Questions & Mysteries Is Joy Boy a title or a person?

[Paperchampion23]

Hes a person guys. "Becoming" Joyboy is the same way Yamato "became" Oden. It's the concept of a living will, that's it.

Kaido is making fun of Luffy and Roger for not being able to do whatever Joyboy's will expects them to do. Very clearly this is tied to the strawhat, which is potentially the one stored in Mariejois.

Weird shit, but its consistent with the themes of the story over the last 24 years.

Title

No reason for such a mysterie in here. Is like being Roger/King of Pirates. King of Pirates is a title, Roger is a person. If you can't be Roger you can't be King of Pirates.

Try to think real world to understand better. You can't be Michaels Phelps which means you can't be the biggest olympic winner.

I think "Joy Boy" was actually a group that fought against Imu during the Void Century. They had members of all races.

They might be the D Clan.

I hope and believe that he was presumably a single being judging off that hat unless the hat symbolized something specific and wasn't carried by a single being, that much I find it less likely.

The One Piece exists. So perhaps Joy Boy does too.

Aside from whether it is a title or a man, id like to remind you guys that there was an interesting Indonesian theory about Joyboy. We (Indonesians) has a tale about someone telling a propechy that one day a ruler will raise to bring our country to its peak of prosperity and bring peace to our land of around 200 different tribes living on it. The man who tells the said propechy is called Joyo Boyo. Im pretty sure that every Indonesian users here ever heard abt this Joyo Boyo.
