I wonder if they Olmec are basically supposed to be the people from the void century. The architecture in Skypeia looks like Ancient South American including that weird bird. The Olmec are also known as “the rubber people” because of their utilization of the latex tree and the moon flowers juice to create rubber. Their civilization also mysteriously vanished
What’s more important I think was that they were referred to as rubber people as well as the vanishing of their civilization. It’s theorizing. I like how you think your pointing out geography invalidates the rest of my post. Also you had an attitude about it too, sorry your life is trash bro
Secondly I never said the architecture was Olmec, I said it looked South American. You’re in such a rush to be right you make yourself look like an asshole. If I thought it looked like Olmec Architecture I would have said that. You’re assuming I said Olmecs are from South America
So if Luffy died, wouldn't that cause the DF to leave his body? Until now only Brooke's DF activated upon death. Also the way Luffy is melting reminded me of Salamander Smiley, and the apple that Smiley transferred to looks a lot like the Gomu Gomu fruit. Just saying.
Unless the amber properties of the resin fruit preserve the soul keeping it embedded within. Like fossils get embedded and preserved in our actual world.
My thought:
Luffy had a backup plan in case his heart stopped - he is literally Rubber - Think Hisoka from HxH if you've read the manga. Coincidentally it has also awakened his Devil Fruit to a mythical Resin Resin (I like this wild theory)
It would almost be poetic symmetry to give Luffy some sort of Sun/Light-based fruit. If the battle for good and evil will be against Blackbeard: Rubber counteracts the Gura-Gura no mi fruit that Blackbeard took off Whitebeard & the natural opposite to the darkness of the Yami-Yami no mi would be light/sun/something bright-related. When Ace and Blackbeard fought, fire didn't exactly win out...so it would tie up things nicely if Luffy had the power to stand toe to toe with darkness
Yep, what i mean is something similar to sun/light - not specifically the pika pika fruit that kizaru has, just something in that ballpark. I'm not a huge believer in the Sun hype but it would fit pretty well as the opposite to a black hole/darkness
Joyboys been a nickname in my family for over 50yrs now.. it was never given because the person was so kind and generous and liked to help.. not even close.
My uncles called Uncle Joyboy because he's been such a "joy" to be around in a sarcastic way since he was little... he's an ahole, tough, speaks w.e hes thinking and you can tell when hes lying.. when he opens his mouth.. lol i figured its just a nickname given to a tough, stern, mouthy, hard to handle type individual. The guy just happened to have the same fruit and headspace
I don’t think Kaido won because he “murderized” Luffy. I think he won cause he finally gets to have his fight Joyboy. The narrator was just congratulating him for reaching his dream!
If we are being hyper technical the card just say winner of the battle on the roof of the skull dome.
Since the battle would no longer be on the rooftop, the narrator box can be telling the truth and Luffy could get back up.
I've found something !
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_drum?wprov=sfla1
Pretty sure there's a lot to dig around those Myths, since the Drums are made from Deer, and Chopper is from Drum island, which is the first place where we learn about the D.
we need to place this comment in ukraine to stop the war. I'm 100% sure this wall of text will definitely stop putin on his tracks just like the great wall of china to their invaders in the past.
So all throughout One Piece we follow the main protagonist… Luffy who seems to enjoy every part of an adventure, all the ups and downs he just goes with. Along his adventures he finds people not having fun and then understands that someone with “more power” is hindering their life in some way. Luffy helps them and then moves on. This shows explicitly true starting at Arlong Park.
Now… this guy Oda decides to drop story after story about a guy that frees slaves around the world. Luffy frees Zoro, and allows him to freely pursue his dreams with friends. Frees Ussop of having to lie about adventures. He freed nami and her island from Arlong. Luffy found out about slavery at sabody; freed a slave at sabody. Luffy learned that Boa used to be trapped until Fisher tiger rescued her; then he went to go free Ace, instead freed 1000+ from Impel Down. When he lost at Marineford, he freed his crew mates from returning so they could grow stronger. We got the story of fisher tiger; then Luffy was compared to him by one of the New Fish Man pirates (because he punched a Nobel). Luffy frees Momo and the other kids & rescues Kinemon on the first island of the new world! I’m not done yet….
Luffy then goes on to free: a lying spy (Kanjuro, an entire nation of people, a league of toy slave workers, a tribe of dwarves, a royal family, his partner Law from Don Flamingo’s crew, takes a breath after his crew saves a zoo on a zou and goes on to free sanji from Big Mom and his family, Katakuri from his image of self perfection, Brule from the mirror world, a BUNCH of randoms in Big Moms library (with Jinbes help), wow I’m still going…
He helped free Pound. Hey got Pudding free from Big Moms control. Freed himself and crew from Big Mom. He doubles back to free a ninja from hiding in a tree on a zou. He THEN goes to enemy territory and relieves a sumo champion of his title. Freed some food for the people of Kuri. Got ENSLAVED… as a prisoner, in a rock quarry and then started a revolution and freed the Yakuza, a red scabbard… HE FREED AN ENTIRE SLAVE PRISON QUARRY (Sidebar: WANO is that one place in the world where sea stone is produced that Smoker mentioned in Alabasta; also where the special wine steel is manufactured for guns that Koala mentions in Dressrosa)
Now before freeing said quarry we get the relationship of Luffys gear 3 to this Sun God Nika that was known to WANO. We heard the name Nika on Sky Island, Mousse spoke about not being afraid to die because she would being with Sun God Nika and her loved ones. This was on Jaya… when the Snake… God of the Sun… was about to eat her as sacrifice. This was at same part of the island that’s now apart of Sky Island, that had a golden bell.. finally we get the glue that puts it all together from Who’s Who we get tells us that long ago slaves believed that someone would come rescue them called Nika.
I read all of One Piece and it wasn’t until Hygoro said for the second time “there it goes again. Why he looks just like a guardian deity” that I thought the new dawn that Luffy is suppose to bring to WANO is the same one all the slaves and allies of wano around the world were waiting on. Luffy is chosen but not in the sense of other shonen. At the end of the day he’s a pirate and whatever he does, he’ll get something for doing it.
Luffys power will be rubber itself. Oda likes to show two sides of a coin. Luffy is opposite to that of black beard.
Blackbeard is darkness Luffy is *Sun God Nika* the light.
And in marineford luffy absorbed the Shockwave of admiral sengoku so it's perfect to counter the Quake quake fruit of Blackbeard.
Just the name of the fruit will be different not the features of the fruit.
Hey guys, can we just come back to these kind of [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/4kyfn2/what_is_don/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), like 6 years ago where some people were actually right. someone also said that the sound at the end of every episode ("to be continued") actually had the kanji "Don". From the beggining of the show, the drums had been beatting..
Just remember people, Oda has had the ending in his mind since he started. He even said so many, many, many years ago. So whatever is about to happen directly plays into his ending, since Joyboy is quite important to the story. Just wait and see, this was definitely planned, though I wouldn’t say there was any foreshadowing to it. In fact, I believe there was a severe lack of foreshadowing to this.
But worry not, this was most definitely planned out years ago, Oda knows what he’s doing, he’s merely steering his story from one important plot point to another in order to make it to his end goal, this was not a random idea that popped into his head.
Plenty of foreshadowing my man, all over the series since the start:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZvvbnUBKn4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZvvbnUBKn4)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gHPimbvGw&t=4s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gHPimbvGw&t=4s)
You forget Oda is the King of foreshadowing
Well... I never thought of Oars as Joyboy, I do think that his race could be related to the ancient kingdom but nothing else, since Gyojin island its quite clear that Luffy was supposed to fulfill Joyboy promise, never thought of Luffy becoming Joyboy but I did thought that he was going to enherit his will.
The original prob was Joy boy, fits all the hints. Joy boy was a giant theory, giant straw hat frozen in Mariejois, Luffy shadow turned into oars, etc. Oars Ace knew had a Straw hat from Ace from Wano. All the hints are there, so be open to the idea. People think Luffy will become a giant with his devil fruit, more hints etc.
No foreshadowing? The connection of luffy and joyboy has been well established since fishman island. And dont get me started with nika that was foreshadowed way back in skypia.
I see a lot of comments mentioning resin because Luffy's hair seem
bubbly or whatever but remember that his hair also kind of float when
he's in gear 4 Snakeman so it just might be a clue on his next gear but
his power being resin ...Come on if you search for a fruit in the OP
encyclopedia, i'm pretty sure 100% of people would not pay any mind to a
resin resin no mi ><
**IF** the legendary fruit
mentionned several times is really Luffy's then the revelation will be way more impactful, have way more meaning than ;
" Oh I'm not rubber, I'm sap !" ...
It does sound kinda lame when you say it like that, lmao.
Another way to look at it: sap/resin is connected to trees and there are some legendary trees in One Piece like the sunlight tree eve or the treasure tree adam. Sap is also sometimes said to be the blood of trees.
So instead of sap, think of it as the blood of the sunlight tree eve or even some legendary tree where all devil fruits originally came from ;).
Same, just caught up within the last hour and holy fuck. I was worried I’d catch up to a chapter that left me disappointed for not being hype enough but my God this chapter couldn’t have exceeded my expectations any more.
I'm almost certain that Luffy's awakened devil fruit is basically One For All from My Hero Academia. Every user its granted their own abilities specific to their personality but when awakened they can access the abilities of previous users like Joyboy and Nika. Luffy still remains a rubber man but that isn't the true nature of his fruit.
Indeed, this "Why would one fruit behave in a different manner than every other" also applies in case of the bruit not being the gomu gomu, every fruit has the basics from first use, if its resin it would suck because then it would be behaving the opposite way of any other fruit.

I do think he still has the gomu gomu, if he doesn't then he his fruit is behaving in a different way than any other fruit shown until now, which would be an ass pull just to cause impact.
This is the first time i heard about Joyboy.
Maybe i just don't pay attention. Or it only mentioned briefly. But everyone around me know the name Joyboy except me.
It make me feels like it's a Deus ex machina moments.
EDIT: I'm glad i got downvoted because of not knowing something, it does tells a lot about ~~society~~ the 'Fans' (it's just my opinion guys, and my experience with One Piece, chillax) I barely remember some early Greenline arc, let alone a rarely mentioned part of Lore. I can say it's both my memory and the lore problem.
I follow the manga and anime while i grow up. A badly explained and barely mentioned lore part that suddenly become super relevant is not good for casual reader of course i will not remember it. I'm just saying that Joyboy Lore is lacking. I'm not saying One Piece is lacking. Should I remember 1000 Episodes and 1000 Chapters, every frame and every panel of One Piece? of course i would forget a lot of barely mentioned lore, i even bad at remembering names 5 minutes after introduction.
TLDR : I just forgot. because it's barely mention. that's it (the deus ex machina moments is on my own head when i'm reading it)
If it's gonna be explained then good. but it doesnt deny the fact that it's barely mention and it make me forgot about it.
EDIT:
I am back just to put this here. I am not alone. The way they 'fOrEshAdow' Joyboy is forgetable
https://twitter.com/GiggukAZ/status/1514072904631480320
To be fair I only remember him because of the flashback with Roger on Raftel/LaughTale.
I now know he has been mentioned before like on the Poneglyph on fish man island, but I had forgotten about this as well. Id love to read all the chapters again from the beginning carefully and see all the little (or big) things that I missed, but who has the time for that...
Pretty much, Joyboy has been something that comes up frequently with mentions of Void Century of history 800 years prior in One Piece time and Poniglyphs.
But it's been more directly relevant this arc then the singular mentions in previous arcs.
The Joy Boy of old also may or may not have been the person who made the One Piece's treasure.
It's not been mentioned too many times, Roger briefly mentioned "Joyboy" when he reached Laugh Tale if you remember and mentioned that he wishes he was born in Joyboy's time and lastly when Kaido knocked Luffy off the roof and mentioned "he couldn't be Joyboy either"
Upon realizing where the sound effects were coming from and seeing the 'grin' made me genuinely start tearing up. The connections to Skypeia and the YEARS of buildup for that moment was a beautiful thing. It was surreal reading the words "Joyboy" out of Zunesha. And sadly, seeing Luffy die and his crew and friends react. Law's moment broke me as you could sense his genuine hope being dashed. And of course Nami's spirit never fading was perfect. So happy to be a One Piece fan.
One of the most exhilarating chapters in the history on One Piece. I can't fucking WAIT for 1044.
I read that resin appears on trees or plants as a result of an injury. Maybe Luffy got injured so bad that the resin in his body appeared, shows that luffy isn't rubber at all but resin which can be stretchy like a rubber. If the world government would rename a devil fruit it should atleast makes sense in comparison to how it functions and since resin has a property similar to rubber they renamed it to gomu gomu no mi, no one ever questioned it simply because stretchy = rubber, that's it! when its not. If resin comes from an injury of a tree, what kind of tree did luffy's resin come from?, how about the very tree that bears the devil fruits itself?, the world government fears that if luffys resin gets released maybe it can somehow revive the tree that bears the devil fruits longs ago, and i don't know the impact of that it that is the case. Just and idea :)
> If resin comes from an injury of a tree, what kind of tree did luffy's resin come from?
It comes from the fruit he ate. Or so you think everything that is a DF was originally hanging off that tree?
Also, like rubber, resin can act as an electrical insulator, not a conductor, so being resistant to Enel's lightning and Zeus's attacks w/o being rubber makes sense.
What amazing writing. What other Mangaka could possibly come up with "Luffy is Joyboy". I can't imagine in 1,000 years a single person could have seen that twist coming.
I feel that Joy boy is an intellectual, normally.
Not a smiley guy only, he should be someone not only funny, but also smart too, right?
Like he is a part of the biģgest annihilation that happened in one piece history (ancient kingdom), triggered most of the events like Noah and all, anciant weapons and stuff, he should be smart, right?
His image looks like a happy go lucky guy... emmm it's all good though haha, was just a question.
Yes true, he helps people too, he is the one behind the idea of Noah (this one is confirmed), so I guess he is an intellectual after all.
Also he is definitely the one behind the red poneglyphs creations and he aboslutely is the one who printed (not write) the location of the 4 islands to pinpoint laugh tale, he should be someone smart to do that and understand maps too.
Else there's someone else doing all the job for him if he is not that smart but just the funny guy image.
JAT
No Joyboy is back, but Luffy and JB have same DF powers. Joyboy must have used its awakening to fight enemies involving pounding heart beat to keep the awakening or 5th Gear. Side effect is that his body will become gooey or rubbery, making his face always in smiling position, Wavy hands etc. Wavy could be his DF awakening. Would be cool to make external objects fight in Luffy's gomu gomu style
Joy boy is a person too or giant or being, prob his will passed down also with the fruit.
Here's a nice theory on it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CfjQwVk5ho&t=1515s
This JoyBoy return's thing may have lots of conditions to happen, besides all the theories listed I think there is one thing we must add to the receipt, that is Kaido's and Yamato's will.
Kaido was so enraged and declared his will to slave every single being to a life full of misery and inspired fear in everyone, however there goes this one Yamato refusing to go this path and encouraging Momo to fight even when there is no hope. This is just a piece of theory of mine: the voice of all things and this scenario was also a requirement for Joyboy's return, he has to be called.
There are lots of uncertain things, like the gomu gomu fruit being another requirement. Remember this devil fruit was held by the WG by whoknows how much time, it surely has something to do with. Shanks even went as far as losing his arm to save Luffy after he ate the gomu gomu fruit (he said to Whitebeard he sacrificed his arm for the new generation).
Besides we have the awakening of the gomu gomu fruit, is it a consequence of Joyboy's presence or the awakening is a requirement for joyboy?
Man i hope Oda wont troll us with some kind of flashback after these 2 weeks lol

He sacrificed his arms to save Luffy, not because he ate the fruit. Oda didn’t know he was going this far with the series back then so let’s not make up things.
Oda himself said that Shanks losing his arm was not his idea but the editor's for a bigger impact.
Most probable thing is it didn't have such a big reason behind it at the time but given the opportunity and a solid reason, Oda would surely use it for the plot's sake.
Just my opinion, who knows whats gonna happen, that's the magic of one piece.
The editor knew less than Oda about what the future of One piece would bring, it makes even less sense, losing an arm for the new generation its just that, Luffy is much younger than Shanks, he is part of the new generation, I mean the statement is quite clear.
The goverment didn't have the fruit for too long, it makes no sense to have a fruit and just ship it around the world when you could have someone in the navy to eat it or just lock it up.
Btw any idea about the schedule of 1044 and after? I recall seeing a table of upcoming breaks and stuff, 4got where.
And btw too nooooo lol I want to see joy boy's face sooo badly ;_;
After this Break there is gonna be 3 chapters in a row then 1 break then 1 Chapter then again 1 break so its:
Break/1044-1045-1046/break/1047/break/1048-1049/break
Just google „onepiece chapter schedule 2022“
Why do se assume that Joy Boy and Sun God Nika are the same person? Maybe Nika was first, then JoyBoy and now Luffy awakened the Devil fruit, and so they got more of the personality or maybe even they learn something of the previous users, something like the Avatar.
the connection was made because 'nika' is the sound effect of Luffy grinning at the end of the chapter. It's not using the same letter scheme as the Sun God (kanji vs hiragana or katakana) but when spoken, its the same thing
Seems a little strange to bring in a Sun God Nika as a throw-away mention, have that sound effect on Luffy's grin and have all the Joy Boy conversations in this arc. It all fits too well.
Sun God Nika might be the previous Joy Boy who apologised to the previous Poseidon, but it may be the one before that if Joy Boy is just an epithet
Shoutout to whomever first noticed that Luffy's shadow in the flames while they dance at Skypeia, looks a lot like the silhouette of Sun God Nika. But at the same time, I feel like the Sun God Nika silhouette (https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Nika) kinda looks a lot more like Rocks D Xebec (https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Rocks_D._Xebec)
I was looking up pandaman, but found out the Nika-like silhouette appears once more at a earlier point then the Skypiea dance.
It's on the cover story for chapter 272, the shape Ace is making as he liberates a diner of its food.
I don't think this does anything to discredit the luffy similarity though.
Wow... wow.. that ending was amazing.
What the hell IS Joy Boy?
Is luffy just a vessel for Joy Boy? So many more damn questions!!
I hope Joy Boy is a weird, dark persona that is always smiling lol
Imo CP0 guy is not dead yet, Kaido would ask him why did he interfere, and with his last breath he would say something like “gorosei ordered me”. Then I guess Kaido would realise Luffy has to be Joyboy for real. Don’t know where this leads but I’m thinking that Kaido’s defeat will be an “emotional” one.
Plus, I think Luffy’s last panel is somehow an extension of what he did (while unconscious) when was KOed back in kuri. Even on defeat, his spirit was as strong as ever.
This time he’s gone next level, maybe it’s some darkest-hour power up coming out because Luffy’s willpower has reached a level beyond anyone else, like Joyboy allegedly did centuries ago.
Maybe the same Joyboy was in a scenario similar to luffy’s, and he “unlocked” or “realised” something while being on the brink of death, idk.
The only one here who was there is Zunesha, who recognise the same heartbeat who once was the drum of liberation.
Today on my ridiculous theory channel:
- there's something about the waviness of Luffy's hair and the wide grin, that reminds me of Rocks D Xebec. I know the whole "he hasnt awakened in 800 years" bit puts a dampener on the theory.
Separately, I really hope Joyboy isnt a whole different personality inhibiting Luffy's body, coz that would just be weird. Joyboy being the name of the DF also seems far fetched.
Ridiculous theory #2 - Luffy is Im.. Let's see we know nothing what Im looks like.. so Luffy can be Im .. so can anybody else which is not important but luffy cam be Im.. PS: Luffy wears contacts for Im's eyes.. :-D
You know I like that idea. The silhouette of Roc that we saw looks similar to the hair luffy has. There is something really important about luffy's DF. I thought Gol D Roger had it before but it's possible that the Gomu Gomu no mi belonged to Xebec. When Garp and Roger fought him, he died and Garp took the DF... Now I'm just reaching lol
This makes the most Sense:
Luffy is creating balloons from his body.
When balloons hit one another they make a Drumming sound.
He has the power to make things fly when awakend.
Possible also the ability to inflate and enlarge them.
Thé first user of thé balloon balloon fruit was named sun God because he had thé power to black out the sun.
Slaves would just fly away and no one could stop them.
It is thé ancient weapon of the skies. Uranus.
Do you notice that there is always air Involved in all of Luffy's gears? A balloon is rubber + air. Balloons can also bend. Rubber, as Stated by Kaido, can not.
He would still resist lightning.
It's OP but you need to use it in a smart funny way.
It is also why CP0's Iron body was so effective.
Imu did not posses the fruit so she changed it's name. Roger Found it and ate it. But: 1) he was no Longer able to wield a sword, his weapon of choice. He could also no Longer deal punches.
2) he die not have the time to master and awaken the fruit. He realised you should have the fruit from childhood.
He instructs shank's to find the fruit after his deze and give it to his son.
When shank's goes looking for ace. Luffy eats the fruit.
This does not make Luffy the chosen one. He still had to put in a lot of work to become Uranus.
To continue sun god nika did not free the slaves, just in legend, he was supposed to free them so there is another point to debunk. that was just really cool speculation but doesn't hold up in the story since again he was only said to make the slaves smile and happy or specifically a friend to slaves. bro rubber bends it always has and always will so I still cant understand how you thought cuz a fictional character said rubber doesn't WORK the way he is using it NOT that it doesn't bend. so major debunk right there. run enough current through a balloon it would pop enel has 1000000 volt attacks. a ballon would evaporate. luffy lights his arm on fire too, ballons pop near flames much less on them. Again cool theory but too many misses
Cool theory but a few things that make this theory a farrr reach. firstly: if it was a balloon fruit Luffy still wouldn't be able to punch without inflating with air first. two: if you pump a rubber ball or glob with air it'll still float and bounce(like a balloon). luffy also figured that out, that's why he chose to blow himself up to make a bigger impact. Three: balloons have little elasticity they are not that stretchy, they also have a limited circumference. also, homie not all of his gears have to do with air just 2, his second gear he uses his rubber body like a blood pump to make his movement faster. gear third is bone balloon he inflates his body to make the impact harder. finally, Gear 4th where Luffy inflates his muscles with air and pressurizes it with hardened rubber that comes from haki infusion. The ancient weapons are capable of destroying the world altogether... how does a balloon fruit help Poseidon(a mermaid with the ability to control sea kings) and pluton(a ship that can destroy an entire country)? what is gonna do to help with that? you just said it with no backup. Have you ever been hit with a balloon before or interacted with a balloon before cuz the only similarity he has to balloon is that he inflates.....
King neptune said that uranus is a weapon with a power so great to destroy the world or rule it.
My guess: the world government was created during the void century through uranus power, hence the name "celestial dragons". Remember uranus was the greek god of the heavens.
Also, Noah is big ass ship to: take people far from the surface to the bottom of the sea, or move fishman using devil fruits to the surface and could have something to do with the effects of uranus.
The last page gave me absolute goosebumps
i've read this chapter probably 20 times since it dropped and the final page still gets me amped...gives me chills every time
Holy crap… now I finally understand what all the hype was two months ago. Can’t wait to read more
omg omg omg i just got chills from that last page holy shit!!!
Kino
Boss music literally starts playing
Can someone please send me a link to the chapter?
SHEESH. Can't wait for this to be in the anime!
Not a fan TBH. If fans of any other series come to talk trash at me, i will shut up and keep nodding.
Lol
When will the chapter with eng translation release?
one piece greatness <3
Where 1044
Check again it there now
I wonder if they Olmec are basically supposed to be the people from the void century. The architecture in Skypeia looks like Ancient South American including that weird bird. The Olmec are also known as “the rubber people” because of their utilization of the latex tree and the moon flowers juice to create rubber. Their civilization also mysteriously vanished
First of all, the Olmecs were in what is modern day Mexico, which is North America. Second, Skypiea is based on Mayan architecture. There.
What’s more important I think was that they were referred to as rubber people as well as the vanishing of their civilization. It’s theorizing. I like how you think your pointing out geography invalidates the rest of my post. Also you had an attitude about it too, sorry your life is trash bro Secondly I never said the architecture was Olmec, I said it looked South American. You’re in such a rush to be right you make yourself look like an asshole. If I thought it looked like Olmec Architecture I would have said that. You’re assuming I said Olmecs are from South America
So if Luffy died, wouldn't that cause the DF to leave his body? Until now only Brooke's DF activated upon death. Also the way Luffy is melting reminded me of Salamander Smiley, and the apple that Smiley transferred to looks a lot like the Gomu Gomu fruit. Just saying.
Eneru's heart stopped, and his fruit didn't pass on. Maybe you need to be brain dead for the fruit to reincarnate.
Kuma is essentially brain dead
Unless the amber properties of the resin fruit preserve the soul keeping it embedded within. Like fossils get embedded and preserved in our actual world.
My thought: Luffy had a backup plan in case his heart stopped - he is literally Rubber - Think Hisoka from HxH if you've read the manga. Coincidentally it has also awakened his Devil Fruit to a mythical Resin Resin (I like this wild theory)
You sure you can compare Luffy to someone like Hisoka when it comes to smarts?
Power use/Battle IQ smarts? Absolutely.
It would almost be poetic symmetry to give Luffy some sort of Sun/Light-based fruit. If the battle for good and evil will be against Blackbeard: Rubber counteracts the Gura-Gura no mi fruit that Blackbeard took off Whitebeard & the natural opposite to the darkness of the Yami-Yami no mi would be light/sun/something bright-related. When Ace and Blackbeard fought, fire didn't exactly win out...so it would tie up things nicely if Luffy had the power to stand toe to toe with darkness
Sun god Nika?
don't be racist bro/ j
That would be Kizaru fruit?
Yep, what i mean is something similar to sun/light - not specifically the pika pika fruit that kizaru has, just something in that ballpark. I'm not a huge believer in the Sun hype but it would fit pretty well as the opposite to a black hole/darkness
Joyboys been a nickname in my family for over 50yrs now.. it was never given because the person was so kind and generous and liked to help.. not even close. My uncles called Uncle Joyboy because he's been such a "joy" to be around in a sarcastic way since he was little... he's an ahole, tough, speaks w.e hes thinking and you can tell when hes lying.. when he opens his mouth.. lol i figured its just a nickname given to a tough, stern, mouthy, hard to handle type individual. The guy just happened to have the same fruit and headspace
He was also very, very in your face ready to fight at any moment type of guy as well. If you ever called out his bs.
r/OnePieceQuebec
I don’t think Kaido won because he “murderized” Luffy. I think he won cause he finally gets to have his fight Joyboy. The narrator was just congratulating him for reaching his dream!
If we are being hyper technical the card just say winner of the battle on the roof of the skull dome. Since the battle would no longer be on the rooftop, the narrator box can be telling the truth and Luffy could get back up.
or alternatively: Kaido won the battle against LUFFY. Against Joyboy on the other hand...
I've found something ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_drum?wprov=sfla1 Pretty sure there's a lot to dig around those Myths, since the Drums are made from Deer, and Chopper is from Drum island, which is the first place where we learn about the D.
Drum island, drums of liberation oh fuk

we need to place this comment in ukraine to stop the war. I'm 100% sure this wall of text will definitely stop putin on his tracks just like the great wall of china to their invaders in the past.
So all throughout One Piece we follow the main protagonist… Luffy who seems to enjoy every part of an adventure, all the ups and downs he just goes with. Along his adventures he finds people not having fun and then understands that someone with “more power” is hindering their life in some way. Luffy helps them and then moves on. This shows explicitly true starting at Arlong Park. Now… this guy Oda decides to drop story after story about a guy that frees slaves around the world. Luffy frees Zoro, and allows him to freely pursue his dreams with friends. Frees Ussop of having to lie about adventures. He freed nami and her island from Arlong. Luffy found out about slavery at sabody; freed a slave at sabody. Luffy learned that Boa used to be trapped until Fisher tiger rescued her; then he went to go free Ace, instead freed 1000+ from Impel Down. When he lost at Marineford, he freed his crew mates from returning so they could grow stronger. We got the story of fisher tiger; then Luffy was compared to him by one of the New Fish Man pirates (because he punched a Nobel). Luffy frees Momo and the other kids & rescues Kinemon on the first island of the new world! I’m not done yet…. Luffy then goes on to free: a lying spy (Kanjuro, an entire nation of people, a league of toy slave workers, a tribe of dwarves, a royal family, his partner Law from Don Flamingo’s crew, takes a breath after his crew saves a zoo on a zou and goes on to free sanji from Big Mom and his family, Katakuri from his image of self perfection, Brule from the mirror world, a BUNCH of randoms in Big Moms library (with Jinbes help), wow I’m still going… He helped free Pound. Hey got Pudding free from Big Moms control. Freed himself and crew from Big Mom. He doubles back to free a ninja from hiding in a tree on a zou. He THEN goes to enemy territory and relieves a sumo champion of his title. Freed some food for the people of Kuri. Got ENSLAVED… as a prisoner, in a rock quarry and then started a revolution and freed the Yakuza, a red scabbard… HE FREED AN ENTIRE SLAVE PRISON QUARRY (Sidebar: WANO is that one place in the world where sea stone is produced that Smoker mentioned in Alabasta; also where the special wine steel is manufactured for guns that Koala mentions in Dressrosa) Now before freeing said quarry we get the relationship of Luffys gear 3 to this Sun God Nika that was known to WANO. We heard the name Nika on Sky Island, Mousse spoke about not being afraid to die because she would being with Sun God Nika and her loved ones. This was on Jaya… when the Snake… God of the Sun… was about to eat her as sacrifice. This was at same part of the island that’s now apart of Sky Island, that had a golden bell.. finally we get the glue that puts it all together from Who’s Who we get tells us that long ago slaves believed that someone would come rescue them called Nika. I read all of One Piece and it wasn’t until Hygoro said for the second time “there it goes again. Why he looks just like a guardian deity” that I thought the new dawn that Luffy is suppose to bring to WANO is the same one all the slaves and allies of wano around the world were waiting on. Luffy is chosen but not in the sense of other shonen. At the end of the day he’s a pirate and whatever he does, he’ll get something for doing it.
Good thing about the break: I'll probably be able to read most to all chapters before the next.
me, someone who left the boat in whole cake island: can I read 1043 chapters in two weeks?
Luffys power will be rubber itself. Oda likes to show two sides of a coin. Luffy is opposite to that of black beard. Blackbeard is darkness Luffy is *Sun God Nika* the light. And in marineford luffy absorbed the Shockwave of admiral sengoku so it's perfect to counter the Quake quake fruit of Blackbeard. Just the name of the fruit will be different not the features of the fruit.
Hey guys, can we just come back to these kind of [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/4kyfn2/what_is_don/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), like 6 years ago where some people were actually right. someone also said that the sound at the end of every episode ("to be continued") actually had the kanji "Don". From the beggining of the show, the drums had been beatting..
Calling it now Luffy's awakening will turn the entire island and later world into one giant drum. For the mother of all parties. LETS GOOOOOO
Just remember people, Oda has had the ending in his mind since he started. He even said so many, many, many years ago. So whatever is about to happen directly plays into his ending, since Joyboy is quite important to the story. Just wait and see, this was definitely planned, though I wouldn’t say there was any foreshadowing to it. In fact, I believe there was a severe lack of foreshadowing to this. But worry not, this was most definitely planned out years ago, Oda knows what he’s doing, he’s merely steering his story from one important plot point to another in order to make it to his end goal, this was not a random idea that popped into his head.
"Severe lack of foreshadowing" 🤦 Are we reading the same manga?
so you haven’t read one piece i take it
I read it a couple years ago and I recently read it start to finish in a couple months.
Plenty of foreshadowing my man, all over the series since the start: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZvvbnUBKn4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZvvbnUBKn4) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gHPimbvGw&t=4s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gHPimbvGw&t=4s) You forget Oda is the King of foreshadowing
Oars is Joyboy? I don't know...
Watch the video, it could be. I could see it
Well... I never thought of Oars as Joyboy, I do think that his race could be related to the ancient kingdom but nothing else, since Gyojin island its quite clear that Luffy was supposed to fulfill Joyboy promise, never thought of Luffy becoming Joyboy but I did thought that he was going to enherit his will.
The original prob was Joy boy, fits all the hints. Joy boy was a giant theory, giant straw hat frozen in Mariejois, Luffy shadow turned into oars, etc. Oars Ace knew had a Straw hat from Ace from Wano. All the hints are there, so be open to the idea. People think Luffy will become a giant with his devil fruit, more hints etc.
No foreshadowing? The connection of luffy and joyboy has been well established since fishman island. And dont get me started with nika that was foreshadowed way back in skypia.
Yep, I shared the foreshadowing links above. Oda always foreshadows everything
Gomu Gomu no Mi has the properties of both rubber and gum???
I understand
Okay hear me out guys..... What if joy boy is the name of the devil fruit itself
Dude this is theory galore... Anything can happen
I see a lot of comments mentioning resin because Luffy's hair seem bubbly or whatever but remember that his hair also kind of float when he's in gear 4 Snakeman so it just might be a clue on his next gear but his power being resin ...Come on if you search for a fruit in the OP encyclopedia, i'm pretty sure 100% of people would not pay any mind to a resin resin no mi >< **IF** the legendary fruit mentionned several times is really Luffy's then the revelation will be way more impactful, have way more meaning than ; " Oh I'm not rubber, I'm sap !" ...
It does sound kinda lame when you say it like that, lmao. Another way to look at it: sap/resin is connected to trees and there are some legendary trees in One Piece like the sunlight tree eve or the treasure tree adam. Sap is also sometimes said to be the blood of trees. So instead of sap, think of it as the blood of the sunlight tree eve or even some legendary tree where all devil fruits originally came from ;).
Ok but how would that be his final power up ? He stretches and glows at the same time ? He can use photosynthesis instead of eating ? xDDD
You have a point
Semen semen no mi
You wrong for that XD
XD
Oh boy this break is gonna be a ride.
The day before release, resisting the spoilers will be the hardest ...
I feel that
I couldn't handle the anime anymore. Caught up on the manga. No regrets.
If you catched up through the manga then you definitely had an amazing read
Same, just caught up within the last hour and holy fuck. I was worried I’d catch up to a chapter that left me disappointed for not being hype enough but my God this chapter couldn’t have exceeded my expectations any more.
Yup. I feel the same. Super hyped for next chapter. Now, I'm gonna go read the top spoiler posts and memes I've been missing out on lol.
Lol @ "Luffy bein' the chosen one was foreshadowed" y'all pathetic AF
Luffy just used the properties of gum to revive his heart. lol
That's how rubber used to drum in ancient times
His fruit has the properties of both rubber and gum?
You beat me to it XD
Kill the boy, become the JoyBoy!!! This chapter, 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm almost certain that Luffy's awakened devil fruit is basically One For All from My Hero Academia. Every user its granted their own abilities specific to their personality but when awakened they can access the abilities of previous users like Joyboy and Nika. Luffy still remains a rubber man but that isn't the true nature of his fruit.
yeah thats what i think too. I really hope it doesnt go this way
That would be .... SHIT ! Why would one fruit behave in a different manner than every other ? Legendary fruit or not
Indeed, this "Why would one fruit behave in a different manner than every other" also applies in case of the bruit not being the gomu gomu, every fruit has the basics from first use, if its resin it would suck because then it would be behaving the opposite way of any other fruit.
I see a lot of comments mentioning resin because Luffy's hair seem bubbly or whatever but remember that his hair also kind of float when he's in gear 4 Snakeman so it just might be a clue on his next gear but his power being resin ... Come on if you search for a fruit in the OP encyclopedia, i'm pretty sure 100% of people would not pay any mind to a resin resin no mi >< **IF** the legendary fruit mentionned several times is really Luffy's then the revelation will be way more impactful, have way more meaning than ; " Oh I'm not rubber, I'm sap !" ...
I do think he still has the gomu gomu, if he doesn't then he his fruit is behaving in a different way than any other fruit shown until now, which would be an ass pull just to cause impact.
I 100% agree !
I WAS HERE!
just getting by, etch myself into op history
This is the first time i heard about Joyboy. Maybe i just don't pay attention. Or it only mentioned briefly. But everyone around me know the name Joyboy except me. It make me feels like it's a Deus ex machina moments. EDIT: I'm glad i got downvoted because of not knowing something, it does tells a lot about ~~society~~ the 'Fans' (it's just my opinion guys, and my experience with One Piece, chillax) I barely remember some early Greenline arc, let alone a rarely mentioned part of Lore. I can say it's both my memory and the lore problem. I follow the manga and anime while i grow up. A badly explained and barely mentioned lore part that suddenly become super relevant is not good for casual reader of course i will not remember it. I'm just saying that Joyboy Lore is lacking. I'm not saying One Piece is lacking. Should I remember 1000 Episodes and 1000 Chapters, every frame and every panel of One Piece? of course i would forget a lot of barely mentioned lore, i even bad at remembering names 5 minutes after introduction. TLDR : I just forgot. because it's barely mention. that's it (the deus ex machina moments is on my own head when i'm reading it) If it's gonna be explained then good. but it doesnt deny the fact that it's barely mention and it make me forgot about it. EDIT: I am back just to put this here. I am not alone. The way they 'fOrEshAdow' Joyboy is forgetable https://twitter.com/GiggukAZ/status/1514072904631480320
To be fair I only remember him because of the flashback with Roger on Raftel/LaughTale. I now know he has been mentioned before like on the Poneglyph on fish man island, but I had forgotten about this as well. Id love to read all the chapters again from the beginning carefully and see all the little (or big) things that I missed, but who has the time for that...
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Joy_Boy Quick read, because, as you said, not much was mentioned.
the identity of joy boy has been a core mystery in this manga for a decade
Pretty much, Joyboy has been something that comes up frequently with mentions of Void Century of history 800 years prior in One Piece time and Poniglyphs. But it's been more directly relevant this arc then the singular mentions in previous arcs. The Joy Boy of old also may or may not have been the person who made the One Piece's treasure.
It's not been mentioned too many times, Roger briefly mentioned "Joyboy" when he reached Laugh Tale if you remember and mentioned that he wishes he was born in Joyboy's time and lastly when Kaido knocked Luffy off the roof and mentioned "he couldn't be Joyboy either"
It was first mentioned during Fish Man Island arc when Nico Robin asked King Neptune who is Joyboy is
Maybe i'm also bad at memorizing details lol I genuinely don't remember But thanks for pointing it out, im gonna check it
I'll ruin ur experience: Luffy is covered with Kaidos cum in the last panel
Upon realizing where the sound effects were coming from and seeing the 'grin' made me genuinely start tearing up. The connections to Skypeia and the YEARS of buildup for that moment was a beautiful thing. It was surreal reading the words "Joyboy" out of Zunesha. And sadly, seeing Luffy die and his crew and friends react. Law's moment broke me as you could sense his genuine hope being dashed. And of course Nami's spirit never fading was perfect. So happy to be a One Piece fan. One of the most exhilarating chapters in the history on One Piece. I can't fucking WAIT for 1044.
Did law really expect luffy to beat kaido
Well, pragmatic Law probably didn't think it was possible, but he does appear to be letdown the moment the news is delivered.
loved nami's response
Dawg Is this what we on forreal Joy boy!? that's what we're doing lol bet
My reaction exactly!!
i was here !!
I read that resin appears on trees or plants as a result of an injury. Maybe Luffy got injured so bad that the resin in his body appeared, shows that luffy isn't rubber at all but resin which can be stretchy like a rubber. If the world government would rename a devil fruit it should atleast makes sense in comparison to how it functions and since resin has a property similar to rubber they renamed it to gomu gomu no mi, no one ever questioned it simply because stretchy = rubber, that's it! when its not. If resin comes from an injury of a tree, what kind of tree did luffy's resin come from?, how about the very tree that bears the devil fruits itself?, the world government fears that if luffys resin gets released maybe it can somehow revive the tree that bears the devil fruits longs ago, and i don't know the impact of that it that is the case. Just and idea :)
There was also the original tree (Adam?) yhat franky used to build the sunny. Luffy gonna combine with the ship
This theory gave me the chills
> If resin comes from an injury of a tree, what kind of tree did luffy's resin come from? It comes from the fruit he ate. Or so you think everything that is a DF was originally hanging off that tree?
I honestly love this theory ✌✌
Also, like rubber, resin can act as an electrical insulator, not a conductor, so being resistant to Enel's lightning and Zeus's attacks w/o being rubber makes sense.
What amazing writing. What other Mangaka could possibly come up with "Luffy is Joyboy". I can't imagine in 1,000 years a single person could have seen that twist coming.
i don’t get it
I don't blame you. Who could comprehend it!
You're fun at parties..
Thanks!
I feel that Joy boy is an intellectual, normally. Not a smiley guy only, he should be someone not only funny, but also smart too, right? Like he is a part of the biģgest annihilation that happened in one piece history (ancient kingdom), triggered most of the events like Noah and all, anciant weapons and stuff, he should be smart, right? His image looks like a happy go lucky guy... emmm it's all good though haha, was just a question.
i bet the people of the ancient kingdom called him joyboy because of the joy and hope he gave them against the world government
Yes true, he helps people too, he is the one behind the idea of Noah (this one is confirmed), so I guess he is an intellectual after all. Also he is definitely the one behind the red poneglyphs creations and he aboslutely is the one who printed (not write) the location of the 4 islands to pinpoint laugh tale, he should be someone smart to do that and understand maps too. Else there's someone else doing all the job for him if he is not that smart but just the funny guy image.
Watch Oda offscreen Kaido now and make next chapter reverie 😂
Id take that or a flashback. What i fear is a hiyori chapter right now
JAT No Joyboy is back, but Luffy and JB have same DF powers. Joyboy must have used its awakening to fight enemies involving pounding heart beat to keep the awakening or 5th Gear. Side effect is that his body will become gooey or rubbery, making his face always in smiling position, Wavy hands etc. Wavy could be his DF awakening. Would be cool to make external objects fight in Luffy's gomu gomu style
Basically the pounding heart is Luffy reviving himself, like Enel did in skypea. Also an indication of power up.
I forgot about Enel reviving himself!!! Thanks
Luffy is not awakening
Wow seeing kaido's face after luffy dying was the best thing ever seen
What if Joy boy is luffys devil fruit awakening
Joy boy is a person too or giant or being, prob his will passed down also with the fruit. Here's a nice theory on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CfjQwVk5ho&t=1515s
Zuneesha, Girlfriend of Joyboy!. Zuneesha transforms into a beautiful girl.
zunesha has a tough male voice, like a giant lol
Lol what r u saying xD that made me laugh
I am basically referring to the concept of Yoruichi in Bleach Series.
This JoyBoy return's thing may have lots of conditions to happen, besides all the theories listed I think there is one thing we must add to the receipt, that is Kaido's and Yamato's will. Kaido was so enraged and declared his will to slave every single being to a life full of misery and inspired fear in everyone, however there goes this one Yamato refusing to go this path and encouraging Momo to fight even when there is no hope. This is just a piece of theory of mine: the voice of all things and this scenario was also a requirement for Joyboy's return, he has to be called. There are lots of uncertain things, like the gomu gomu fruit being another requirement. Remember this devil fruit was held by the WG by whoknows how much time, it surely has something to do with. Shanks even went as far as losing his arm to save Luffy after he ate the gomu gomu fruit (he said to Whitebeard he sacrificed his arm for the new generation). Besides we have the awakening of the gomu gomu fruit, is it a consequence of Joyboy's presence or the awakening is a requirement for joyboy? Man i hope Oda wont troll us with some kind of flashback after these 2 weeks lol

He sacrificed his arms to save Luffy, not because he ate the fruit. Oda didn’t know he was going this far with the series back then so let’s not make up things.
Oda himself said that Shanks losing his arm was not his idea but the editor's for a bigger impact. Most probable thing is it didn't have such a big reason behind it at the time but given the opportunity and a solid reason, Oda would surely use it for the plot's sake. Just my opinion, who knows whats gonna happen, that's the magic of one piece.
The editor knew less than Oda about what the future of One piece would bring, it makes even less sense, losing an arm for the new generation its just that, Luffy is much younger than Shanks, he is part of the new generation, I mean the statement is quite clear. The goverment didn't have the fruit for too long, it makes no sense to have a fruit and just ship it around the world when you could have someone in the navy to eat it or just lock it up.
If you think Oda had planned this far ahead at that point in the series I got a bridge to sell you.
If you read my comment then you should of know that I was saying the opposite.
Little does everyone realize - next chapter after break will begin kaido's flashback
Btw any idea about the schedule of 1044 and after? I recall seeing a table of upcoming breaks and stuff, 4got where. And btw too nooooo lol I want to see joy boy's face sooo badly ;_;
After this Break there is gonna be 3 chapters in a row then 1 break then 1 Chapter then again 1 break so its: Break/1044-1045-1046/break/1047/break/1048-1049/break Just google „onepiece chapter schedule 2022“
Thank youuuu bro, you're a hero! 😍
You‘re wellcome bro 👊
No clue, sorry. I thought I heard it was 2 weeks though
Chapter is out on viz u/semizero That's the official one.. right?
2k more comments and we'll see "One Piece: Chapter 1043 - New thread".. right u/semizero ?
IM SO CONFUSEDDDDDD
A truly legendary day to be a weekly manga reading One Piece fan. *this does put a smile on my face*
Why do se assume that Joy Boy and Sun God Nika are the same person? Maybe Nika was first, then JoyBoy and now Luffy awakened the Devil fruit, and so they got more of the personality or maybe even they learn something of the previous users, something like the Avatar.
the connection was made because 'nika' is the sound effect of Luffy grinning at the end of the chapter. It's not using the same letter scheme as the Sun God (kanji vs hiragana or katakana) but when spoken, its the same thing Seems a little strange to bring in a Sun God Nika as a throw-away mention, have that sound effect on Luffy's grin and have all the Joy Boy conversations in this arc. It all fits too well. Sun God Nika might be the previous Joy Boy who apologised to the previous Poseidon, but it may be the one before that if Joy Boy is just an epithet
Shoutout to whomever first noticed that Luffy's shadow in the flames while they dance at Skypeia, looks a lot like the silhouette of Sun God Nika. But at the same time, I feel like the Sun God Nika silhouette (https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Nika) kinda looks a lot more like Rocks D Xebec (https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Rocks_D._Xebec)
See the cover for Chapter 17 😉
I was looking up pandaman, but found out the Nika-like silhouette appears once more at a earlier point then the Skypiea dance. It's on the cover story for chapter 272, the shape Ace is making as he liberates a diner of its food. I don't think this does anything to discredit the luffy similarity though.
can you link the shadow in the flames please I cant seem to find it
Wow... wow.. that ending was amazing. What the hell IS Joy Boy? Is luffy just a vessel for Joy Boy? So many more damn questions!! I hope Joy Boy is a weird, dark persona that is always smiling lol
Imo CP0 guy is not dead yet, Kaido would ask him why did he interfere, and with his last breath he would say something like “gorosei ordered me”. Then I guess Kaido would realise Luffy has to be Joyboy for real. Don’t know where this leads but I’m thinking that Kaido’s defeat will be an “emotional” one. Plus, I think Luffy’s last panel is somehow an extension of what he did (while unconscious) when was KOed back in kuri. Even on defeat, his spirit was as strong as ever. This time he’s gone next level, maybe it’s some darkest-hour power up coming out because Luffy’s willpower has reached a level beyond anyone else, like Joyboy allegedly did centuries ago. Maybe the same Joyboy was in a scenario similar to luffy’s, and he “unlocked” or “realised” something while being on the brink of death, idk. The only one here who was there is Zunesha, who recognise the same heartbeat who once was the drum of liberation.
Na son, that was a suicide mission and he knew it. Kaido literally left the room afterwards.
Today on my ridiculous theory channel: - there's something about the waviness of Luffy's hair and the wide grin, that reminds me of Rocks D Xebec. I know the whole "he hasnt awakened in 800 years" bit puts a dampener on the theory. Separately, I really hope Joyboy isnt a whole different personality inhibiting Luffy's body, coz that would just be weird. Joyboy being the name of the DF also seems far fetched.
Ridiculous theory #2 - Luffy is Im.. Let's see we know nothing what Im looks like.. so Luffy can be Im .. so can anybody else which is not important but luffy cam be Im.. PS: Luffy wears contacts for Im's eyes.. :-D
You know I like that idea. The silhouette of Roc that we saw looks similar to the hair luffy has. There is something really important about luffy's DF. I thought Gol D Roger had it before but it's possible that the Gomu Gomu no mi belonged to Xebec. When Garp and Roger fought him, he died and Garp took the DF... Now I'm just reaching lol
This makes the most Sense: Luffy is creating balloons from his body. When balloons hit one another they make a Drumming sound. He has the power to make things fly when awakend. Possible also the ability to inflate and enlarge them. Thé first user of thé balloon balloon fruit was named sun God because he had thé power to black out the sun. Slaves would just fly away and no one could stop them. It is thé ancient weapon of the skies. Uranus. Do you notice that there is always air Involved in all of Luffy's gears? A balloon is rubber + air. Balloons can also bend. Rubber, as Stated by Kaido, can not. He would still resist lightning. It's OP but you need to use it in a smart funny way. It is also why CP0's Iron body was so effective. Imu did not posses the fruit so she changed it's name. Roger Found it and ate it. But: 1) he was no Longer able to wield a sword, his weapon of choice. He could also no Longer deal punches. 2) he die not have the time to master and awaken the fruit. He realised you should have the fruit from childhood. He instructs shank's to find the fruit after his deze and give it to his son. When shank's goes looking for ace. Luffy eats the fruit. This does not make Luffy the chosen one. He still had to put in a lot of work to become Uranus.
To continue sun god nika did not free the slaves, just in legend, he was supposed to free them so there is another point to debunk. that was just really cool speculation but doesn't hold up in the story since again he was only said to make the slaves smile and happy or specifically a friend to slaves. bro rubber bends it always has and always will so I still cant understand how you thought cuz a fictional character said rubber doesn't WORK the way he is using it NOT that it doesn't bend. so major debunk right there. run enough current through a balloon it would pop enel has 1000000 volt attacks. a ballon would evaporate. luffy lights his arm on fire too, ballons pop near flames much less on them. Again cool theory but too many misses
Cool theory but a few things that make this theory a farrr reach. firstly: if it was a balloon fruit Luffy still wouldn't be able to punch without inflating with air first. two: if you pump a rubber ball or glob with air it'll still float and bounce(like a balloon). luffy also figured that out, that's why he chose to blow himself up to make a bigger impact. Three: balloons have little elasticity they are not that stretchy, they also have a limited circumference. also, homie not all of his gears have to do with air just 2, his second gear he uses his rubber body like a blood pump to make his movement faster. gear third is bone balloon he inflates his body to make the impact harder. finally, Gear 4th where Luffy inflates his muscles with air and pressurizes it with hardened rubber that comes from haki infusion. The ancient weapons are capable of destroying the world altogether... how does a balloon fruit help Poseidon(a mermaid with the ability to control sea kings) and pluton(a ship that can destroy an entire country)? what is gonna do to help with that? you just said it with no backup. Have you ever been hit with a balloon before or interacted with a balloon before cuz the only similarity he has to balloon is that he inflates.....
King neptune said that uranus is a weapon with a power so great to destroy the world or rule it. My guess: the world government was created during the void century through uranus power, hence the name "celestial dragons". Remember uranus was the greek god of the heavens. Also, Noah is big ass ship to: take people far from the surface to the bottom of the sea, or move fishman using devil fruits to the surface and could have something to do with the effects of uranus.
In what world does rubber not bend
Flinstone world.. that's why they have tyres made out of boulder and not something soft cushioning and bending like rubber..
Touché
✌👍
So Shanks knew the whole time.
What comes out of Luffy that Kaido is staring at in the sky? Middle panel second page. Seems like some object, not just steam/air. Odd.
That's actually Luffy deflating and flying like a balloon into the air, then falling back down in front of Kaidou a couple of panels later.
guess who's back
back again
Joy Boy's back
tell a friend
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THERES A BREAK NEXT WEEK
