With the Final Saga of One Piece fast approaching, the excitement among the fans is at its peak. As the story develops, there are a few more characters who resemble Joy Boy, but these have not yet been completely disclosed.
These are the characters that carry immense significance, marking their presence in the entire story. For many years, people who admire One Piece have tried to take a closer look at these figures and the role they are about to play in the present plot.
Joy Boy is a mysterious and influential figure from the past. His name was first mentioned in the Fishman Island arc. Historical links to the faraway kingdom have established his prominence in the larger story arc of One Piece. As the events unfold, fans are eager to learn more about characters like Joy Boy. With that in mind, here’s a list for you of characters like Luffy Joy Boy.
Monkey D. Dragon
Monkey D. Dragon, the world’s number one criminal, is at the head of the Revolutionary Army. In terms of his powers, wife, and connection to the Navy, Dragon’s background has always remained shrouded in mystery. Dragon is the father of Monkey D. Luffy and the son of Monkey D. Garp.
Besides several glimpses in Kuma’s flashback, the details regarding Dragon’s past are nowhere near enough. Indeed, the role and influence of a revolutionary leader will be very instrumental in determining what happens to their world within the Final Saga.
Imu
Imu rules the entire world, being a direct blood relative of the Nerona family—one of the 20 founding houses that constitute the World Government. Imu’s memory spans the mysterious Void Century, indicating immortality.
The actual power and physical strength of Imu were displayed quite secretively throughout the show. Fans marveled at a brief display of Imu’s power during an attack on Cobra. Fans remain curious about Imu’s guarded secrets as speculation about how Imu can become emperor of the world mounts.
Rocks D. Xebec
Well before the current storyline, Rocks D. Xebec led the infamous Rock Pirates, intending to rule the entire world himself. His last revealed fight against the Roger Pirates, the Marines and the Celestial Dragons at God Valley, however, remains a mystery.
Rocks is a brutal and intimidating figure motivated to attack the God Valley. His goal to become the world’s king incites many questions. The Final Saga could reveal some previously unknown parts of the Rocks D Xebec’s life and also the influence that he may have in the current plot.
Blackbeard
Being Luffy’s ultimate enemy, Blackbeard stayed in the shadows until he got a Yami Yami no Mi. This possession resulted in him murdering his crewmate while also creating an air of mystery to be answered later.
Questions revolving around Blackbeard’s interest in the Yami Yami no Mi and his capability of consuming two Devil Fruits may also find answers during the Final Saga. With the culminating showdown between Luffy and Blackbeard approaching, knowing about his past will make this formidable opponent even more dynamic.
Akainu
As the current fleet admiral of the Marines, Akainu is a champion of absolute justice. The Magu Magu no Mi, which he possesses, gives him the power to manipulate the magma at will. Yet, the reasons for Akainu’s loyalty to the Marines and his complete adherence to absolute justice remain quite obscure.
With the Final Saga indicating a gigantic clash, including Akainu, revelations about Akainu’s past are possible. The final saga may also give reasons for all of his decisions and choices so far. The story by Oda will undoubtedly shed some light on the mystery of Akainu and it will describe what powers drive him to chase justice.
In the grand story of One Piece, characters like Joy Boy are poised to become central in the Final Saga. From the secretive Monkey D. Dragon to Akainu, each character has a mysterious presence in the show. Be it Akainu’s unrelenting pursuit of justice or Rocks’ motivation to become the king, their past is expected to impact the current plot. Eiichiro Oda is expected to divulge more layers of these characters as fans strap up for a fast-paced climax.
