the truth about joyboy and imu the toymaker

At the end of the latest chapter, we saw a brief flashback of Joyboy speaking with Emeth, and sealing his Conqueror's Haki in the rope. I've got a piece about the concept of sealing Haki in the works, but for now, let's focus on the fact that Joyboy's appearance seems strange.

Many people have expressed disappointment at the fact that Oda is still using silhouettes, but others have pointed out that perhaps Joyboy seems to have an artificial hook-arm and peg-leg. This would essentially be the arch-typical design for a pirate, all that is missing is an eyepatch.

However, whilst I was re-reading Vegapunk's speech for a different theory, I stumbled back upon this detail, and now it seems to hold more significance than just a gag. Demalo Black accidentally refers to Joyboy as "Joy Toy."

Is it possible that Joyboy was not a real person at all? Not literally at least? What if he was a toy that became a real boy. I'm sure that sounds familiar to almost everybody. Oda also uses Pinocchio as an inspiration for Usopp. In that both are associate with telling lies.

What would happen then, if an animate toy were to somehow end up accidentally, or perhaps even purposefully being fed a Human Model Devil Fruit, and it gains a will of its own? The will of a mythical God, Nika. The desire for total freedom.

This would even parallel Luffy himself accidentally eating the same Devil Fruit 900 years later. Or did Shanks engineer that situation on purpose? Who's to say what the truth really was?

Perhaps then, Nerona Imu was once renowned as a famous toy maker. It just so happens that there's also precedent for this in the story through Wapol and Kozuki Sukiyaki. Both of them are renowned toy makers.

This could be why Oda is still hiding Joyboy's appearance despite the seemingly obvious implication that he should look like Luffy and Roger. Joyboy was a toy made by Imu that came to life and rebelled against Imu to chase a dream of freedom. "There are no strings on me."

Hello, fellow humans! 

I finally finished editing the “One Piece Through Celtic Mythology Lens” video! 

For this video, I focus on the possible inspiration of Celtic mythology in One Piece, and how its theme regarding balance translates through the Will of the D.

How do the characters belonging to the D clan fit with characters who belong to either the Tuatha Dé Dannan (gods) or the Fomoire (evil gods)? What is the role of inherited will in terms of divine order? The video strives to answer these questions.

If you’re unfamiliar with Celtic Mythology, I got you <3 I explain all the traditions and beliefs I’ve made this video based on! 

If it’s up your alley, please check it out! <3

These are my drawings for The GGMILF imu au.

Above is imu and Yriaf in their formal wear.

Below starting from left to right is my fan designs of imu in different art styles before settling to art style E, an arrow from art Style E is imu in their vacation outfit. Art Style C is also imu in their vacation outfit. Behind The vacation art style e imu is a rough prototype Yriaf.

Down here is full backstory and explanation for the au⬇️

If Oda isn't going to kill off Imu and the Five Elders, the least he could do is pull a Witch from Mercury and strip those old dickheads of all their power before shoving them into a retirement home.

[tea-party-with-drosera]

That's actually why Oda didn't add Luffy's mom… She'll just kill anyone who touches her son.

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 1138 OF ONE PIECE

@shishishi-sunny @wyvernslovecake @theheybarrel

I'm basically going to write what I understood from the last panel.

"The First World", ended 900 years ago - beginning of the Great War and to what we call "the Void Century", and "The Second World" - 800 years ago - the end of the Void Century and the beginning of the World Government rule.

The first world was a technologically advanced world, symbolized by the factory. Humanity used the "Mother Flame" - the "forbidden sun" (represented by the balls of energy carried by the slaves) in their industry. The slaves wished upon their liberation, and from what Vegapunk told us, akuma no mi are the materialization of the wishes of humanity. So the Hito Hito no mi: model Nika came to be. A man-made God was born. The "god of earth" Pluton, a ship that moved using the energy of the Mother Flame caused the big earthquake that sank the world 200 meters (chapter 1115), and only the islands we know today remained. To survive the flood, people and animals got on the Noah ark, just like it happened on the Bible passage that inspired the manga.

I'm also curious about "Vearth", the god of earth in Skypiea.

The serpent of hell can be a reference to Jormungandr or the Leviathan. Maybe in the context of One Piece it is Nerona Imu themselves. Maybe it is a former user of the Yami Yami no Mi that brought darkness and death... Maybe it is just the serpent of Skypiea.

"The god of the forest sent forth demons" - the Devil Fruit tree created an army of Devil Fruit users. "The sun merely spread the embers of war" - Nika/Joyboy/The Sun God lead that army into war, his companions of the Ancient Kingdom: Nefertari Lili, Emet, Zunisha.

"The people of the half-moon" - Kozuki and Minks? - and "the people of the moon" - Shandorans, Birkans, Skypieans? - dreamed of a new Dawn. But humanity, the alliance of the 20 kingdoms, killed the sun, Joyboy, and began their reign of terror.

The God of sea became enraged - the Mermaid Princess Poseidon, Joyboy's dear friend, brought destruction after his passing.

"They could never meet again" - Poseidon was exiled in Fishman Island and Pluton buried under Wano. What about Uranus? I don't know, maybe the Mother Flame itself is Uranus and Pluton is "just" the warship.

About the People of the Moon:

Enel's cover page story is now more important than ever. His ark Maxim is depicted on chapter 1138, since it was probably used by the first moon people to come to the blue sea. It has also been a famous theory that the first Joyboy might have been one of them.

Who is that big Dragon in the middle of the page? I'm not sure. Is that the Forest God? I was reminded of the current Gorosei, and it vaguely looks like Markus Mars, just like the serpent resembles Ju Peter.

"The Third World" is about to end right now. It is a post-apocaliptic world where most people aren't aware of the events of the Void Century. We can see a bunch of characters that are well know to us readers and are destined to bring the End of Times and the Dawn of the New World (which we now now it's is going to be the Fourth): Luffy as Nika, Shirahoshi as Poseidon, Loki representing the Giants apparently, Emet the robot who was a companion of Joyboy, a Tontatta, a Mink, and a series of ships with what we assume have the Ancient Kingdom flag:

I would like to bring attention to a character that was highlighted in a previous moment of the chapter. It looks like a Mink, but I think he is a Zoan User - Yamato in his Okuchi no Makami form, the Guardian Deity of Wano.

Finally the big Demon holding the Sun is Imu, next to a ship with their Holy Knights / the Navy. The world will end with the ultimate battle against the Darkness that wants to extinguish the light of the Sun. And the Sun will emerge victorious and bring a new Dawn.

The drums of liberation will play to the rythim of Nika's heart. The will of D. will be fulfilled at last.

As the late Tom would say:

D. = Don = Dawn

Note: Eiichiro Oda studied about the biggest pirates and navigators in the world, which includes the Portuguese, like Fernão de Magalhães (Magellan) or Bartolomeu Dias (Bartolomeo, Bartholomew Kuma). In Portugal, when we refer to a lord or a lady, we put a D. next to their name, short for "Dom" - Sir/Lord or "Dona" - Dame/Lady. For example, Portugal's first king is called D. Afonso Henriques.

I think Oda did a play on words with Don and Dawn, meaning both the sound of a drum and the Dawn of the New World. So the D. clan are the real "lords" of the world.

i really liked the way doberman's and saturn's deaths were paralleled in this latest chapter. the meaning is very clear: the elders themselves are just as disposable to imu as the marines are to the elders.

you can give all of yourself to the war machine, dedicate your whole life to upholding its systems of violence, and it will still eradicate you mercilessly at the first sign of failure or insubordination.

About the marineford part 1

Imu is secretly a passive aggressive troll, they are a type of person who like to mess with people passively aggressively just to get a reaction out of people, why? They are bored and looking for quality entertainment.

Their number one victims of their trolling are their in-laws.

For example, not officially releasing ace until whitebeard calls them.

really, imu would have released ace anyway.at least, They would have if they didn’t know luffy would start the biggest jailbreak of all of impel down’s history.

But since imu knew luffy would have done something like this, Imu opt to sit back, get some popcorn,hack into impel down’s security cameras and watch the shitshow goes down,all while crackling manically.
