Now I understand why there is a big straw hat frozen in the basement. The original straw hat owner/Nika user, Joyboy, wasn't a giant but he enlarges himself to become as big as how luffy did, at the same time his straw hat also gigantified due to his awakened devil fruit abilities affecting other things besides himself. They managed to get his straw hat when it is still under Nika's affect and decided to freeze it in order to study the ability, most probably intended to replicate the devil fruit into a smile fruit or to find a way to defeat the Nika user.

😍 It is so adorable that Joyboy might be connected to music and would explain why Luffy was so obsessed with finding a "musician" even before getting a cook.
@Ryasis12345
After 24 years, I don't know how Oda is able to keep all this to himself for so long. I couldn't keep my mouth shut this long and with this many secrets like Oda is doing.
@beatsbymonny
I like the theory that Joy Boy wanted to be young forever so he could keep making people smile but it came at a cost of losing his memories every time he comes back
@misterfuzzyflippers
Thriller Bark also had some subtle hints! Lola's crew referred to Luffy as their warrior of hope and thanked him for bringing the sun back to them. It's a long shot, but in hindsight you can see the parallels.
@shadhinov
Oda is truly one of the greatest worldbuilder, and mystery writer. Roger, Xebec, shanks, joyboy... One can make entire spin off shows based on these guys alone and we would eat it up.
@partialartist
I wanna know if Shanks knew about Joyboy or any of what would happen. He was the one who stole the fruit to begin with and he could’ve known the true origins behind it as to why he put himself in such a dangerous position as to steal it. Joyboy and shanks are the 2 greatest mysteries in this series and it would be insane if they both connected somehow when reaching laughtale
@rafaelzamot42
Oars possibly being the original Joy Boy kinda blew my mind. We all know that Oda loves to hint stuff in the most random ways possible, most of you remember that scene were Oars Jr was having a flashback to were Ace made him a giant STRAW HAT to protect him from the elements.
@RevelationsPrimo
I think the Straw Hat (given it's color and shape) is an abstract symbol for the Sun as well. And given that one wears a straw hat when the sun is out, it's safe to assume that's by default a crown -- going with the Ancient Kingdom + Joyboy ruler bit. Overall, I am still excited by OP lore bc the story keeps me excited.
@CarrionMorris
My theory is that Joyboy was the Sun God Nika, not that he ate the Nika Nika fruit, but that he actually was Nika. After he died people wished for him and that is how the Nika Nika fruit came about, and the reason why Luffy is special is that not only did he eat the fruit is that he has the will of Nika
@graychicken8177
Honestly a lot of times in Shows, the author comes up with these crazy plot twists and gives the characters insane powers ridiculously to keep the show going. But it seems like in the case of One Piece, Oda actually took the time to develop the story over a crazy period of time. If so he really is amazing and One Piece is like the best show ever.
@findseeker6000
I still like the theory that Joy Boy will turn out to be Luffy who time traveled into the past 😂
@_.adomaa
The reason Roger laughed because Luffy left him a letter saying I'm the pirate king not you roger
@gabrielgoes0
I've been in LOVE with One Piece for, I dunno, 18 years? And when the story is coming to a close and these themes of freedom and liberation, which are so dear to me, become so much more apparent, I can only like it more and more. Thanks, Oda.
@davidvargas553
It’s funny how most ships represent something crucial about the identity of the pirate captain and his crew, and the straw hat pirates have literally been going around the sea in a ship with a sun motif “The Golden Sunny” for about 15 years now. Perfect boat for a sun god.
@MonkeyD.Moritz
Roger couldn’t read the poneglyphs Oden translated them for him. Which also means Odens dad can read them and might teach Momo how
@mariothane8754
I think Kaido wanted to die, and the only person he believed could do it was a person who was given prophecies that he would do it. He even said “the person who beats me is who is going to be Joy Boy.” The entire time he was building up Wano, not as a means of exploiting it because he could have taken over other parts of the new world to do that, but because he was preparing himself to become a necessary roadblock for Joy Boy, and wanted the next shogun to be his offspring so he pushed her to be his enemy.

Little slip there at 10:47 😂
@astitvamittal653
Joyboy: The most ridiculous guy to exist Thumbnail: ....wait.. is that Gabimaru from Hell's Paradise wearing a Strawhat???
