Speculations What's going on with JoyBoy/Luffy?
- Thread starter Patryipe
- Start date
I think:
A. Luffy becomes someone worthy of becoming Joy Boy
B. Joy Boy is a spirit or deity whatever with unbelievable power, capable of changing the world. In some part of the world, people refer to him as Nika, The Sun God.
C. Joy Boy can connect to anyone he wills to, via the paths of Haki, or Devil Fruit, or both.
D. There are certain requirements to become Joy Boy / inherit his will and also power. Maybe its
- Willpower stuff, or
- Certain creativity, out-of-the-box approach in order to always become individually stronger (be it Haki or Devil Fruit), thus unlocking the spiritual connection / path to make Joy Boy aware of one's presence, or
- Having the purest heart which dreams of an utopia (proving it by struggling for one's entire life to bring joy / peace to everyone), or
- The combination of all points above, or
- Some other stuff
D. Apparently Luffy check all the boxes and makes Joy Boy/Nika aware of his struggle
E. Joy Boy is Luffy's Excalibur (just like @Monkey D Theories' said in his theory), every Great Pirates have tried to access to be at his audience/presence through various Haki or Devil Fruit - mediated methods. But Luffy is the only one worthy to access his presence.

F. Imo Luffy will not be possessed by Joy Boy, and win against Kaidou because of it. It will betray the narrative build-up by Oda where Luffy has to be the one surpassing his rival of PK candidate. Instead, i hope Luffy will converse with Joy Boy's spirit...but instead of Joy Boy freely lending his powers to Luffy, Luffy will conquer that power himself and even figure out an absurd and super powerful application, unprecedented even by Joy Boy himself, cementing the rubber boi's worth.

I don’t think it’s Joy Boy’s spirit taking over.
And by that I mean I really fucking hope it isn’t. But there is some groundwork being there for it- Sabo saying to Burgess that it was Ace, and not him, who was angry with him. At the time I just thought Sabo was a but unhinged, could well now be that a part of the person who ate a DF stays in it even after death. Maybe only if they are a D and that’s what makes D’s special.
The fruit has awakened, I think that’s quite clear from the earlier chat. Probably will create the mode that lets Luffy finally defeat Kaido.
Yes, I think Nika = Joy Boy makes sense. One will be his actual name, one will be his nickname or some kind of title/role.
Well with Shanks it’s either going to be Luffy, Blackbeard or as a third choice guess Rocks as the pirate he wants to talk about.
One thing I’m finding interesting about all this is that it’s happening now and not at the final fight of the series. Or even at Laugh Tale. Quite interesting that Oda has decided that now is the time to throw all this out in the open.
