And that's the thing. The Joyboy stuff has been completely replaced by the Nika narrative since end of Wano. We don't even hear about Joyboy anymore
Dorry and Brogy know about Nika too. They literally called him the Sun God at the end of this chapter. Somehow everyone suddenly seems to know about him when there were no mention of it before lol....
It's like Oda erased Joyboy build-up
Like,
The story went from "this guy reminds me of Roger, he's the man that will surpass Roger " Luffy being Roger 2.0 was what we were led to believe that's all there is
To " He's the 2nd coming of Joyboy that Roger and all are waiting for " which still was okay and we thought that's it
But nope, Luffy is actually "Nika"
Luffy went from being destined to be the greatest pirate like Roger to being a 2nd coming of a legendary ancient warrior into becoming a reincarnation of a deity
He's now just the promised saviour and God that the world has been praying for
