One Piece’s Luffy: The Reincarnation of Joy Boy and the Power of Gear 5
As the main character in the One Piece story, Monkey D Luffy represents the symbol of goodness. Luffy is the most anticipated figure throughout the One Piece story. However, many still doubt Luffy’s current strength to realize his desires. One Piece fans believe that Luffy’s current power is still unable to face tough enemies that he will meet later. But a little answer began to appear since Luffy’s power reached his Awakening. Gear 5 Luffy seems to be the answer to the start of the real fight by the figure of the Straw Hat Captain.
Many people associate Gear 5 Luffy with the power of Joy Boy, who is believed to be a liberator from the past. In the past, the figure of Joy Boy was allegedly a user of the devil fruit Nika which is currently owned by Luffy. Joy Boy’s presence in the form of Luffy’s reincarnation is very worrying for the World Government. If we recall the previous chapter when Luffy’s Awakening with his Gear 5 mode, there were many parties who reacted, even Zunesha, a mythological creature who has lived for 800 years, believed that Luffy is the reincarnation of Joy Boy.
The figure of Joy Boy is so remembered that even his giant hat is believed to be hidden by the World Government in Marijoa. In One Piece 906 manga, the giant straw hat was shown frozen in an empty room in Marijoa. At that time, Im Sama came to see the hat while holding a wanted poster of Luffy, who was also wearing a straw hat. There is no clear indication of whose giant straw hat it is and what it is stored for. But speculation is circulating that the giant straw hat belongs to Joy Boy.
Joy Boy is predicted as the ancestor of the D Clan 800 years ago. At that time, the ancient kingdom, which was led by Joy Boy, was attacked by an alliance of 20 kingdoms. During the attack, Joy Boy suffered defeat and his straw hat was taken and stored by the 20 kingdoms alliance which is now called the World Government. The giant straw hat was taken and stored in a frozen room in Marijoa. There is a theory that says the giant straw hat is one of the three ancient weapons, Uranus. While the reason for storing it in a frozen room is to make the ancient weapon inactive. If all these theories are correct, then Luffy is the reincarnation of Joy Boy who will use the giant straw hat as his weapon.
