In One Piece 1085 manga, Eiichiro Oda has revealed the tragic love story of Joy Boy from 800 years ago. As the story goes, Joy Boy refused the love of Nefertari Lily for something more important. It turns out that the love story of Joy Boy was a tragic one. Let’s take a closer look at the story of Joy Boy and his love for Nefertari Lily during the Void Century.
As we all know, the queen of the Kuja tribe in Amazon Lily always suffered from Koi no Yamai or the love sickness. Even all women in the tribe would give birth to daughters only. These two things have been cursed for every Kuja queen. However, little did we know that it all started 800 years ago in the Void Century.
During the Void Century, Queen Nefertari Lily fell in love with a man known as Joy Boy. Unfortunately, Joy Boy did not reciprocate Nefertari Lily’s feelings. However, it did not mean that Joy Boy did not love Nefertari Lily. In fact, he had a mission and a promise to fulfill to bring Fishman Island to the surface. Thus, he inadvertently communicated intensively with Poseidon in that era. Nefertari Lily felt jealous of the closeness between Joy Boy and Poseidon, which subsequently made her isolate herself and become the first ruler of Amazon Lily. She hated men and cursed the Kuja tribe to give birth to female children only.
However, the love sickness afflicted Nefertari Lily so severely that she could not return to Alabasta. This was what made Im Sama angry in the previous chapter, as King Cobra mentioned Lily. Nefertari Lily was in love with Joy Boy, who was the enemy of Im Sama 800 years ago. If not for the help of 20 royal allies, Joy Boy would have won against Im Sama. Interestingly enough, history has repeated itself after 800 years. Luffy, now known as Joy Boy, has become closer to important women such as Shirahoshi, Boa Hancock, and Nefertari Vivi. Moreover, Luffy has a serious conflict with Im Sama just like Lily did in the past.
The question arises: will the tragic love story of Joy Boy repeat itself with Luffy as his successor? All of these answers will be unveiled in One Piece 1085 by Oda, as the manga’s latest facts and revelations come to light.
