Have you ever wondered why Joy Boy and Dewa Nika lost to Im Sama 900 years ago as per One Piece Universe’s calendar? Recent theories suggest that one of the 27 ancient kings, Nefertari Lily, was involved in the defeat, along with 20 ancient kings who betrayed Joy Boy.
According to One Piece Universe, Im Sama’s power, which comes from the moon, made him stronger than Joy Boy in his Dewa Nika form. Meanwhile, Joy Boy was bestowed with Sun God Nika’s power by Saint Florix, the previous ruler of the ancient kingdom.
Im Sama and Joy Boy are brothers, and prior to ascending the throne, Saint Florix passed on the Moon God Xark’s power to Im Sama, which came from the moon. The distribution of power did not initially bother Im Sama. However, when Joy Boy was named the heir to the ancient kingdom, Im Sama grew jealous, and the Gorosei bosses rebelled.
A civil war broke out between the 27 ancient kingdoms, with 20 of them siding with Im Sama. The remaining seven kingdoms loyal to Joy Boy were divided. The war was dominated by Im Sama and the 20 kings, which made it easy for them to defeat Joy Boy.
One of the biggest turning points in the war was the involvement of Joy Boy. While the 20 kings asked Joy Boy to go to Rex Meguri Castle, which is now called Laugh Tale, Joy Boy decided to join the XII war. Unfortunately, his Dewa Nika power weakened during the night, and Im Sama emerged victorious.
Moreover, the 27 ancient kingdoms were centered around the solar system, and 20 of the kingdoms that sided with Im Sama are now the Gorosei. Six of the Gorosei were the remaining 20 ancient kings. Meanwhile, the seventh king was Bonaris, the Rakshasa tribe’s ruler who was one of the seven loyal to Joy Boy.
The Ras Rakshasa tribe was also linked to Joy Boy’s legacy. In a recent One Piece arc, Elbaf, Eiichiro Oda introduced Akagami no Shanks, Dorry, and Brogy, who were descendants of the Ras Rakshasa tribe.
In conclusion, while some may consider this article to be a theory, it highlights some interesting facts surrounding Joy Boy’s past. But one thing is certain – the One Piece Universe is full of mysteries that continue to intrigue fans worldwide.
