I don't know if someone has mentioned this, but i like how this whole deal of Joyboy and Luffy adds more to the identity theme of Wano which gets more and more important. -Yamato believing she's Oden -Sanji with his Germa powers awakening turning him into something he isn't -Zoro and his family which i'm sure we will get more of it after the war -Momo finding something important about himself in Oden's journal. -Hiyori and Denjiro pretending to be someone else for years -Now Luffy being Joyboy And i probably missed someone. We are all really shocked at this Luffy-Joyboy reveal but looking back it seems it's just following a common trend in Wano. Can't wait to see where all of this goes.

[@johnd.giones5385]

More than identity, I think the Wano arc is about awakening: - Law and Kidd showing for the first time their awakening; - Sanji awakening his Vinsmoke abilities; - Zoro awakening conqueror haki; - Momonosuke awakening to his responsability to save Wano, and in doing so sacrificing his youth to help Luffy; - Luffy awakening his devil fruit.

I think joy boy has something to do with inherited will. It might be a situation where luffy awakened his fruit in order to fulfill the will of joy boy, and in this instance is freedom or liberation of wano

[@Legendsofkalos]

I have a theory that Shanks took the Gomu gomu no mi, and went to the island where he met Luffy and was there in order to find Ace and give him the fruit. I believe Roger thought his child would become Joyboy and Shanks probably thought the same thing. But then when Luffy ate the fruit and said the same words roger said he realised he would become Joyboy and it was worth him losing his arm to protect him.

The SFX in this chapter that shows Luffy's heart-beat is the thing that sounds to Zunesha as "Drums of liberation". This part is insane: those exact same SFX were used for the sounds of the drums going when Luffy was partying under the moon in Skypiea before he attacked Enel the next day and what's even crazier is that the silhouette of Sun God Nika and the Luffy partying/dancing stance that everyone compares the silhouette with was drawn in the same panel! Oda is INSANE!!

I see it being more like when Neo awakened to his power in the first Matrix movie. He'll still be Luffy, but having awakened his power will come with a new understanding and confidence of his abilities. Luffys voice having gone quiet and the drums of liberation signalling joyboy could be more of a metaphorical change in Luffy rather that literal, again, like it was for Neo

My guess is that if you bear of the will of D, you have a part of JoyBoy's spirit inside of you. This influences your actions, making you play certain roles in JoyBoy's overall plan. When you die, if you fulfilled your role, JoyBoy himself takes over and smiles. So, it's not "destiny" but rather JoyBoy's plan. Luffy clearly has a special role, but I don't think he likes to be manipulated this way. Maybe he will rebel against JoyBoy, somehow.

I'm honestly surprised it took that long for Luffy to have his rubber body melt considering most of his gears involve him heating up his body.

[@johnnysalery7383]

Well, to be fair, most of Luffy's gears are based on his inspirations and experiences. Gear Second was specifically made to combat CP9, hence why it made Luffy faster and hit harder than normal. Gear Third was based off the Giants like Dorry and Broggy. Allowing him to land bigger attacks on numerous opponents. Gear Fourth was designed to fight monsters and/or tougher opponents by utilizing advanced Haki along with the Gum Gum Fruit's elasticity. Gear Fifth could be something entirely different if JoyBoy himself is involved, sort of like an Avatar State type of power up. But we'll see.

[@ryansweeney1444]

Think about it.. this entire time, luffy has been getting stronger, faster, and HOTTER in every fight as the fight drags on. So when he is throwing 1000 punches, he is tapping into the logia manifestation aspect of the fruit unconsciously. That's why kaido was wondering where the culverins were coming from. They were manifesting!

[@pasf4118]

yeah it really looks like melted gum sooo, logia orr

[@akhilm9851]

A big part of Luffy's story is variations of freedom, so giving him a superpowered inner side, or other being to take control, doesn't quite fit

[@DarkseidTheAlmighty]

I think it would be silly as well. It works in other stories as its executed and set up for those particular stories. Luffy just needs to be Luffy man.

[@MrGhostTheBigRoast]

The Law and Momo hearing the absence of Luffy is sort of like when Kaido asked Luffy if he realised that BM was defeated. so Kaido could also possibly 'hear' BM, so just an assumption that big shot Conqueror users have a distinct 'voice' that others can pick up using some form of observation... maybe?

[@TaeInfinite]

Most like just really skilled Observation Haki users. It’s similar to power levels in Dragon Ball if you’re familiar with that. If Ki (Haki in One Piece) is not sensible, it’s either: 1.) You’re suppressing it. 2.) Too far away. 3.) Dead/Knocked Out.

[@maybeitsyou1317]

Well Enel was able to do it at an unprecedented level using his ability and "Mantra' which we later learned is observation Haki. Aisa could also do it, the little girl with no fighting ability whatsoever. Coby also heard "Voices dissapearing" at marineford and was told after the battle that it was Haki. Seems pretty clear that it's the same thing as "Sensing" someone. However "The voice of all things" seems to be something different. I think the only ones that have it are Roger/Oden/Luffy/Momo because they can hear things like sea kings and zunesha. Not just hear them, like hear their thoughts.

[@chucknorris2913]

Had this thought while watching Joyboy's theories review (which he also said something to this vein). What if the "Devil" inside the Gomu Gomu no mi is Joyboy and he can only be "reborn" when the power is awakened.

A property of rubber as an insulator is being used to encase materials in its self. This also applies so some polymers as well. So I can imagine Luffy’s awakening would have suppressing abilities similar to Blackbeard’s fruit which could allow them to fight on an equal playing field.

A few chapters ago, the Grim Reaper was busy with Zoro. Kaido proclaimed that Luffy was dead. Luffy “awakens” at the end of the chapter. Luffy was able to awaken his fruit because he was near-death (which might be one of the conditions for awakening) and also because he literally could not die at THAT particular moment. Kaido was also talking about gathering slaves and turning Wano into a weapons manufacturing island which was a cue for Joy Boy to appear. Intriguing narrative by Oda as usual! Happy Pi Day, nakamas!

So they had time to awaken their fruits, learn it's secrets/techniques, and then make use of them Also, there's an SBS that debunked DF users learning it's name upon eating the fruit apparently

[@gerotop]

Oda said in an sbs the person who eats a devil fruit finds out what they can do and then refers to the encyclopedia to find out what its name is. So, they don't automatically know what its name is. The question is whether they intuitively know what powers they get after eating it or they have to find out through using it by trial and error.

I mean.... dude.... Joyboy got around if you know what i mean lol, if what you say is true of course

[@voidseaker]

I like to think of it like a title that you live up to and zuneshia recognizing the drum and the name of joy boy is more like the common trope of seeing a sillouette of someone you need /want and having it filled by Luffy, this I get from the sillouette of nika that Luffy also fits

[@themecoptera9258]

What if the chosen one is whoever wears the Straw hat, perhaps there’s some Kill-la-kill type stuff going on where the straw hat itself has some special properties and perhaps contains the soul or mind of the original joy boy. If the hat requires that specific fruit it would explain why Shanks gave the hat to Luffey after he ate the rubber fruit. It also explains why Shanks stole it in the first place, perhaps at that early point he wanted to become king of the pirates but when he saw the determination of this kid he made a bet that the next generation would do it, and decided to make straight the path. Edit: what if joyboy ate the hat hat fruit.

I'm not actually a one piece fan but this joy boy stuff is insane it's making me wanna check it out

[@jgamer2057]

I personally really like the theory that its luffy's strawhat that has a devil fruit or other special power and that's what the gorosei were referring to, not Luffy. This devil fruit or power the hat has awakens when a wearer shows a certain quality that deems them worthy of inheriting the title of joyboy.

[@austintownsend8340]

Thank you, I’ve been looking for this one. It’s clearly his straw hat that’s melting too and not his body.

The heart pirates could hear luffy's voice (seen in the scene where they saved luffy from drowning in their submarine). Maybe it's something about their crew?

[@Lupinemancer87]

It's possible Joyboy has some kind of reincarnation fruit, like how Toki used her Time powers to jump into the future, Joyboy might have used his Devil Fruit to reincarnate 800 years later, which happens to be now, and Luffy is his "vessel" or something.

[@Levitate420]

not likely, cause kaido was also trying to become Joyboy as in actively "become" Joyboy which must mean there has to be a way to become Joyboy. Whether thats dying in Wano with a specific devil fruit or being connected to the voice of all things, we dont know

I was laughing so hard after your epiphany about Luffy using Katakuri's technique that I envisioned Kaido *and* Zunesha making the Enel face XD I can't wait for the next chapters !

[@Wes-xk6hl]

The awakening of his fruit is just called joyboy. It's still luffy. He can just go into joyboy form now. Now that form could have some special properties. Like the voice of all things dialed up, something to do with the spirits, the sun god, etc

[@SyraxV]

So one of my favorite handlings of a chosen one story was in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It was always kept ambiguous whether the Neraverine prophecy was true and your character was Nerevar reborn, or of it was all just a coincidence.

[@OscarMega2000]

So my theory is that Luffy actually died from that attack, and that next chapter we will see a vision from inside Luffy, he will be talking to himself, but one is Joyboy and the other is Luffy, and joyboy will basically say that its not his time yet, and will explain how to make proper use of his devil fruit to Luffy, explaining that all this time the name of it has been Resin Resin no mi, and that now when awakened he will understand the true potential of his fruit. And thats why Luffy is grinning, his body knows that its not his time yet, and that he is Joyboy. He also got a huge power up and is ready to whoop Kaido’s ass. Either that or it will happen off-screen but thats just my headcannon, i also think We will get to see about the grim reaper next chapter! Amazing chapter 150/10 loved it!

[@occultyudh7615]

What has been really bothering me for a while now is that I see a lot of theories surrounding the fact that Luffy's fruit might not be the gomu gomu no nomi after all and it might be something entirely different. While i love every single one of these theories by tekking and ohara especially, what I just cannot get over is the fact that it has been mentioned numerous times in the story that the user of a devil fruit, after they consume it will automatically learn the name of the fruit. Like it just comes to them. So if that were the case, wouldn't luffy already know that his fruit is not the gomu gomu nomi but something else?

[@thewillofdeeznuts6163]

i was thinking the same, but rereading it was shanks who told luffy his fruit is the gum gum fruit maybe since he was a kid and like respected shanks so much he came to the conclusion that it was??? idk bro

[@redvelvett22]

How many times do I have to repeat this, THIS IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS A MISTRANSLATION. You eat the fruit, use your powers, look it up or just make assumptions on the name.

[@TheWylieMaster]

A thought. What if the souls of previous users of fruits stay within the fruit after death (kinda like the devil taking your soul trope) Individuals who consume the fruit have the souls of previous users inside of them. Assuming that joyboy ate the gomu gomu no mi, this "awakening" allowed luffy to become one with the previous users including joyboy

I feel like if joy boy does infact possess luffy, it'll be a one time thing. He might just meet luffy in some kind of inner world and hand over the title of joy boy, then give him a few words of advice on how to use his awakening before he just leaves luffy to carry on on his own

[@3oct1111]

This, except I think a conversation between Joy boy & Kaido would be interesting

[@narfd.8837]

One thing to note regarding Luffys ability to communicate with Zunesha is that the last time he tried it he also wasn't able to communicate with Momo the way he did while he was under water after chapter 1013. It is very possible that his voice has grown more powerful and is now able to reach Zunesha.

[@gameswithzeta6779]

What if the awakening of the fruit just made Luffy come to realize something and having this new perspective or idea, makes his way of thinking (his voice). So Joyboy is just a way of life, a way to think that is present in the new voice tha zunisha hears, and the one we see in the final panel it is actually our Luffy smiling like " I've got this ".

[@L0v3dNL0st]

I'm wondering if Joyboy is the proper name of the devilfruit. And so Luffy awakening it is what awakens the memories of the previous users of the fruit. Letting Luffy still be himself but having the memories of the actual Joyboy. Also I've had the idea for a while now, but what if you basically have to die and comeback to awaken your devilfruit. Like the fruit is about to find a new host and you coming back bring out the true "soul" of the fruit and that's why so few truly awaken their fruit.

[@pica2754]

I love the scenario you said about how Luffy could wake up in the next chapter. I can totally see it happening. I wouldn't be surprised if Luffy didn't know what awakening was lol. I can see him waking up as himself. I think he will jump down to where kaido is.
