One Piece 1085 has finally revealed the mystery surrounding the relationship between Joy Boy and his wife, Ratu Lily. It turns out that in One Piece 1085, it is explained that Joy Boy died because his wife betrayed him. For a more detailed review of Joy Boy’s death, let’s take a look at One Piece 1085.
As we know, Nefertari Lily or Ratu Lily was the Queen of Alabasta Kingdom 800 years ago. Her name was only known by the successor of the Alabasta Kingdom and was not recorded in the history of World Civilization. Even Ratu Lily’s name was erased from almost all records of world civilization.
However, she was one of the leaders of the 20 kingdoms that created the current World Government. Referring to Egyptian mythology, there was a queen named Nefertari who was also famous besides Cleopatra. Nefertari could read and write hieroglyphs, a very rare skill at that time. She had many titles such as Great King’s Wife, Lady of All Lands, and God’s Wife. Her husband, Ramses II, also gave her the title “the one who is illuminated by the sun.”
Interestingly, both Egypt and Alabasta are kingdoms set in vast deserts. All of these are certainly not a coincidence because Oda himself always takes references from the real world for One Piece story.
It is known that 800 years ago, Joy Boy was the ruler of the Ancient Kingdom which was vast. Ratu Nefertari’s title above is certainly related to her position as Joy Boy’s lover and wife. The reason she didn’t want to live in Mariejoa and become a Tenryuubito was due to her regret and sadness. Ratu Lily regretted betraying Joy Boy and was the main factor in her husband’s defeat and the disappearance of the Ancient Kingdom. It is possible that Ratu Lily was incited by the other 19 kingdoms to betray Joy Boy.
That’s why Raja Cobra mentioned a letter from Ratu Lily discussing the D Clan. As we know, the ancestors and pioneers of the D Clan itself are Joy Boy. Considering that Luffy is currently the reincarnation of Joy Boy, it is highly likely that Vivi is the reincarnation of Ratu Lily. It will be interesting to see how Oda depicts Ratu Lily and Joy Boy in One Piece 1085.
