Therefore, I will use all capital letters below to specifically refer to this mysterious figure.

JOYBOY = The origin of the legend

Joy Boy = The first pirate from 800 years ago

The Origin Legend of JOYBOY :

A mysterious boy who wore a hat, possessed a free body, and loved to laugh, but whose name and appearance were unknown.

One day in the future, he defeated all those who enslaved and exploited him, ushering in an era of liberation filled with the dawn of hope.

People didn't know who he was, but they believed the message he brought.

Therefore, based on his comical appearance and free body, the first Devil Fruit in history, the GumGum Fruit, was created.

The basic outline:

There has only ever been one JOYBOY in history, and that is Luffy eight hundred years in the future.

Joy Boy was a believer in the JOYBOY legend (or perhaps he named the legend after himself).

Whether thousands of years ago or eight hundred years ago, the Joyboy people waited for was always Luffy.

Luffy's feat of defeating the World Government, Imu, and Blackbeard was somehow transmitted back to ancient times.

This formed the JOYBOY legend.

Those who have tried to become JOYBOY throughout history have strived to prove that they are the one.

Joy Boy eight hundred years ago was the closest to success in history.

But at the last moment, he saw an even more precise vision from the future.

Therefore, regarding whether to use an Ancient Weapon to perish with Imu, he chose not to use it, fighting to the death on his own.

He preserved his allies, resources, and the Ancient Weapons for the truly Great War.

The essence of the Great War:

The Great War doesn't simply refer to the 100year war that took place 800-900 years ago.

Broadly speaking, it refers to the ultimate war spanning thousands of years, a struggle between all enslaved people and those seeking freedom.

Narrowly speaking, it refers to the Great War that began 900 years ago and continues to this day.

The Five Elders once mentioned that if they could obtain this technology, they could end this protracted war (which is why it's said the Great War is never truly over).

When Luffy finds One Piece, the final battle of the Great War will begin; the previous 800 years were merely a series of strategic maneuvers orchestrated by both sides.

Joy Boy possesses all the information, precisely knowing when Luffy will set sail, arrive in the New World, and find One Piece.

Therefore, he has arranged for allies scattered throughout the world, waiting for Luffy to enter the New World and gain their support.

For 800 years, the war has continued, with countless pirates with "D" in their names attempting to replicate this path.

Although most of them have failed without exception, each attempt has advanced the progress bar.

Each round of pirate wars for supremacy escalates the strength of the pirates, bringing them ever closer to the One Piece.

Ultimately, by the Rocks era, the situation had spiraled out of control, but Rocks sought a shortcut to launch the Great Pirate War.

Then came Roger, who had truly completed his voyage, theoretically allowing the Great War to begin.

However, Roger ran out of time, so he devised a plan to usher in the Great Pirate Era, awaiting the arrival of JOYBOY.

It wasn't until Luffy's arrival that all of JoyBoy's allies were united.

The true meaning of One Piece:

It's not just about a treasure or a potential continent;

it also refers to a closed timeline;

an incomplete timeline, a puzzle;

that needs someone to fill in the crucial piece of the story;

Luffy is that crucial piece.

At this point:

The entire One Piece story has actually already ended in the manga world. The narration repeatedly deviates from the main timeline, mentioning "a major event in the future."

In other words, the One Piece story is narrated from the perspective of someone describing what happened to others.

Therefore, it's highly likely that the people reading this information are either from the ancients or people after the future grand finale.

Luffy's entire adventure might be titled:

The One Piece: Dawn of the World

The author maybe is Robin.

This means that One Piece is a book that truly exists in the world of One Piece, and the stories we see unfold from its perspective.

Similar things happened in different interludes of Wano Country.

Ultimately, it was proven that the stories of Wano Country were actually what Hiyori and the storyteller mentioned when they were telling stories to the children of Wano Country.
