Given Nika's mythology seemed to come from Elbaf, it made logical Joyboy may have been a Giant or perhaps a Buccaneer. The Buccaneers are claimed to have the blood of the Giants, which would help to explain why they were closely familiar with the Sun God's myth and religiously passed on the knowledge across centuries. Together with the huge crime described in chapter #1096, the big frozen straw hat at Mariejois also seemed to be the ideal size for a Buccaneer. Joyboy belonged to the newly arrived race.
Still, the most recent chapter implies Joyboy might have been a normal human, discarding every painstakingly created fan Theory out of hand. Interestingly, this also makes Joyboy far more like Luffy and Roger. Fans have long imagined Joyboy looking like a younger version of Roger with the famous broad, toothy smile on his face that commonly follows D Clan members, which could unintentionally end up being exactly on the money.
Fans of One Piece have been attempting to piece Joyboy's identity together for years; the current episode adds to the mystery by refuting a significant fan idea, therefore challenging a key assumption. The first-ever view of Joyboy, whose silhouette points to he might not be a Giant or a Buccaneer as fans had believed, has emerged in the current episode of One Piece.
As Vegapunk discusses the Void Century and Joyboy's demise, Chapter 1115 shows Joyboy's shadow battling against a bunch of kings in a form akin to Gear Five. Though the big straw hat at Mariejois and the enigmatic great crime carried out by the Buccaneer race lead to Joyboy having been a Buccaneer, Joyboy's silhouette in the most recent chapter looks somewhat human both in size and proportion, not unlike Luffy.
Joyboy's shadow also proves that Joyboy and Nika are actually two distinct creatures since Joyboy's is considerably different from Gear Five or Nika in chapter #1115. This naturally sends fans back to square one with Joyboy's actual identity, which is odd given Vegapunk has exposed more information about Joyboy in the last few chapters than One Piece has ever shown over the whole series.
One Piece has at last shown Joyboy's look, hence he might not be a Giant as fans have speculated, or even a Buccaneer.
Should Joyboy not be a Buccaneer, the primary issue still unresolved is the alleged crime of the Buccaneer race against the World Government. After all, years of slavery and hunting down of the Buccaneer race were motivated by this crime. Neither the person who went on to become the first-ever pirate nor the legend of Nika could have matched the bill exactly, hence the Buccaneers did not construct either.
Like Zunesha, the Buccaneers might have belonged to Joyboy's so-called "faction," which ran counter to the twenty kings. The only other person in One Piece equally accused of such a terrible crime is Zunesha, whose friendship with Joyboy might provide hints on both his crime and that of the Buccaneer race.
Beginning as a comic story and tracking the exploits of Monkey D. Luffy, Eiichiro Oda developed One Piece as a multimedia franchise. Affected by a weird curse that bestows upon him special talents he uses to guard himself and his comrades, Luffy is a vivid pirate driven by a passion of adventure. Along with over fifty video games developed over the years, the series went to the live-action arena with Netflix's 2023 adaption, finally producing the anime series with the two being some of history's longest-running anime and manga series.
One can explain the popularity of the show by numerous factors. The show's inventive story turns and interesting characters help fans value it. Its action and comedy have mesmerized spectators.
