wait till Oda goes full ham and connects Ryuma and Joyboy
if it was pre ts i wouldnt have believed it but post ts specially after ROX reveal and more info on Joyboy-Roger-Luffy, i wont be surprised if Oda goes with "Ryuma and Joyboy came from same time. they had a rivalry like friendship(maybe akin to noland and calgara. coincidently Jaya is city of gold. wano is country of gold
)"
it seems Oda plans to connect legends and have them related to one another instead of having them isolated and in a vaccum.
1. 1st Gen: as we see from 4 unlikely pirate was once colleague(WB, BM, Kaido, Shiki) after that Oda connected Roger and garp to them Via Rox incident and Roger to BM via her Poneglyph. then name drops from thriller bark, Capt John got stitched to Rox too.
2. 2nd Gen: then we have Chinjao who 1st got connected to Garp who ended his dream and career. later Vivre Card databooks revealed that Chinjao actually fought both Roger and garp in his career as a pirate and this earned him his infamy along with his head. Roger also mentioned Sengoku as a potential challenge. WB thinking Roger/Garp/Shiki/Sengoku/Ray as his peer and speerHead of this gen. then we have Oden who is connected to Roger/WB/Kaido.
3. 3rd Gen: in more recent yrs we have Shanks and Mihawk got linked by their duel and rivalry. BM and Kaido with some sort of "Big favor". Shanks and BB with some bad blood. Akainu and Dragon for some unknown reason(Papazuki seemed to have some suppressed emotion for Dragon
). Papazuki and Aokiji with their duel and clash of moral.
4. 4th Gen: now we have Luffy who more and more seems to be someone more than "resemble Roger". we are getting JoyBoy-Roger-Luffy deeply connected. Law with sengoku. Kidd with kaido and Shanks. Zoro with Ryuma-Mihawk. Luffy with Shanks-BB. BM-Kaido alliance. latest chap we have Kaido's "Son" Yamato connected to Ace
.
i might have left some out but i think u get the idea.
basically chars that are expected to have interaction between them definitely has them and even chars that we didnt expect to have any relation or connection between them are being connected as we speak.
Untill we get confirmed info of Ryuma and Joyboy being from different gen.
coincidently Ryuma died from unspecified sickness which sounds awfully like certain someone we know who also had incurable disease and couldnt be cured
this reminds me Disease is the strongest of all in OP.
