Thats why kuma was testing luffys crew in thriller park especially zoro inorder to make sure no more betrayal occurs to joyboy luffy.

[@TheChef_G]

My theory is that it was the "Nami" of joyboys crew, we all know nami loves money, and if the theory that nami is a princess is true, than i can imagine what happened with imu

[@Igotlostagain1]

[@kevinmoore4355]

Well, no, he was on a mission from the revolution army to get them out of Dodge because they were about to be stomped and literally they would have been stomped if they kept going I'd save more than thriller bark where he was on duties but instead started talking to the crew and also literally tested zorros loyalty there

@@user-io1cw9wl1u The fact is it's rare for a devil fruit user to awaken it.

[@torn180]

Kozuki Toki was born during the void century and had a devil fruit. Devil fruits predate Joyboy's disappearance/death. But I do think that Joyboy's loss is what resulted in the creation of the Gomu Gomu no Mi. Like his soul literally became the fruit.

[@TheZerosd]

It's Nika there is no gomu the gomu became because of Luffy wanted to be a rubber guy and Nika gave him that power if his imagination is the limit to the power of Nika than he still didn't unlock all of it that's my thinking

Sun god nika and joy boy is different person's

[@mjbarbacina718]

Based on Anime and manga, my theory was that the Ponegliff from fishman island was joyboy's apology to the past Queen of fishman island, because they promised to relocate all fishman to the surface world using the Noah ship (Giant Ship pulled by sea kings using Poseidon's/queen's power) but something happend to Joyboy before this so he is apologizing to the past queen due to not fulfilling the promise The giant robot now on the egghead island must have tried to fulfill Joyboy's last wish but something stopped him from doing so, then the last thing he does was to try and get revenge on celestial dragons before losing power on marijoa. Then when gear 5 luffy powers him again his first words were apology to joyboy. I think this is somehow related because the year that Giant robot attacked marijoa was the same year that the fishman island joined the world government. So something must have happend on fishman island to make them ally with world government (betrayal or something like a threat that the giant robot can't forgive/do anything about it; as he is a friend of joyboy and enemy of 20kingdoms/WG) Someone pin this comment, I'm sure I'm up to something here.

We didn’t know that yet. Oda has pulled unexpected plot many times and I think what the obvious plot that we all are assuming that his crew betrayed them is probably not gonna be true. Cause what he left behind in laugh tale is a story full of joy not a sad betrayal story. Apology can mean many thing. The Robot probably Apologised because it failed to full fill the goal set by Joy Boy.

Honestly I think that betrayal played a part in it but I believe that the betrayal happened after he used Gear 5 to it's absolute max time and power then reverted into the exhausted old man just like what happened to Luffy during the Kaido fight and after the short lived fight with a Mister Rob Lucci on Egghead.

[@thefoolishthinker7007]

really, cause my personal theory is Joy Boy's death was the cause by the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika itself. This idea came from the fact that Luffy been using his life force to fight for a while now. Those that were sorry for Joy Boy's death not by betrayal but cause like Samurai retainers will have suffer great shame after their master/friend die.

[@prestorjon5708]

the devil fruit is the people of the ancient kingdom....

[@Nuwair-km7x]

I heard that you can control the effects of your devil fruit powers if they come in contact with a different person but the power didn’t come from your devil fruit (only if awakened) so I think Imu is using the mizu mizu no mi (water fruit) to make it so that if a devil fruit user comes in contact with water they loose their abilities

[@mrbubbles6468]

I honestly think Imu was Joy Boy, or if not someone like Momo who Joy Boy helped become King only for a Blackbeard era figure to Switch his mind.

[@Critical_Vex]

That makes sense since he was seen as a God in his time period hence the name Sun God Nika so the one who would kill him would be his own crew

I think that joyboy had the same dream as luffy but in his crew imu betreyed him and froze him to death because imu wanted to become the king of the world and not let anyone know who joyboy is and all about him so thats why imu also killed who anyone who spoke of it.

I think it also has something to do with luffys fruit is actually a imagination fruit that can turn any willders imagination into reality like the fire fist that luffy developed in memory of ace

[@thesnowgamerz1]

imu betrayed him but did not kill him because if she did that then his will and his devil fruit will be recarnitted so imu put him in a giant freezer so his devil fruit would not work so the giant robot killed him for the next joyboy

The original Joy boys death might relate to the story of Jesus where he was betrayed by one of his own.

I am gonna make my own theory I think gorosai and imu was joyboys crews. You see because joyboy had a god like powers, like that imu and gorosai has also god like powers. And they were against the 20 nations. But due to greed imu decides to betray joyboy and gorosai joined imu and they won against joyboy and freezed him and the giant robot might have killed him to reincarnated into the fruit. Giant robot and zunesha might have felt unworthy of living becuase they can ssve their captain and decided to sleep until luffy's fruit awakened. And imu and gorosai might have manupilated the 20 nations makiing them believe that joyboy and their crew is dead, so the 20 nations put their sword in the throne room (peace treaty).
